Electrochemical Degradation of Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonates via Sulfonate to Carboxylate Conversion
We demonstrate a novel approach for the degradation of perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids (PFSAs) involving a controlled, electromediated, sulfonate‐to‐carboxylate headgroup conversion. We apply this method to shorter chain PFSAs and provide key mechanistic insights that contribute to a broader understanding of the molecular pathways underlying pollutant ...

The Formation of Covalent Linkages in Lignocellulosic Biomass via the Oxocarbenium Intermediate
Density functional theory models show that the hydrated and acidic hemicellulose matrix in lignocellulosic biomass can generate oxocarbenium ions. These reactive intermediates can participate in the stable formation of glycosidic lignin‐carbohydrate covalent linkages, promoting recalcitrance in plant biomass.

Unorthodox Thermodynamic Enolate Coupled with a Radical Pathway A transition‐metal‐free oxidation of biomass‐derived levulinic acid to citramalic acid is achieved through an unorthodox enolate in combination with a radical pathway using potassium tert‐butoxide (KOtBu) and molecular oxygen (O2).

Harnessing Carbenoid Reactivity From Imidazoles and Oxiranes
The combination of azole compounds and oxiranes exhibits carbenoid reactivity at elevated temperatures, as demonstrated by the successful benzoin condensation of aromatic aldehydes. Using this catalytic system to polymerize bifunctional aldehyde/oxirane monomers yields thermosets with glass transition temperatures above 100°C.

A donor–π–acceptor–π–donor (D–π–A–π–D) fluorophore bearing a U‐shaped dipyridophenazine core forms bifurcated hydrogen bonds with neutral donors such as sulfonamides or water. This interaction modulates both ground and excited states, enabling red‐shifted emission and enhanced photoluminescence in solution and solid state.
