Summary: In this study, an n-n type heterojunction with Cu-N and B-N dual active sites was synthesized by in situ growth of a conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) [Cu-3(HITP)(2)] on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets. The optimized Cu-3(HITP)(2)@h-BN exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction performance with NH3 production of 146.2 μg/h mg(cat) and a Faraday efficiency of 42.5% due to its high porosity, abundant oxygen vacancies, and Cu-N/B-N dual active sites. The construction of the n-n heterojunction efficiently modulated the state density of active metal sites, facilitating charge transfer at the catalyst-reactant interface. Additionally, the NH3 production pathway catalyzed by the Cu-3(HITP)(2)@h-BN heterojunction was elucidated by in situ FT-IR spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. This work presents an alternative approach to designing advanced electrocatalysts based on conductive MOFs.

Summary: This study presents the design and synthesis of sulfated disaccharide inhibitors based on IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S), which showed potent inhibition of Sulf-2. The results suggest that IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S) is the shortest fragment size required for effective inhibition of Sulfs, and a trisulfated disaccharide is identified as the minimal fragment size of heparan sulfate for effective endosulfatase inhibition.

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.
