The detection of metal ions and amino acids by the aniline oligomer-based receptor has not been reported yet, to the best of our knowledge. In this study, an efficient multifunctional cation-amino acid sensor (CAS) with aniline moiety and chiral thiourea binding site was synthesized by the reaction of aniline trimer and (S)-(+)-1-phenyl ethyl isothiocyanate. CAS can sense Fe, Cu, Ag ions, and L-tryptophan. These results can be recognized by the naked eye. The appropriate pH range for the quantitative analysis of Fe, Cu and Ag by CAS in DMSO/water (30 vol% water) was evaluated. The interaction between CCS and metal ions was analyzed by H NMR titration. The detection limits of CAS for the Cu, Ag and Fe were 0.214, 0.099, and 0.147 μM, respectively. Moreover, the CASCu complex can act as a turn-on fluorescence sensor for L-tryptophan. On the contrary, there is no response upon the addition of other amino acids, such as L-histidine, L-proline, L-phenylalanine, L-threonine, L-methionine, L-tyrosine, and L-cystine to CASCu complex.

A new [DyBiOCl(saph)] () Werner-type cluster has been prepared, which is the first Dy/Bi polynuclear compound with no metal-metal bond and one of the very few Ln-Bi (Ln = lanthanide) heterometallic complexes reported to date. The molecular compound has been deliberately transformed to its 1-D analogue [DyBiO(N)(saph)] () via the replacement of the terminal Cl ions by end-to-end bridging N groups. The overall metallic skeleton of (and ) can be described as consisting of a diamagnetic {Bi} unit with an elongated trigonal bipyramidal topology, surrounded by a magnetic {Dy} equilateral triangle, which does not contain μ-oxo/hydroxo/alkoxo groups.

Merging SOMO activation with transition metal catalysis: Deoxygenative functionalization of amides to β-aryl amines.

Singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) activation of in situ generated enamines has achieved great success in (asymmetric) α-functionalization of carbonyl compounds. However, examples on the use of this activation mode in the transformations of other functional groups are rare, and the combination of SOMO activation with transition metal catalysis is still less explored. In the area of deoxygenative functionalization of amides, intermediates such as iminium ions and enamines were often generated in situ to result in the formation of α-functionalized amines.

We present the synthesis, structural analysis, and remarkable reactivity of the first carbon nanohoop that fully incorporates ferrocene in the macrocyclic backbone. The high strain imposed on the ferrocene by the curved nanohoop structure enables unprecedented photochemical reactivity of this otherwise photochemically inert metallocene complex. Visible light activation triggers a ring-opening of the nanohoop structure, fully dissociating the Fe-cyclopentadienyl bonds in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline.

Homo-Mannich Reaction of Cyclopropanols: A Versatile Tool for Natural Product Synthesis.

ConspectusThe Mannich reaction, involving the nucleophilic addition of an enol(ate) intermediate to an imine or iminium ion, is one of the most widely used synthetic methods for the synthesis of β-amino carbonyl compounds. Nevertheless, the homo-Mannich reaction, which utilizes a homoenolate intermediate as the nucleophilic partner and provides straightforward access to the valuable γ-amino carbonyl compounds, remains underexplored. This can be largely attributed to the difficulties in generation and manipulation of the homoenolate species, despite various homoenolate equivalents that have been developed.

The local structure plays a crucial role in oxygen redox reactions, which boosts the capacity of layered oxide cathodes for sodium-ion batteries. While studies on local structural ordering have primarily focused on the intra-layer ordering, there has been limited research on the inter-layer stacking for the layered cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries. In this work, the impact of the intra-layer and inter-layer local structural regulation on anionic kinetics and the structure stability are explored through experimental analysis and theoretical calculations.
