Article Abstract
Research on the stepwise hydrogenation dechlorination of chlorinated alkenes forms an important basis for eliminating toxic intermediate incomplete dechlorination products. The low-cost Fe-Ni/rGO/Ni foam cathode both supplied electrons and exhibited hydrogen conversion activity, and it was an excellent tool for the study of stepwise dechlorination. Electrochemical reduction experiments were carried out on homologous chlorinated alkenes. The conditions affecting the dechlorination efficiency and the repeatability of the catalytic electrode were analyzed. The trichloroethylene (TCE) removal rates were all above 78.0% over 8 cycles. The maximum EHDC efficiency was as high as 86.1%, and the faradaic efficiency was over 78.8%. Electrochemical methods combined with the calculation of the electron transfer number are proposed to verify the good hydrogenation ability of the electrode and the stepwise reduction ability at proper voltages. The stepwise dechlorination electroreduction characteristics of chlorinated alkenes were explained. The C-Cl bond dissociation enthalpies of chlorinated alkenes were calculated by density functional theory (DFT), and the 4-Cl and 5-Cl of TCE were expected to be removed first. The stepwise cleavage of chlorinated alkenes on Fe-Ni/rGO/Ni foam during dichlorination provided a reference for controlling the reduction products of chlorinated alkenes and preventing the pollution caused by toxic intermediate products formed during incomplete dechlorination.

It is of great significance to develop catalysts for the degradation of hexachlorobenzene from the industrial thermal process. In this paper, formic acid was used as a modulator to generate defect sites in Ce/Zr-UiO-66 with intrinsic Brønsted acidity. The defective formate ligands were removed through methanol-water vapor treatment to expose additional open metal sites with Lewis acidity.

Arylethylamines represent a privileged scaffold in pharmaceutical compounds and form the backbone of many medical drugs, including those used for treating neurological diseases and pain. Their biomedical significance has inspired new synthetic methods that rely on transition metal-catalyzed aminoarylation reaction to an alkene, often in conjunction with a photoredox catalyst or a photosensitizer, and guided by a directing or stabilizing group. Here, we introduce a simple and effective method for azidoarylation of unactivated alkenes under transition metal-free conditions.
