Article Abstract
A novel vanadium-catalyzed one-pot domino reaction of 1,2-diketones with amidines has been identified that enables their transformation into imides and amides. The reaction proceeds by dual acylation of amidines via oxidative C(CO)-C(CO) bond cleavage of 1,2-diketones to afford N,N'-diaroyl-N-arylbenzamidine intermediates. In the reaction, these intermediates are easily hydrolyzed into imides and amides through vanadium catalysis. This method provides a practical, simple, and mild synthetic approach to access a variety of imides as well as amides in high yields. Moreover, one-step construction of imide and amide bonds with a long-chain alkyl group is an attractive feature of this protocol.

Organic aerogels are an advanced class of lightweight materials with ultralow thermal conductivity and high porosity, widely used in applications such as thermal insulation, energy storage, and aerospace engineering. Among them, polyimide aerogels stand out for their excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. However, their permanently cross-linked networks make them non-recyclable, posing a significant sustainability challenge.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) utilizing poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine (PTAA) as hole-transport materials (HTMs) in n-i-p structures are promising owing to their thermal stability. However, they suffer from the absence of perovskite passivation techniques suitably combined with PTAA HTMs. Herein, phenylalkylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imides (PRA-TFSIs) are presented as spontaneous perovskite passivators specifically tailored for PTAA HTMs.

This study reports the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel hybrid 1,2,4-triazole-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives using both classical and environmentally friendly synthetic routes. The synthetic strategy involved a multistep process starting with the preparation of triazolylthioacetic acid esters, followed by electrophilic cyclization-employing both conventional bromine and a green, bromine-free method-and culminating in amidation reactions to yield the target compounds. Structural modifications, including the incorporation of pyridinyl and benzoate moieties, were introduced to enhance biological activity.

Thiazide-type and thiazide-like diuretics are structurally distinct first-line antihypertensive drugs that target the sodium-chloride cotransporter (NCC) in the kidney. Thiazide-like diuretics are reported to have better cardioprotective effects than thiazide-type diuretics, but whether this is due to differences in NCC-inhibition mechanisms, if there is any, remains unclear. To understand the molecular mechanisms of NCC inhibition by thiazide-like diuretics, we determine the structures of human NCC (hNCC) bound to two of the most widely used thiazide-like diuretics, chlorthalidone and indapamide, using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM).

Biomacromolecules hold promise as sustainable fillers to address the challenges of low ionic conductivity and interfacial instability in polymer electrolytes, yet their structural complexity obscures in-depth mechanistic understanding. Herein, small biomolecules are strategically incorporated, which retain the key functional groups of biomacromolecules, as highly effective fillers for polymer electrolytes. Orotic acid (OA), a small-molecule building block of ribonucleic acid, enhances lithium (Li) ion conductivity by facilitating the dissociation of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide without compromising the crystallinity of the polyethylene oxide (PEO) matrix.
