A pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC)-mediated facile oxidative dimerization of 3-arylbenzofuran-2-ones at ambient temperature was developed which undergo oxidative cleavage to 3-aryl-3-hydroxy-benzofuran-2-ones with PCC at elevated temperatures. Finally, direct oxidation of 3-arylbenzofuran-2-ones to 3-aryl-3-hydroxy-benzofuran-2-ones was realized using a combination of PCC (10 mol %) and 2.0 equiv of HIO. The synthesized 3-aryl-3-hydroxy-benzofuranones were further converted to corresponding 3-amido-3-aryl-benzofuranones in high yields by Ritter reaction. Thus, the present protocol provides a nonconventional approach to C-3 hydroxylation of 3-arylbenzofuranones via their dimer using a catalytic amount of inexpensive chromium(VI) oxidant.

In this study, the MnFeO@CoS magnetic nanocomposite was prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method and used to catalyze the ozone oxidation degradation of methylene blue. It was characterized by XRD, EDS, SEM, FT-IR, and XPS. The results showed that the introduction of CoS made MnFeO grow uniformly on CoS nanosheets, which effectively prevented the agglomeration of MnFeO.

Sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a crucial part of water splitting and solar fuel generation, which limits their utilization. Ni3S2 is a promising OER catalyst, in which surface reconstruction is an important step to improve performance. In this study, DFT calculations were employed to investigate the effect of surface reconstruction on (001), (110), and (101) surfaces of Ni3S2 in alkaline OER.

Open metal sites are crucial in catalysis. We have used a "loose coordination strategy" (LCS) to preorganize open metal sites in gold cluster catalysts. A gold nanocluster with composition of [Au26(3,4-Me2-Ph-form)9(iPr2-imy)3(Me2S)](BF4)2(iPr2-imy = 1,3-Diisopropylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 3,4-Me2-Ph-form = N,N'-Di(3,4-dimethyl-phenyl)formamidine) (Au26) has been obtained by one pot synthesis, i.
