Perfluorophenyl–phenyl (arene–perfluoroarene, AP) interactions have emerged as a unique class of noncovalent forces that play a decisive role in dictating molecular packing, folding, and excited-state processes. Unlike conventional π–π stacking, AP interactions arise from quadrupole complementarity between electron-rich and electron-deficient aromatics, offering a powerful tool for the rational design of optoelectronic and photofunctional materials. In this review, we highlight how AP interactions modulate optical anisotropy, charge transport, and photoresponsive behavior, and more specifically, how they contribute to fluorescent properties such as quantum yield enhancement, aggregation-induced emission control, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). We also discuss recent advances in leveraging AP interactions in crystal engineering, supramolecular assembly, and device applications ranging from organic photonics to bioimaging. By unifying the fundamental insights into emerging applications, this review aims to establish AP interactions as a central design principle for next-generation fluorescent functional materials.

Hypervalent silicon compounds represent a subclass of organosilicon chemistry which attracts the attention of scientist due to their unparalleled properties, unexpected, often bridged structures, unconventional reactivity and environmental benignity. Due to large amount of available material, this review is limited to available information about hypervalent fluorinated organosilicon compounds containing SiF and SiC bonds (not including the -CN ligand). The molecules reported include hexacoordinated and pentacoordinated silicon compounds. With decreasing level of coordination and number of SiF bonds, their main reactivity shifts form the ability to form new CC bonds to the formation of CF bonds. Thus, pentafluoroorganylsilicates (2-) can serve as stable, easily available and water soluble building blocks for coupling reactions, Michael addition and further functionalization of their organyl moiety, while tetrafluoroorganylsilicates(−) can be employed as substrates for Hiyama coupling in organic solvents or Fleming-Tamao oxidation. Trifluorodiorganylsilicates(−) having balanced structures with lower reactivity were mostly used for NMR studies of compounds bearing bridged fluorine atom. However, they were also employed as analogs of difluorosilanes with enhanced reactivity in alkylations and other nucleophilic reactions. In sharp contrast to previous silicates, difluorotriorganylsilicates(−) are able to deliver fluoride anion in organic solvents, surmounting thus chronically bad solubility of inorganic fluorides. Their application thus include both catalytic applications under strongly anhydrous conditions e.g. as deprotecting agents or stoichiometric applications in nucleophilic fluorinations, the latter using with advantage their convenient availability, affordable price and environmental benignity. The review also includes theoretical studies of fluoroorganosilicates, as well as the results of their low-temperature NMR studies furnishing invaluable information about their structure in solution. While some areas of fluoroorganosilicates are quite well explored, new developments in organic chemistry hint that fluoroorganosilicates can offer plenty of space for new valuable research. This can include new synthetic applications, the use of photochemistry, especially in transformations of pentafluoroorganylsilicates(2-) prone to releasing organic radicals, exploration of more sophisticated ligands in Hiyama coupling and its variants with the aim to improve yields and variability, and enantioselective applications both in CC and CF bonds formation, which is completely underexplored area.

σ-hole based catalysis is gaining eminent attention in tackling formidable stereoselectivity challenges, such as enantio-, diastereo- and site-selectivity. Leveraging on the electronic anisotropy on group IV-VII elements, highly directional noncovalent interactions (NCIs) can be established between reactants, intermediates and catalysts that are distinctive from classical Lewis acid catalysis. Attributes such as directionality and tunability led to novel dimensions for reaction stereocontrol that are often irreplicable by alternative activation modes. This review hence provides a systematic overview of the catalytic σ-hole tunability facet and the resulting innovative catalytic mechanisms. An overview of key advancements of stereoselectivity control in diverse classes of useful and biologically relevant synthetic reactions, such as in glycosylations, polyether and terpene cyclizations is also presented. Finally, we offer a forward-looking perspective on the future developmental trajectory of stereoselective σ-hole based catalysis.

Beyond its extensive use in coordination chemistry, tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPMA) has become a valuable scaffold for catalysis, where its combination of rigidity, modularity and conformational dynamics enables the stabilization of reactive metal species. This review focuses on TPMA-based complexes in homogeneous catalysis, highlighting both well-established roles, such as iron and manganese oxo intermediates, cobalt in energy transformations, or copper in atom transfer radical chemistry, and more recent applications involving other transition metals. Across these systems, unifying principles emerge: small changes in ligand environment can redirect selectivity, second-sphere effects are often decisive, and nuclearity governs mechanistic pathways.

Soft matter, owing to its structural tunability and multifunctionality, is advancing applications such as in flexible electronics, smart actuation, and biomedical engineering. However, the trade-off between rheological properties and printing resolution during 3D printing process limits the fabrication of complex structures and restricts further applications. To address this challenge, metal coordination strategies, with their adjustable and reversible interactions, provide an effective route to endow soft matter with both high printability and multifunctional properties. This review systematically summarizes the key roles of metal coordination in precursor design, structural regulation, and functional construction. It first clarifies the requirements of different 3D printing techniques regarding the rheological behaviors of precursors and the stability of polymer networks, and outlines coordination-based strategies for reliable and high-resolution printing. It then illustrates how metal coordination enables in situ multifunctional integration, including self-healing, stimuli-responsiveness, and electrical conductivity. Finally, from an application perspective, it discusses representative cases in biomedicine, soft robotics, and environmental monitoring, and looks ahead to future opportunities in multifunctional integration and intelligent manufacturing. Overall, this work provides a systematic guideline and innovative framework for constructing high-performance 3D-printed soft matter via metal coordination strategies.

The massive annual emission of billions of tons of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion significantly elevates atmospheric CO2 levels and hampers the progress toward carbon neutrality. Concurrently, the release of nitrogen oxides (NOx) exacerbates global environmental pollution. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (ECRR) offers a promising route to mitigate CO2 emissions. Recently, the integration of ECRR with NOx reduction (including NO, NO2−, and NO3−) has emerged as an attractive strategy for the simultaneous upcycling of carbon and nitrogen wastes via CN coupling. This approach enables the sustainable synthesis of high-value organonitrogen compounds, such as urea, amides, and amines, achieving dual goals of pollution remediation and carbon utilization in a single electrochemical process. Among the target products, urea (CO(NH2)2) is of particular interest, as its conventional production via the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch and Bosch-Meiser processes carries a heavy carbon footprint. The electrochemical synthesis of urea through CN coupling under ambient conditions presents a compelling alternative aligned with energy efficiency and carbon reduction objectives. This critical review examines recent advances in electrochemical urea production via CN coupling. We begin with an overview of catalyst design strategies tailored for efficient CN bond formation. This is followed by a detailed discussion of the proposed reaction mechanisms and pathways leading to urea. Furthermore, we explore the environmental implications of this technology, highlighting innovations in reactor design, the critical influence of operational parameters, and techno-economic assessments. Finally, we discuss the prevailing challenges and outline future research directions essential for translating electrochemical CN coupling from laboratory-scale innovation to practical industrial application.

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 has great potential to mitigate the climate change as it can be used to convert surplus CO2 into useful products with the help of renewable energy. The process provides a route for storing intermittent energy and offers an energy-neutral source of fuels and chemicals. In the past, the advancement of this area has been mainly centered on the development of catalysts with little consideration given to the importance of the electrolyte as an active component. Recent research has revealed that the electrolyte has an effect on all microscopic processes at the electrode-electrolyte interface that affect ion organization, solvation structures, electric fields, and local proton management. All of these influence the reaction activity, selectivity, and stability of catalysts. This review discusses the electrolyte as an active member of the reaction, and how cations, anions, and solvents guide competing reaction pathways, including the transformation of CO2 to CO and more complex hydrocarbons. Our vision is to develop a full-scale framework of the electrolyte-centered design through the combination of interfacial mechanistic knowledge with scale-up integration. We aim to combine interfacial control of the electric field with selective solvation, which is customized to long-term stability during operation. The interconnection between molecular chemistry and device engineering offers an obvious way forward to make the CO2RR process not only optimized through empire, but also a scalable technology that is essential to carbon neutrality.

Composite materials integrating magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and quantum dots (QDs) exhibit significant advantages and broad application prospects in the fields of in vitro diagnostics (IVD) and food safety. This phenomenon primarily stems from their exceptional combination of intrinsic magnetic-optical properties, engineerable surface characteristics, and emergent multifunctional synergies. This review firstly proposes the essential conditions that ideal MNPs-QDs composites should meet in order to be used for precision detection. Furthermore, we systematically examine contemporary synthesis approaches and functional attributes of MNPs-QDs hybrid systems, with particular emphasis on their advancing applications in biomedical diagnostics, food safety, and ionic sensing. Finally, we outline the current challenges and future development directions for preparation and precision detection applications of MNPs-QDs composites.

The strategic incorporation of rare-earth (RE) elements into titanium-based oxide frameworks offers a transformative pathway for developing next-generation energy materials. Unlike conventional RE-doped TiO₂ nanomaterials, which mainly provide surface-level modifications, RE-incorporated structures such as pyrochlores, layered and cubic serve as integrated, tunable platforms that enhance structural, electronic and catalytic functionalities. Substitution of light RE ions (La3+, Ce3+/4+, Nd3+) into Ti-O networks induces lattice distortions, alters the local electronic environment and promotes oxygen vacancy formation; factors essential for optimizing charge carrier dynamics, band structures and redox activity. These coordinated systems improve photocatalytic water splitting, electrocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen evolution and supercapacitor. Additionally, they achieve higher energy efficiency and longer device lifetimes at lower RE loadings, providing both economic and environmental benefits, particularly when combined with green synthesis methods and recyclable RE sources. This review evaluates RE-coordinated titanium oxides by examining their structure-property-function relationships, advanced synthesis methods and applicability in sustainable energy technologies. A SWOT analysis identifies; (1) strengths such as high stability and multifunctionality, (2) weaknesses including energy-intensive synthesis and limited visible-light absorption, (3) opportunities like scalable fabrication, RE recycling, heterostructure integration and (4) threats such as supply volatility, competition from alternative materials and regulatory challenges. Key future directions focus on enhancing scalability, long-term stability and multifunctionality in practical energy devices.

Supercapacitors have garnered substantial scientific interest due to their exceptional power density and ultralong cycling stability. However, the development of advanced electrode materials with superior capacitance remains imperative to meet escalating application demands. Carbon-supported single-atom metal materials (SAM–PCs), characterized by near-theoretical atomic utilization efficiency (≈100%), unique physicochemical configurations, and synergistic metal-support interactions, demonstrate considerable potential for simultaneously enhancing capacitive performance and operational longevity. Nevertheless, research in this field is still in its early stages. This review first provides a systematic analysis of synthetic methodologies, with an emphasis on the most prevalent and technologically feasible design paradigms. We then present a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the application of SAM–PCs applications in energy storage systems, including electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), potassium-ion capacitors (PICs), sodium-ion capacitors (SICs), and zinc-ion capacitors (ZICs). Finally, we critically assess the implementation of SAM–PCs in supercapacitors and outline strategic research directions to fully realize their potential. This work aims to establish fundamental guidelines to drive the evolution of supercapacitor technology toward next-generation breakthroughs.
