Synthesis of Conjugated Linear and Cyclic Polyynes by Selective Alkyne Metathesis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The formation of polyynes with an odd number of conjugated triple bonds is challenging, particularly for complex architectures since most established methods rely on irreversible C–C bond‐forming reactions. To address this, we have developed the synthesis of triynes via alkyne metathesis.

Laser Engineering of HfN‐Based Nanoparticles for Safe NIR‐I Photothermal and X‐ray Enhancing Cancer Therapies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we produced HfN‐based nanoparticles via femtosecond laser ablation in acetone. The nanoparticles exhibit a red‐shifted plasmonic resonance in the NIR‐I window, colloidal stability after coating with polyethyleneglycol, and excellent biocompatibility. The photothermal and X‐ray sensitization therapeutic effects were demonstrated for tumor

Chemical Upcycling of Nitrile Butadiene Rubbers to Polyamines and Polyols by Chemoselective Catalytic Hydrogenation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We demonstrate here the transformation of NBR (Nitrile butadiene rubber) including post‐consumer waste sourced from nitrile gloves and o‐rings into polyamines and polyols via ruthenium catalyzed hydrogenation. ABSTRACT We report here two new approaches for the chemical recycling/upcycling of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to make either polyamines or ...

Total Synthesis of the Spirocyclic Bis‐Indole Alkaloid (−)‐Owerreine via a [4+2] Annulation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The total synthesis of the bis‐indole alkaloid (−)‐owerreine has been accomplished by a diastereoselective [4+2] annulation between an enamine and an α,β−unsaturated indolenine precursor to form the 3‐spirocyclic tetrahydropyridine linkage of the natural product. DFT calculations allow an understanding of the mechanism of the key annulation.

Rewriting Polymer Fate via Chemomechanical Coupling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a life‐like “living” polymer platform that can grow, degrow, and reprogram its properties after fabrication. By integrating mass transport, reversible polymerization, and controlled catalysis, the material achieves on‐demand changes in size, shape, and mechanical properties.

A Convenient, Safe, and Atom‐Economical Route to a Large Portfolio of Grubbs‐Type Catalysts for Olefin Metathesis via Four‐Coordinate Ruthenium Alkylidynes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
It may seem counterintuitive to first target a ruthenium alkylidyne when Grubbs‐type ruthenium carbene complexes are the actual goal. In the end, however, this tactic pays valuable dividends in terms of practicality, atom economy, flexibility as well as safety: the new route provides ready access to a large assortment of catalysts for alkene metathesis

Two‐Way Shape Memory Polymer Composite Gripper for Adaptive Robotic Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐way shape memory polymer (SMP) composite is developed with intrinsic shape‐changing capability driven solely by temperature, eliminating external actuation loads. Embedding the SMP in a low‐stiffness elastomeric matrix enabled reversible transformations during heating and cooling cycles.

Light‐Driven Diselenide Metathesis in Peptides

ChemistryOpen, 2019
Peptides containing selenocysteine moieties are susceptible to non‐catalytic reactions of diselenide bonds metathesis induced by visible light. In contrast to previously reported radical metathesis of disulfide bridges in cysteine derivatives, this newly
