We present a solid-state NMR methodology capable of investigating the carbon skeleton of natural abundance organic powders. The methodology is based on the (13)C-(13)C dipolar coupling interaction and allows carbon-carbon connectivities to be unambiguously established for a wide range of organic solids. This methodology is particularly suitable for disordered solids, such as natural or synthetic macromolecules, which cannot be studied using conventional diffraction or NMR techniques.

We present the serendipitous discovery of an unusual dimer formed from anthracene-derived polyarenes. Unlike the typical oxidative coupling of substituted aromatic scaffolds, the reaction yielded a dearomatized enone dimer as the sole product. This dearomatized motif, notably, does not undergo the commonly observed rearomatization, and no biaryl products were detected.

In the Czochralski single-crystal silicon manufacturing industry, single-crystal furnaces often experience corrosion from silicon vapor, which reduces their operational lifespan. However, the preparation of metal coatings on the surface of C/C composites is challenging due to their low coefficient of thermal expansion and the intricate structure of carbon fibers. To address this issue and achieve high-quality alloy coatings, Ni-Al and Ni-Al/Si composite coatings are successfully prepared on the surface of C/C composites through a combination of electroplating and hot-dip plating, and their oxidation behavior at elevated temperatures is thoroughly investigated.

Diarylethenes are a well-studied and optimized class of photoswitches with a wide range of applications, including data storage, smart materials, or photocontrolled catalysis and biological processes. Most recently, aza-diarylethenes have been developed in which carbon-carbon bond connections are replaced by carbon-nitrogen connections. This structural elaboration opens up an entire new structure and property space expanding the versatility and applicability of diarylethenes.

Fatty acid desaturases (FADs) are enzymes that transform carbon‑carbon single bonds into carbon‑carbon double bonds within acyl chains, resulting in the production of unsaturated FAs (UFAs). They are crucial for plant growth, development, and adaptation to environmental stress. In our research, we identified 40 FAD candidates in the Salix matsudana genome, grouping them into seven categories.
