The preparation and isolation of the first palladium dihydrogen complex is described. NMR spectroscopy reveals a very short H-H bond length, but the hydrogen molecule is activated toward heterolytic cleavage. An X-ray crystal structure suggests that proton transfer to the (tBu) PCP (κ(3)-2,6-((t)Bu2PCH2)2C6H3) pincer ligand is possible. The basicity of the ipso-carbon atom of the pincer ligand was investigated in a related complex.

Laboratory investigations of photochemical reactions in simulated Titan-like atmospheric systems provide insight into the formation of gas and aerosol products and the influence of different environmental parameters on the types of organic molecules generated. Studying the gas-phase products as a function of reaction time provides further insight into the reaction pathways that lead to organic production. The stable isotopes in the reactants and products serve as tracers and help to disentangle these reaction pathways.

Modern medicinal chemists are targeting more complex molecules to address challenging biological targets, which leads to synthesizing structures with higher sp character (Fsp) to enhance specificity as well as physiochemical properties. Although traditional flat, high-fraction sp molecules, such as pyridine, can be decorated through electrophilic aromatic substitution and palladium (Pd)-based cross-couplings, general strategies to derivatize three-dimensional (3D) saturated molecules are far less developed. In this work, we present an approach for the rapid, modular, enantiospecific, and diastereoselective functionalization of piperidine (saturated analog of pyridine), combining robust biocatalytic carbon-hydrogen oxidation with radical cross-coupling.

Article Synopsis
- Ordered intermetallic nanocatalysts supported on high-surface-area materials show significantly improved catalytic activity and stability compared to random alloys.
- Synthesizing these ultrafine nanocatalysts has been difficult due to high temperatures causing sintering and phase separation, but a new method has been developed that effectively prevents these issues even at temperatures up to 1000 °C.
- The researchers successfully created a library of intermetallic nanocatalysts, highlighting the exceptional performance of PtFe nanocatalysts, which outperformed traditional platinum catalysts and could lead to advancements in industrial applications.

Osteoporosis presents a marked global public health challenge, characterized by deficient osteogenesis and a deteriorating immune microenvironment. Conventional clinical interventions primarily target osteoclast-mediated bone damage, yet lack a comprehensive therapeutic approach that balances bone formation and resorption. Herein, we introduce a bone-targeted nanocomposite, A-Z@Pd(H), designed to address these challenges by integrating diverse functional components.
