Toxicity Responses from Tributyltin Chloride on Haarder (Planiliza haematocheila) Livers: Oxidative Stress, Energy Metabolism Dysfunction, and Apoptosis

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
In coastal waters, tributyltin chloride (TBTC), a persistent organic pollutant, is extensively present. It is uncertain, therefore, if exposure to TBTC can harm haarders and how.

Recent Progress in the Phase‐Controlled Synthesis of Ruthenium Nanocrystals for Catalytic Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Template effect and kinetic control enable crystal‐phase engineering of Ru nanocrystals, granting access to either metastable fcc‐Ru or stable hcp‐Ru with distinct surface structures, thermal stabilities, and catalytic behaviors. Moreover, the hcp‐Ru can further serve as an epitaxial template to direct Pd and Rh nanocrystals into the metastable hcp ...

Speciation‐Controlled C–F Bond Functionalization Enabled by Zwitterionic Pnictinidenes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zwitterionic pnictinidenes turn C–F activation into C–X bond construction, enabling broad defluorinative functionalization of polyfluoro(hetero)arenes under mild conditions. Rather than following a metallomimetic Sb(I)/Sb(III) redox turnover, catalysis is redirected by ligand scrambling into a redox‐neutral manifold, revealing catalyst speciation as a ...

A Strong Lewis Acidic Diethylsilylium Catalyst for Direct Sulfonamidation of Challenging Ketones

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Low‐substitution‐order silylium ions (R2HSi+) exhibit exceptional Lewis acidic activity. We report diethylsilylium‐catalyzed reductive sulfonamidation of functionalized ketones to access β‐amino esters. The in situ generated ion pair shows enhanced reactivity, with diethylsilane serving as both reductant and precatalyst. The developed protocol proceeds

Photochemical Reaction Discovery Enabled by the Dynamic Speciation of Copper Complexes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A strategy for accelerated photochemical reaction discovery is reported that harnesses the dynamic speciation of copper complexes, driven by their labile metal–ligand bonds. This platform simplifies reaction screening by combining an earth‐abundant copper(II) salt with commercially available ligands, which reversibly generate multiple catalytic species
