Methods for the direct and specific extraction of lithium from salt mixtures are thus essential to ensure an adequate supply of this metal for the batteries needed to decarbonize the world economy. Here, we present the preparation of alkali-metal-templated coordination cages and their application to lithium extraction. Within the cage framework, protons alter the relative binding affinities of Li+ and similar metal ions: protons associate exclusively with Li+ in close proximity at the cage vertices, repelling other cations as a result of increased electrostatic repulsion, enhanced steric hindrance, and reduced availability of coordinating nitrogen atoms. We developed this proton-driven lithium recognition within coordination cages into a separation cycle capable of extracting Li+ from a mixture of salts that includes Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.","PeriodicalId":268,"journal":{"name":"Chem","volume":"147 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143880698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the formose reaction produces an intractable mixture, and efforts to tame the reaction to selectively and efficiently form aldose sugars have been unsuccessful. We have undertaken an NMR-mechanistic study of the aldol reactions of excess formaldehyde with glycolaldehyde, dihydroxyacetone, erythrulose, and erythrose under mild conditions and show that the reaction pathway is dominated by the formation linear ketoses and eventual accumulation of branched ketoses. Formation of C4 and higher aldo-sugars were not observed, implying that neither carbonyl migrations nor retroaldol reactions are occurring. Our results suggest that (1) controlling the aldol reaction of formaldehyde to selectively produce linear aldoses appears unfeasible; and (2) the concept of the formose reaction as a prebiotic source of ribose on early Earth needs serious reconsideration, and other models/options should be explored.","PeriodicalId":268,"journal":{"name":"Chem","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143862586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metal-catalyzed asymmetric additions of nucleophiles to allylic species undergo different pathways depending on the metal and nucleophile combination, hindering the development of useful addition reactions with aromatic nucleophiles. We report an asymmetric cross-coupling method between aryl boronic acids and linear allylic phosphates to give branched allylic products. This Suzuki-type reaction overcomes the “memory effect” in Rh catalysis, enabling an overall SN2′ transformation by rate-determining reductive elimination and forming a new stereogenic center adjacent to a terminal vinyl moiety. The method tolerates preexisting stereogenic centers, allowing for synthetic strategies where drugs and natural products are elaborated via diastereoselective allylic arylations. The method is used, as the catalyst-controlled stereochemistry-setting step, in an iterative strategy to give arrays of aryl-substituted contiguous stereogenic centers. This approach will complement existing catalyst-controlled stereoselective methods for forming C–C bonds.","PeriodicalId":268,"journal":{"name":"Chem","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143853600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reaction is set in motion by an interaction between the λ3-iodane ArI(OAc)2 and the π system of polyunsaturated organosilanes. In particular, the silyl-terminated enynes engage in fully regioselective ortho and para C–H functionalization, with selectivity switch achieved by reversing the order of the substrate’s ene and yne fragments. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the ortho selectivity is governed by a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, while the para coupling occurs through a directional three-point π interaction of the enyne-derived cationic π system, giving rise to an essentially barrierless [5,5] sigmatropic rearrangement. Furthermore, iodane-guided C–H functionalization of 2-iodonaphthalene could be directed to the ultra-remote C6 position through further π extension of the organosilanes partner. The latter reaction represents a nearly unprecedented example of a formal [7,7] sigmatropic rearrangement.","PeriodicalId":268,"journal":{"name":"Chem","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143846495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the rational design of 1D perovskites remains challenging, and existing materials with narrow ribbon widths predominantly form self-trapped excitons, which limit their potential applications. Here, we synthesize 30 1D perovskites with controllable ribbon widths and edge octahedra terminations by organic cation engineering. We observe the absence of self-trapped excitons as the ribbon width increases up to four octahedra, alongside the ability to modulate their optoelectronic properties by tailoring the edge terminations. The 1D free excitons result in in-plane anisotropic photoluminescence (PL) emission with polarization degree reaching 60%. Moreover, we observe robust exciton-photon coupling with Rabi splitting energies up to 800 meV, which is significantly larger than those of three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) perovskites, demonstrating a class of 1D quantum materials for advanced optoelectronics and photonics.","PeriodicalId":268,"journal":{"name":"Chem","volume":"136 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
