A vicinal annulation of 2-iodobenzoates, indoles, and carbazoles with 1,6-enynes is described. The relay involved 7-/8-membered palladacycles, leading to multicyclic scaffolds, which were readily diversified to an array of adducts (with new functional tethers and/or three contiguous stereocenters), in which a challenging benzylic monooxygenation was...

The formation of benzothiazoles catalyzed by water is studied using both experimental and state-of-the-art computational methods. Free energy calculations from DFT-metadynamics suggest water as the sole catalyst at room temperature. The influence of different aliphatic and aromatic substituents with varying electronic properties on the chemical reactivity...

Click and release reaction between pyrone/pyranthiones and bicyclononyne (BCN), features a release of CO2/COS with second-order rate constants comparable to Strain-Promoted Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition reactions (SPAACs) for tunable H2S delivery and imaging in living cells. Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), one of the most important gasotransmitters,...

Organic-inorganic hybrid multifunctional materials have shown significant application in lighting and sensor fields, owing to their prominent performance and diversity structures. Herein, we synthesized two multifunctional compounds: (propyl-quinuclidone)2CdBr4 (1) and (F-butyl-quinuclidone)2CdBr4 (2). By introducing light-emitting organic cation with...

In this concept, we showcase the upsurge in the studies of dynamic ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials containing inorganic and/or organic components as versatile photo-responsive platforms. The goal is to provide a comprehensive analysis of photo-controllable RTP, and meanwhile delve into the underlying RTP properties of various...

Bis(carbazolide) complexes M[3,6-tBu2-1,8-(RC≡C)2Carb]2(THF)n (R = SiMe3, n = 0, M = Ca, Yb; R = Ph, n = 1, M = Ca, Yb; n = 0, M = Yb) were synthesized through transamination reaction of M[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2 with two molar equivalents of carbazoles. The complexes feature M(η2-C≡C)4 structural motif composed of M(II) ions encapsulated by four acetylene...
