Article Abstract
The production of atomically dispersed metal catalysts remains a significant challenge in the field of heterogeneous catalysis due to coexistence with continuously packed sites such as nanoclusters and nanoparticles. This work presents a comprehensive guidance on how to increase the degree of atomization through a selection of appropriate experimental conditions and supports. It is based on a rigorous macro-kinetic theory that captures relevant competing processes of nucleation and formation of single atoms stabilized by point defects. The effects of metal-support interactions and deposition parameters on the resulting single atom to nanocluster ratio as well as the role of metal centers formed on point defects in the kinetics of nucleation have been established, thus paving the way to guided synthesis of single atom catalysts. The predictions are supported by experimental results on sputter deposition of Pt on exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride, as imaged by aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy.

The ability to slow down light at the single-photon level has applications in quantum information processing and other quantum technologies. We demonstrate two methods, both using just a single artificial atom, enabling dynamic control over microwave light velocities in waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED). Our methods are based on two distinct mechanisms harnessing the balance between radiative decay and nonradiative decoherence rates of a superconducting artificial atom in front of a mirror.

A series of Cu-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) with asymmetric coordination were designed to accelerate lithium-sulfur (Li-S) chemistry. The electronegativity contrast from the dopant induces a localized electronic asymmetry that amplifies Jahn-Teller distortion at the Cu center. This distortion profoundly modulates the Cu 3d electronic structure and its interaction with Li-S intermediates.

Herein, we report a highly efficient, environmentally benign protocol for the domino synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted and 4-substituted quinoline molecules. The developed strategy involves an earth-abundant Fe-catalyzed C(sp)-C(sp) bond cleavage of styrene, followed by the hydroamination of the cleaved synthons with arylamines and subsequent C-H annulation to yield two valuable quinoline derivatives. Key features of this protocol include the use of O as an ideal, green oxidant, operational simplicity and scalability, high atom- and step-economy, and cost-effectiveness, collectively enabling the single-step synthesis of two medicinally relevant N-heterocycles in excellent combined yields.

In single crystals of C-N atropisomeric -(2-halophenyl)quinolin-2-one and the thione analogue, a unique association based on a halogen-π interaction was detected. In racemic and optically pure -(2-bromo- or 2-chlorophenyl)quinolin-2-ones, homochiral layered polymers, which consist of ()- or ()-atropisomers, were formed through intermolecular halogen-π association. The halogen-π association in the racemates is due to a halogen bond (C-X···π) between a σ-hole on the halogen atom and a π-electron on the quinolinone benzene ring, while that in optically pure forms is caused by an n-π* interaction between a lone electron pair on the halogen atom and a π* orbital of the quinolinone.

We report the observation of negative differential resistance (NDR) in single-atom single-electron devices based on arsenic, phosphorus and potassium dopants implanted in a silicon host matrix. All devices exhibit NDR, with the potassium-based one exhibiting NDR at room temperature because of the larger charging and confinement energies. Our experimental results are reproduced with a simple model that assumes sequential electron tunnelling through two series-connected charge centres, each having two discrete energy levels.
