Polymerization of a biphenyl bis α-diazo ketone on Cu(111) and Au(111) surfaces to provide furandiyl bridged poly-para-phenylenes is reported. Polymerization on Cu(111) occurs via initial N fragmentation leading to Cu-biscarbene complexes at room temperature as polymeric organometallic structure. At 135 °C, carbene coupling affords polymeric α,β-unsaturated 1,4-diketones, while analogous alkene formation on the Au(111) surface occurs at room temperature. Further temperature increase leads to deoxygenative cyclization of the 1,4-diketone moieties to provide alternating furandiyl biphenyl copolymers on Cu(111) (165 °C) and Au(111) (240 °C) surfaces. This work shows a new approach to generate Cu-biscarbene intermediates on surfaces, opening the pathway for the controlled generation of biphenyl copolymers.

The amount of incorporation of linear alcohols and ethers in HSiWO·6HO (HSiW·6HO, 50 wt %) supported on silica (SiO) was estimated by a conventional volumetric method and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and the state of involved molecules was elucidated. First, the attribution of the key IR band at 2200 cm, which was observed for the water of crystallization of HSiW·6HO, to HO species (protons) was verified by coincident observation of thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and IR spectroscopy during thermal treatment in addition to the isotope exchange with DO. The 2200 cm band was gradually decreased in intensity by increasing the amount of adsorption of pyridine and was totally consumed at saturation, while the volumetric method provided the accurate number of included pyridine molecules.

Revealing the design and synthesis of precisely tailored crystalline catalysts for achieving efficient photocatalytic conversion of styrene into high-value-added products remains a challenging task. In this work, a highly stable crystalline polyoxovanadate functionalized by the dl-tartaric acid ligand H[VO(HO)(tart)]·HO [, tart = CHO] was successfully synthesized by conventional aqueous solution methods. The photocatalytic performance was evaluated for the photosynthesis of styrene oxide by employing an oxygen source as the oxidant in the visible light (>420 nm) conditions at room temperature with compound as a heterogeneous catalyst.

The rising incidence of fungal infections, compounded by the emergence of severe antifungal resistance, has resulted in an urgent need for innovative antifungal therapies. We developed an antifungal protein-based formulation as a topical antifungal agent by combining an artificial lipidated chitin-binding domain of antifungal chitinase (LysM-lipid) with recently developed ionic liquid-in-oil microemulsion formulations (MEFs). Our findings demonstrated that the lipid moieties attached to LysM and the MEFs effectively disrupted the integrity of the stratum corneum in a mouse skin model, thereby enhancing the skin permeability of the LysM-lipids.
