We report a facile and tailored method to prepare globally twisted chiral molecular cages through tun-able coordination of bis-bipyridine-terminated helicene ligands to a series of transition metals including Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II). This system
Pyridinium 1,4-zwitterionic thiolates were applied to a formal [3+2] annulation reaction with modified activated alkynes, affording various tetrasubstituted thiophenes with aryl, alkenyl, alkyl or silyl group at the special position. The structural modifi
In situ formation of composite micro-mesoporous dendritic fibrous nano-silica (DFNS) and Al-DFNS was prepared using a cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) template synthetic system. Dealumination is induced by impregnation of zirconium with flux followed by a su
Using nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems as enhancers is a robust strategy for transdermal deliv-ery; however, the mechanisms by which these systems promote transdermal penetration are still unclear. Here, we fabricated a dual-labeled nano drug deli
Carbene transfer reactions play an important role in the field of organic synthesis because of their abil-ity to construct a variety of molecules. Herein, we reported on blue light-induced cyclopropenizations of N-tosylhydrazones in water, which avoids th
As one of the most promising fluorescent nanomaterials, carbon dots (CDs) have been extensively studied for their fluorescent properties in solution. However, research on the synthesis of multicolor solid-state fluorescence (SSF) CDs (from blue to red) is
Several simple, fast and practical protocols have been developed to synthesize internal or terminal propar-gylamines and chalcones via A3-coupling reaction of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes catalyzed by an eas-ily available catalyst Ag2CO3 under solvent-f
By introducing a host molecule cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) into a charge transfer system containing an amphiphile 1-[11-(naphthalene-2-ylmethoxy)-11-oxoundecyl]pyridinium (NP) and an electron-deficient molecule methyl viologen (MV), a novel and anisotropic te
The scandocene alkyl complex (C5Me5)2ScCH2SiMe3 was found to be an efficient catalyst for the dehy-drocoupling of the non-cyclic boranes, dicyclohexylborane and thexylborane, with amines under mild conditions. The reactions afforded the corresponding amin
Combined theoretical and experimental studies have explained the mechanism of Pd-catalyzed δ-C(sp3)?H arylation of primary amines. Instead of the monomeric Pd mechanism, our research unveils that all steps including C-H activation, oxidative addition, and
