An electron acceptor based on a quinoidal dipyrrolopyrazinedione core was synthesized for organic solar cells and photodetectors. A power conversion efficiency of 6.7% and a specific detectivity of 4.1 × 10 Jones at 800 nm have been obtained, suggesting the promising prospects of quinoidal molecules for optoelectronic devices.

Electron transfer in polysaccharide monooxygenase catalysis.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

January 2025

California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720.

Polysaccharide monooxygenase (PMO) catalysis involves the chemically difficult hydroxylation of unactivated C-H bonds in carbohydrates. The reaction requires reducing equivalents and will utilize either oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as a cosubstrate. Two key mechanistic questions are addressed here: 1) How does the enzyme regulate the timely and tightly controlled electron delivery to the mononuclear copper active site, especially when bound substrate occludes the active site? and 2) How does this electron delivery differ when utilizing oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as a cosubstrate? Using a computational approach, potential paths of electron transfer (ET) to the active site copper ion were identified in a representative AA9 family PMO from (PMO9E).

Advanced Catalysis and Green Manufacturing Collaborative Innovation Center, School of Petrochemical Engineering, Changzhou University, Changzhou 213164, China.

A visible-light-promoted azidation/arylation of unactivated alkenes with Togni-N has been achieved, leading to a series of azidated pyrrolo[1,2-]indoles under photocatalyst-free conditions. Notably, an EDA complex derived from the electron-rich indole derivatives and Togni-N served as the key intermediate in this reaction.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO to produce organic fuels is a promising strategy for addressing carbon reduction and energy scarcity. Transition metal carbides (TiCT ) are of particular interest due to their unique layered structures and excellent electrical conductivity. However, the practical application of TiCT is limited by the poor separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers and the low migration ability of photogenerated electrons.

Electrochemical oxidative dearomatization of electron-deficient phenols using Br/Br catalysis.

Chem Commun (Camb)

Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University, Furo-cho, Chikusa, Nagoya 464-8603, Japan.

An electrochemical method for the oxidative dearomatization of electron-deficient phenols by employing tetrabutylammonium bromide as a mediator under aqueous biphasic conditions is reported. This approach represents a safer alternative to the use of stoichiometric chemical oxidants and enables oxidative dearomative spirolactonization and spiroetherification reactions. Compared to previous approaches based on direct electrolysis, this strategy expands the substrate scope to electron-deficient phenols.

Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is released by immune cells in the immune system, and it helps the body fight off infections and inflammation by killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. However, tissue damage or apoptosis may also be induced by excess HClO. On this basis, we designed the probe TPE-NS by choosing tetraphenylethylene (TPE) as the luminescent unit and dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride as the recognition site.
