Summary: This article reviews the recent advances in the synthesis and applications of ferrocene-fused nitrogen heterocycles. The transfer of powerful transition-metal-catalyzed methodologies for C-H bond functionalization of benzene derivatives to ferrocene has played a significant role in this field.

Summary: The optical fluorescent pH sensors based on positively charged silica microparticles containing anionic pyranine molecules were developed using a modified Stober method, ensuring overly pH-sensitive nature of pyranine and long-term stability through silica shell coating. These cytocompatible ratiometric pH sensors can be individually observed and are suitable for pH sensing and tracking applications.

Summary: New tunable aryl alkyl ionic liquids (TAAILs) based on imidazolium containing weakly coordinating anion [Ga(C2F5)(4)](-) were investigated for their viscosity, conductivity, and electrochemical stability. The gallate-TAAILs showed stability even at high electrochemical potentials and are considered promising candidates for electrolytes in electrochemical applications. More details can be found in the communication by B. Hoge, T. Strassner, et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202102097).

Summary: Ultraviolet ozone flushing (UVO) is used to oxidize the NiOx hole-transport layer, activating the Ni3+ at the top of the NiOx film and enhancing its electrical properties and hole extraction ability. Sequential deposition of perovskites leads to the formation of residual PbI2 at the bottom interface, preventing direct contact between the NiOx film and the perovskite layer and avoiding NiOx-related chemical reactions.

Summary: The double-shelled hollow PMo12-SiO2@N-C anode material achieves excellent lithium storage, with the N-C outer shell improving electronic conductivity and promoting dispersion of PMo12 clusters, and the SiO2 inner shell efficiently avoiding loss of active components. The hollow structure helps buffer volume expansion and accelerate Li+ diffusion during lithiation/delithiation.

Summary: This study presents the synthesis of in-fjord substituted expanded helicenes and estimates their inversion barriers through state-of-the-art quantum calculations. The energetic profile of the inversions is found to be significantly influenced by the interplay of steric and attractive London dispersion interactions. More details can be found in the Full Paper by R. A. Mata, M. Alcarazo, et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202102585).

Summary: The protests in Hong Kong led to a global wave of activism among overseas Hongkongers, even after the decline of the protest movement in the city. This article examines the pro-democracy campaign of the diaspora, which surpassed previous waves of mobilization and evolved into a global resistance against China's authoritarian expansion. However, efforts to localize their agenda in host countries were hindered by political polarization in Western democracies.

Summary: Nassen et al recommend a different hockey skating technique called 'angular momentum skating', but fail to provide concrete evidence that this technique offers benefits for players. Their suggestion lacks proof or certainty, with no objective support for the idea that angular momentum skating can make hockey players faster or more efficient skaters.
