A one-pot method has been described to synthesize benzopyran-annulated pyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles, effectively by combining O-alkenyloxy/alkynyloxy-acetophenones with various pyrazolones in triethylammonium acetate (TEAA) under microwave irradiation. While combination of O-allyloxy- or O-prenyloxy-acetophenones with pyrazolones occurred efficiently, that of O-propargyloxy-acetophenones was found effective in the presence of ZnO catalyst, via a domino Knoevenagel-hetero-Diels-Alder (DKHDA) reaction. Aminobenzopyran frameworks were also synthesized, after nitro-containing products were reduced in tandem with iron(II) in an acidic medium. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of these compounds was measured and discussed against gram-positive, gram-negative and M. tuberculosis bacteria, fungi, and various representative human solid tumor cell lines, in addition to their ferric reducing antioxidant capability.

Methanol (ME) is a liquid hydrogen carrier, ideal for on-site-on-demand H generation, avoiding its costly and risky distribution issues, but this "ME-to-H" electric conversion suffers from high voltage (energy consumption) and competitive oxygen evolution reaction. Herein, we demonstrate that a synergistic cofunctional PtPd/(Ni,Co)(OH) catalyst with Pt single atoms (Pt) and Pd nanoclusters (Pd) anchored on OH-vacancy(V)-rich (Ni,Co)(OH) nanoparticles create synergistic triadic active sites, allowing for methanol-enhanced low-voltage H generation. For MOR, OH* is preferentially adsorbed on Pd and then interacts with the intermediates (such as *CHO or *CHOOH) adsorbed favorably on neighboring Pt with the assistance of hydrogen bonding from the surface hydrogen of (Ni,Co)(OH).

Salinization poses a significant challenge in agriculture. Identifying salt-tolerant plant germplasm resources and understanding their mechanisms of salt tolerance are crucial for breeding new salt-tolerant plant varieties. However, one of the primary obstacles to achieving this goal in crops is the physiological complexity of the salt-tolerance trait.

The synthesis of large RNA with precise modifications at specific positions is in high demand for both basic research and therapeutic applications, but efficient methods are limited. Engineered DNA polymerases have recently emerged as attractive tools for RNA labelling, offering distinct advantages over conventional RNA polymerases. Here, through semi-rational designs, we engineered a DNA polymerase variant and used it to precisely incorporate a diverse range of modifications, including base modifications, 2'-ribose modifications and backbone modifications, into desired positions within RNA.

This study aims to utilize secondary aluminum dross waste to synthesize Fe-Al layered double hydroxide (Fe-Al LDH) for efficient adsorption of arsenic from drinking water. The synthesis process was based on a multi-step hydrometallurgical approach, in which the aluminum content in the waste was first converted to sodium aluminate. This was followed by the transformation into Fe-Al LDH through a series of processes, including gelation, sol formation, simultaneous precipitation, and aging.
