Article Abstract
Donor-acceptor (D-A) compounds are particularly important in optoelectronic and biological applications. However, they are normally synthesized in the presence of transition metal catalysts. Herein, we report a metal-free method by a complex-mediated nucleophilic aromatic substitution of aryl nitriles with amines. The method can lead to rich D-A type aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) with tunable properties. They emit from deep-blue to yellow-green and possess high photoluminescence quantum yields up to 70.5% in the aggregate state. Interestingly, the suppression of intramolecular flapping is proved to play an indispensable role in the AIE behavior, which is different from the mechanism met in other AIEgens. Moreover, the biocompatible AIEgens possess specific staining of lipid droplets in HeLa cells and the superiority of identifying fatty liver over traditional Oil Red O staining is exhibited.

Chemical recycling of polymers to the corresponding monomers offers a valuable solution to address the current plastics crisis for creating an ideal and circular polymer economy. Here, we present a bimetallic synergistic depolymerization of the widely studied CO-based polycarbonates, poly(cyclohexene carbonate)s, to epoxide monomers efficiently. The bimetallic Cr-complex-mediated highly selective depolymerization and repolymerization was achieved via the regulation of reaction temperature, thus closing the circular loop of poly(cyclohexene carbonate)s .

A mild electron donor-acceptor complex-mediated approach for the synthesis of -acyl--hemiacetals has been reported. The key feature of this protocol is that it allows for direct access to electrophilic -acylimines at room temperature without prefunctionalization of the hydroxyl group. The generated -acylimine can react with different nucleophiles, viz.

Central-atom effects on bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S 2) reactions are well-known in chemistry, however, the atomic-level S 2 dynamics at phosphorous (P) centers has never been studied. We investigate the dynamics of the F +PH Cl reaction with the quasi-classical trajectory method on a novel full-dimensional analytical potential energy surface fitted on high-level ab initio data. Our computations reveal intermediate dynamics compared to the F +CH Cl and the F +NH Cl S 2 reactions: phosphorus as central atom leads to a more indirect S 2 reaction with extensive complex-formation with respect to the carbon-centered one, however, the title reaction is more direct than its N-centered pair.

Kopsia alkaloids represent a complex class of natural products bearing a polycyclic ring system with two or three consecutive quaternary carbon centers. In this article, we report the first total synthesis of Kopsaporine related alkaloids. Features of our structure-unit-based strategy are an intramolecular Pummerer rearrangement induced nucleophilic cyclization/aza-Prins cyclization to construct the highly functional hexahydrocarbazole skeleton, an olefin migration vinylogous alkylation to establish the C20 all-carbon quaternary center, an iridium complex mediated radical addition to fuse the aspidofractine framework, an unprecedented IBX oxidation to introduce the α-hydroxyketone moiety, and a bioinspired retro-Aldol/Aldol reaction to convert kopsaporine to kopsiloscine A.
