In nature, differences in temperature create completely distinguishable landscapes in winter and spring. Similarly, by controlling the reaction temperature, efficient regioselective control of nickel-catalyzed hydrosilylation of conjugated dienes with primary silanes can be achieved, facilitating the divergent synthesis of various homoallylic silanes and allylic silanes under mild conditions. More details are discussed in the article by Zhang et al. on page 13—19.

A synthetic modulation approach has given rise to two topologically distinct thorium-based MOFs, which allow for elucidating how the structures of MOFs influence the iodine adsorption capacity and iodate sensing efficacy. More details are discussed in the article by Lin et al. on page 20—28.

Herein, we developed a Ni-catalyzed regiodivergent hydrosilylation of aromatic conjugated dienes with excellent regioselectivity by adjusting the temperature and ligands. Under low temperature (–30 °C), Ni/t-BuOK can efficiently catalyze the 3,4-anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation to provide homoallylic silanes without eternal ligands; under room temperature (25 °C), Ni/t-BuOK/PPh₃ can catalyze the 3,4-Markovnikov hydrosilylation to produce allylic silanes.

A palladium-catalyzed hydroalkynylation of unactivated terminal alkenes with ethynyl benziodoxolone (EBX) reagents under mild conditions has been developed, which provides an efficient method for the synthesis of branched alkynyl products in moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions. The reaction features excellent regioselectivity and functional group compatibility.

Five novel Daphniphyllum alkaloids, named dcalycinumines A—E (1—4, 6), and eight known Daphniphyllum alkaloids (5, 7—13) were isolated from Daphniphyllum calycinum. Compound 1 showed remarkable antitumor activities, which could inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, and promoted nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells apoptosis.

Herein, we have developed a highly practical and enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of heterocyclic diaryl ketones, providing the desired product with up to >99 yield and >99% ee. The synthetical potential of the current reaction was demonstrated by the gram-scale synthesis of key intermediate of baloxavir.

The CoO@FeSe₂/CF catalyst was synthesized by a one-step electrodeposition method, which showed an impressive activity and stability for seawater electrolysis.

Nitrogen/phosphorus co-doped carbon nanorods encapsulated Mo₂C nanoparticles deliver superior HER activity with low overpotential of 104 mV at a current density of 10 mA·cm^–2, which has been theoretically demonstrated to originate from the synergistic effect between P doping and Mo₂C induced electron redistribution of nitrogen-doped carbon layer.

The novel cationic conjugated OPV at a nanomolar level showed antibacterial photodynamic activity against both E. coli and MRSA through Type I and II mechanism under white light irradiation.

Single-molecule electrical measurements using tunneling sensors have shown remarkable potential because of their numerous advantages. While critical signal information is difficult to gather and analyze due to huge datasets and limited signal-to-noise ratio. We have designed a clustering-based machine learning model, which can calculate signal features with high effectiveness and efficiency.

Quanshi Guo and co-workers systematically reviewed the recent progress on bioactive hydrogels with pro-coagulation effect for hemostasis. They outlined the key points in the coagulation process, including the activation of coagulation factors and fibrinogen polymerization, and discussed how to design bioactive hydrogels to accelerate coagulation at these points.

Uncontrollable bleeding is like the collapse of heaven for patients, with blood gushing out uncontrollably. Researchers have developed bioactive hydrogels with procoagulant properties to achieve bleeding control as a "heavenly stone" for the defect. These hydrogels can effectively assist in stopping bleeding by activating the coagulation cascade reaction and hold promising prospects for clinical applications as hemostatic materials.

Hydrogen is a high energy density, clean, and non-polluting energy source and energy carrier. Seawater electrolysis is one of the most promising methods for renewable energy development. CoO@FeSe₂/CF catalysts with heterogeneous structures were prepared and showed excellent activity, stability, and selectivity. More details are discussed in the article by Tian et al. on page 48—54.
