Summary: We report two distinctly different, catalyst-dependent, modes of regio- and enantioselective cycloaddition reactions between alkynes and 1,3-dienes providing rapid access to highly functionalized 1,4-cyclohexadienes or cyclobutenes from the same precursors. Complexes of an earth abundant metal, cobalt, with several commercially available chiral bisphosphine ligands with narrow bite angles catalyze [4+2]-cycloadditions with excellent chemo-, regio- and enantioselectivities. In contrast, complex of a finely tuned phosphino-oxazoline ligand promotes unique [2+2]-cycloaddition between the alkyne and the terminal double bond of the diene giving a highly functionalized cyclobutene with excellent regio- and enantioselectivities.

Summary: Using modern methods of quantum chemistry, a theoretical substantiation of the high cis-stereospecificity of 1,3-butadiene polymerization catalyzed by the neodymium-based Ziegler-Natta system was carried out. Through analyzing the energy and activation energy of the simulated catalytically active centers, it was found that the lower activation energy of cis-1,3-butadiene insertion contributed to the high cis-stereospecificity.

Summary: New cobalt dichloride complexes with pyridyl-phosphine bidentate ligands were synthesized and characterized. Their molecular structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The complexes were used in the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene with methylaluminoxane (MAO), resulting in predominantly cis-1,4 polymers or mixed cis-1,4/1,2 structures depending on the ligand and MAO/Co molar ratio. A plausible interpretation for this behavior is provided.

Summary: This study computationally investigates the origin of chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity in cross metathesis reactions leading to the desired product. By comparing the relative stabilities of intermediates and products, as well as transition states, the probability for each pathway is linked. The transition states in each reaction play a crucial role in tuning the regio- and stereoselectivity by defining the energy barriers needed to form the final product. The research findings provide valuable insights for understanding the selectivity in new olefin metathesis reactions and a web-server is developed to support future predictive catalysis.

Summary: The high performance of perovskite solar cells was achieved by using an electron transport layer (ETL) and hole transport layer. A film ETL (mesoporous (meso)-TiO2/carbon dot) was found to enhance the efficiency of the perovskite solar cells. Coating carbon dot on a meso-TiO2 ETL was shown to reduce pin-holes in the perovskite film layer, resulting in a 3% increase in the average power conversion efficiency (PCE). The absorption properties of the meso-TiO2/carbon dot ETL were superior, leading to higher power conversion efficiency compared to meso-TiO2 ETL. The deposition of carbon dot on meso-TiO2 ETL reduced carrier recombination and perovskite film cracks, thereby improving device performance.

Summary: In the past decade, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been used to investigate the mechanism of electrochemical CO2 reduction reactions. However, the lack of understanding regarding CO2 chemisorption states, proton-coupled-electron-transfer (PCET) steps, and dynamic redox reactions of the electrode surface has limited the reliability of these simulations. This work proposes a descriptor, the energy difference between *COOH on neutral and extra-electron substrates, as a means to determine the selectivity of electrochemical CO2 reduction.

Summary: Alkylation of a nitride ligand of a post-modified Mo(V) complex with MeOTf and EtOTf resulted in the formation of highly stable Mo(IV) imido complexes. Unlike the known Mo(VI) nitride complexes, which can be deprotonated to form ketimide for further reactions, the alkylation products in this study could only be reduced by NaH. Treatment with PhCH2OTf led to the formation of a new dinuclear Mo complex with N-2 release, instead of benzylation of the nitride ligand.

Summary: This review introduces X-ray detectors using various halide perovskite materials and discusses their performance. Single-crystal perovskite as an active material exhibits excellent performance under X-ray illumination, while inorganic perovskite shows good environmental stability and high X-ray sensitivity. Double perovskite with the introduction of high-atomic-numbered elements demonstrates better attenuation of X-rays, and lead-free perovskite exhibits potential application in X-ray detectors due to its high X-ray attenuation capability. The up-scaling process technology for fabricating large-area and thick perovskite films for X-ray detectors is also introduced.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
