Summary: Improving the quality of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer is crucial for stabilizing Li-metal anodes in high-energy-density batteries. This study investigates the role of dual additives FEC and LiPO2F2 in the commercial electrolyte mixture LiPF6/EC/DEC, and their effects on SEI formation mechanisms. The results show that the addition of dual additives accelerates the reduction of salt and additives while promoting the formation of a LiF-rich SEI layer, improving the overall stability of the anode.

Summary: The uranyl(VI) benzyne complex (eta 2-C6H4)UO2Cl- was synthesized in the gas phase using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry coupled with collision-induced dissociation. It was formed through a dual-ligand strategy that involves the elimination of benzoic acid or benzene/CO2 from the uranyl dibenzoate precursor (C6H5CO2)2UO2Cl-. The study also revealed the metallacyclopropene structure of the benzyne complex and the necessity for the dual-ligand strategy in the preparation of uranyl(VI) benzyne complexes.

Summary: The study showed that particulates emitted from gasoline/diesel dual-fuel combustion were easier to oxidize and had higher volatile organic fraction compared to diesel particles. It was also found that particles at lower engine speed exhibited higher oxidation reactivity and volatile organic fraction. The nanostructure of dual-fuel soot contributed to its increased oxidative reactivity, with a more amorphous nature being a key factor.

Summary: This study investigates the kinetic evolution of lithium in solid-state batteries through a lithium alloy anode model system, revealing the transition from alloying reactions to metal deposition. It is found that there is a carrier transition from Li atoms to Li vacancies during lithiation processes. The rate-determining step at different lithiation stages is either charge transfer or Li atom diffusion.

Summary: Dihydro-1,4-thiazine skeletons with olefin fragments at the alpha position were prepared through a Pd(OAc)(2)-catalyzed Fujiwara-Moritani type reaction via C-H alkenylation with olefins. This selective method, applicable to a wide range of olefins, only requires 1 equivalent of Ag2CO3. The activation of C-H bonds is strongly influenced by the substitution of the olefin.

Summary: This study investigates the reaction of a silyl dienolate, a Cu(II) salt and TBAT to form the corresponding copper dienolate, revealing the role of TBAT in Cu(II) to Cu(I) reduction and the structure of the precatalytic species. Through NMR and theoretical studies, the structure and formation mechanism of the copper dienolate catalytic species are determined, showing that the copper catalyst promotes the E/Z s-cis/s-trans equilibration of the silyl dienolate precursor. These results unveil unique aspects of the catalytic and asymmetric vinylogous Mukaiyama reaction.

Summary: The thermal properties of imidazolium-based protic ionic liquids (PILs) with different perfluorinated anions were studied by synthesizing 21 PILs with various alkyl and fluorinated side chains. The results showed that an increase in the length of alkyl side chains led to a decrease in melting point temperature, while an increase in the amount of fluorine atoms in the cation chemical structure led to higher crystallinity and lower thermal stability. The best thermal stability was observed in monofluorinated- and butyl-TFSI PILs in liquid state, while the lowest thermal stability was found in trifluorinated- and vinyl-TFA PILs in solid state.

Summary: This work explains the importance of using an excess of butyllithium in the directed ortho-lithiation of a trifluoromethyl sulfoximine. The study shows that the presence of excess n-BuLi leads to deprotonation on the ortho-position of the aromatic, resulting in the formation of six different aggregates. DFT calculations provide optimized solvated structures for these aggregates that are consistent with the experimental NMR data.

Summary: The lactonization of 2-(2-nitrophenyl)-1,3-cyclohexanediones containing an alcohol side chain and up to three distant prochiral elements is achieved through isomerization mediated by simple organocatalysts such as quinidine. This reaction produces strained nonalactones and decalactone with up to three stereocenters in high er and dr (up to 99 : 1) through a process of ring expansion. Various distant groups, including alkyl, aryl, carboxylate, and carboxamide moieties, were investigated.

Summary: Regioselective phosphonation of pyridines can be achieved through activation of the pyridine ring with a Lewis acid to enable nucleophilic addition of a phosphine oxide anion, followed by oxidation with an organic oxidant. This method provides access to various 4-phosphonated pyridines with good to excellent yields. In addition, C2-phosphonated pyridines can be synthesized using strong Lewis basic phosphorus nucleophiles or strong Lewis acidic pyridines in certain cases. The mechanistic investigations help understand the factors controlling the reactivity and selectivity of this reaction.
