The covalent linkage of phenanthrene units at 9 and 10 positions resulted in a broadening of the absorption band and a red-shift of the fluorescence band in ethanol compared with its monomer. Spatial stacking of phenanthrene units also altered the spectral shape of phosphorescence emission, and the oligomer film emitted phosphorescence at room temperature.

A series of porphyrin analogues with fused 1,10-phenanthroline units were synthesized. The proton NMR spectra for phenanthroline-fused heteroporphyrins showed significantly upfield shifted -proton resonances compared to related porphyrinoid systems and the peaks corresponding to alkyl substituents directly attached to these macrocycles were also observed further upfield. These results indicate that the presence of the phenanthroline unit leads to reduced diatropicity, but the internal NH resonance was also further upfield, a result that is inconsistent with this interpretation.

Here we present a highly versatile synthetic strategy based on twofold 6π-electrocyclization accompanied with HBr elimination as a novel approach towards centrosymmetric multi-heteroatom-doped nanographenes build around an electron-rich 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole core. A straightforward synthesis from readily available substrates offers a unique possibility of fusing the 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole subunit not only with carbocyclic building blocks, such as electron-deficient phenanthrenes, chrysenes, or [4]helicenes, but also with heterocyclic systems, such as benzo[b]furan and 5-thiatruxene. The clear advantage of this strategy is that there is no requirement to assemble complex scaffolds possessing bromoaryl units since bromine atom is introduced by bromination of 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole core which, because of its exceptionally electron-rich character, is straightforward reaction.

From a bio-based polyphenol diol intermedia to high-performance polyurethane elastomer: Thermal stability, reprocessability and flame retardancy.

In this work, a novel bio-based polyphenol diol intermediate (VDP) was synthesized through a combination of aldimine condensation and addition reactions, utilizing vanillin, 4,4'diamino diphenylmethane (DDM), and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phospha-phenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) as reactants, then various contents of VDP was introduced covalently into the polyurethane backbone. The integration of VDP has notably improved the flame retardancy of polyurethane elastomer, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the elastomer was elevated from 23% to 30%, and reaches V-0 rating in the UL-94 vertical burning test. The enhancement of flame retardancy is attributed to the introduction of VDP units, which not only generate PO· and PO∙ that can capture active free radicals during combustion, but also releases non-flammable gases to improve the flame-retardant effect.

Article Synopsis
  • The Communities That HEAL (CTH) intervention aimed to boost naloxone distribution in communities severely affected by opioid overdoses compared to standard care.
  • A study involving 67 communities in Kentucky, Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio revealed that naloxone distribution was significantly higher (79% more) in the CTH intervention group than in the usual care group over a year of monitoring.
  • The findings suggest that the CTH intervention effectively increased naloxone distribution, supporting its role in reducing opioid-related overdose deaths.

Background And Aims: Buprenorphine is an evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder, and the risk of precipitated withdrawal contributes to its underuse. The goal of this systematic review was to determine the incidence of buprenorphine-precipitated withdrawal in adults with opioid use disorder.

Methods: This systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023437634).
