A rhodium(III)-catalyzed indole C4-selective cyanation is described using the bench-stable, user-friendly electrophilic cyanation agent -cyano--phenyl--toluenesulfonamide (NCTS) as a coupling partner. A suitably positioned weakly coordinating -amide group was utilized for this site selectivity. The developed protocol proceeded with a broad scope. [Cp*Rh(MeCN)][SbF] was found to be an effective Rh(III) catalyst for this transformation. An initial study was carried out to know the photophysical properties of the C4-cyanated indole frameworks.

Iron-doped nickel oxyhydroxides, Ni(Fe)OH, are among the most promising oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts in alkaline environments. Although iron (Fe) significantly enhances the catalytic activity, there is still no clear consensus on whether Fe directly participates in the reaction or merely acts as a promoter. To elucidate the Fe's role, we performed X-ray spectroscopy studies supported by DFT on Ni(Fe)OH electrocatalysts.

Due to the labor-intensive manual annotations for nuclei segmentation, point-supervised segmentation based on nuclei coordinate supervision has gained recognition in recent years. Despite great progress, two challenges hinder the performance of weakly supervised nuclei segmentation methods: (1) The stable and effective segmentation of adjacent cell nuclei remains an unresolved challenge. (2) Existing approaches rely solely on initial pseudo-labels generated from point annotations for training, and inaccurate labels may lead the model to assimilate a considerable amount of noise information, thereby diminishing performance.

Feature matching in computer vision is crucial but challenging in weakly textured scenes due to the lack of pattern repetition. We introduce the SwinMatcher feature matching method, aimed at addressing the issues of low matching quantity and poor matching precision in weakly textured scenes. Given the inherently significant local characteristics of image features, we employ a local self-attention mechanism to learn from weakly textured areas, maximally preserving the features of weak textures.

A highly practical and efficient Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed C-H alkylation/alkenylation reaction of anilides with maleimides and acrylates was developed, during which a weakly coordinating amide carbonyl group functioned as the directing group. This approach features high efficiency, good functional group tolerance, and broad substrate scope, and a variety of 3-substituted succinimides and -alkenylated anilides were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields. Furthermore, the reaction is highly selective, affording mono--alkylated/alkenylated products only.

Attaining sub-Kelvin temperatures remains technologically challenging and often relies on the scarce resource He, unless employing adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration. Herein, the active coolant typically consists of weakly coupled paramagnetic ions, whose magnetic interaction strengths are comparable in energy to the relevant temperature regime of cooling. Such interactions depend strongly on inter-ion distances, fundamentally hindering the realization of dense coolants for sub-Kelvin refrigeration.
