Two new non-centrosymmetric chalcogenides, ACuGaS (A=Rb, Cs) have been successfully synthesized by an "iterative substitution" strategy based on chalcopyrite CuFeS structural template. Benefiting from the substitution of Fe cations by Ga cations, ACuGaS (A = Rb, Cs) exhibit wide suitable band gap of 2.48 and 2.40 eV, respectively, which is about five times higher than their structure template CuFeS, and a large second harmonic generation response (1.5 and 1.8×AgGaS). Combining theoretical calculation and structural analysis confirms that the [GaS] tetrahedra make the main contribution on their good liner and nonlinear optical (NLO) performances. The "iterative substitution" strategy expands the design idea of materials and can lead to the discovery of a large number of IR NLO compounds.

The tetraalkoxysilane carrying a stable seven-membered dioxasilepane moiety and two trifluoroethoxy groups undergoes reliable iterative substitution of the two trifluoroethoxy groups by sequential treatment with different aryl Grignard reagents while keeping the seven-membered structure intact. The process results in the synthesis of unsymmetrical dialkoxydiarylsilanes and eventually diarylsilanediols after proper hydrolysis.

Objective: Clinicians' overdependence on p-values to determine significance in clinical trials is common yet potentially misleading. The Fragility Index (FI) describes how robust a significant result is by determining the number of events the statistical significance hinges on. However, this concept cannot be applied to nondichotomous variables.

Phosphonates have garnered considerable attention for years owing to both their singular biological properties and their synthetic potential. State-of-the-art methods for the preparation of mixed phosphonates, phosphonamidates, phosphonothioates, and phosphinates rely on harsh and poorly selective reaction conditions. We report herein a mild method for the modular preparation of phosphonylated derivatives, several of which exhibit interesting biological activities, that is based on chemoselective activation with triflic anhydride.
