Driven by our recent medicinal chemistry research, we have investigated the coupling reaction between aliphatic -hydroxyphthalimide esters and terminal 2-trifluoromethylalkenes. This reaction was driven by the photochemical activity of the electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex. The reaction's efficiency hinges on the olefin's electronic effect, with electron-withdrawing groups yielding much better results. Furthermore, this reaction is also applicable to trifluoromethyl alkyl alkenes, enabling the synthesis of target products in moderate yields. By employing this method, we successfully synthesized a series of bioactive molecules, among which compounds 3k, 3l and 3m demonstrated robust antitumor activity against both A549 and SK-hep-1 cancer cell lines.

A virtually no-cost method is proposed that can compute the correlation energies of general, covalently bonded, organic, and inorganic molecules (including conjugated π-electron systems) with a well-defined dominant Lewis structure at the accuracy of 99.5% of the near-exact values determined by the coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] in the complete-basis-set (CBS) limit. This Correlation Energy Per Bond (CEPB) method assigns a partial correlation energy to each bond type (characterized by the identities of the two atoms forming the bond and its integer bond order) and to a lone pair, regardless of the bond length, bond angle, sp-hybridization, π-electron conjugation, ionicity, noncovalent interactions, etc.

Photocatalytic seawater splitting (PSWS), which utilizes abundant solar and ocean resources, is one of the most promising technologies for sustainable hydrogen production. However, the complex composition of seawater significantly limits the durability and activity of photocatalysts. In this review, we first identify the primary factors that contribute to photocatalyst deactivation during PSWS, including chloride induced corrosion and loss of active sites, and light shielding caused by precipitation of metal cation salts.

In this paper, a phosphate buffer (0.10 M, pH 7.5)--hexadecane bicontinuous microemulsion (BME) stabilized by the nonionic surfactant CE was for the first time used as the medium to investigate its effect on the electrochemical behavior of the cobaltocene redox couple ( (III)/ (II)) as electron mediator and the -mediated electroreduction of coenzyme NAD.

A novel copper-catalyzed radical cross-coupling reaction for the thioesterification of polyfluoroarenes is developed using KS and aldehydes in water. This protocol employs a readily available KS as a sulfur source, eliminating the need for hazardous thiols and organic solvents. The mild reaction conditions are compatible with a wide range of functional groups, providing access to diverse polyfluoroaryl thioesters.

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.
