Over the recent decades, due to the special electronic characteristics and diverse reactivities, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) has received significant interest in organocatalyzed reactions. The formation of Breslow intermediates by NHC can convert into acyl anion equivalent, enolates, homoenolate, acyl azolium, and vinyl enolate etc., and the cycloaddition reactions of these species has attracted lots of attention. In this review, we focus on the summry of the development of NHC-activation of carbonyl carbon (or imine carbon) in situ, α-, β-, γ-, and beyond, and the cycloaddition reaction of these species.

Objectives: Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Studies have shown that gene polymorphism is associated with the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its role in DKD remains unclear. This study aims to analyze the distribution of alleles and genotypes of gene in patients with T2DM, and investigate the association between genetic polymorphism and DKD susceptibility in T2DM patients, which may provide new ideas for the pathogenesis of DKD.

The main purpose of this study is to characterize the nature of the low-energy singlet excited states of the anthranilic acid homodimer (AA) and their changes (symmetry breaking) caused by deformation of the centrosymmetric, ground state structure of AA towards the geometry of the S state. We employ both the correlated ab initio methods (approximate Coupled Clusters Singles and Doubles-CC2 and CASSCF/NEVPT2) as well as the DFT/TDDFT calculations with two exchange-correlation functionals, i.e.

The concept of non-trivial electronic structure combined with reduced dimensionality presents a promising strategy for advancing optical applications and energy harvesting technologies. Symmetry breaking in low dimensional system enables the emergence of non-linear optical responses, which are greatly amplified by the singular points of band inversion. Here, using first-principles calculations, the significant enhancement of the shift current in Bi nanotubes is investigated, driven by the combined effects of 1D geometry and non-trivial band order.
