An efficient iodocarbocyclization of alkenes for the synthesis of iodooxindoles has been developed. This reaction proceeds in a chemoselective manner and shows excellent tolerance of various functional groups, including a chemosensitive hydroxymethyl group. Nonmetal inorganic iodine pentoxide was ...

Two new metal-organic framework compounds of composition [M12(μ3-O)8(μ3-OH)8(μ-OH)6(OH)6(H2O)6(APDC)6], with M = Zr and Hf denoted as M-CAU-39, containing the azopyridinedicarboxylate ion (APDC2-) as a new linker, were obtained by a water based synthesis. The crystal structure was determined from ...

The degradation in water of the most widespread herbicide, glyphosate, is still under debate. Experimental disagreements on this process exist and there are only a few theoretical studies to support any conclusions. Moreover, the relationship between glyphosate and glycine is underestimated. ...

A highly dense polymer brush was previously fabricated by the spontaneous segregation of amphiphilic diblock copolymers in an elastomer matrix into water and a hydrophobic polymer interface and named a ‘dynamic polymer brush’. We fabricated a lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type ...

Nature produces hierarchical, functional materials by shaping amorphous mineral precursors under physiological conditions. Although biominerals inspire the architectures of synthetic counterparts, the biogenic phase transformations yielding precise crystalline forms, polymorphs and structures are ...

The divalent samarium triflate salt does not react with CO2 or water, but does react with traces of O2 or N2O to form a tetrameric bis-oxo samarium motif. The reaction with O2 is a 4e− reductive cleavage where the electrons are coming from four different samarium centers. This highlights a rare ...

Pesticides are commonly applied on foliage, forming dry deposits on the leaf cuticular wax. However, their photochemical transformation in this lipophilic environment is much less understood compared with that in surface water. In this work, sunlight photolysis of six chlorinated phenoxyacetic ...

Strong electric fields are known to greatly accelerate the freezing of water in molecular dynamics simulations, and have also been shown to affect the thermodynamics of the phase transition. In this work, a mechanistic explanation for field-induced crystallization of water is presented. Due to ...
