Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as promising pre-catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in water electrolysis. However, the coordination chemistry of MOF ligands in reconstructed species remains poorly understood, particularly regarding how ligand modulation influences the electronic configurations of catalytic sites. In this study, we present the synthesis of an α-FeOOH coated Ni-catecholate MOF composite (FeOOH@Ni-CAT), which transforms into a ligand-coordinated γ-NiFeOOH active species during OER.

Mobility Control of Mechanical Bonds to Modulate Energy Dissipation in Mechanically Interlocked Networks.

J Am Chem Soc

March 2025

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Frontiers Science Center for Transformative Molecules, Shanghai Key Laboratory of Electrical Insulation and Thermal Ageing, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, P. R. China.

Mechanically interlocked networks (MINs) with dense mechanical bonds can amplify the dynamic behaviors of the mechanical bonds to exhibit decent mechanical properties. Energy dissipation resulting from mechanical bond motion is essential for improving toughness, yet effective strategies to optimize this process remain underexplored. Here, by designing mechanical bond models with controllable mobility, we establish a fortification strategy for the two key factors governing energy dissipation, host-guest recognition and sliding friction, thereby enabling mechanical property enhancement of mechanically interlocked materials.

A novel P(═O)R-directed asymmetric catalytic olefination has been developed, enabling efficient access to carbon-nitrogen axially chiral products with excellent yields (up to 92%) and enantioselectivity (up to 99% enantiomeric excess). The synergistic coordination of phosphine oxide functionality and l-pGlu-OH with the Pd metal center, serving as an efficient directing group and chiral ligand, was key to the success of this C-H functionalization system. The reaction demonstrated a broad substrate scope, yielding 33 distinct C-N axial products.

Jiangsu Engineering Laboratory of Smart Carbon-Rich Materials and Device, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing 211189, PR China.

Enzyme-catalyzed reactions have the advantages of excellent selectivity, low cost, and mild reaction conditions, but the slow reaction kinetics limit their practical applications. Herein, a microdroplet generator that can continuously and rapidly generate water microdroplets with tunable size was designed and used for the study of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in microdroplets. Using glucose oxidase as a model and resazurin as a fluorescence probe, the fluorescence intensity of the collected microdroplets sprayed into the gas phase was 35 times higher than that in the bulk system, demonstrating obvious reaction acceleration in the microdroplets.

Despite the significant potential of photocatalysis as a robust synthetic tool, the high reactivity of radicals often presents challenges in achieving optimal chemoselectivity. In this study, we demonstrate that this inherent limitation can be strategically harnessed for asymmetric photoredox catalysis. By utilizing a chiral catalyst to facilitate kinetic resolution between the two enantiomers of racemic radical intermediates, one enantiomer selectively undergoes the desired transformation, while noncatalytic side reactions deplete the other enantiomer.

Epoxy resin with high thermal conductivity (λ) are widely used in electronic packaging, bonding, and coating. However, those with high intrinsic λ, typically synthesized using biphenyl or aromatic rings extended by ester linkages as the mesogenic unit, often exhibit high liquid crystal transition temperatures and poor processability. In this study, a series of naphthalene-based liquid crystal epoxy monomers (LCE) were synthesized, using naphthalene as the mesogenic unit and modifying the flexible chain length on both sides.

Key Lab of Functional Molecular Engineering of Guangdong Province, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou 510640, China.

1,2-Migration on arenes represents a powerful transformation, because of its chemical skeleton and exit vector editing ability. However, the corresponding dearomative mediated 1,2-migration on arene was ignored for decades, despite tremendous effort being devoted to develop the dearomative reaction, which mainly capitalized on breaking the planarity for three-dimensional diversification. Here, we report on the gold-catalyzed 1,2-rearrangement on benzene by the transient dearomatization of high-resonance energy benzene.
