Among the few catalytic strategies that allow the direct and intermolecular introduction of an alkoxysilyl unit onto an organic substrate, the alkoxysilylation of unactivated C–H bonds has barely been achieved despite its synthetic potential and the atom-economy it conveys. In particular, a catalytic and transition metal-free C–H silylation protocol towards this class of organosilicon compounds has yet to be reported.

Photocatalytic ammonia decomposition is a promising approach for hydrogen production, and much attention has been given to this area in recent years. This mini-review summarizes the latest research progress in photocatalytic ammonia decomposition for hydrogen production. We mainly focus on the photocatalytic decomposition of aqueous ammonia solution and gaseous ammonia. For aqueous ammonia solution, various semiconductor-based catalysts are introduced, and the role of water is discussed. The formation of the ∙NH2 radical as a key species in the decomposition was proposed by different groups. In the case of gaseous ammonia, different types of catalysts, including semiconductor-based and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based ones, are described. The mechanisms of ammonia decomposition, such as the N−N recombination and the N2Hy dehydrogenation, are discussed. Methods for accurate temperature measurement in the photocatalytic process are summarized. We conclude that photocatalytic ammonia decomposition has unique advantages in high activity, mild conditions, green process, and fast response. Moreover, the excellent catalyst, efficient utilization of light, and suitable reactor design are critically important for the practical application of photocatalytic ammonia decomposition.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866921","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}

These hurdles often arise from incomplete understanding of the catalytic mechanisms. Here, we introduce a mechanism-guided descriptor (δ) for HER, designed to enhance catalyst screening among ordered transition metal carbonitride MXenes. This descriptor integrates structural and energetic characteristics, derived from an in-depth analysis of orbital interactions and the relationship between Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption (ΔGH) and structural features. The proposed model (ΔGH = -0.49δ - 2.18) not only clarifies structure-activity links but also supports efficient, resource-effective identification of promising catalysts.

Using ab initio and density functional theory we model the structural and electronic properties of the (2-(4-pyridyl)-5((4-(2-dimethyl-aminoethyl-aminocarbamoyl)-methoxy)phenyl)-oxazole (PDMPO) chromophore at different protonation states, in vacuum, and when next to silica of different ionicity. For protonated chromophores next to anionic silica sites, theory suggests strong emission in the visible spectral range from higher excited states and the probability of weaker near infrared fluorescence from a lower energy manifold. Using theory insights, we conduct single- and two-color confocal microscopy in the visible and in the near infrared, respectively, to study open and closed stomata of Equisetum arvense, a heavily silicified primitive plant. Three-dimensional ionic tomography resolves sub-micron neighbouring regions of high and low ionic charges of exo/endo-skeletal silica components according to whether they are open or closed. Considering the variance of methane and carbon dioxide levels prior to, during and after the Silurian, we discuss the observed high ionic contrast of stomatal apertures upon opening as a signature of bioinorganic machinery able to moderate methane and carbon dioxide transport for optimal growth under a range of atmospheric conditions.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866918","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}

Despite the importance of C–C bond cleavage for lignin valorization, this process is significantly challenging. Herein, we present plasmonic gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as environmentally friendly and reusable photocatalysts for the chemoselective oxidation of the benzylic hydroxyl groups of lignin and subsequent lignin degradation. The oxidation process is driven by the generation of superoxide ions (O2•−), leading to proton release and initiating lignin photooxidation through a mechanism termed plasmon-driven hydrogen atom abstraction and degradation (p-HAADe). Our results demonstrate the significant suppression of lignin oxidation and degradation in acetonitrile-rich environments, while aqueous conditions notably enhance these processes. Furthermore, two distinct time-dependent regimes are identified, namely, the \"oxidation dominant\" regime, where lignin oxidation is predominant, and the \"degradation dominant\" regime, favoring Cα–Cβ bond cleavage. These findings provide crucial insights into optimizing lignin conversion in biofuel applications, highlighting the potential of Au NPs for use in sustainable chemical processes.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866913","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}

Compound 1 is characterized by its predominantly phosphorus centered HOMO, which results in typical phosphine-type nucleophilic and reductive reactivity; however, the resultant compounds of such reactions feature properties distinct from their classical phosphine analogues due to the CAAC centered LUMO, which acts as acceptor for both intramolecular interactions and photophysical excitations. In contrast, compound 2 exhibits π-conjugation spanning the endocyclic PNP moiety and the two CAACMe substituents, despite its non-planar structure. Treatment of 2 with [Cp*RuCl]4 results in the electrophilic displacement of one of the CAACMe¬ moieties by two Cp*RuCl fragments to yield the spirocyclic compound 3.

Poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA, is a water-soluble, biocompatible and environmentally degradable polymer, which also has the unique function of ice recrystallisation inhibition (IRI) which can aid the cryopreservation of biologics. Site-specific PVA bioconjugation (“PVAylation”) is underexplored due to the challenge of obtaining homogenous mono end-functional PVA. Here we show that following deprotection of the acetate (from the precursor poly(vinyl acetate)), the concurrent xanthate end-group reduction leads to a diversity of ambiguous end-groups which prevented precision conjugation. This is overcome by using a photo-catalyzed reduction of the omega-terminal xanthates to C–H, which is orthogonal to active-ester bioconjugation functionality at the alpha-chain terminus, demonstrated by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. This strategy enabled the preparation of well-defined mono-functional PVA displaying alkyne, biotin and O6-benzylguanine chain-end functionalities, which are each then used for covalent or non-covalent site-specific modification of three model proteins, introduce ice-binding function. These results will enable the synthesis of new bioconjugates containing PVA and be of particular benefit for low-temperature applications.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866917","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 optical probes have been used to help understand many aspects of diabetes, the lung diseases caused by diabetes remain unclear and have rarely been explored. Herein, a tandem-reaction (TR) strategy is proposed based on the adjacent diol esterification-crosslinking reaction and the nicotinamide reduction reaction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to design a lung-targeting near-infrared (NIR) small molecule probe (NBON) for accurate imaging of diabetic lung diseases. NBON was designed by coupling a phenylboronic acid analog that can form borate ester bonds by reversibly binding with NADH via an esterification-crosslinking reaction. Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice and metformin (MET)/epalrestat (EPS)-repaired model studies demonstrated that NBON allowed the sensitive imaging of NADH for lung disease diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. The proposed antioxidant mechanism by which EPS alleviates diabetic lung disease was studied for the first time in living cells and in vivo. Furthermore, NBON was successfully applied in the detection of NADH in tumors and lung metastases. Overall, this work provides a general platform for an NIR NADH probe design, and advances the development of NADH probes for mechanistic studies in lung diseases.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866954","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}

Herein, we disclose an Ag salt-free, redox-neutral, and inexpensive ruthenium(II)-catalyzed protocol that enables exclusive B(4)–H acylmethylation of o-carboranes through a novel post-coordination strategy. By exploiting weakly coordinating carboxylic acid as a traceless directing group, this method achieves excellent mono-site selectivity for B–C(sp³) bond formation using diverse sulfoxonium ylides, demonstrating both functional group tolerance and synthetic scalability. This work not only establishes a practical synthetic platform but also addresses critical mechanistic questions unresolved in prior analogous studies. Through deuterium labeling, in situ high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) tracking, and single-crystal X-ray analysis of critical Ru intermediates, we unequivocally demonstrate that the mono-site selectivity originates from a unique post-coordination mode of Ru(II). The Ru catalyst simultaneously engages both the carboxylic acid and the enolizable acylmethyl moiety in the mono-acylated intermediate, thereby dictating the B(4)–H activation trajectory. Our findings establish a generalizable platform for regiocontrolled carborane functionalization while defining mechanistic paradigms in transition metal-mediated B–H activation chemistry.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866919","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}
