Near-IR (NIR) organic dyes have been widely utilized in life sciences and materials science. Herein we report an unusually large NIR solvatochromism of monohydroxybenziphthalocyanine, an analogue of 18π-electron aromatic phthalocyanine in which a single isoindoline unit is replaced with a phenol ring. The solvatochromism is attributed to deprotonation of the phenol moiety in highly polar solvents, leading to the generation of a strongly NIR-absorptive 18π-electron aromatic quinoidal monoanion.

Amide bond formation is fundamental in nature and is widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other valuable products. Current methods for amide synthesis are often step and atom inefficient, requiring the use of protecting groups, deleterious reagents and organic solvents that create significant waste. The development of cleaner and more efficient catalytic methods for amide synthesis remains an urgent unmet need.

Embedding techniques allow the efficient description of correlations within localized fragments of large molecular systems while accounting for their environment at a lower level of theory. We introduce FragPT2: a novel embedding framework that addresses multiple interacting active fragments. Fragments are assigned separate active spaces, constructed by localizing canonical molecular orbitals.

Metabolic reprogramming is important in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) development. However, studies investigating the metabolic signature within the liver of PBC patients are limited. In this study, liver biopsies from 31 PBC patients and 15 healthy controls were collected, and comprehensive metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics analysis were conducted to characterize the metabolic landscape in PBC.

Organic additives with multiple functional groups have shown great promise in improving the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells. The functional groups can passivate undercoordinated ions to reduce nonradiative recombination losses. However, how these groups synergistically affect the enhancement beyond passivation is still unclear.

Herein, we report a formal C-C bond azidation and cyanation of unactivated aliphatic ketones using commercially available tosyl azide and cyanide, respectively. A visible-light-mediated organophotocatalyst enables radical azidation and cyanation of ketone-derived pro-aromatic dihydroquinazolinones (under mostly redox-neutral conditions) as supported by preliminary mechanistic studies. These metal-free and scalable protocols can be used to synthesize tertiary, secondary, and primary alkyl azides and nitriles with good functional group tolerance and postsynthetic diversification of the azide group, including bioconjugation.
