Article Abstract
Sterically hindered organogels are promising as coatings, adhesives and structural materials since they can overcome the low strength and poor stability of traditional gel materials. However, limited by the mesh size of the polymer network, it is a significant challenge to entrap small solvents to preparing sterically hindered organogels. Herein, a hypercrosslinked polyurea network with small mesh size (~1.17 nm) is designed for capturing small-sized bio-based acetyl tributyl citrate molecules (~1.25 nm). The rational combination makes the system demonstrate low viscosity, high wettability, strong permeation, and fast curing. They can instantly form mechanically robust polyurea organogels with environmental adaptability to various temperatures and water conditions, and stability against high pressures, high temperatures, and solvent immersion. Owing to these properties, the polyurea organogels show application prospects as a permeable coating for rusty steel, a strong adhesive to repair concrete, and reinforcement structural materials to manufacture low-carbon concrete.

Retaining the topology of the framework and the metal nodes while judiciously modifying the organic linker constituents presents an opportune avenue to systematically investigate the structure-activity relationship of coordination polymers (CPs). Herein, two functionalized Schiff base ligands, HL1a (1,2-cyclohexanediamine-,-bis(3--butyl-5--dicarboxybenzo--hydroxybenzyl)) and HL2a (1,2-diphenylethylenediamine-,-bis(3--butyl-5--diacarboxybenzo--hydroxybenzyl)), were designed and prepared. In the two ligands, the amine moiety connecting the Schiff base is either 1,2-diaminocyclohexane or the more sterically hindered diphenylethylenediamine, which directly influences the pore distribution in the subsequently synthesized crystalline materials.

Distortions in the local symmetry around Ln(III) ions in SMMs significantly impacts slow magnetic relaxation by introducing transverse crystal field parameters that enhance quantum tunnelling of the magnetisation (QTM). Minimising these distortions, often using macrocyclic or sterically hindered ligands, or by tuning intermolecular interactions, is essential for suppressing QTM. A less-explored strategy involves aligning the molecular symmetry elements within the crystal lattice to generate a high-symmetry crystal lattice with symmetry enforced bond angles and lengths.

Selective hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfural to furfuryl alcohol is fundamentally challenged by the dual adsorption of its reactive furan ring and carbonyl group on Pd catalysts, which drives nonselective pathways. To modulate the adsorption mode of furfural, we rationally incorporate carbon species onto Pd subnanoclusters encapsulated in a siliceous zeolite (Pd-C@S-1), achieving 98% selectivity for furfuryl alcohol at full furfural conversion, vastly outperforming the carbon-free Pd@S-1 (11.6% selectivity).

During the extraction of crude oil, water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions are mostly formed at a high pH, where water droplets can be stabilized by anionic asphaltene molecules on the surface. The study of driving forces in the electro-coalescence of these emulsions is fundamental to the efficient design of the oil dehydration process. We studied by molecular dynamics the electro-coalescence of two asphaltene-laden droplets suspended in -hexane as a model oil.

The total synthesis of compound 1, a chiral diglyceride metabolite present in both humans and fungi, was achieved via a seven-step route, affording the target molecule in 2.33% overall yield. The synthetic strategy involved: (1) selective protection of the terminal hydroxyl group of chiral ketal 2 with a sterically hindered benzyl group, followed by ketal deprotection to yield benzyl ether 4; (2) protection of the terminal hydroxyl group of benzyl ether 4 with a bulky silyl protecting group, and subsequent esterification of the remaining hydroxyl with erucic acid to generate ester 6; (3) removal of the silyl protecting group from ester 6, followed by esterification of the liberated hydroxyl group with pentadecanoic acid to afford ester 8; and (4) selective deprotection of the benzyl group of ester 8 to furnish compound 1.
