Using detailed Raman scattering analyses, the effect of tin (Sn) incorporation on the crystal structure, chemical bonding/inhomogeneity, and single-phase versus multiphase formation of gallium oxide (GaO) compounds is reported. The Raman characterization of the Sn-mixed GaO polycrystalline compounds (0.00 ≤ ≤ 0.30), which were produced by the high-temperature solid-state synthesis method, indicated that the Sn-induced changes in the chemical bonding and phase segregation were significant. Furthermore, the evolution of Sn-O bonds with increasing Sn concentration () was confirmed. While the monoclinic β-GaO was unperturbed for lower values, Raman spectra revealed the nucleation of a composite with a distinct SnO secondary phase. A higher Sn content led to the formation of a Ga-Sn-O + SnO mixed phase compound, which was reflected in shifts in the high-frequency stretching and bending of the GaO tetrahedra that structurally formed the β-GaO phase. Thus, a chemical composition/phase/chemical bonding correlation was established for the Sn-incorporated GaO compounds.

Ligand-induced changes in the electrocatalytic activity of atomically precise Au nanoclusters.

Atomically precise gold nanoclusters have shown great promise as model electrocatalysts in pivotal electrocatalytic processes such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR). Although the influence of ligands on the electronic properties of these nanoclusters is well acknowledged, the ligand effects on their electrocatalytic performances have been rarely explored. Herein, using [Au(SR)] nanoclusters as a prototype model, we demonstrated the importance of ligand hydrophilicity hydrophobicity in modulating the interface dynamics and electrocatalytic performance.

Hydrodynamic cavitation induced fabrication of soy protein isolate-polyphenol complexes: Structural and functional properties.

School of Biological and Chemical Engineering, Guangxi University of Science and Technology, Guangxi Key Laboratory of Green Processing of Sugar Resources, Key Laboratory for Processing of Sugar Resources of Guangxi Higher Education Institutes, Liuzhou, 545006, China.

The combination of polyphenols and protein can improve the functional characteristics of protein. How to effectively promote the binding of polyphenols to protein is still a difficult topic. In this study, hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) was used to induce the fabrication of complexes between soy protein isolate (SPI) and different polyphenols (tannic acid (TA), chlorogenic acid (CGA), ferulic acid (FA), caffeic acid (CA), and gallic acid (GA)).

The unique properties and versatile applications of natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDES) have sparked significant interest in the field of green chemistry. Comprised of natural components that form liquids at room temperature through strong noncovalent electrostatic interaction, these solvents are cost-effective, nontoxic, and versatile. Betaine chloride-based NaDES, in particular, have shown promise in biocatalysis and sugar extraction due to their excellent properties.

Visible-Light-Driven Carboxylative 1,2-Difunctionalization of C=C Bonds with Tetrabutylammonium Oxalate.

ACS Cent Sci

January 2025

Jiangsu Key Laboratory of New Drug Research and Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy, Xuzhou Medical University, 209 Tongshan Road, Xuzhou 221004, China.

Herein, we report a visible-light-induced charge-transfer-complex-enabled dicarboxylation and deuterocarboxylation of C=C bonds with oxalate as a masked CO source under catalyst-free conditions. In this reaction, we disclosed the first example that the tetrabutylammonium oxalate could be able to aggregate with aryl substrates via π-cation interactions to form the charge transfer complexes, which subsequently triggers the single electron transfer from the oxalic dianion to the ammonium countercation under irradiation of 450 nm bule LEDs, releasing CO and CO radical anions. Diverse alkenes, dienes, trienes, and indoles, including challenging trisubstituted olefins, underwent dicarboxylation and anti-Markovnikov deuterocarboxylation with high selectivity to access valuable 1,2- and 1,4-dicarboxylic acids as well as indoline-derived diacids and β-deuterocarboxylic acids under mild conditions.

The goal of this study was to synthesize and evaluate new antimicrobial compounds. We specifically focused on the development of 2,5-disubstituted tetrazole derivatives containing the O-methyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-(D)-ribofuranoside groups through N-alkylation reactions. The synthesized compounds were characterized using H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
