Summary: The precipitation of a stable quasicrystalline i-phase has been observed in a Mg-6Zn-3Al magnesium alloy, which may be the first discovery of a stable i-phase in this alloy. The dissolution of i-phase at grain boundaries leads to precipitation in the Mg-matrix during cooling. Nucleation characteristics, phase transformation, and interface morphology were investigated.

Summary: Simple synthetic routes for the regioselective deuteration of tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (Me6TREN) variants are described. Formation of imine with formaldehyde-d(2) from tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) and subsequent reduction with NaBD4 resulted in N[CH2CH2N(CD3)(2)](3) or d(18)-Me6TREN in 79% yield. A trisubstitution protocol from 2-bromo-N,N-dimethylacetamide and ammonium carbonate, followed by reduction of the N(CH2CONMe2)(3) intermediate with lithium aluminum deuteride, afforded N[CH2CD2N(CH3)(2)](3) or (d(6)-arm)-Me6TREN in three steps and 52% overall yield. A similar protocol using 2-bromo-N,N-dimethyl-d(2)-acetamide, obtained from d(4)-acetic acid in two steps, and reduction of the N(CD2CONMe2)(3) intermediate with lithium aluminum hydride, resulted in N[CD2CH2N(CH3)(2)](3) or (d(6)-cap)-Me6TREN in four steps and 13% overall yield.

Summary: This study investigated the precipitation and crystallographic relationships between the quench-induced S phase and Al matrix in an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy using scanning transmission electron microscopy and scanning precession electron diffraction. It was found that higher lattice strain energy led to Zn segregation at the S-Al interfaces and the heterogeneous nucleation of nanosized eta' precipitates. The crystallographic orientation relationships between the S phases and precipitates were reported and discussed for the first time in an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy.

Summary: This study describes a gold-catalysed cycloisomerization of 1,5-diynes, providing a selective access to 1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrroles. The cationic gold catalyst activates the ynamide moiety, initiating the cycloisomerization to produce the pyrrole core. Water acts as an external nucleophile to trap the vinyl cationic species, leading to the formation of 1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrroles with high selectivity.

Summary: In this work, the Bucket Effect is revealed for the first time to promote the third-order nonlinear optical performance in metal-heteroaromatic compounds. The researchers successfully constructed and investigated a series of metallapentalenes with higher third-order NLO performance, benefiting from the Bucket Effect. Aromaticity and electron-hole analysis further confirm the internal homogeneity of organometallic rings, reduced bandgap, and enhanced low-energy peak response resulting in enhanced third-order NLO effects. The discovery of this emerging material library and the feasibility of engineering high response metal-heteroaromatic optical devices at the electronic structure level are significant.

Summary: Transition metal-catalyzed divergent synthesis through alternation of the catalyst is demonstrated, providing an operationally simple way to access different valuable products from the same reactants. A gold-catalyzed cascade reaction of conjugated diynamides with allylic alcohols is described, giving selectively substituted allenes and furans by varying the catalysts. Mechanistic studies reveal a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and an intramolecular Himbert arene/allene Diels-Alder cycloaddition as additional reaction sequences to access dearomatized products with bicyclo[2,2,2]octadiene core.

Summary: This study reports 2D lead-MOFs that generate white light through the combined effect of free excitons and self-trapped excitons. The synthesized BIF-142-Cl exhibits outstanding white-light emission with color coordinates close to pure white light, excellent color rendering index, and gentle correlation color temperature. Additionally, the emission can be adjusted from blue to white light by changing the excitation wavelength. This synthetic strategy not only offers potential for solid-state lighting materials but also expands possibilities in anticounterfeiting, display media, and information identification fields.
