15N-Insertion into indoles and indenes for isotopically pure quinazolines and isoquinolines

This paper reports a photochemical oxidative ring-opening strategy using methylene blue and thermal 15N insertion to convert readily available indoles and indenes into isotopically pure quinazolines and isoquinolines, thereby enabling the synthesis of previously inaccessible labeled drugs and natural products.

Comprehensive Characterization of SLA-Printed SOMOS Watershed XC 11122 and the Effect of UV Post-Curing on Mechanical, Tribological, Spectroscopic and Morphological Properties

This study characterizes SLA-printed SOMOS Watershed XC 11122 resin and demonstrates that while a 10-minute UV post-cure maximizes tensile strength, a 30-minute cure optimizes wear resistance, revealing a non-monotonic relationship between curing time and mechanical or tribological performance.

Orthogonally light-gated electron transport in donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct supramolecular junctions

This study demonstrates orthogonally light-gated control over intermolecular electron transport in donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA) supramolecular junctions using specific irradiation wavelengths to selectively assemble, reconfigure, or disrupt π-π stacked pathways, thereby enabling multi-state conductance switching for advanced molecular logic devices.

Dynamic Light Regulation of Surface CO Coverage Enables Efficient Low-Temperature RWGS on Electron-Rich Pt

This study demonstrates that light irradiation dynamically regulates surface CO coverage on electron-rich Pt-MoO3−x_{3-x} catalysts by inducing interfacial charge redistribution and weakening Pt-CO interactions, thereby mitigating CO poisoning and enabling efficient low-temperature reverse water-gas shift reactions.

Interactions between single cellulose chain and water molecules and their temperature dependences: I. Pristine cellulose chain

This study utilizes first-principles calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to map the binding energies and temperature-dependent behaviors of water molecules on a single cellulose chain, revealing that weakly bound water molecules are mobile at room temperature and that water adsorption stabilizes hydrophilic OH sites while enhancing the reactivity of ether oxygen atoms between glucose rings.
