Summary: A new visible-light-promoted transfer hydrogenation of azobenzenes has been developed, with the reactions proceeding smoothly in methanol at ambient temperature in the presence of B(2)pin(2). Azobenzenes with diverse functional groups were reduced to hydrazobenzenes with a high yield of up to 96%. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the hydrogen atom comes from the solvent and the transformation occurs via a radical pathway.

Summary: Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) are harmful substances formed during high-temperature cooking of protein-rich foods, linked to increased risk of cancers. HAAs have complex structures and are formed through reactions between amino acids, creatin(in)e, and sugars during cooking. Factors like food type, cooking temperature, and time influence HAAs formation. Understanding HAAs' chemistry and formation is important for risk assessment, innovative approaches for reducing HAAs formation, and protecting human health.

Summary: A highly branched pillar[5]arene-based sensor (B-P[5]arene) containing multiple BODIPY units has been designed and synthesized. Systematical experiments show that B-P[5]arene exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity to both Sn (II) and Hg (II) in acetonitrile/water. Hg (II) ions quench the fluorescence intensity of B-P[5]arene, while Sn (II) causes a broader spectrum without any shifting in wavelength.

Summary: A cellulose-based fluorescent probe (Cel-Nap) was developed for detecting Cr(VI), with a low LOD of 1.07 μm in the range of 0.33 x 10-5-3.22 x 10-5 M. The fluorescence and antibacterial properties of UiO-66-Cel-Nap and ZIF-8-Cel-Nap materials were investigated, with ZIF-8-based materials exhibiting better antimicrobial properties. Materials containing Ag+ were found to be more effective against bacteria than those containing AgNPs, and ZIF-8-Cel-Nap-Ag+ was the most effective material with a significant antibacterial effect against E. coli at a MIC value of 0.0024 mg/mL.
