However, to date it is effectively restricted to forming organo-boronate esters (Aryl–B(OR)2) with its application to form other organoboranes rarely explored. Herein, we report a catalytic intermolecular heteroarene C–H borylation method using the commercial hydroborane 9-borabicyclo-[3.3.1]-nonane, (H–BBN)2. This process is effective for mono- and di-borylation to form a range of Heteroaryl–BBN compounds using either NacNacAl or NacNacZn ((NacNac={(2,6-iPr2C6H3)N(CH3)C}2CH) based catalysts. Notably, mechanistic studies indicated a highly unusual -bond metathesis process between NacNacZn–Aryl and the dimeric hydroborane, with first order kinetics in the hydroborane dimer ((H–BBN)2). Our calculated metathesis pathway involves ligand non-innocence and addition of both H–BBN units in (H–BBN)2 to the NacNacZn–Heteroaryl complex. This is in contrast to the conventional -bond metathesis mechanism using other hydroboranes which invariably proceeds by reaction of one equivalent of a monomeric hydroborane (e.g., H-B(OR)2) with a M–C unit. Overall, this work demonstrates the potential of extending catalytic arene C–H borylation beyond boronate esters, while highlighting that the σ-bond metathesis reaction can be mechanistically more complex when utilizing dimeric hydroboranes such as (H-BBN)2.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832320","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}

In our previous work, we discovered a linear correlation between the rates of ORR and Fe dissolution in alkaline media at room temperature, and the stability (S-) number descriptor that reflects this correlation was introduced. On the way toward further generalization and establishment of this descriptor, we investigate the effect of pH, potential, current density, and temperature on the dissolution behavior of various representative Fe-N-C electrocatalysts. It is shown that the S-number concept is also applicable for ORR and Fe dissolution in alkaline electrolytes at 70 ℃. It is more challenging to apply the S-number in acidic media, where the S-number is a function of ORR current density. A kinetic model is introduced, showing that the local pH inside the catalyst layer rises significantly with increasing current densities. The pH dependence of the S-number explains the results in acidic electrolytes. Accounting for such a dependence, the S-number descriptor can also benchmark Fe-N-C stability in acidic electrolytes. It is considered that this concept can also be extended to other reactions, allowing more rational activity and stability screening of electrocatalysts.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143827246","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 report the synthesis of a series of 9,10-dihydro-9,10-diboraanthracenes (DBAs) bearing ortho-arylthiomethyl-substituted phenyl groups on the boron atom as a new family of stimuli-responsive boron-containing π-conjugated molecules. The two ortho-arylthiomethyl groups coordinate to the boron atoms by forming five-membered rings in the DBA scaffolds to produce the cis isomers predominantly, where the strength of the boron–sulfur bonds can be tuned by structural and electronic modifications of the aryl groups. In the ground state, the B–S bond is cleaved upon heating in solution. In the excited state, the B–S bond undergoes dissociation, resulting in emission from tricoordinate species. The aryl groups on the sulfur atom also play a role in forming an intramolecular charge- transfer state, whereby the emissions are bathochromically shifted with large apparent Stokes shifts. Moreover, the B–S bonds are sensitive to solvent polarity and temperature, resulting in multiple emission properties depending on the surrounding environment.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"120 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143827298","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, literature reports have shown that QAS can both suppress and promote hydrogen evolution activity, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, we experimentally observed that the presence of QAS alone accelerates hydrogen evolution compared to NaOH solutions. Conversely, when QAS is combined with Na+ or H+, it inhibits hydrogen evolution. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulation and surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy results indicate that Na+ ions disrupt the hydrogen bond network at the interface, leading to a disorder in the water chain arrangement. In contrast, QAS enhances the hydrogen bond network, thereby facilitating the hydrogen evolution reaction. However, coexistence of Na+ and QAS leads to hydration competition, creating gaps in the hydrogen bond network near the surface and impeding hydrogen transport. These findings enhance our understanding of QAS in hydrogen evolution and guide future interface modulation strategies.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"218 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143819195","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}

From the summary of what has been achieved, focusing on the computational aspects, it is now clear that further studies of the chemistry of any chemical species that is highly sensitive to solvents, such as Group I and II elements, require a holistic approach that includes the solute andthe solvent together. Ab initio molecular dynamics, which meets these requirements, has produced some results, but it hits hard limits due to its relatively heavy computational costs. In these days, it is becoming clear that data-driven methods, including machine learning potentials and simulations driven by quantitative on-the-fly calculation of relevant observables, have the potential to better and more completely explore the very large chemical space associated with the presence of a large number of species in solution. These methodologies have the chance to give the keys to enter into the challenging and still poorly explored world of chemical species whose behaviour and reactivity are strongly influenced by the solvent and the experimental conditions.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143819775","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}
