In this study, unconventional C-Hlg···H-C (Hlg = Cl, Br, and I) interactions involving sp, sp, and sp organic halides were investigated at the RI-MP2/aug-cc-pVQZ level of theory. Energy Decomposition Analyses (EDA) and Natural Bonding Orbital (NBO) studies showed that these intermolecular contacts are mainly supported by orbital and dispersion contributions, which counteracted the unfavorable/slightly favorable electrostatics due to the halogen-hydrogen σ-hole facing. In addition, the Bader's Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) and the Noncovalent Interaction plot (NCIplot) visual index methodologies were used to further characterize the interactions discussed herein. We expect that the results reported herein will be useful in the fields of supramolecular chemistry, crystal engineering, and rational drug design, where the fine tuning of noncovalent interactions is crucial to achieve molecular recognition or a specific solid-state architecture.

Phase separation plays a crucial role in many natural and industrial processes, such as the formation of clouds and minerals and the distillation of crude oil. In metals and alloys, phase separation is an important approach often utilized to improve their mechanical strength for use in construction, automobile, and aerospace manufacturing. Despite its importance in many processes, the atomic details of phase separation are largely unknown.

During the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts undergo structural reorganization, a phenomenon that is still not fully comprehended. Additionally, designing MOFs that undergo structural reconstruction to produce highly active OER catalysts continues to pose significant challenges. Herein, a bimetallic MOF (CoNi-MOF) with carboxylate oxygen and pyridine nitrogen coordination has been synthesized and its reconstruction behavior has been analyzed.

This study investigates the potential of boron trifluoride etherate (BF·OEt) to trigger unprecedented reactions of 2-oxoaldehydes with nitriles and amides/sulphonamides. In contrast to the mechanism in conventional reactions, the α-carbonyl group in 2-oxoaldehydes induces a cyclization pathway to be followed when reacting with nitriles, yielding 4-amidooxazoles. Additionally, reactions with weak nucleophiles produce β-keto amides/sulphonamides.

The exploration and development of deep marine shale gas has made significant breakthroughs, but factors influencing gas contents of deep marine shale are elusive, and quantitative prediction methods of gas content needs to be refined urgently. In this study, the deep marine shale of Longmaxi Formation in Luzhou area was taken as an example, vitrinite reflectance analysis, kerogen microscopy experiment, TOC content analysis, mineral composition analysis, gas content measurement, isothermal adsorption experiment, physical property analysis and argon ion polishing scanning electron microscopy experiment were carried out to find out factors affecting the gas content of deep marine shale, and a gas content prediction model has been worked out. Conclusions below have been reached: the content of adsorbed gas is mainly affected by Ro, TOC content, porosity, water saturation, clay mineral content, formation temperature and pressure; the content of free gas is mainly controlled by porosity, water saturation, formation temperature and pressure; according to the prediction models, the adsorbed gas content, free gas content and total gas content of each well were quantitatively calculated, and the study area was divided into Class I (with a total gas content ≥ 11 m/t), Class II (with a total gas content between 9 m/t and 11 m/t), and Class III (with a total gas content < 9 m/t) gas-bearing areas.
