The mechanism of the formation of phenol from PhI and CsOH catalysed by copper(i) ligated to the 1,3-diketonate ket'(-) generated from 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione (TMHD) has been investigated by DFT calculations associated with experimental techniques: cyclic voltammetry, (1)H NMR, and ESI-MS. Weak halogen bonding between the negatively charged O atom of [(ket')Cu(I)-OH](-) and PhI leads to an oxidative addition that gives (ket')Cu(III)(Ph)-OH. The latter undergoes a faster reductive elimination that delivers (ket')Cu(I)(PhOH) from which PhOH is released. PhOPh is formed in the presence of an extra base Cs2CO3. The two catalytic cycles of formation of PhOH or PhOPh are branched at the level of (ket')Cu(I)(PhOH) that can either afford PhOH in the presence of CsOH or be deprotonated by Cs2CO3 to generate [(ket')Cu(I)-OPh](-). The oxidative addition of [(ket')Cu(I)-OPh](-) to PhI leads to (ket')Cu(III)(Ph)-OPh involved in a faster reductive elimination that delivers PhOPh and the Cu(I) catalyst.

Surgical Scheduling Errors During Manual Data Transfer.

Author Affiliations: Source Healthcare, Santa Monica, California.
Background And Objectives: Retrospective studies examining errors within a surgical scheduling setting do not fully represent the effects of human error involved in transcribing critical patient health information (PHI). These errors can negatively impact patient care and reduce workplace efficiency due to insurance claim denials and potential sentinel events. Previous reports underscore the burden physicians face with prior authorizations which may lead to serious adverse events or the abandonment of treatment due to these delays.

Optimizing photosynthetic lighting is essential for maximizing crop production and minimizing electricity costs in controlled environment agriculture (CEA). Traditional lighting methods often neglect the impact of environmental factors, crop type, and light acclimation on photosynthetic efficiency. To address this, a chlorophyll fluorescence-based biofeedback system was developed to adjust light-emitting diode (LED) intensity based on real-time plant responses, rather than using a fixed photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD).

Organic semiconducting polymers play a pivotal role in the development of field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), owing to their cost-effectiveness, structural versatility, and solution processability. However, achieving polymers with both high charge carrier mobility (μ) and photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (Φ) remains a challenge. In this work, we present the design and synthesis of a novel donor-acceptor π-conjugated polymer, TTIF-BT, featuring a di-Thioeno[3,2-b] ThioenoIndeno[1,2-b] Fluorene (TTIF) backbone as the donor component.

Rubrene is one of the leading organic semiconductors in scientific and industrial research, showing good conductivities and utilities in devices such as organic field-effect transistors. In these applications, the rubrene crystals often contact ionic liquids and other materials. Consequently, their surface properties and interfacial interactions influence the device's performance.

Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and hydrochlorofluoroolefins (HCFOs) are the leading synthetic replacements for compounds successively banned by the Montreal Protocol and amendments. HFOs and HCFOs readily decompose in the atmosphere to form fluorinated carbonyls, including CFCHO in yields of up to 100%, which are then photolyzed. A long-standing issue, critical for the transition to safe industrial gases, is whether atmospheric decomposition of CFCHO yields any quantity of CHF (HFC-23), which is one of the most environmentally hazardous greenhouse gases.
