The bases have the function of proton-shuttle, assisting the transfer of H1 (H2) from C4 (C4) to C1 (O1) by the four-step proton-transfer strategy. More importantly, the differences of base strength are revealed to be the primary factor that determines the catalytic activities of MTBD, TMG, and DMAP, and the order of catalytic activity is MTBD > TMG > DMAP, which does match with the increased trend of base strength MTBD > TMG > DMAP. Moreover, the selectivity of Ag(I)-catalyzed reaction is controlled via the intramolecular cyclization to selectively generate 5-exo-dig P1, which could be reasonably explained by the analysis of electronic interactions and bond lengths on the base of theoretical calculations.

The energy justice theory is applied to checkmate the activities of the energy sector through the energy chain to manage its adverse impact on the environment and communities. This is anchored on five principles of distributional, procedural, recognition, restorative, and cosmopolitan justice principles. These principles are equally advocated for in the human rights framework to ensure universal energy access for well-being and a healthy environment. Therefore, this article explores how these energy justice and human rights principles have converged in the energy sector to tackle energy poverty, environmental degradation, community rights violations, and accountability concerns. The aim being to establish an intersection between the justice of energy activities and fundamental rights across academic journals and policy materials. Thus, by utilising a method of systematic review, this article analyses research materials spanning from January 2000 to October 2024. To understand the evolution of the relationship between human rights and energy justice, reflecting shifts in priorities and responses to contemporary issues. In this review, we find that very few studies have begun analysing human rights violations of energy activities as an energy justice concern.

Most studies have employed chemical scavenging methods to measure radical yields. Although these techniques have undeniable advantages, such as probing early processes down to nanosecond time scale, and are easy to implement, they also have significant limitations. The main one is that they are not appropriate to longer time scales, especially the microsecond one, which is a key part of the homogeneous chemistry stage. Direct measurements of hydrated electron using pulsed ion beams are rare, especially with lighter particles such as protons used in radiotherapy, mainly due to instrumental complexity. This study addresses this gap by employing a dedicated time-resolved UV-visible absorption spectrometer coupled to a pulsed ion beam to measure transient hydrated electron radiolytic yield (<i>G</i>-value) in pure water, under both aerated and deaerated conditions. Pulsed radiolysis experiments were conducted at the Arronax cyclotron facility (Nantes, France) with a 68 MeV extracted H<sup>+</sup> ion beam under ultra-high-dose rate (UHDR) conditions. The pulsed proton beam provides a radiolytic yield at <i>t</i> = 2 μs as well as e<sup>-</sup><sub>aq</sub> formation and decay times.

Various thermodynamic properties of [C<sub>2</sub>mim]C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> and glycerol mixtures were investigated by using density and viscosity across a range of compositions and temperatures, while structural properties were explored by using temperature-dependent near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, two-dimensional (2D) correlation spectroscopy, and principal component analyses (PCA).
