The carbon cage of buckminsterfullerene I-C, obeying the Isolated-Pentagon Rule (IPR), can be transformed to the non-IPR C-C cage by a single Stone-Wales rearrangement (SWR) in the course of high-temperature chlorination of C with SbCl. The following high-temperature trifluoromethylation of the chlorination products with CFI afforded non-IPR CF derivatives, C(CF). X-ray diffraction studies of C(CF) (n = 10, 12, 14, 16) revealed that the sites of pentagon-pentagon fusions on the carbon cage are preferentially occupied by CF groups. The addition patterns of C(CF) and related CCl are compared, demonstrating a prevailing role of pentagon-pentagon fusions in the stability and structural chemistry of these compounds. Further SWR skeletal transformations of C are discussed and compared with the experimental data available.

Sativene-related sesquiterpenoids including -sativene analogs are a large member of fungal secondary metabolites with phytotoxic and growth-promoting effects on different plants. In this report, a series of sativene-related sesquiterpenoids with diverse carbon skeletons (-, sativene/isosativene/-sativene/cyclosativene/-isosativene ring systems) were isolated from the plant pathogenic fungus based on a molecular networking strategy. The undescribed structures were elucidated based on NMR spectra, X-ray diffraction analysis, chemical derivation, and calculated electronic circular dichroism calculations.

Meltable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer significant accessibility to chemistry and moldability for developing carbon-based materials. However, the scarcity of low melting point MOFs poses challenges for related design. Here, we propose a MOFs melt-foaming strategy toward Ni single atoms/quantum dots-functionalized carbon foams (NiSA/QD@CFs).

Offshore aquaculture is undergoing rapid promotion and development in China. However, the potential impacts of offshore aquaculture activities on the marine environment remain insufficiently assessed, which could affect its sustainable development. This study investigated sediments at distances of 0 m (station A), 200 m (station B), 500 m (station C), 1000 m (station D) and 2000 m (station E) from the first submersible cage, "Deep Blue 1", in the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass.

Article Synopsis
- Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals is a promising method for achieving carbon neutrality, yet it faces challenges related to mass transfer and catalytic efficiency in industrial applications.
- The new electrocatalyst, consisting of metallic Ag atomic clusters supported on a metal-organic cage (Ag AC/MOC), enhances CO concentration at catalytic sites, leading to more efficient CO conversion.
- Studies show that the Ag AC/MOC significantly improves CO conversion rates and selectivity, achieving a high faradaic efficiency of 97.0% and a CO partial current of 231.6 mA cm, surpassing traditional metallic Ag catalysts.
