Thermally Responsive Selenide-containing Materials Based on Transalkylation of Selenonium Salts

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs) possess unique properties as a result of their internal dynamic bonds, such as self-healing and reprocessing abilities. In this study, we report a thermally responsive C−Se dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) that relies on the transalkylation exchange between selenonium salts and selenides, which undergo a fast transalkylation reaction in the absence of any catalyst. Additionally, we demonstrate the presence of a dissociative mechanism in the absence of selenide groups. After incorporation of this DCC into selenide-containing polymer materials, it was observed that the cross-linked networks display varying dynamic exchange rates when using different alkylation reagents, suggesting that the reprocessing capacity of selenide-containing materials can be regulated. Also, by incorporating selenonium salts into polymer materials, we observed that the materials exhibited good healing ability at elevated temperatures as well as excellent solvent resistance at ambient temperature. This novel dynamic covalent chemistry thus provides a straightforward method for the healing and reprocessing of selenide-containing materials.     

Engineering Graphdiyne for Solar Photocatalysis

Graphdiyne (GDY) with a direct band gap, excellent carrier mobility and uniform pores, is regarded as a promising photocatalytic material for solar energy conversion, while the research on GDY in photocatalysis is a less developed field. Herein, the distinctive structure, adjustable band gap, and electronic properties of GDY for photocatalysis is firstly summarized. The construction and progress of GDY-based photocatalysts for solar energy conversion, including H₂ evolution reaction (HER), CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) and N₂ reduction reaction (NRR) are then elaborated. At last, the challenges and perspectives in developing GDY-based photocatalysts for solar fuel production are discussed. It is anticipated that a timely Minireview will be helpful for rapid progress of GDY in solar energy conversion.     

Evoking Ferroptosis by Synergistic Enhancement of a Cyclopentadienyl Iridium-Betulin Immune Agonist

Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation (LPO) with the potential for antitumor immunity activation. In this study, a nonferrous cyclopentadienyl metal-based ferroptosis inducer [Ir(Cp*)(Bet)Cl]Cl ( Ir-Bet ) was developed by a metal-ligand synergistic enhancement (MLSE) strategy involving the reaction of [Ir(Cp*)Cl]₂Cl₂ with the natural product Betulin. The fusion of Betulin with iridium cyclopentadienyl (Ir-Cp*) species as Ir-Bet not only tremendously enhanced the antiproliferative activity toward cancer cells, but also activated ferritinophagy for iron homeostasis regulation by PI3K/Akt/mTOR cascade inhibition with a lower dosage of Betulin, and then evoked an immune response by nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) activation of Ir-Cp* species. Further immunogenic cell death (ICD) occurred by remarkable ferroptosis through glutathione (GSH) depletion, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) deactivation and ferritinophagy. An in vivo vaccination experiment demonstrated desirable antitumor and immunogenic effects of Ir-Bet by increasing the ratio of cytotoxic T cells (CTLs)/regulatory T cells (Tregs).     

Visible-Light-Driven Three-Component Reaction of Unactivated Alkenes Enables Access to Monofluoro γ-Amino Acids

A strategy for the synthesis of diverse protected α-monofluoro-γ-amino acid derivatives has been developed. This reaction assembles a simple enamide, quinoxalin-2(1H)-one, and diethyl 2-bromo-2-fluoromalonate through a three-component reaction driven by visible light. The advantages of this protocol include the simplicity of its operation, mild conditions, high functional group tolerance, and applicability to a wide variety of substrates. The synthesis of this fluorine-containing amino acid derivative has significant value for potential applications in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.     

Supercritical CO2-induced New Chemical Bond of C−O−Si in Graphdiyne to Achieve Robust Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism

The realization of ferromagnetic ordering of two-dimensional (2D) carbon material graphdiyne (GDY) has attracted great attention due to its promising application in spin semiconductor devices. However, the absence of localized spins makes the pristine GDY intrinsically nonferromagnetic. Herein, we report the realization of robust room-temperature (RT) ferromagnetism (FM) with Curie temperature (T_C) up to 325 K for GDY Nanosheets (GDYNs) by supercritical CO₂ (SC CO₂). Experimental and theoretical calculations reveal that the new chemical bond of C−O−Si can be formed because of the unique effect of SC CO₂, which help to enhance the charge transfer and generates long-range ferromagnetic order. The RT saturation magnetization (M_S) reaches 1.125 emu/g, which is much higher than that of carbon-based materials reported up to now. Meanwhile, by changing the conditions of SC CO₂ such as pressure, ferromagnetic responses can be manipulated, which is great for potential spintronics applications of GDY.     

Modular Synthesis of Triarylamines and Poly(triarylamine)s through a Radical Mechanism

A modular protocol for the triarylamine synthesis has been developed using diarylamines and electron-rich arenes, such as phenols, as the building blocks. The KI/KIO₄ system proves to be highly efficient for the cross-dehydrogenative coupling of phenothiazines/phenoxazines with phenols/anilines. A wide range of functional groups attached to both coupling partners were well tolerated. Through the manipulation of reaction temperatures, the sequential assembly of bis-triarylamines could be achieved to provide the unsymmetrically bis-aminated phenols efficiently. Furthermore, the multiple aminated polyphenols were rapidly constructed in good to high yields by a single operation.
