Summary: This study investigates the addition reaction of stannylenoid compound H2SnLiF with ethylene using density functional theory. Two possible pathways are found, with the two-step reaction pathway through the ternary ring product c-H2Sn(CH2)(2) being the most favorable, leading to the formation of a five-membered ring product. Solvation studies suggest that the addition reactions are more likely to occur in the presence of THF solvents. This work provides theoretical support for the reactions of stannylenoid with olefins.

Summary: The performance of direct alcohol fuel cells is greatly affected by the phase and composition of the catalyst, necessitating the development of high-performance alcohol oxidation catalysts. In this study, PdCu core-shell nanoflowers were created for the first time using PVA preparation, resulting in a high electrochemically active surface area and a potent synergistic effect. The Cu@Pd22.3 catalyst exhibited 13 times higher catalytic performance than Pd/C in ethylene glycol oxidation reaction, offering an original method to improve the activity and endurance of polyol oxidation.

Summary: A novel diamondoid hydrogen-bonded organic framework (ZJU-HOF-10) was developed with significantly enhanced permanent porosity through the use of supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) drying method, leading to improved ethane/ethylene separation efficiency. The nonpolar pore surfaces in ZJU-HOF-10(sc) were found to play a key role in stronger multipoint interactions with C2H6, resulting in enhanced C2H6 uptake capacity and selectivity. Actual breakthrough experiments demonstrated the capability of ZJU-HOF-10(sc) to efficiently separate ethane from C2H6/C2H4 mixtures at ambient conditions, providing high polymer-grade C2H4 productivity.

Summary: The paper investigates the dissociation and anion mechanism for formaldehyde hydroformylation using DFT calculation and experimental study. It finds that HCHO insertion into the Rh-H bond is the rate-controlling step in the dissociation mechanism, while the nucleophilic addition of HCHO to the HOCH2-Rh species is more energetically favorable in the anion mechanism. The research also suggests that the strong electron-donating ligand could lead to higher reactivity in the anion mechanism, providing insights for improving selectivity in the reaction.

Summary: The reaction process of ethylene tar in the air atmosphere is complex and has three stages. Studying these stages is important for guiding the production of specific pitches. In the first stage, hydrogen is transformed into alcoholic hydroxyl, which is then oxidized into C-O and COOH/C-O-C-O. Side chains are gradually converted into COOH and -CH2-. In the second stage, dehydrogenation leads to highly condensed structures, and further oxidization forms -CH2-. In the third stage, the sample weight becomes close to zero at around 550 degrees C. Theoretical guidance can help in obtaining pitches with desired properties.

Summary: Orthorhombic Sc2Mo3O12 samples were synthesized via ethylene glycol (EG)-assisted hydrothermal reaction. The effects of hydrothermal temperature, hydrothermal time, and EG additive content on the preparation and negative thermal expansion (NTE) behavior of Sc2Mo3O12 samples were characterized. The results showed that flower-like Sc2Mo3O12 with uniform particle size can be obtained by using 60 ml EG at 120 degrees C for 2 h. Hydrothermal conditions and EG additive had significant influences on the growth and morphology of Sc2Mo3O12.

Summary: A one-pot transformation method has been developed to convert biaryl dicarboxylic acids to (NH)-phenanthridinone derivatives using Curtius rearrangement and subsequent basic hydrolysis. This method is also applicable for preparing optically active amide-functionalized [7]helicene-like molecules. In addition, aza[5]helicene derivatives with a phosphate moiety were obtained as products of the Curtius rearrangement step when chalcogen atoms were present in the substrates. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that chalcogen-bonding and pnictogen-bonding interactions may contribute to the stabilization of these compounds.

Summary: In this study, five fluorescent organotin(IV) complexes based on ONO donors were successfully synthesized and their photophysical properties were characterized. The results showed that these compounds were easily absorbed by cells and mainly internalized in mitochondria with negligible cytotoxicity at imaging concentration. Additionally, these complexes exhibited high photostability and could be used for long-term real-time tracking of cell organelles. Therefore, this low-toxic organotin-based fluorescent probe has potential applications in imaging mitochondria and tracking changes in their morphology within living cells.

Summary: Tricyclic 1,4-dihydro-1,4-phosphasilines 3a,b were synthesized from Si(NR2)(2)-bridged imidazole-2-thione compounds 2a,b. Based on the calculated Frontier Molecular Orbitals (FMOs) of 3b, a possible P-selective P-N bond cleavage reduction could be predicted, and a redox cycle was established using solutions of P-centred anionic derivative K[4b]. The cycle started with the oxidation of K[4b] to form the P-P coupled product 5b, which could be chemically reduced by KC8 to regenerate K[4b].

The analysis indicates that the 1,2-disilabenzene and 1,2-digermabenzene have lower aromaticity compared to benzene due to the presence of incompletely delocalized pi electrons on their cyclic conjugation systems.

Summary: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common cause of acute liver failure in the USA and Europe, but most cases can be recovered or prevented by discontinuing the offending drug. Recent research has found that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) can be used as a potential indicator for early diagnosis of DILI, and there is an urgent need to establish a method to detect and track peroxynitrite in DILI cases. In this study, a FRET-based nano fluorescent probe CD-N-I was developed, which showed high selectivity and sensitivity in detecting peroxynitrite. The probe successfully detected exogenous peroxynitrite in live cells and endogenous peroxynitrite in APAP-induced liver injury of HepG2 cells.
