Article Abstract
The activation of ethers by weak interactions is a long-standing objective in supramolecular catalysis, but yet it remains an underdeveloped topic. The obstacles towards solving this problem are prominent since it is difficult for a weak interaction to cleave a relatively strong C-O σ-bond and moreover, the ionic intermediate composing of an alkoxide ion and an electrophilic carbocation would deactivate weak interaction donors. Herein, we describe a distinctive activation mode, dual Se···π and Se···O bonding, that could activate benzylic as well as allylic ether C-O σ-bonds to achieve cyclization, coupling and elimination reactions. This dual Se···π and Se···O bonding catalysis approach could tolerate various alkoxide leaving groups, while the other representative weak interaction donors showed no catalytic activity.

Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Collaborative methods are necessary to meet patient palliative care (PC) needs because of the inadequate supply of PC specialists.
Objective: This study aimed to conduct a needs assessment and determine primary care, emergency, and hospital physicians' general attitudes about primary PCs, confidence in managing common PC scenarios, and preferences for interaction with specialty PCs.
Design: A sequential mixed-methods study design was used, whereby individual qualitative interviews informed the content of a quantitative survey.

Unlabelled: Marine heterotrophic prokaryotes initially release extracellular enzymes to cleave large organic molecules and then take up ambient substrates via transporters. Given the direct influence of extracellular enzymes on nutrient availability, understanding their diversity and dynamics is crucial in comprehending microbial interactions and organic matter cycling in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, metagenomics was employed to investigate the functional diversity and dynamics of extracellular enzymes and transporters in coastal waters over a 22-day period.

While low pH (< 4) is generally considered stressful for plants, differential impacts of distinct acid types-organic versus inorganic, strong versus weak-on plant growth and development remain unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated the responses of two Brassicaceae species to organic (acetic) and inorganic (hydrochloric, sulfuric) acids at three pH levels (pH 2.

Solvent attenuation of dispersion interactions was quantified using a new class of rigid intramolecular CH-π molecular balances. These balances incorporate small, two-carbon CH donors that minimize solvophobic effects and isolate the dispersion component. Folding energies (Δ ) were measured across eight solvents: cyclohexane, toluene, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, acetonitrile, DMSO, and methanol.

The unit cell of the title compound, [Ni(CHNO)]·2CHOH, consists of a neutral complex and two methanol mol-ecules. In the complex, the two tridentate 2-[3-(benzo[][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-1-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl]-6-(1-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine ligands coordinate to the central Ni ion through nitro-gen atoms of the pyrazole, pyridine and triazole groups, forming a pseudo-octa-hedral coordination sphere. Neighbouring mol-ecules are linked through weak C-H(pz)⋯π(ph) inter-actions into monoperiodic chains, which are further linked through weak C-H⋯H/N/C inter-actions into diperiodic layers.
