Summary: By fine-tuning the coordination environment, a Co-N5-O-C catalyst with highly coordinated Co-N5 moieties and nearby electro-withdrawing epoxides was developed for efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This catalyst achieved optimal binding energy of *OOH intermediate, resulting in ultrahigh mass activity of 87.5 A g-1 and high H2O2 production rate of 11.3 mol g-1 h-1. It also enabled 100% degradation of organic methylene blue pollutant within 15 minutes through the electro-Fenton process, providing a new direction for on-site H2O2 synthesis and wastewater treatment.

Summary: In-depth understanding of the electrolyte-dependent intercalation chemistry in batteries is crucial for high-performance battery development. This study investigated the effect of electrolyte coordination structure on intercalation processes in the Al/graphite battery using operando XPS and X-ray diffraction. The weaker anion-cation interaction in the HMI-based electrolyte led to a lower atomic ratio of co-intercalated N to intercalated Al, resulting in lower ionic diffusion rate, capacity, and cycling performance. These findings emphasize the critical role of electrolyte coordination structure in (co-)intercalation chemistry.

Summary: In this study, allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) was prepared as a dry powder inhalation using cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (CD-MOF) to enhance pulmonary delivery. Gamma-CD-MOF had more advantages in AITC loading compared to beta-CD-MOF, and gamma-CD-MOF-AITC showed appropriate particle size for lung inhalation and high release rate. It also exhibited good pulmonary local tolerance, permeability, and no significant toxicity, indicating its potential as a carrier for safely delivering AITC to the lung and increasing its pulmonary absorption.

Summary: A barrier for biological applications of DNA structures is their instability to nucleases. This study explores the use of UV-mediated thymine dimerization to crosslink and stabilize DNA nanostructures. The researchers compare different methods of DNA irradiation and show that all approaches can achieve nuclease protection, but with varying levels of off-target crosslinking and damage. They also demonstrate a mild irradiation condition that enhances serum stability while maintaining DNA function. This methodology has potential applications in nucleic acid therapy and nanotechnology.

Summary: The interaction between ((BDI)-B-tBu)Zn2+ and various arenes and halobenzenes was studied, revealing differences in bonding with Mg2+. While Mg2+ shows more electrostatic bonding, Zn2+ exhibits shorter contacts and a different interaction with PhF. Additionally, Zn2+ displays varying interactions with different halobenzenes due to the alpha-hole effect. The weaker Zn···XPh bonding observed is believed to play a role in the functionalization of organohalides by Zn reagents.

Summary: The oxidative addition of bromine or iodine to an Ir(I) sulfoxide pincer complex leads to the formation of Ir(IV) tris-bromido or tris-iodido complexes, respectively. The reductive elimination of iodine from the Ir(IV)-iodido complex can be achieved without any traps by coordinating ligands or donor solvents. The addition of I- results in the quick generation of an isostructural tris-iodo Ir(III)-ate complex, which can be easily reoxidized back to the Ir(IV)-iodido complex.

Summary: DFT calculations predict the thermodynamic stability of a low-valent complex (BDI)Mg-Ca(BDI) with bulky beta-diketiminate (BDI) ligands. Attempts to isolate this complex by salt-metathesis reactions were successful, leading to C-H activation of benzene and the formation of related heterobimetallic compounds. These findings have important implications for the understanding of the activation and decomposition of low-valent complexes.

Summary: The inversion barriers Delta G double dagger for planar chiral phosphine-alkene and sulfonamide-alkene hybrid ligands based on phenyl-dibenz-[b,f]-azepine have been determined by density-functional theory calculations. Analysis of the structural and electronic characteristics of the minima and transition states explains the magnitudes of Delta G double dagger and the geometrical changes during the inversion process. The steric repulsion caused by bulky substituents attached to the azepine nitrogen atom has a pronounced effect on the Delta G double dagger value, explaining the stereochemical stability of the ligands.

Summary: Magnesium Grignard reagents, with their high polarity and reactivity, have been essential tools for organic chemists for over a century. Despite attempts to explore similar reagents using the neighbouring group 2 metal, calcium, the higher polarity and reactivity of the Ca-C bond has led to undesired decomposition pathways. However, recent research has provided new methods to access highly reactive organocalcium species, including in situ preparation and ball milling approaches. Heavier alkaline-earth metal Grignard reagents have the potential for unique chemical transformations and may have a bright future in the field of alkaline-earth metal-mediated catalysis.

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.
