A 3D 12‐Ring Zeolite with Ordered 4‐Ring Vacancies Occupied by (H2O)2 Dimers

A germanate zeolite, PKU‐14, with a three‐ dimensional large‐pore channel system was structurally characterized by a combination of high‐resolution powder X‐ray diffraction, rotation electron diffraction, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. Ordered Ge₄O₄ vacancies inside the [4⁶.6¹²] cages has been found in PKU‐14, in which a unique (H₂O)₂ dimer was located at the vacancies and played a structure‐directing role. It is the first time that water clusters are found to be templates for ordered framework vacancies.     

meso‐Ester and Carboxylic Acid Substituted BODIPYs with Far‐Red and Near‐Infrared Emission for Bioimaging Applications

A series of meso‐ester‐substituted BODIPY derivatives 1–6 are synthesized and characterized. In particular, dyes functionalized with oligo(ethylene glycol) ether styryl or naphthalene vinylene groups at the α positions of the BODIPY core ( 3 – 6 ) become partially soluble in water, and their absorptions and emissions are located in the far‐red or near‐infrared region. Three synthetic approaches are attempted to access the meso‐carboxylic acid (COOH)‐substituted BODIPYs 7 and 8 from the meso‐ester‐substituted BODIPYs. Two feasible synthetic routes are developed successfully, including one short route with only three steps. The meso‐COOH‐substituted BODIPY 7 is completely soluble in pure water, and its fluorescence maximum reaches around 650 nm with a fluorescence quantum yield of up to 15 %. Time‐dependent density functional theory calculations are conducted to understand the structure–optical properties relationship, and it is revealed that the Stokes shift is dependent mainly on the geometric change from the ground state to the first excited singlet state. Furthermore, cell staining tests demonstrate that the meso‐ester‐substituted BODIPYs ( 1 and 3 – 6 ) and one of the meso‐COOH‐substituted BODIPYs ( 8 ) are very membrane‐permeable. These features make these meso‐ester‐ and meso‐COOH‐substituted BODIPY dyes attractive for bioimaging and biolabeling applications in living cells.     

Photochemically Engineering the Metal–Semiconductor Interface for Room‐Temperature Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes with Formic Acid

A mild photochemical approach was applied to construct highly coupled metal–semiconductor dyads, which were found to efficiently facilitate the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene. Aniline was produced in excellent yield (>99 %, TOF: 1183) using formic acid as hydrogen source and water as solvent at room temperature. This general and green catalytic process is applicable to a wide range of nitroarenes without the involvement of high‐pressure gases or sacrificial additives.     

Cube‐in‐Cube Hollow Cu9S5 Nanostructures with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activities in Solar H2 Evolution

Hydrogen produced from water under solar energy is an ideal clean energy source, and the efficiency of hydrogen production usually depends on the catalytic systems based on new compounds and/or a unique nanostructure. Herein, well‐defined cube‐in‐cube hollow Cu₉S₅ nanostructures have been successfully prepared with Cu₂O nanocubes and CS₂ as precursors, and single‐shell hollow Cu₉S₅ nanocubes could be obtained by replacing CS₂ with Na₂S. The formation mechanism of cube‐in‐cube hollow nanostructures has been proposed based on the Kirkendell effect and an outward self‐assembly process. Further studies revealed that the cube‐in‐cube hollow Cu₉S₅ nanostructures exhibited better photocatalytic activity toward solar H₂ evolution and would be a promising photocatalyst in the solar hydrogen industry.     

Cerium‐Based M4L4 Tetrahedra as Molecular Flasks for Selective Reaction Prompting and Luminescent Reaction Tracing

The application of metal–organic polyhedra as “molecular flasks” has precipitated a surge of interest in the reactivity and property of molecules within well‐defined spaces. Inspired by the structures of the natural enzymatic pockets, three metal–organic neutral molecular tetrahedral, Ce‐TTS, Ce‐TNS and Ce‐TBS (H₆TTS: N′,N′′,N′′′‐nitrilotris‐4,4′,4′′‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐benzohydrazide; H₆TNS: N′,N′′,N′′′‐nitrilotris‐6,6′,6′′‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐2‐naphthohydrazide; H₆TBS: 1,3,5‐ phenyltris ‐4,4′,4′′‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide), which exhibit different size of the edges and cavities, were achieved through self‐assembly by incorporating robust amide‐containing tridentate chelating sites into the fragments of the ligands. They acted as molecular flasks to prompt the cyanosilylation of aldehydes with excellent selectivity towards the substrates size. The amide groups worked as trigger sites and catalytic driven forces to achieve efficient guest interactions, enforcing the substrates proximity within the cavity. Experiments on catalysts with the different cavity radii and substrates with the different molecular size demonstrated that the catalytic performance exhibited enzymatical catalytic mechanism and occurred in the molecular flask. These amides were also able to amplify guest‐bonding events into the measurable outputs for the detection of concentration variations of the substrates, providing the possibility for metal–organic hosts to work as smart molecular flasks for the luminescent tracing of catalytic reactions.     

Efficient Copper‐Catalyzed Direct Intramolecular Aminotrifluoromethylation of Unactivated Alkenes with Diverse Nitrogen‐Based Nucleophiles

A mild, convenient, and step‐economical intramolecular aminotrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes with a variety of electronically distinct, nitrogen‐based nucleophiles in the presence of a simple copper salt catalyst, in the absence of extra ligands, is described. Many different nitrogen‐based nucleophiles (e.g., basic primary aliphatic and aromatic amines, sulfonamides, carbamates, and ureas) can be employed in this new aminotrifluoromethylation reaction. The aminotrifluoromethylation process allows straightforward access to diversely substituted CF₃‐containing pyrrolidines or indolines, in good to excellent yields, through a direct difunctionalization strategy from the respective acyclic starting materials. Mechanistic studies were conducted and a plausible mechanism was proposed.     

Copper‐Catalyzed One‐Pot Denitrogenative–Dehydrogenative–Decarboxylative Coupling of β‐Ketoacids with Trifluorodiazoethane: Facile Access to Trifluoromethylated Aldol Products

A novel copper‐catalyzed one‐pot cross‐coupling of β‐ketoacids with in situ generated trifluorodiazoethane has been developed. This reaction provides a direct and efficient method, in which one C?C bond and one C?O bond were formed in a carbenoid center with concomitant denitrogenation–dehydrogenation–decarboxylation, to afford trifluoromethylated aldol products. In several preliminary experiments, good to high enantioselectivities were also obtained.
