Recent catalytic protocols are built on tedious stepwise synthesis from complex P(V) precursors.

Thirteen types of <em>N</em>-, <em>O</em>-, and <em>S</em>-based nucleophiles are adopted for the preparation of six types of P(V) stereocenters. Over 100 examples are provided to show the generality and reliability of the synthetic method. This protocol is also applied to the concise synthesis of twelve bioactive molecules and analogs.

Herein, we present a homo-binuclear macrocyclic complex-mediated strategy for constructing cobalt-based diatomic catalysts, in which dioxygen-bridged cobalt dual-atom sites (Co–O<sub>2</sub>–Co) are uniformly embedded within hierarchically porous carbon nanospheres (denoted Co–O<sub>2</sub>–Co/HPCN) to promote efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysis. Notably, the hierarchically porous architecture, derived via a sacrificial-template approach, provides abundant and interconnected micro/mesopores that effectively confine the cobalt binuclear complex precursor, ensuring the atomic dispersion and structural integrity of Co–O<sub>2</sub>–Co sites. Importantly, the unique Co–O<sub>2</sub>–Co coordination motif stabilizes the *OOH intermediate through side-on bridge adsorption, thereby facilitating O–O bond cleavage and breaking the conventional *OOH–*OH scaling relationship. Benefiting from this synergistic structural and electronic modulation, Co–O<sub>2</sub>–Co/HPCN achieves an onset potential of 1.016 V and a half-wave potential of 0.916 V, surpassing commercial Pt/C catalysts. Moreover, Co–O<sub>2</sub>–Co/HPCN exhibits high power density and outstanding durability in both aqueous and flexible quasi-solid-state zinc-air batteries, underscoring its promise for next-generation energy technologies.

Our innovative strategy leverages P(III)-directed C–H activation, which entails the direct arylation of triarylphosphines with enantiomerically enriched PCP bromides. A cornerstone of this methodology is the intrinsic phosphine moiety within the substrates, which serves as a directing group, thereby facilitating the formation of a benzo-fused four-membered metallacycle during the catalytic cycle.
