Asymmetric SE' reactions of (E)- and (Z)-γ-substituted-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes have been studied for the stereocontrolled preparation of nonracemic alcohols. Mild exchange reactions of allylic stannanes provide access to chiral 1,3-bis(tolylsulfonyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1,3-diaza-2-borolidines. These reagents display reactivity with the γ-substituted α,β-unsaturated aldehydes, which is characterized by matched and mismatched elements of stereocontrol. Computational analysis (using density functional theory) provides valuable insights to guide reaction development.

Background: Extended monovision is a novel mix-and-match approach that has been recently introduced. It involves implanting an aspherical monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) for distance vision in the dominant eye, and a bifocal extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL in the nondominant eye. The target refraction for the nondominant eye is - 1.

Owing to their synergistic interactions, dual-atom catalysts (DACs) with well-defined active sites are attracting increasing attention. However, more experimental research and theoretical investigations are needed to further construct explicit dual-atom sites and understand the synergy that facilitates multistep catalytic reactions. Herein, we precisely design a series of asymmetric selenium-based dual-atom catalysts that comprise heteronuclear SeN-MN (M = Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo, etc.

Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China.

Lattice thermal conductivity ( ) is of great importance in basic sciences and in energy conversion applications. However, low- crystalline materials have only been obtained from heavy elements, which typically exhibit poor stability and possible toxicity. Thus, low- materials composed of light elements should be explored.

Solvatochromic charge model of isonitrile probes for investigating hydrogen-bond dynamics with 2DIR spectroscopy.

Department of Chemistry - Ångström Laboratory, Uppsala University, SE-75120 Uppsala, Sweden.

Isonitrile-derivatized amino acids are emerging as highly effective infrared (IR) probes for investigating the structures and dynamics of hydrogen (H)-bonds. These probes enable the quantification of chemical exchange processes in solute-solvent complexes via two-dimensional IR spectroscopy and hold significant promise for site-specific dynamic studies within proteins. Despite their potential, theoretical models that elucidate the solvatochromism of isonitriles remain underdeveloped.

Background: Millions of people worldwide suffer from back pain and muscle weakness due to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It has been found that Schroth exercises (SE) are the most effective treatment for AIS. However, it is still not clear how combining SE with asymmetric spinal stabilization exercises (ASSE) can impact back pain and trunk extensor muscle endurance (TE).
