Our synthetic endeavor toward the total synthesis of the reported unprecedented tricyclic skeleton of the sesquiterpene pestalustaine A allowed us to perform divergent cyclizations of a bicyclo[4.4.1]undec‐3‐ene into complex tricyclic architectures and to revise the structure of the natural product.

A “two‐in‐one” photoreduction strategy enabled by electron‐rich yolk Cd species both remote from and adjacent to sulfur vacancies is delivered to be ultraselective for the reduction of O2 and •CO2− in situ formed on the shell Bi2S3 composition (hole) by water oxidation and oxidative C–C cleavage of various biomass organic acids, furnishing CO with > 99%

Gold(III) Semiquinone Complexes: Synthesis, Structure, and Application in Photocatalysis
Au(III) catecholate complexes engage into electron donor acceptor (EDA) interactions with aryldiazonium salts, enabling single‐electron transfer under green light irradiation. Ligand‐centered one‐electron oxidation to stable semi‐quinone complexes provides a new platform for standalone Au(III) photoredox catalysis, as substantiated by the C–H arylation

A linear polymer, poly(2,3‐dihydroxynaphthalene), when insolubilized, leads to self‐assembly into a hydroquinone–quinone donor+acceptor semiconducting architecture through H‐bonding and π‐stacking interactions. The polymer behaves as a heterogeneous photocatalyst in water for H2O2 production via water oxidation and O2 reduction under visible light.

Toward Chromoselective Transformations in Biological Systems: Perspectives and Challenges
Controlling biological systems with small‐molecule chromophores has evolved into a powerful strategy and is applied from chemical biology to medicine. However, the complexity of in vivo systems cannot be matched by a single wavelength of light. Developing methods to combine and individually control multiple chromophores is crucial.
