The ubiquity of sulfur-containing molecules in biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals has long attracted synthetic chemists to develop efficient strategies towards their synthesis. The strategy of direct α-C(sp )-H modification of sulfides provides a streamlining access to complex sulfur-containing molecules. Herein, we report a photoinduced chemo-, site- and stereoselective α-C(sp )-H functionalization of sulfides using isatins as the photoredox reagent and coupling partner catalyzed by a chiral gallium(III)-N,N'-dioxide complex. The reaction proceeds through a verified single-electron transfer (SET) mechanism with high efficiency, excellent functional group tolerance, as well as a broad substrate scope. Importantly, this cross-coupling protocol is highly selective for the direct late-stage functionalization of methionine-related peptides, regardless of the inherent structural similarity and complexity of diverse residues.

A generality-oriented and adaptive α-sulfonylation of alkynes via photoinduced multicomponent radical cross-coupling of terminal alkynes with sulfinates and a variety of alcohols, thiophenols, or selenophenols has been explored. This protocol features mild conditions, good functional group tolerability, broad substrate scope, excellent chemo-, site-, and stereoselectivity, and applicability to late-stage functionalization. It provides a modular platform for the synthesis of value-added structurally diverse α-sulfonyl-containing multisubstituted alkenes from simple precursors.

Article Synopsis
- Atherosclerosis is a serious health issue linked to chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and enzyme activity, yet traditional imaging methods can't effectively track these processes in plaques.* ! -
- The novel unimolecular photoacoustic probe (UMAPP) has been developed to monitor neutrophil elastase and oxidative stress in real-time, using specific chemical interactions to enhance imaging capabilities.* ! -
- Initial tests of UMAPP show its potential in differentiating between healthy and diseased tissues, evaluating treatment effects, and detecting early molecular changes before traditional histopathological signs emerge, which could improve diagnosis and management of atherosclerosis.* !

Developing carbon dioxide (CO) photocatalysts from transition metal carbides (TMCs) with abundant active sites, modulable electron cloud density, as well as low cost and high stability is of great significance for artificial photosynthesis. Building an efficient electron transfer channel between the photo-excitation site and the reaction-active site to extract and steer photo-induced electron flow is necessary but challenging for the highly selective conversion of CO. In this study, we achieved an oxygen-bridged Schottky junction between ZnO and NiZnC (denoted as Zn-O-Zn) through a ligand-vacancy strategy of MOF.

The synthesis of a Schiff base-based chemosensor, denoted as HL, was accomplished through the condensation reaction of Isophthalohydrazide and 2,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in an ethanol solvent. The resulting compound was further characterized using H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, as well as high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Extensive research has been conducted on several facets of metal sensing phenomena, revealing that the Schiff base HL demonstrates discerning and expeditious fluorescence sensing characteristics specifically towards Al (III) in acetonitrile.
