The mild and selective aliphatic C(CO)-C(α) bond activation (CCA) of ketones was successfully achieved at room temperature using rhodium(ii) porphyrins in the presence of H2O. Rh(II)(tmp) (tmp = tetrakismesitylporphyrinate dianion) disproportionates in H2O to generate the highly reactive intermediate Rh(III)(tmp)(OH) for cleaving the C-C bond of ketone, giving up to 90% of Rh(III)(tmp)(COR) and the corresponding oxidized carbonyl product in up to 76% yield within 10 min. Substrate scopes cover aliphatic as well as aromatic ketones. Both isopropyl and cyclic ketones worked well.

End-of-life lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) present an opportunity to generate a circular economy through recycling. One of the techniques that can contribute to the purification of leached batteries is electrodialysis. In this work, we present a study of current variation in relation to monovalent (Li), divalent (Ni and Co) and trivalent (Al) cations from the synthetic solution of an NCA-type lithium-ion battery leachate, using electrodialysis membranes (HDX-100 and HDX-200) at three different current densities (12.

Sulfur dioxide (SO), a pervasive air pollutant, poses significant environmental and health risks, necessitating advanced materials for its efficient capture. Nanoporous organic polymers (NOPs) have emerged as promising candidates; however, their development is often hindered by high synthesis temperatures, complex precursors, and limited SO selectivity. Herein, we report a room-temperature, cost-effective synthesis of carbazole-based nanoporous organic polymers (CNOPs) using 1,3,5-trioxane and paraldehyde, offering a significant advancement over traditional Friedel-Crafts alkylation methods.

Microcavity exciton polaritons (polaritons) as part-light part-matter quasiparticles garner considerable attention for Bose-Einstein condensation at elevated temperatures. Recently, halide perovskites have emerged as promising room-temperature polaritonic platforms because of their large exciton binding energies and superior optical properties. However, currently, inducing room-temperature nonequilibrium polariton condensation in perovskite microcavities requires optical pulsed excitations with high excitation densities.

CaSiO[Formula: see text] perovskite (CaPv) is the last major mineral in the Earth's lower mantle whose elasticity remains largely unresolved. Here, we investigate the elasticity of CaPv using ab initio machine-learning force fields (MLFF). At room temperature, the elasticity of tetragonal CaPv determined by MLFF molecular dynamics (MD) agrees well with experimental measurements after considering temperature induced variations in the hydrostatic structure, proving the effectiveness of the method.

Objectives: Mesothelin (MSLN) is an antigen that is overexpressed in various cancers, and its interaction with tumor-associated cancer antigen 125 plays a multifaceted role in tumor metastasis. The serum MSLN expression level can be detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; however, non-invasive visualization of its expression at the tumor site is currently lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a molecular probe for imaging MSLN expression through positron emission tomography (PET).
