Chiral carbon nanodots (CNDs) were fabricated through the hydrothermal processing of sulfanilic acid and chiral tartaric acid, exhibiting outstanding catalytic performance for the chiral catalysis of the ring-opening reaction. Furthermore, the catalytic mechanism was proposed to understand the link between the chiral structure and the performance of the catalyst.

The difluoromethyl group is a crucial fluorinated moiety with distinctive biological properties, and the synthesis of chiral CF₂H-containing analogs has been recognized as a powerful strategy in drug design. To date, the most established method for accessing enantioenriched difluoromethyl compounds involves the enantioselective functionalization of nucleophilic and electrophilic CF₂H synthons. However, this approach is limited by lower reactivity and reduced enantioselectivity.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) exhibit distinct electronic properties, categorized as metallic or semiconducting, determined by their chirality. The precise and selective separation of these electronic types is pivotal for advancing nanotechnology applications. While conventional gel chromatography has been widely employed for large-scale separations, its limitations in addressing microscale dynamics and electronic-type differentiation have persisted.

Heck silylation of unactivated alkenes is an efficient strategy for the synthesis of useful organosilicon compounds. However, extensive efforts have been dedicated to only achieving achiral molecules. Herein, a highly regio- and enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed Heck silylation of unactivated alkenes with hydrosilanes is reported for the first time, providing access to axially chiral alkenes in good to excellent yields with 87-98% ee.

Supramolecular chemistry of carbon-based materials provides a variety of chemical structures with potential applications in materials science and biomedicine. Here, we explore the supramolecular complexation of fullerenes C and C, highlighting the ability of molecular nanographene tweezers to capture these structures. The binding constant for the CNG-1⊃C complex was significantly higher than for CNG-1⊃C, showing a clear selectivity for the more π-extended C.

Alstoschoquinolines A-D (-) representing three unprecedented scaffolds were isolated from the leaves of through direct separation by LC/MS detection. and consisted of a 5/6/5-coupled quinoline architecture containing six consecutive chiral carbons, while and possessed a bridged ring featuring 6/6/6/6 and 6/6/8/6 skeletons, respectively. They might be derived from the corynantheine-type indole alkaloid via sequential oxidation and rearrangement.
