Electrophilic fluorination of aryl α-naphthyl Pt(II) complexes leads to an unprecedented 1,3-migration of the aryl ligand to the β-position of the naphthyl group. The reaction proceeds via the initial oxidative addition of two fluoro ligands to the Pt center followed by C(sp(2))-C(sp(2)) coupling and aryl migration.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease that is marked by profound neurovascular dysfunction and significant cell-specific alterations in the brain vasculature. Recent advances in high throughput single-cell transcriptomics technology have enabled the study of the human brain vasculature at an unprecedented depth. Additionally, the understudied niche of cerebrovascular cells, such as endothelial and mural cells, and their subtypes have been scrutinized for understanding cellular and transcriptional heterogeneity in AD.

Background: Students in Lebanon are facing the devastating impact of multiple national crises, including an unprecedented economic collapse and the Beirut port explosion that killed hundreds, injured thousands, and displaced hundreds of thousands of people. The aim of this study was to identify key social determinants of common mental health symptoms before and after the Beirut port explosion for students at the American University of Beirut, a university based around 4 km from the port.

Methods: Two cross-sectional studies were conducted using a representative sample of undergraduate and graduate students at the American University of Beirut.

Unlocking hexafluoroisopropanol as a practical anion-binding catalyst for living cationic polymerization.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Chang Chun Institute of Applied Chemistry Chinese Academy of Sciences, Key Laboratory of Polymer Ecomaterials, 5625 Renmin Street, Changchun, , 130022, Changchun, CHINA.

Living cationic polymerization (LCP) is a classical technique for precision polymer synthesis; however, due to the high sensitivity of cationic active species towards chain-transfer/termination events, it is notoriously difficult to control polymerization under mild conditions, which inhibits its progress in advanced materials engineering. Here, we unlock a practical anion-binding catalytic strategy to address the historical dilemma in LCP. Our experimental and mechanistic studies demonstrate that commercially accessible hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), when used in high loading, can create higher-order HFIP aggregates to tame dormant-active species equilibrium via non-covalent anion-binding principle, in turn inducing distinctive polymerization kinetics behaviors that grant efficient chain propagation while minimizing competitive side reactions.

Radical Homopolymerization of α-Olefins to Synthesize Polysulfones - a "SO2-free" Approach.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

ShanghaiTech University, School of Physicl Science and Technology, 393 Middle Huaxia Road, Pudong, Shanghai, 201210, Shanghai, CHINA.

Traditionally, α-olefins have been regarded as non-homopolymerizable substrates in textbook examples. However, they have the ability to copolymerize with sulfur dioxide, leading to the creation of alternating copolymers. These commodity poly(olefin sulfone)s exhibite a wide array of applications.

The widespread use of electronic devices has led to increased blue light exposure, highlighting the need for effective radiation blockers with blue light protection. Two synthetic 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole derivatives named azo-4'-benzoxazole and azo-5'-benzoxazole have shown an unprecedented blue light absorption capacity but had not been subjected to a safety evaluation. This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic activities of these compounds.
