A degenerate zinc-templated catalytic system containing two bipyridine ligands with redundant functional groups for either enamine or hydrogen bond formation was applied to the asymmetric aldol reaction. This concept led to both a higher probability of reaction and rate acceleration. Thus, the catalyst loading could be decreased to a remarkable 2 mol % in what we think is a general approach.

A nano-enzyme sandwich assay (SWzyme assay), a colorimetric system based on a biochip and inorganic nano-enzyme for rapid and simple determination of exosomal Aβ42 in plasma is proposed. Anti-CD63 antibody-modified biochips were prepared for plasma exosome capture and synthesized highly catalytic Ni@Pt nanozymes for detecting exosomal Aβ42. The method was able to detect exosomal Aβ42 with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 4.

This study presents a copper-catalyzed, substrate-controlled regio- and enantioselective intermolecular hydrosilylation method capable of accommodating a broad scope of alkenes and prochiral silanes. The approach offers an efficient and versatile pathway to generate enantioenriched linear and branched alkyl-substituted Si-stereogenic silanes. Key features of this reaction include mild reaction conditions, simple catalytic systems, compatibility with diverse substrates, high yields and enantioselectivities.

Diffusion-limited kinetics is a key mechanistic debate when consecutive photoelectron transfer (conPET) is discussed in photoredox catalysis. In-situ generated organic photoactive radicals can access catalytic systems as reducing as alkaline metals that can activate remarkably stable bonds. However, in many cases, the extremely short-lived transient nature of these doublet state open-shell species has led to debatable mechanistic studies, hindering adoption and development.
