Summary: The new catalytic system using Ni(NO3)(2)center dot 6H(2)O as catalyst and a pincer pyrrole-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene as ligand showed high efficiency in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl iodides with arylboronic acids, yielding high isolated yields of coupling products in short reaction times. The system worked well with aryl iodides bearing electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups and arylboronic acids with electron-donating groups, while steric effects were observed for both aryl iodides and arylboronic acids.

Summary: The structure of ligands is crucial in carbon-carbon coupling reactions catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbene palladium (NHC-Pd) complexes. Both the modification of NHC ligands and the synergistic action of the second ligands are required for better catalytic performance. However, the synergistic effect of the second ligands is often overlooked due to their weaker coordination ability. This study utilized three NHC-Pd complexes with the same NHC ligand but different imine ligands to catalyze the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The results showed significantly different catalytic effects, and theoretical calculations were used to investigate the catalytic mechanism.

Summary: An isocyanide-functionalized imidazole was synthesized from 4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)aniline using the Ugi method, and subsequently converted into the corresponding imidazolium salt. Coordination of the isocyanide residue allowed the synthesis of several transition metal complexes containing a peripheral imidazolium cation, which serve as suitable starting materials for the formation of mixed ligand isocyanide-NHC heterometallic complexes.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the transient formation of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in zwitterionic imidazolium sulfonate surfactants in a water environment. The formation of NHCs was accelerated above the critical micelle concentration, due to increased local concentration of hydroxide or deuteroxide ions. The rate of NHC formation could be controlled by the anions of added salts, which also affected the selectivity of anion binding to the micelle surface. The NHCs generated at the micelle surface promoted the selective oxidation of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde, demonstrating the importance of micellar microenvironment in controlling reactivity and selectivity in aqueous media.

Summary: In recent years, there have been numerous studies on the use of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) to remove contaminants from aqueous solutions. However, little is known about using MOFs as adsorbents for the removal of fluoride ions from real effluents. In this study, a highly porous MOF, UiO-66-NH2, was used for the final treatment of complex discharge waters containing fluoride ions. The batch experiments showed that the MOF exhibited high adsorption capacities for fluoride ions, effectively reducing their concentrations in the effluent.

Summary: Surface modification is crucial for the production of highly efficient and stable enzymatic nanoreactors. This study investigates the impact of various functional groups on the catalytic performance of lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB) in a supramolecular hydrogel. Results show that different functional groups have different effects on the catalytic activity and stability of CALB. Additionally, the use of cationic cross-linked beta-CD as an enzyme-stabilizing agent enhances the operational stability of the biocatalyst. These findings suggest that the supramolecular silicified hydrogel monoliths with hierarchical porosity have potential applications in biocatalytic continuous flow processes.

Summary: Hydrophobic coatings inspired by the lotus effect have gained popularity for their ability to solve various problems. The sol-gel method, utilizing silica, alumina, and titania, is explored as an environmentally friendly approach to produce water-based hydrophobic coatings. This study focuses on producing water-based hydrophobic coatings for cotton and polyester fabrics using a one-step sol-gel method. The coated fabrics exhibited improved hydrophobic properties, altered surface morphologies, and lower air permeability compared to uncoated fabrics. TEOS-PDMS coating provides a promising approach for enhancing the hydrophobic and surface properties of cotton and polyester fabrics.

Summary: Pt/C and SO42-/ZrO2 were used as catalysts for the synthesis of p-aminophenol through the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in water with formic acid as the hydrogen source. The optimal Pt loading for PAP selectivity was found to be 1 wt%. The presence of different valence states of Pt affected both the nitrobenzene hydrogenation and formic acid decomposition. Among different solid acid catalysts tested, SO42-/ZrO2 exhibited the highest catalytic activity for p-aminophenol formation. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the conversion of nitrobenzene reached 80.0%, with a selectivity of 47.6% for p-aminophenol.

Summary: The mechanism of the reaction between CO2 and styrene oxide for cyclic carbonate was revealed using density functional theory calculations. The noncatalytic reaction occurred via a concerted mechanism, while in the presence of guanidine and tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) co-catalysts, the epoxide ring-opening by nucleophilic attack of an iodide anion was predicted to be the rate-determining step. Guanidine acted as the H-bond donor to activate styrene oxide, facilitating the reaction with a lower activation barrier.

Summary: Copper nanorods (Cu-NRs) exhibit significant plasmonic behavior and can act as efficient catalysts in redox processes and coupling. A benign decarboxylative approach, utilizing localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) assisted catalysis with Cu-NRs, has been developed for the production of alkane analogues from alkyl carboxylic acids under visible light. The catalyst shows a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance, without the need for an external oxidant or proton source. A plausible mechanism for this recyclable nano-catalyst has also been proposed based on control experiments.
