Summary: In this study, dirhodium(II) complexes were used as catalysts for the dehydrosilylation of vinylarenes with tertiary silanes, particularly alkoxysilanes. The catalytic method showed a broad substrate scope and good tolerance towards both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on the vinylarenes. Mechanistic studies suggested that a stable and rigid dirhodium(II) complex was formed with DPPP and P(OMe)3, acting as the active species for catalyzing the dehydrosilylation reaction. Control experiments supported the role of norbornene as the hydrogen acceptor in generating the key catalytic intermediate.

Summary: In this study, the researchers found that the heteroleptic Ir(iii) complex 1, combined with N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-proline and cesium carbonate, can facilitate the hydrodehalogenation of reductively inert aryl halides under blue light irradiation. The in situ modified Ir-int structure leads to a bathochromic shift of excited triplet state absorption and phosphorescence bands. Free Ir-int ions are responsible for the hydrodehalogenation reaction of aryl halides.

Summary: This research describes the diastereoselective 1,4-conjugate additions of anionic and radical C-nucleophiles to a chiral bicyclic dehydroalanine (Dha). Notably, radical carbon photolysis using a metal-free photocatalyst through a catalytic photoredox process provides exceptional yields and selectivities at room temperature. These 1,4-conjugate additions serve as an excellent starting point for synthesizing enantiomerically pure carbon-beta-substituted unnatural alpha-amino acids (UAAs), with potential applications in chemical biology.

Summary: This study investigates the catalytic activity of various zinc(II) complexes with a chelating nitrogen-donor ligand and different ancillary ligands (chloride ion, acetate ion, triflate ion) for the solvent-free coupling reaction of cyclohexene oxide and CO2. The results show that the complexes with triflate ion are active, allowing for the selective formation of polyether or cyclic carbonate controlled by the presence of a suitable amount of [PPN]Cl.

Summary: This research reports the synthesis and characterisation of several chiral aluminium compounds with oxazoline-containing beta-diketiminate type ligands. These chiral Lewis acid complexes, in combination with 1 equiv. of Na(BAr4Cl), were successfully used as catalysts in asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions between 1,3-cyclohexadiene and various chalcones. Increasing the steric demand of the ligands' achiral end resulted in improved enantioinduction for the cyclisation of 1,3-cyclohexadiene and chalcone. Furthermore, modifying the chiral end by introducing a tert-butyl group to the stereogenic center of the oxazoline fragment yielded the highest enantioselectivity value. The substrate scope was expanded to include several different dienophiles, generating enantiomeric excess values ranging from 24-68%.

Summary: The chalcogen bond (ChB) is a noncovalent attraction between an electrophilic chalcogen atom and a nucleophilic region. It is similar to hydrogen and halogen bonds in terms of strengths and directionality. However, chalcogen atoms can have multiple electrophilic centers, which provides more opportunities for use in synthetic operations.

Summary: This article investigates the efficiency of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) in detecting heavy metal ions such as Pb2+, Hg2+, and Cd2+. By optimizing conditions, MOFs composite materials and membranes can achieve ultra-sensitive detection of Pb2+ ions (LOD in pmol/L), which is their main advantage. However, the low working potential of MOFs requires the development of MOFs membrane composite materials for highly efficient detection of toxic Pb2+ ions. Therefore, this review summarizes their advantages, limitations, and future directions.

Summary: In contrast to V(v) complexes with various organic ligands, a simple vanadate without any additive is inactive in neutral medium toward the oxidation of alkanes with H2O2. In this work, we discovered that the insufficient activation of H2O2 upon coordination to the simple vanadate - the commonly accepted reason for the low catalytic activity of the vanadate - cannot explain this phenomenon.

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.
