We report the first photoredox-mediated one-step synthesis of propargylic sulfoxides from (3-chloroprop-1-yn-1-yl)benzene and thiols. The protocol obviates the need for external oxidants typically required for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides. The approach offers a streamlined platform for accessing these valuable organosulfur compounds in a single step, with high chemoselectivity and functional-group tolerance.

The significance of medium-sized rings is demonstrated by their being key structural cores in diverse bioactive molecules. Herein, we describe an efficient strategy for synthesizing oxindole-annulated medium-sized S-heterocycles via ring expansion [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. This strategy features high substrate tolerance and yield, offering a versatile approach to such intricate skeletons.

BTT-Tp-BD-COFs composed of three kinds of monomers display non-centrosymmetric molecular structure, thus contributing large diploe moment, reduced exction binding energy, enhanced charge separation efficiency, and modified surface hydrophily. As a result, the hydrogen evolution rate of the optimized BTT0.85Tp0.15BD-COF was significantly improved, reaching 7.62 mmol·g⁻¹·h⁻¹.
A novel yellow-orange thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter with an asymmetric, high-orientation and rigid molecular structure is reported. This emitter simultaneously achieves a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 80% and an excellent horizontal dipole ratio of 91%, enabling an OLED with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 26.4%.

Three novel trimercarbazole-based gold(Ι) complexes with positional isomeric auxiliary ligands are elaborately designed and developed. Notably, all these gold(Ι)-containing luminogens exhibit interesting aggregation-induced fluorescence-to-phosphorescence conversion and temperature-dependent phosphorescence characteristics. Furthermore, the gold(Ι) complex with ortho-substituted trifluoromethylphenyl auxiliary ligand demonstrates high-contrast hypsochromic phosphorescent mechanochromism.
A fluorochromic Eu-based MOF is developed for highly selective Zr(IV) detection. Leveraging the strong Lewis acidity of Zr(IV), competitive coordination to carboxylate sites induces framework dissociation, disrupts ligand-to-metal energy transfer, and produces a distinct red-to-blue luminescence shift, enabling sensitive and selective sensing with a detection limit of 333 nM.

Stable fluorine and chlorine decorated Thiele-like diradicaloids were synthetized and studied in solution and in thin films. Femtosecond transient absorption measurements showed, for both molecules, charge-separated states in solution, but only short-lived singlets in thin films, with no evidence of twisted or charge-separated intermediates. This suppression of excited-state dynamics reflects the strong intermolecular interactions in the solid state and limits their singlet fission potential, highlighting key design challenges for implementing diradicaloids in solid-state optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices.

We report on a series of novel π-conjugated organic emitters based on cores possessing different degrees of fluorination flanked by two naphthothiophene units, obtained through a chemically sustainable synthetic approach. The luminophores exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior, good compatibility, homogeneous distribution, and excellent photostability in thin-film LSCs based on a PMMA matrix. It was found that by increasing the degree of fluorination in the core the overall efficiency is preserved, while the photostability, which is extremely important in the context of application in energy efficient buildings, is substantially enhanced.

A covalent triazine framework (CTF) was synthesized via a typical solution synthesis route and applied as an anode for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The extended conjugate structure of CTF not only endows structural stability and limited solubility but also improves electronic conductivity and offers numerous active sites. Meanwhile, the CTF displays a Na + storage capacity of 82.6 mAh g -1 after 9000 cycles at 2.0 A g -1 , indicating a superior long-cycling stability. Na3V2(PO4)3//CTF full cell demonstrates a capacity of 57.6 mAh g -1 after 1500 cycles at 1.0 A g -1 .
