Article Abstract
Iron photocatalysis has emerged as a sustainable platform for C-H functionalization. This study describes a photocatalytic strategy for the selective defluorinative functionalization of polyfluorinated aromatics. The developed methodology enables selective defluorosulfonylation with sulfur dioxide and defluorinative alkylation with alkanes under visible light irradiation. Additionally, direct defluorinative functionalization with carboxylic acids has been achieved. These protocols demonstrate excellent site-selectivity and broad substrate scope, tolerating diverse functional groups, including cyano, acetyl, ester, and trifluoromethyl substituents. Notably, the methodology is compatible with drug-like molecules containing complex structures, thereby expanding the synthetic utility of iron photocatalysis in the construction of complex polyfluorinated molecules.

Nucleophilic substitution reaction (SR) plays a crucial role in traditional organic chemistry, and its extension into two dimensional (2D) materials has recently created a series of functional materials and advanced applications. However, the traditional SR process is usually indiscriminately copied into existing 2D reaction systems, which tremendously restricts the development of special 2D functional materials and sophisticated applications. In this work, a brand-new spin-active polarons-induced SR process in typical 2D fluorographene (FG) is proposed, where nucleophiles preferentially attack particular oxygen groups for functional grafting, simultaneously inducing the generation of spin-active polarons and subsequently rapid defluorination on the FG nanosheet.

In this study, a novel riboflavin-mediated nanoscale zero-valent iron/peracetic acid system (RF/nZVI/PAA) was constructed to increase the removal of norfloxacin. Under the optimal conditions (PAA=10 mg/L, nZVI=20 mg/L, RF= 1 mg/L, and initial pH =4), complete norfloxacin removal was achieved within 30 min, accompanied by a 70 % mineralization rate. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy combined with quenching experiments quantitatively identified hydroxyl radical, carbon-centered radical, and singlet oxygen as the predominant reactive oxidative species (ROS) responsible for norfloxacin removal, with contributions of 42 %, 44 %, and 10 %, respectively.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a typical per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFASs) known for its extreme persistence and bioaccumulative toxicity, continues to pose ecological risks despite global production restrictions. Existing removal methods face challenges like low degradation and defluorination rates. This study employed a dielectric barrier discharge plasma (DBD-plasma) method with oxygen-vacancy-rich BiO as a bifunctional catalyst, achieving efficient removal of PFOS while functioning as a dielectric barrier.

-vinyl azoles are prevalent moieties in pharmaceuticals, and fluorovinyl groups are widely recognized as carbonyl bioisosteres in drug design. Thus, -fluorovinylated heteroarenes represent highly desirable functional groups in medicinal chemistry. To streamline the development of novel -fluorovinylation and -pentafluoropropenylation reactions, herein we safely handle fluorinated gases, such as vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and hexafluoropropene (HFP), as solid reagents using a metal-organic framework (MOF), Mg(dobdc) (dobdc = 2,5-dioxidobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate).
