Isoprene (CH) globally accounts for half of the non-methane hydrocarbon flux into Earth´s atmosphere. Its degradation is mainly initiated by the gas-phase reaction with OH radicals yielding a complex system of RO radicals. Subsequent product formation is not conclusively understood yet. Here we report the observation of C- and C-products from OH + isoprene bearing at least two functional groups. Their production is initiated either by the reaction of initially formed δ-RO radicals with NO or by 1,6 H-shift isomerization of Z-δ-RO radicals. Both reaction channels also form highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs), which could be important for the generation of secondary organic aerosol. CHO and CHO radicals represent the main precursors of closed-shell HOMs. Global simulations revealed that the isoprene-derived HOM-RO production is comparable with that of α-pinene, currently regarded as very important HOM source. This study provides a more complete insight into isoprene´s degradation process including the HOM formation.

Positive surgical margins following radical prostatectomy significantly contribute to tumor recurrence. While systemic chemotherapy demonstrates limited efficacy in this context, local chemotherapy drug delivery systems based on nanomaterials offer promising strategies to address this issue by modifying drug release kinetics and distribution, thereby enhancing antitumor effects while minimizing the toxicities associated with systemic chemotherapy. In this study, we utilized electrospun nanofibrous mats loaded with docetaxel for sustained drug delivery.

The hemibond, a nonclassical covalent bond involving three electrons shared between two centers, has attracted considerable attention due to its significance in radiation chemistry. Water radical cation clusters, [HO-X], exhibit two primary bonding motifs: the hemibond and the hydrogen bond. Although hydrogen bond formation typically dominates, recent studies have identified instances of hemibond formation in some systems involving water molecules.

Surface-catalyzed polymerization is crucial in both chemical science and industrial manufacturing, yet achieving regioselective radical polymerization on the surface remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate the regioselective Ullmann polymerization of nonsymmetrical 2,8-dibromoquinoline (DBQ) on an Au(111) surface. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy, density functional theory calculations, and kinetic modeling, we reveal the regioselectivity and its evolution with surface temperature at the molecular level.

A novel, efficient and sustainable methodology involving visible-light-mediated construction of pyrazolo[4,3-]pyrimidin-7(6)-ones from easily available 4-amino-1-methyl-3-propyl-1-pyrazole-5-carboxamide and aldehydes in the presence of 4CzIPN under an oxygen atmosphere has been developed. This photocatalytic system worked under mild conditions and avoided the use of any excess amount of toxic oxidants and transition metals. A variety of functionalized products were obtained in good to excellent yields.
