Blue Vane and Pan Traps Are More Effective for Profiling Multiple Facets of Bee Diversity in Subtropical Forests.

The choice of trap in entomological surveys affects the composition of captured insects, though previous comparative studies have been limited in the types of composition measured, and the effects of environmental context. We assessed the sampling bias of several traps commonly used in pollinator monitoring: blue, yellow, and white pan traps, and blue vane traps, towards different taxonomic and functional groups and their efficiency in measuring taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity. Analyses were performed in monoculture and mixed forests to understand the environmental context of trap efficiency.

Atroposelective synthesis of axially chiral indolizinylpyrroles by catalytic asymmetric Paal-Knorr reaction.

We present herein a highly efficient atroposelective synthesis of five/five-membered -indolizinylpyrrole through the chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyzed Paal-Knorr reaction of 3-aminoindolizines and 1,4-diketones. The reaction features mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope and excellent enantioselectivity. Moreover, this method provides a facile approach to a novel axially chiral indolizine-pyrrole framework.

Precisely Tailoring the Second Coordination Sphere of a Cobalt Single-Atom Catalyst for Selective Hydrogenation of Halogenated Nitroarenes.

The development of highly efficient and cost-effective nonprecious metal catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of halogenated nitroarenes is very appealing yet challenging. Here, we demonstrate that the hydrogenation activity and selectivity of Co single-atom catalyst (SAC) can be tuned by tailoring the structure of second coordination sphere via P doping. As revealed by synchrotron radiation-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy characterizations, such a P doping on N-coordinated Co SAC results in the unsymmetric Co-NP coordination structure.

Hydro- and deutero-deamination of primary amines using O-diphenylphosphinylhydroxylamine.

While selective defunctionalizations are valuable in organic synthesis, hydrodeamination of primary amines poses challenges. Deuterodeamination, analogous to hydrodeamination, presents even greater difficulties due to its frequently slower deuteration rate, interference by hydrogenation and constraints in deuterated sources. This study introduces a reliable, robust, and scalable hydro- and deuterodeamination method capable of handling various primary amines.

Recyclable Amphiphilic Magnetic-responsive Mixed-Shell Nanoparticles With High Interfacial Activity Comparable to Janus Particles for Oily Water Purification.

Amphiphilic magnetic-responsive mixed-shell nanoparticles (Mag-MSNPs) with tailorable compositions are synthesized by electrostatic-mediated cross-linking of core-forming blocks of two diblock copolymers, followed by in situ growth of magnetite in the cross-linked core. The Mag-MSNPs have a magnetic-responsive core and hydrophilic/lipophilic mixed shells, firmly anchoring at the oil-water interface of emulsified oil droplets due to their high interfacial activity (13.1 mN m at a rather low emulsifier concentration of 1.

Integrable utilization of intermittent sunlight and residual heat for on-demand CO conversion with water.

Abundant residual heat from industrial emissions may provide energy resource for CO conversion, which relies on H gas and cannot be accomplished at low temperatures. Here, we report an approach to store electrons and hydrogen atoms in catalysts using sunlight and water, which can be released for CO reduction in dark at relatively low temperatures (150-300 °C), enabling on-demand CO conversion. As a proof of concept, a model catalyst is developed by loading single Cu sites on hexagonal tungsten trioxide (Cu/WO).

Rare-earth metal complexes bearing electrophilic and nucleophilic carbon centres and their unique reactivity patterns towards pyridine derivatives.

The rare-earth metal dialkyl complexes (κ-L)RE(CHSiMe)·(THF) [RE = Lu(1a), Yb(1b), Er(1c), Y(1d), Dy(1e)] (L = 1-(2--CHNCHCH)-3-(2,6-PrCHN[double bond, length as m-dash]CH)-CHN) and the rare-earth metal monoalkyl complexes (κ-L)RE(CHSiMe)·(THF) [ = 0, RE = Lu(2a), Yb(2b); = 1, Er(2c), Y(2d), Dy(2e)], (κ-L)RE(CHSiMe)·THF [RE = Yb(3a), Er(3b), Y(3c), Dy(3d), Gd(3e)] (L = 1-(2--CHNCHCH)-3-(AdN[double bond, length as m-dash]CH)-CHN) (Ad = adamantyl, CH) have been synthesized and fully characterized. These complexes feature chelate ligands having a conjugated system (-C[double bond, length as m-dash]C-C[double bond, length as m-dash]N) with an sp carbon, which enables both electrophilic and nucleophilic carbon centres to be directly connected to the highly electrophilic rare-earth metal ions. The reactions of these complexes with different pyridine derivatives have been systematically investigated with the discovery of reactivity patterns distinct from those of previously reported transition metal complexes.

Bioinspired and biomimetic nucleobase-containing polymers: the effect of selective multiple hydrogen bonds.

Bioinspired and biomimetic nucleobase-containing polymers are a series of polydisperse nucleic acid analogs, mainly obtaining through highly efficient and scalable step-growth or chain polymerizations. The combination of pendant nucleobase groups and various backbones endows the polymers/materials with selective multiple H-bonds under distinct conditions, demonstrating the broad applicability of this new family of polymeric materials. In this perspective, we critically summarize recent advances of bioinspired and biomimetic nucleobase-containing polymers and materials in both solution and the bulk.

The effect of rumination on problematic mobile phone use among female freshmen: A moderated mediation model.

Based on the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution model and the risk-buffering model, the current study explored how and when rumination increases problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) among Chinese female freshmen. Specifically, we investigated the underlying mechanism of PMPU by testing a moderated mediation model in which solitude capacity moderated the mediating role of fear of missing out (FoMO) in the relationship between rumination and PMPU. A sample of 1,389 female freshmen in China, with a mean age of 19.

Polarity-Targeted Carbon Dots for Mitochondria and Lysosomes Imaging.

Normally, electrostatic-dependent mitochondria localization can cause a decrease/loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), leading to the corresponding abnormal behaviors. So, achieving subcellular organelle localization and imaging with as little interference on their physiological activity is of significance for understanding cell activity. Herein, we discover and demonstrate that "polarity" can independently act as a novel kind of target for labeling at the organelle level.

Assessing the adoption barriers for the AI in food supply chain finance applying a hybrid interval-valued Fermatean fuzzy CRITIC-ARAS model.

The identification and evaluation of barriers to artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in food supply chain finance (FSCF) can be addressed as a multiattribute decision-making problem. However, only a few studies have reported the application of decision models for evaluating barriers to the implementation of AI in FSCF, especially within an uncertain context. Hence, this work explores the evaluation issue of implementation barriers via an integrated decision model.
