While ternary strategies and sequential deposition (SqP) each offer unique benefits, their single-dimensional optimization often fails to balance efficient photon harvesting with ideal vertical phase separation. Herein, we report a multi-dimensional synergistic regulation strategy by incorporating polymer acceptor PYF-T-<i>o</i> into the SqP-processed PM6/eC9 system, where PYF-T-<i>o</i> establishes a cascade energy-level alignment and forms an alloy-like acceptor phase with eC9. This unique microstructure broadens spectral absorption, lowers the donor/acceptor surface energy difference, accelerates crystallization kinetics (reducing nucleation time by 60 ms), and refines phase separation. Consequently, the ternary devices exhibit balanced carrier mobilities, ultrafast charge extraction (0.197 μs), and prolonged carrier lifetime (4.54 μs), effectively suppressing trap-assisted recombination. The energetic disorder is reduced to 23.43 meV, minimizing non-radiative voltage loss from 0.218 eV to 0.205 eV. By utilizing a 2PACz self-assembled monolayer, the optimized device achieves a high power conversion efficiency of 20.23% and demonstrates enhanced photostability with the <i>T</i>₈₀ lifetime extended from 117 h to 260 h.

Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a novel 1D metalated COF, denoted as Por-PBA, constructed via the condensation of 4,4’-(1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-diyl)dibenzaldehyde (PBA) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (Por).

Interestingly, by programmatical installation of the secondary Fe ions into the PBA moieties, the optimized bimetallic CoPor-Fe_0.22PBA shows significantly enhanced CO₂RR performance relative to the monometallic CoPor-PBA. Particularly, CoPor-Fe_0.22PBA achieves a Faradaic efficiency for CO (FE_CO) of 100% at both –0.7 and –0.8 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), with corresponding partial CO current densities of −3.7 and −6.4 mA·cm⁻², respectively. Mechanistic studies further confirmed the formation of key *COOH and *CO intermediates during the CO₂RR process on CoPor-Fe_0.22PBA.

Benefiting from its reactive hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups, the 3-hydroxyindanone skeleton also serves as a highly versatile synthetic building block for the modular construction of structurally complex fused and polycyclic ring systems, providing abundant opportunities for molecular diversification and drug molecular modification. Meanwhile, the introduction of fluorinated quaternary stereogenic centers has become a mature and powerful strategy in modern drug discovery. Fluorinated chiral architectures with quaternary C–F stereocenters can effectively optimize the lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and binding affinity of bioactive molecules, endowing them with unique and untapped pharmacological potential compared with their non-fluorinated counterparts. Despite the tremendous advances in the synthetic chemistry of indanone derivatives and fluorinated chiral compounds, the catalytic asymmetric construction of enantiopure 3-hydroxyindanones bearing quaternary C–F stereogenic centers remains a long-standing and unaddressed challenge. The lack of reliable catalytic strategies severely restricts the further development and biological evaluation of such fluorinated chiral 3-hydroxyindanones. To address this synthetic problem and continue our research interest in asymmetric catalysis and fluorine-containing chiral heterocycle synthesis, we herein disclose the first example of catalytic asymmetric allylation for the desymmetrization of 2-fluoro-1,3-indanediones, enabling the facile and efficient construction of chiral 3-hydroxyindanones bearing quaternary C–F stereogenic centers. This newly developed yttrium(III)-based catalytic system exhibits excellent synthetic performance and stereocontrol ability. A broad range of functionalized 2-fluoro-1,3-indanedione substrates are well tolerated under mild reaction conditions, affording the target enantioenriched fluorinated 3-hydroxyindanone products in high yields, excellent enantioselectivities, and exclusive diastereoselectivity (&gt;20 : 1 dr). Notably, this desymmetrization strategy not only provides a straightforward and unprecedented approach to forge challenging fluorinated quaternary stereocenters embedded in indanone skeletons but also offers a practical platform for the synthesis of novel fluorinated chiral drug candidates.

The direct capture of iminyl radicals by another radical species to afford nitrogen-retaining products remains a significant challenge which has not been well explored. In this work, we report a <i>fac-</i>Ir(ppy)₃-catalyzed atom transfer radical cyclization of 1,5-enenitriles with thiosulfonates for the synthesis of γ-lactams bearing sulfonyl and <i>N</i>-sulfenyliminyl groups. It is the first application of using thiosulfonates as dual-functional reagents for simultaneous formation of C–S and N–S bonds through a photoinduced cascade radical reaction process. The reactions of 1,5-enenitriles and thiosulfonates were conducted in dioxane under mild conditions using Cs₂CO₃ as a base to form targeted products in moderate to good yields.

This protocol features a photoinduced reaction process under oxidant-free conditions, having a broad substrate scope and easy scalability, 100% atom economy, and representing a sustainable alternative to the conventional methods in making functionalized imines. Mechanistic studies suggest it has an energy transfer (EnT) pathway for thiosulfonate activation to generate initial radicals, while a base is used in neutralizing acidic byproducts for a better conversion.
