It has been found that 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN), unlike N,N-dimethylaniline, undergoes ring metallation in the n-BuLi-TMEDA-Et2O system with a low selectivity and in poor total yields. The situation is significantly improved in the t-BuLi-TMEDA-n-hexane system when 3- and 4-lithium derivatives become the only reaction products obtained in good yields. The formation of 3-Li-DMAN is especially desired since no method of direct meta-functionalization of DMAN is known to date. The relative stability and structure of DMAN lithium derivatives have been examined with the help of X-ray and multinuclear NMR measurements as well as DFT calculations.

Silicon is a promising negative electrode material for solid-state batteries (SSBs) due to its high specific capacity and ability to prevent lithium dendrite formation. However, SSBs with silicon electrodes currently suffer from poor cycling stability, despite chemical engineering efforts. This study investigates the cycling failure mechanism of composite Si/LiPSCl electrodes by decoupling the effects of interface chemical degradation and mechanical cracking.

A one-pot protocol was developed for the synthesis of functionalized benzotropone derivatives via a nucleophilic phthalide ring opening by a 5-lithiated dioxinone derivative, followed by an intramolecular aldol condensation. The method demonstrates exceptional versatility with diverse substrates, yielding a variety of functionalized benzotropones. Subsequent transformations of the obtained benzotropone derivatives were explored for their potential applications.

Glycans are complex structures that require MS/MS for detailed structural elucidation. Incorporating metals can provide more structural information by inhibiting glycosidic cleavage and enhancing cross-ring fragmentation. A direct analysis was performed using lithium doping and IR-MALDESI to induce cross-ring fragmentation of glycans.

The demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has increased rapidly. However, commercial inorganic-based cathode materials have a low theoretical capacity and inherent disadvantages, such as high cost and toxicity. Redox-active organic cathodes with a high theoretical capacity, eco-friendly properties, and sustainability have been developed to overcome these limitations.
