In the field of catalysis, material scientists pay much attention to tuning the activity and chemoselectivity of metal nanoparticles. Herein, we design and successfully synthesize a series of Co NPs which show high performance on hydrogenation of nitroarenes with both activity and chemoselectivity. Co@C/PC preferentially activates the -C═O bond over -NO in water with ammonia borane (AB); however, when the hydrogen source is changes to hydrazine hydrate (HH), the results are the opposite. The Co-based catalyst exhibits exceptionally high catalytic activity (with a TOF value of 10512 h, which is approximately 100 times than the akin catalysts) and chemo-selectivity for the hydrogenation of nitro compounds under mild conditions. Additionally, the catalyst can be separated easily by a magnet and shows prominent stabilit, which means that it can be reused for at least 10 cycles.

Ionic liquid (IL) units in heterogeneous catalysts exhibit synergistic effects to enhance catalytic performance and stabilize catalytically active centers, while also preventing the degradation of catalysts during the reaction process. Ionic liquid units in IL-functionalized CMOF catalysts enhance their catalytic performance in a synergistic manner. However, not only are the yields of IL-functionalized CMOFs obtained with post-synthesis methods low, but they also lead to blocking of the MOF pores and leaching of the ionic liquid.

The electrocatalytic aqueous ammonia oxidation (AO) represents a more sustainable alternative to accessing nitrite (NO) and nitrate (NO). We now report that Cu(pyalk) {pyalk = 2-(pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-oate}, previously employed as a homogeneous water oxidation (WO) catalyst, is also active for selective AO in aqueous environments. The traditional Griess analytical test for NO/NO was modified to permit the operation in the presence of the otherwise interfering Cu ion.

ConspectusControlling selectivity through manipulation of reaction intermediates remains one of the most enduring challenges in organic chemistry, providing novel solutions for selective C-C π-bond functionalization. This approach, guided by activation principles, provides an effective method for selective functional group installation, enabling direct synthesis of organic molecules that are inaccessible through conventional pathways. In particular, the selective functionalization of N-conjugated allenes and alkynes has emerged as a promising research focus, driven by advances in controlling reactive intermediates and activation strategies.

SAr reactions were remarkably accelerated using a pretargeting and activating unit based on dynamic covalent chemistry (DCvC). A Cys attack at the C-F bond on the aromatic ring of salicylaldehyde derivatives was only observed upon iminium formation with a neighboring Lys residue of model small peptides. Such self-activation was ascribed to the stronger electron-withdrawing capability of the iminium bond with respect to that of the parent aldehyde that stabilized the transition state of the reaction, together with the higher preorganization of the reactive groups in the cationic aldiminium species.

Reactive carbonyl species (RCS) are important biomarkers of oxidative stress-related diseases because of their highly reactive electrophilic nature. Despite their potential as triggers for prodrug activation, selective labeling approaches for RCS remain limited. Here, we utilized triphenylphosphonium groups to chemoselectively capture RCS via an aqueous Wittig reaction, forming α,β-unsaturated carbonyls that enable further functionalization.
