Lewis base-borane complexes are shown to be potent hydrogen atom donors in radical chain reduction reactions. Results obtained in H, B, and C NMR measurements and kinetic experiments support a complex reaction mechanism involving the parent borane as well as its initial reaction products as active hydrogen atom donors. Efficient reduction reactions of iodides, bromides, and xanthates in apolar solvents rely on initiator systems generating oxygen-centered radicals under thermal conditions and pyridine-borane complexes carrying solubilizing substituents. In contrast to tin hydride reagents, the pyridine-boranes reduce xanthates faster than the corresponding iodides.

Transition metal carbides, known as MXenes, particularly TiCT, have been extensively explored as promising materials for electrochemical reactions. However, transition metal carbonitride MXenes with high nitrogen content for electrochemical reactions are rarely reported. In this work, transition metal carbonitride MXenes incorporated with Pt-based electrocatalysts, ranging from single atoms to sub-nanometer dimensions, are explored for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

A borrowing hydrogen approach to produce bio-based surfactants is described. The process utilizes ubiquitous amino acids and common alcohols without protecting group manipulations. Surfactants are synthesized in a single step using a commercially available ruthenium-based catalyst in a waste-free manner with nearly ideal atom economy.

Numerous attempts for organic radical stability mostly entail steric hindrance, spin-delocalization, supramolecular interaction with the host, π-π interactions, and hydrogen bonding. To date, there is no report of single crystals containing a hydroxyl radical (OH). In this work, we have stabilized OH in the crystal, which has been obtained from the filtrate after separating the precipitate of the chromenopyridine radical (DCP(2)) from the reaction mixture.

Construction and optimization of stable atomically dispersed metal sites on SiO surfaces are important yet challenging topics. In this work, we developed the amino group-assisted atomic layer deposition strategy to deposit the atomically dispersed Pt on SiO support for the first time, in which the particle size and ratio of Pt entities from single atom (Pt) to atomic cluster (Pt ) and nanoparticle (Pt ) on the SiO surface were well modulated. We demonstrated the importance of dual-site synergy for optimizing the activity of single-atom catalysts.

Herein, we report an HFIP-mediated, versatile, sustainable, atom-economical, and regio- and stereoselective hydro-functionalization of ynamides with various -nucleophiles (1 equiv.) such as thiols, thiocarboxylic acids, carbamates, xanthates, and ,-diethyl -hydrogen phosphorothioate to access a wide variety of stereodefined trisubstituted ketene ,-acetals under mild conditions. This protocol requires only HFIP, which plays multiple roles, such as acting as a Brønsted acid to protonate the ynamide regioselectively at the carbon to generate the reactive keteniminium intermediate, stabilizing the intermediate as solvent through H-bonding.
