Water flipping and the oxygen evolution reaction on Fe₂O₃ nanolayers

Using second harmonic amplitude and phase measurements the authors characterize the alignment of water molecules in the Stern-layer and the work associated with water flipping on hematite electrodes, suggesting a causal relationship between water flipping and the oxygen evolution reaction overpotential.

Organocatalytic regio- and stereoselective cyclopropanation of olefins

Transformations from carbenes to olefins have generally been realized with transition metal-catalysed enantioselective methods or artificial metalloenzymes. Here the authors apply asymmetric counteranion-directed photoredox organocatalysis for the highly enantioselective cyclopropanation of styrenes and aliphatic dienes.

Photolytic activation of Ni^(II)X₂L explains how Ni-mediated cross coupling begins

Nickel(II) dihalide precatalysts with bidentate nitrogen ligands are widely used in cross-coupling reactions, notably in combination with photosensitizers, forming catalytic systems that currently drive major conceptual and synthetic thrusts within organic chemistry. Here the authors show a general mechanism by which these precatalysts are converted to the reduced, catalytically active species, using a range of characterization and spectroscopic techniques.

Chiral dual-annihilator model for controllable photon upconversion and multi-dimensional optical modulation

Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion efficiency is limited by the energy matching of the sensitizer and acceptor parts. Here, the authors implement a dual annihilator system in chiral liquid crystals to achieve efficient circularly polarized emission.

Whether multimorbidity accelerates brain Aβ deposition in humans remains largely unknown. Here, the authors demonstrate that higher self-reported multimorbidity burden predicts increased brain Aβ accumulation rates in the ADNI cohort.

Visible light-driven dearomative meta-cycloadditions of 2-acetonaphthalenes via triplet energy transfer cascade

Dearomative cycloaddition reactions are acknowledged for their capacity to rapidly and efficiently generate molecular complexity, creating sp3-enriched 3D complex molecules from simple 2D aromatic feedstocks. Here, the authors report formal dearomative meta-cycloaddition of 2-acetonaphthalenes propagated via a two-step energy transfer cascade.

Endothermic singlet fission is hindered by excimer formation

Singlet fission may one day allow solar cells to produce two excited electrons with one photon. Now, by comparison of the time-resolved photoluminescence and sensitized triplet–triplet annihilation of a tetracene derivative, it has been shown that—contrary to previous reports—the excimer state is a trap, and not a necessary intermediate for singlet fission.

Copper-mediated etherification via aryl radicals generated from triplet states

Cross-coupling reactions between aryl halides and alcohols using copper are challenging due to the energetically demanding oxidative addition of copper into aryl halides. Now, this high-barrier step is bypassed using an energy transfer or direct excitation strategy for copper-mediated cross-coupling reactions. This process enables the use of aryl chlorides as electrophiles and alcohols, amines and fluoride as nucleophilic coupling partners.
