Pyrazinoindole-based Lewis-acid/base assemblies are prepared through the use of regioselective formal [3 + 3] cycloaddition reactions, and their intriguing photophysical properties are described. The assemblies exhibit strong emissions in THF solution, which are attributed to through-space intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) transitions between the branched Lewis-acid/base moieties. Furthermore, these show ratiometric color-change responses in PL titration experiments, which give rise to new colors through turn-on emissions ascribable to ICT transitions that alternate between the pyrazinoindole units and each triarylboryl or amino moiety, a consequence of the binding of the fluoride or acid. Pieces of filter paper covered by these assemblies exhibited blue-shifted color changes when immersed in aqueous acidic solutions, suggesting that these are promising candidate indicators that detect acid through emissive color. Computational data for these assemblies and their corresponding adducts verify the existence of ICT transitions that alternate through fluoride or acid binding.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have emerged as the most promising candidate for next-generation high-energy-density energy storage systems. However, their practical implementation is hindered by the inability of conventional carbonate electrolytes to simultaneously stabilize the lithium metal anode and LiNiCoMnO (NCM811) cathode interfaces, particularly under extreme operating conditions. Herein, we present a transformative molecular design using 3,5-difluorophenylboronic acid neopentyl glycol ester (DNE), which uniquely integrates dual interfacial stabilization mechanisms in a single molecule.

The rapid increase of electronic waste, particularly battery waste, presents significant environmental challenges such as pollutant emissions and resource depletion, emphasizing the need for effective valorization and reuse strategies. This study introduces a novel approach for repurposing end-of-life lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries as catalysts in the pyrolysis of walnut shells (WS). Characterization analyses revealed that LFP provides both Lewis and Brønsted acid sites, which alter the thermal decomposition pathway of WS.

Antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) are increasingly subject to global regulatory restrictions and consumer pressure, driving the poultry industry toward antibiotic-free production systems. This shift has accelerated the search for effective alternatives, including innovative microbial additives, organic acids, phytogenics, and other bioactive compounds capable of supporting digestive function and enhancing immune competence in poultry. The present study reported the isolation and characterization of a novel Bacillus velezensis strain, BV-OLS1101, possessing robust probiotic attributes and a distinctive capacity to produce a serine protease subtilisin.

These drugs inhibit the synthesis and release of prostaglandins (PGs) in the neurons of the anterior hypothalamus and exert therapeutic effects as a consequence. However, these drugs are relatively commonly misused and abused, often owing to a lack of proper medication guidance.

Fluoride ion batteries (FIBs), as a promising next-generation high-energy-density storage technology, have attracted significant attention. However, developing an ideal fluoride-ion electrolyte that suppresses the β-H abstraction (caused by strong Lewis-basicity F) and electrolyte decomposition remains challenging. To address this bottleneck, we design an electrolyte system based on commercial tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) salt and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMImBF) ionic liquid solvent through anion-cation coordination engineering and hard-soft-acid-base (HSAB) balance modulation, unveiling its multiscale mechanisms for mitigating interfacial parasitic reaction and enhancing metal anode stability.
