However, mechanistic aspects of the role of amines in ATRP in the dark have remained elusive. Herein, the structure–activity relationship and the related electron transfer reactions with Br–Cu<sup>II</sup>/L complexes and/or with alkyl bromides (R-Br) were investigated for 25 amines. Amines function as electron donors and reducing agents for Br–Cu<sup>II</sup>/L complexes via an outer sphere electron transfer (OSET) mechanism, enabling slow but continuous generation of Cu<sup>I</sup>/L activators and inducing controlled ATRP. However, two amines, diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene (DBU) and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG), reduced Br–Cu<sup>II</sup>/L faster, suggesting an inner sphere electron transfer (ISET) process. ATRP, starting with initial deactivators (Br–Cu<sup>II</sup>/L) species, proceeded in the dark in the presence of an excess of tertiary amines, such as tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (Me<sub>6</sub>TREN), 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), and TMG at room temperature and afforded polymers with low dispersities (<i>Đ</i> ≤ 1.15). With copper(II) triflate complex (Cu<sup>II</sup>/L<sup>+2</sup>, <sup>–</sup>(OTf)<sub>2</sub>), which has a more positive reduction potential, ATRP proceeded at room temperature with several inexpensive secondary and tertiary amines including triethylamine (TEA) and dimethylethanolamine (DMAE). Interestingly, multidentate amines also served as direct R-Br activators at elevated temperatures (60 °C). In all cases, chains were initiated with R-Br and not by the amine radical cations as byproducts of electron transfer. Amines also enabled ATRP in the presence of residual air in flasks with a large headspace, underpinning them as a robust and accessible reducing agent for practical applications.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143766761","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}

NiFe-based hydroxides are considered promising non-noble electrocatalysts toward the OER but require profound insight into the role of site-specific iron incorporation. Herein, we determined the critical role of edge sites on single-crystalline NiFe-based hydroxide toward the OER using spatially resolved in situ single-particle imaging techniques. The potential-driven incorporation of Fe into the specific edge or plane sites was achieved on two-dimensional (2D) Ni layer double hydroxide (LDH) single crystals. The spatially resolved scanning electrochemical cell microscopy imaging illustrated that Fe-doped edge sites dominated the activity of the OER rather than Fe-doped plane sites. In situ Raman spectroscopy imaging of single particles was used to monitor the evolution of edge and plane sites, revealing that the incorporation of Fe impeded the oxidation of Ni. Moreover, spatially resolved <sup>18</sup>O-isotope-labeling experiments demonstrated that Fe doping hindered the oxygen exchange between Ni LDH and the electrolyte, inducing the switch of partial active sites from Ni to Fe. Combined with theoretical calculations, the Fe–O<sub>bridge</sub>–Ni sites contributed to the enhanced OER activity on Ni LDH with Fe doping at the edge, whereas the O<sub>hollow</sub> (NiNiFe) sites induced by the infiltration of Fe into the plane were detrimental to the OER performance. This work provides direct spectroscopic evidence for understanding the specific sites at the single-particle level and guides the rational design of optimal electrocatalysts.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143766762","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}

Although several auxiliary techniques have been proposed to infer the microscopic motion of rotaxanes, employing intuitive and convenient methods to explore the microscopic dynamics of a mechanically interlocked polymer remains a significant challenge. Herein, this work introduces a mechanically interlocked network (MIN) into the patterned surfaces for visualizing and regulating the sliding process of [2]rotaxane units through the evolution of surface wrinkles. Upon the photodimerization of the anthracene-functionalized polymer chain, the surface wrinkle can be formed after thermal treatment and subsequent cooling to room temperature. Specifically, the cross-linked films exhibit visible changes in wrinkle topography through the disruption of host–guest recognition by alkaline stimuli. Moreover, by leveraging the unique mechanical properties of surface wrinkles, we prolonged and amplified the originally extremely transient and difficult-to-detect sliding motion of rotaxane units in terms of time scale. Through statistical analysis of the changes in wrinkle morphology, we were able to correspondingly deconstruct the three processes of the rotaxane sliding motion: (I) unrestricted rapid sliding following host–guest dissociation; (II) restricted sliding; and (III) termination of sliding. The novel approach we propose opens a new avenue for studying the microscopic molecular motion of mechanically interlocked materials, facilitating the advancement and application of mechanically interlocked structures. In addition to using macroscopic surface patterns to visualize and explore microscopic molecular motion, the motion of microscopic molecules can also be used to regulate macroscopic surface patterns.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143766764","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}

A nanoscale understanding of the interfacial microenvironment, i.e., the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), in lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction (Li–N<sub>2</sub>R) is key for realizing efficient ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) production. Herein, we used time-resolved neutron reflectometry (NR) to observe SEI formation under Li–N<sub>2</sub>R conditions. We found that the LiBF<sub>4</sub>-based electrolyte provided a substantially more well-defined SEI layer than previous SEI NR interrogations that used LiClO<sub>4</sub>, highlighting the underlying chemistry that dictates electrolyte design and enabling new NR-based studies. Using in situ NR, we found that the LiBF<sub>4</sub>-derived SEI under Li–N<sub>2</sub>R conditions comprises a thick, diffuse outer layer and a thin, compact inner layer at low current cycling (&lt;2 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>), revealing a structure which ex situ studies have not been able to probe. Increased current cycling and sustained current cycling led to the merging of the layers into a single-layer SEI. We used isotope contrast methods with <i>d</i><sub>6</sub>-EtOH and <i>d</i><sub>8</sub>-THF to drive time-resolved tracking of SEI growth at low current cycling, revealing that the proton donor modifies the inner layer, and the solvent modifies the outer layer. Li dendritic growth was observed in the absence of a proton donor. Neutron absorption also indicated the presence of boron in the SEI, underscoring the value of neutron-based interrogation. Our results inform Li-based systems and reaction microenvironments, and these methods can be applied broadly to interfacial energy technologies.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143758723","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}

Here, we present the design and synthesis of a bimetallic ruthenium–cobalt (RuCo) nanosheet for the treatment of IBD. The Ru–Co atoms within the nanosheet structure exhibit significant electron transfer properties owing to their electronegativity feature. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the RuCo nanosheets have higher d-band centers than the corresponding Ru and Co metal monoliths, which increases the catalytic activity. Such RuCo nanosheets exhibit superoxide dismutase and catalase-like cascade enzyme activities and show robust stability in gastric fluid over a 4 h period when exposed to simulated gastric fluid, ensuring desirable retention of antioxidative activity. Cellular and animal studies show that RuCo nanosheets are capable of effectively reducing oxidative stress, preventing inflammatory responses triggered by an abnormal increase in ROS at intestinal sites, and thus protecting cells from inflammatory damages. This research presents a gastric-acid-stabilized antioxidative nanocatalytic platform for the efficient treatment of inflammatory diseases of the digestive system.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143766760","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}
