Abstract
Polymer-mediated cytosolic protein delivery demonstrates a promising strategy for the development of protein therapeutics. Here, we propose a new designed diblock copolymer which realizes efficient cytosolic protein delivery both in vitro and in vivo. The polymer contains one protein-binding block composed of phenylboronic acid (PBA) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) (DMAP) pendant units for protein binding and endosomal escape, respectively, followed by the response to ATP enriched in the cytosol which triggers the protein release. The other block is PEG designed to improve particle size control and circulation in vivo. By optimizing the block composition, sequence and length of the copolymer, the optimal one (BP20) was identified with the binding block containing 20 units of both PBA and DMAP, randomly distributed along the chain. When mixed with proteins, the BP20 forms stable nanoparticles and mediates efficient cytosolic delivery of a wide range of proteins including enzymes, toxic proteins and CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNP), to various cell lines. The PEG block, especially when further modified with folic acid (FA), enables tumor-targeted delivery of Saporin in vivo, which significantly suppresses the tumor growth. Our results shall inspire the design of novel polymeric vehicles with robust capability for cytosolic protein delivery, which holds great potential for both biological research and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Cephalopod skins evolve multiple functions in response to environmental adaptation, encompassing nonlinear mechanoreponse, damage tolerance property, and resistance to seawater. Despite tremendous progress in skin-mimicking materials, the integration of these desirable properties into a single material system remains an ongoing challenge. Here, drawing inspiration from the structure of reflectin proteins in cephalopod skins, a long-term anti-salt elastomer with skin-like nonlinear mechanical properties and extraordinary damage resistance properties is presented. Cation-π interaction is incorporated to induce the geometrically confined nanophases of hydrogen bond domains, resulting in elastomers with exceptional true tensile strength (456.5 ± 68.9 MPa) and unprecedently high fracture energy (103.7 ± 45.7 kJ m-2). Furthermore, the cation-π interaction effectively protects the hydrogen bond domains from corrosion by high-concentration saline solution. The utilization of the resultant skin-like elastomer has been demonstrated by aquatic soft robotics capable of grasping sharp objects. The combined advantages render the present elastomer highly promising for salt enviroment applications, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by sweat, in vivo, and harsh oceanic environments.

Abstract
Noncovalent interactions involving aromatic rings, such as π-stacking and π-ion interactions, play an essential role in molecular recognition, assembly, catalysis, and electronics. However, the inherently weak and complex nature of these interactions has made it challenging to study them experimentally, especially with regard to elucidating their properties in solution. Herein, the noncovalent interactions between π and π-hole, π and cation, and π-hole and anion in molecular complexes in nonpolar solution are investigated in situ through single-molecule electrical measurements in combination with theoretical calculations. Specifically, phenyl and pentafluorobenzyl groups serve as π and π-hole sites, respectively, while Li+ and Cl- are employed as the cation and anion. Our findings reveal that, in comparison with homogeneous π···π interactions, heterogeneous π···π-hole and π···cation interactions exhibit greater binding energies, resulting in a longer binding lifetime of the molecular junctions. Meanwhile, π···Li+ and π-hole···Cl- interactions present significantly distinct binding characteristics, with the former being stronger but more flexible than the latter. Furthermore, by changing the molecular components, similar conductivity can be achieved in both molecular dimers or sandwich complexes. These results provide new insights into π- and π-hole-involved noncovalent interactions, offering novel strategies for precise manipulation of molecular assembly, recognition, and molecular device.

Abstract
With the escalating global demand for electric vehicles and sustainable energy solutions, increasing focus is placed on developing electrochemical systems that offer fast charging and high-power output, primarily governed by mass transport. Accordingly, porous carbons have emerged as highly promising electrochemically active or supporting materials due to expansive surface areas, tunable pore structures, and superior electrical conductivity, accelerating surface reaction. Yet, while substantial research has been devoted to crafting various porous carbons to increase specific surface areas, the optimal utilization of the surfaces remains underexplored. This review emphasizes the critical role of the fluid dynamics within multiscale porous carbonaceous electrodes, leading to substantially enhanced pore utilization in electrochemical systems. It elaborates on strategies of using sacrificial templates for incorporating meso/macropores into microporous carbon matrix, while exploiting the unique properties of polyphenol moieties such as sustainable carbons derived from biomass, inherent adhesive/cohesive interactions with template materials, and facile complexation capabilities with diverse materials, thereby enabling adaptive structural modulations. Furthermore, it explores how multiscale pore configurations influence pore-utilization efficiency, demonstrating advantages of incorporating multiscale pores. Finally, synergistic impact on the high-power electrochemical systems is examined, attributed to improved fluid-dynamic behavior within the carbonaceous frameworks, providing insights for advancing next-generation high-power electrochemical applications.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 948:175000.

Abstract
It is well known that microplastics can act as vectors of pollutants in the environment and are widely spread in freshwater and marine environments. PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) can remain in the aqueous environment for long periods due to their wide application and good stability. The coexistence of microplastics and PFAS in the aqueous environment creates conditions for their interaction and combined toxicity. Studies on adsorption experiments between them and combined toxicity have been documented in the literature but have not been critically summarized and reviewed. Therefore, in this review, we focused on the interaction mechanisms, influencing factors, and combined toxicity between microplastics and PFAS. It was found that surface complexation may be a new interaction mechanism between microplastics and PFAS. In addition, aged microplastics reduce the adsorption of PFAS due to the presence of oxygenated groups on the surface compared to virgin microplastics. Attached biofilms can increase the adsorption capacity and create conditions for biodegradation. And, the interaction of microplastics and PFAS affects their spatial and temporal distribution in the environment. This review can provide insights into the fate of microplastics and PFAS in the global aquatic environment, fill knowledge gaps on the interactions between microplastics and PFAS, and provide a basic reference for assessing their combined toxicity.

Abstract
Reported herein are the bench stable (2E,4E)-diazohexa-2,4-dienals (diazodienals) and their unprecedented polycyclization with aldimine and arylamines enabled by Rh(II)/Brønsted acid relay catalysis. This scalable and atom-economical reaction provides direct access to the biologically important azatricyclo[6.2.1.04,11]undecane fused polycycles having six-contiguous stereocenters. Mechanistic studies revealed that polycyclization proceeds through an unusual triple-nucleophilic cascade initiated by aldimine attack on remote Rh-carbenoid, 6π-electrocyclization of aza-trienyl azomethine ylide, stereoselective aza-Michael addition via iminium activation, and inverse electron-demand intramolecular aza Diels-Alder reaction. The π-π secondary interactions play a crucial role in the preorganization of reactive intermediates for the pericyclic reactions and, hence, the overall efficiency of the polycyclization.

Abstract
The activation of esters by strong Lewis acids via the formation of covalent adducts is a classic strategy to give reactivity; however, this approach frequently incurs limited turnover due to the low efficiency in the dissociation of catalyst from a stable catalyst-product complex. While the use of some weak interaction catalysts that can easily dissociate from any bonding complexes in the reaction system would solve this catalyst turnover problem, the poor catalytic activity in the ester activation that can be provided by these noncovalent forces in turn sets up a formidable challenge. Herein, we describe the activation and catalytic transformation of esters by weak interactions, which provides a promising platform to reconcile the catalytic activity and turnover problems. Several tailored chalcogen-bonding catalysts were developed for the activation of esters, enabling achieving several inherently low reactive Diels-Alder reactions as well as the ring-opening polymerization of lactones through weak chalcogen bonding interactions. This supramolecular catalysis approach is particularly highlighted by its capability to promote some uncommon Diels-Alder reactions involving using dienes bearing electron-withdrawing groups coupled by α,β-unsaturated ester as dienophiles and substrate incorporating competitive Lewis basic sites, in which typical strong Lewis acids showed low catalytic efficiency, while representative hydrogen and halogen bonding catalysts were inactive.

Abstract
A noncovalent organocatalytic concerted addition of phenol to glycal is developed for the stereoselective and regioselective construction of biologically important phenolic 2-deoxyglycosides, featuring wide substrate tolerance. The method relies on an anion-bridged dual hydrogen bond interaction which is experimentally proved by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Ultraviolet and visible (UV-vis), and fluorescence analysis. Experimental evidence including kinetic analysis, Kinetic Isotope Effect (KIE) studies, linear free energy relationship, Hammett plot, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations is provided for a concerted mechanism where a high-energy oxocarbenium ion is not formed. In addition, the potential utility of this method is further demonstrated by the synthesis of biologically active glycosylated flavones. The benchmarking studies demonstrate significant advances in this newly developed method compared to previous approaches.

Abstract
This review surveys the synthesis and reactivity of low-oxidation state metalate anions of the d-block elements, with an emphasis on contributions reported between 2006 and 2022. Although the field has a long and rich history, the chemistry of transition metalate anions has been greatly enhanced in the last 15 years by the application of advanced concepts in complex synthesis and ligand design. In recent years, the potential of highly reactive metalate complexes in the fields of small molecule activation and homogeneous catalysis has become increasingly evident. Consequently, exciting applications in small molecule activation have been developed, including in catalytic transformations. This article intends to guide the reader through the fascinating world of low-valent transition metalates. The first part of the review describes the synthesis and reactivity of d-block metalates stabilized by an assortment of ligand frameworks, including carbonyls, isocyanides, alkenes and polyarenes, phosphines and phosphorus heterocycles, amides, and redox-active nitrogen-based ligands. Thereby, the reader will be familiarized with the impact of different ligand types on the physical and chemical properties of metalates. In addition, ion-pairing interactions and metal-metal bonding may have a dramatic influence on metalate structures and reactivities. The complex ramifications of these effects are examined in a separate section. The second part of the review is devoted to the reactivity of the metalates toward small inorganic molecules such as H2, N2, CO, CO2, P4 and related species. It is shown that the use of highly electron-rich and reactive metalates in small molecule activation translates into impressive catalytic properties in the hydrogenation of organic molecules and the reduction of N2, CO, and CO2. The results discussed in this review illustrate that the potential of transition metalate anions is increasingly being tapped for challenging catalytic processes with relevance to organic synthesis and energy conversion. Therefore, it is hoped that this review will serve as a useful resource to inspire further developments in this dynamic research field.

Illuminating a Solvent-Dependent Hierarchy for Aromatic CH/π Complexes with Dynamic Covalent Glyco-Balances. JACS AU 2024; 4:476-490. [PMID: 38425929 PMCID: PMC10900200 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.3c00592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
CH/π interactions are prevalent among aromatic complexes and represent invaluable tools for stabilizing well-defined molecular architectures. Their energy contributions are exceptionally sensitive to various structural and environmental factors, resulting in a context-dependent nature that has led to conflicting findings in the scientific literature. Consequently, a universally accepted hierarchy for aromatic CH/π interactions has remained elusive. Herein, we present a comprehensive experimental investigation of aromatic CH/π complexes, employing a novel approach that involves isotopically labeled glyco-balances generated in situ. This innovative strategy not only allows us to uncover thermodynamic insights but also delves into the often less-accessible domain of kinetic information. Our analyses have yielded more than 180 new free energy values while considering key factors such as solvent properties, the interaction geometry, and the presence and nature of accompanying counterions. Remarkably, the obtained results challenge conventional wisdom regarding the stability order of common aromatic complexes. While it was believed that cationic CH/π interactions held the highest strength, followed by polarized CH/π, nonpolarized CH/π, and finally anionic CH/π interactions, our study reveals that this hierarchy can be subverted depending on the environment. Indeed, the performance of polarized CH/π interactions can match or even outcompete that of cationic CH/π interactions making them a more reliable stabilization strategy across the entire spectrum of solvent polarity. Overall, our results provide valuable guidelines for the selection of optimal interacting partners in every chemical environment, allowing the design of tailored aromatic complexes with applications in supramolecular chemistry, organocatalysis, and/or material sciences.

Abstract
The elusive nature of noncovalent π-interactions leads to their infrequent use as a design element in challenging chemical reactions. Stereocontrolling models based on coordinated noncovalent π-interactions were used for the asymmetric dihydroxylation of 1,1-disubstituted aliphatic alkenes. By introduction of a substituted phthalazine ring into the alkene substrates, the enantioselectivity reached 99% under the catalysis of bis-cinchona alkaloid ligands. Density functional theory calculations indicated a well-orchestrated, π-π interaction-directed "sandwich-like" transition state.

Abstract
Glyphosate (GLY) is the most commonly used herbicide worldwide, and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) is one of its main metabolites. GLY and AMPA are toxic to humans, and their complex physicochemical properties present challenges in their removal from water. Several technologies have been applied to remove GLY and AMPA such as adsorption, filtration, and degradation with varied efficiencies. In previous works, an ultrafiltration membrane with permeate-side polymer-based spherical activated carbon (UF-PBSAC) showed the feasibility of removing uncharged micropollutants via adsorption in a flow-through configuration. The same UF-PBSAC was investigated for GLY and AMPA adsorption to assess the removal of charged and lower molecular weight micropollutants. The results indicated that both surface area and hydraulic residence time were limiting factors in GLY/AMPA adsorption by UF-PBSAC. The higher external surface of PBSAC with strong affinity for GLY and AMPA showed higher removal in a dynamic process where the hydraulic residence time was short (tens of seconds). Extending hydraulic residence times (hundreds of seconds) resulted in higher GLY/AMPA removal by allowing GLY/AMPA to diffuse into the PBSAC pores and reach more surfaces. Enhancement was achieved by minimising both limiting factors (external surface and hydraulic residence time) with a low flux of 25 L/m2.h, increased PBSAC layer of 6 mm, and small PBSAC particle size of 78 µm. With this configuration, UF-PBSAC could remove 98 % of GLY and 95 % of AMPA from an initial concentration of 1000 ng/L at pH 8.2 ± 0.2 and meet European Union (EU) regulation for herbicides (100 ng/L for individuals and 500 ng/L for total herbicides). The results implied that UF-PBSAC was able to remove charged micropollutants to the required levels and had potential for application in wastewater treatment and water reuse.

Abstract
An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed atroposelective macrolactonization has been disclosed. This approach affords planar-chiral macrocycles in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities over a broad substrate scope. Controlled experiments suggest that the enantioselectivity might arise from the cation-n interaction between the acyl azolium and the electron-rich moiety in the substrate. This mechanism is supported by density functional theory calculations, which also suggest an important π-π interaction in stabilizing the transition state.

Abstract
We show that countercations exert a remarkable influence on the ability of anionic cobaltate salts to catalyze challenging alkene hydrogenations. An evaluation of the catalytic properties of [Cat][Co(η4 -cod)2 ] (Cat=K (1), Na (2), Li (3), (Dep nacnac)Mg (4), and N(n Bu)4 (5); cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene, Dep nacnac={2,6-Et2 C6 H3 NC(CH3 )}2 CH)]) demonstrated that the lithium salt 3 and magnesium salt 4 drastically outperform the other catalysts. Complex 4 was the most active catalyst, which readily promotes the hydrogenation of highly congested alkenes under mild conditions. A plausible catalytic mechanism is proposed based on density functional theory (DFT) investigations. Furthermore, combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and DFT studies were used to examine the turnover-limiting migratory insertion step. The results of these studies suggest an active co-catalytic role of the counterion in the hydrogenation reaction through the coordination to cobalt hydride intermediates.

Abstract
Corannulene is known to undergo a fast bowl-to-bowl inversion at r.t. via a planar transition structure (TS). Herein we present the catalysis of this process within a perylene bisimide (PBI) cyclophane composed of chirally twisted, non-planar chromophores, linked by para-xylylene spacers. Variable temperature NMR studies reveal that the bowl-to-bowl inversion is significantly accelerated within the cyclophane template despite the structural non-complementarity between the binding site of the host and the TS of the guest. The observed acceleration corresponds to a decrease in the bowl-to-bowl inversion barrier of 11.6 kJ mol-1 compared to the uncatalyzed process. Comparative binding studies for corannulene (20 π-electrons) and other planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with 14 to 24 π-electrons were applied to rationalize this barrier reduction. They revealed high binding constants that reach, in tetrachloromethane as a solvent, the picomolar range for the largest guest coronene. Computational models corroborate these experimental results and suggest that both TS stabilization and ground state destabilization contribute to the observed catalytic effect. Hereby, we find a "mutual induced fit" between host and guest in the TS complex, such that mutual geometric adaptation of the energetically favored planar TS and curved π-systems of the host results in an unprecedented non-planar TS of corannulene. Concomitant partial planarization of the PBI units optimizes noncovalent TS stabilization by π-π stacking interactions. This observation of a "mutual induced fit" in the TS of a host-guest complex was further validated experimentally by single crystal X-ray analysis of a host-guest complex with coronene as a qualitative transition state analogue.

Abstract
Anion-π catalysis, introduced in 2013, stands for the stabilization of anionic transition states on π-acidic aromatic surfaces. Anion-π catalysis on carbon allotropes is particularly attractive because high polarizability promises access to really strong anion-π interactions. With these expectations, anion-π catalysis on fullerenes has been introduced in 2017, followed by carbon nanotubes in 2019. Consistent with expectations from theory, anion-π catalysis on carbon allotropes generally increases with polarizability. Realized examples reach from enolate addition chemistry to asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions and autocatalytic ether cyclizations. Currently, anion-π catalysis on carbon allotropes gains momentum because the combination with electric-field-assisted catalysis promises transformative impact on organic synthesis.

Abstract
The N-end rule pathway is a proteolytic system involving the destabilization of N-terminal amino acids, known as N-degrons, which are recognized by N-recognins. Dysregulation of the N-end rule pathway results in the accumulation of undesired proteins, causing various diseases. The E3 ligases of the UBR subfamily recognize and degrade N-degrons through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Herein, we investigated UBR4, which has a distinct mechanism for recognizing type-2 N-degrons. Structural analysis revealed that the UBR box of UBR4 differs from other UBR boxes in the N-degron binding sites. It recognizes type-2 N-terminal amino acids containing an aromatic ring and type-1 N-terminal arginine through two phenylalanines on its hydrophobic surface. We also characterized the binding mechanism for the second ligand residue. This is the report on the structural basis underlying the recognition of type-2 N-degrons by the UBR box with implications for understanding the N-end rule pathway.

Abstract
Rates of isothiourea catalyzed silylation and acylation reactions were measured for substrates with various electronic substituents at the aryl group. Through these measurements, the intermolecular interactions between cationic catalyst intermediates and different aryl groups were explored. These studies were performed to understand how changes in the catalyst structure affected electrostatic intermolecular interactions. Three different catalysts (N-methylimidazole and two isothioureas) were employed that varied in their ability to delocalize their cationic nature. The results show that more delocalization on the catalyst reduces the sensitivity to the electronics on the aryl group. Surprisingly, the isothiourea with a fused benzene ring provided additional points of interaction with groups that contained lone-pairs, significantly affecting the overall rate. This work helps explore the interactions that dominate in these types of catalytic systems, to aid in future organocatalysis development. Density functional theory (DFT) studies further confirmed isothiourea/aryl ring interaction with the alcohol substrate in the acylation process, which confirmed these hypotheses. Electron rich or lone-pair bearing functional groups stabilize the cationic catalyst core, thereby stabilizing the transition states and accelerating the reaction. It was also discovered that in one case, the formation of a stable substrate dimer was responsible for its lower reactivity.

Abstract
Cation-π interactions between various onium salts, alkynes, and acetylene were studied, taking into account the substituents of the triple bond, the nature of the anions, and the polarity of the solvent, through a combination of MP2 calculations and experiments. In an intramolecular setting, these data (including single-crystal X-ray crystallography) concurred with the stability of folded conformers of alkynyl onium salts, even substituted with electron-withdrawing groups. To examine the contribution of these interactions on the alkyne electronic population, a thorough in silico study was carried out using natural bonding orbital analysis of the conformers. Intramolecular interactions from sulfonium salt tethered to phenylalkyne were highlighted, as illustrated above by the computed folded conformation (MP2) along with noncovalent interaction (NCI) analysis. Furthermore, investigations of intermolecular interactions, involving acetylene or phenylacetylene with various onium ions, revealed the high energy interactions of their complexes with phenyldimethylsulfonium chloride, as illustrated above with the complex PhC≡CH/PhMe2SCl (MP2 calculations and NCI analysis).

Abstract
The vision to control the charges migrating during reactions with external electric fields is attractive because of the promise of general catalysis, emergent properties, and programmable devices. Here, we explore this idea with anion-π catalysis, that is the stabilization of anionic transition states on aromatic surfaces. Catalyst activation by polarization of the aromatic system is most effective. This polarization is induced by electric fields. The use of electrochemical microfluidic reactors to polarize multiwalled carbon nanotubes as anion-π catalysts emerges as essential. These reactors provide access to high fields at low enough voltage to prevent electron transfer, afford meaningful effective catalyst/substrate ratios, and avoid interference from additional electrolytes. Under these conditions, the rate of pyrene-interfaced epoxide-opening ether cyclizations is linearly voltage-dependent at positive voltages and negligible at negative voltages. While electromicrofluidics have been conceived for redox chemistry, our results indicate that their use for supramolecular organocatalysis has the potential to noncovalently electrify organic synthesis in the broadest sense.

Abstract
Anion-π catalysis operates by stabilizing anionic transition states on π-acidic aromatic surfaces. In anion-(π)n -π catalysis, π stacks add polarizability to strengthen interactions. In search of synthetic methods to extend π stacks beyond the limits of foldamers, the self-assembly of micelles from amphiphilic naphthalenediimides (NDIs) is introduced. To interface substrates and catalysts, charge-transfer complexes with dialkoxynaphthalenes (DANs), a classic in supramolecular chemistry, are installed. In π-stacked micelles, the rates of bioinspired ether cyclizations exceed rates on monomers in organic solvents by far. This is particularly impressive considering that anion-π catalysis in water has been elusive so far. Increasing rates with increasing π acidity of the micelles evince operational anion-(π)n -π catalysis. At maximal π acidity, autocatalytic behavior emerges. Dependence on position and order in confined micellar space promises access to emergent properties. Anion-(π)n -π catalytic micelles in water thus expand supramolecular systems catalysis accessible with anion-π interactions with an inspiring topic of general interest and great perspectives.

Abstract
It has been recognized that CBr4 can give rise to a noncovalent interaction known as halogen bond (XB). CBr4 was found to catalyze, in terms of XB formation, the transformation of 2'-aminochalcone to aza-flavanone through an intramolecular Michael addition reaction. The impact of XB and the resulting yield of aza-flavanone exhibited a pronounced dependence on the characteristics of the solvent. Notably, yields of 88% in ethanol and 33% in DMSO were achieved, while merely a trace amount of the product was detected in benzene. In this work, we use a computational modeling study to understand this variance in yield. The reaction is modeled at the level of density functional theory (based on the M06-2X exchange-correlation functional) with all-electron basis sets of triple-ζ quality. Grimme's dispersion correction is incorporated to account for the noncovalent interactions accurately. Harmonic frequency calculations are carried out to establish the character of the optimized structures (minimum or saddle point). Our calculations confirm the formation of an XB between CBr4 and the reacting species and its role in lowering the activation energy barrier. Stronger orbital interactions and significant lowering of the steric repulsion were found to be important in lowering the activation barrier. The negligible yield in the nonpolar solvent benzene may be attributed to the high activation energy as well as the inadequate stabilization of the zwitterionic intermediate. In ethanol, a protic solvent, additional H-bonding contributes to further lowering of the activation barrier and better stabilization of the zwitterionic intermediate. The combined effects of solvent polarity, XB, and H-bond are likely to give rise to an excellent yield of aza-flavanone in ethanol.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) treatments have shifted from small-molecular therapeutics to the oncoming biologics. The first-line biologics against the moderate-to-severe IBDs are mainly involved in antibodies against integrins, cytokines and cell adhesion molecules. Besides, other biologics including growth factors, antioxidative enzyme, anti-inflammatory peptides, nucleic acids, stem cells and probiotics have also been explored at preclinical or clinical studies. Biologics with variety of origins have their unique potentials in attenuating immune inflammation or gut mucosa healing. Great advances in use of biologics for IBDs treatments have been archived in recent years. But delivering issues for biologic have also been confronted due to their liable nature. In this review, we will focus on biologics for IBDs treatments in the recent publications; summarize the current landscapes of biologics and their promise to control disease progress. Alternatively, the confronted challenges for delivering biologics will also be analyzed. To combat these drawbacks, some new delivering strategies are provided: firstly, designing the functional materials with high affinity toward biologics; secondly, the delivering vehicle systems to encapsulate the liable biologics; thirdly, the topical adhering delivery systems as enema. To our knowledge, this review is the first study to summarize the updated usage of the oncoming biologics for IBDs, their confronted challenges in term of delivery and the potential combating strategies.

Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of Z-anti-Markovnikov styryl sulfides via an anionic thiolate-alkyne addition reaction was achieved when the terminal alkynes and benzyl mercaptans were reacted using tBuOLi (0.5 equiv) in EtOH under ambient conditions. Exclusive stereoselectivity (ca. 100%) was achieved by stereoelectronic control via anti-periplanar and anti-Markovnikov addition of benzylthiolates to phenylacetylenes. Solvolysis of lithium thiolate ion pairs in ethanol significantly suppresses the competing formation of the E-isomer. A remarkable enhancement of the Z-selectivity under a longer reaction time was observed.

Abstract
Computational analyses have revealed that the distortion of a catalyst and the substrates and their interactions are key to determining the stability of the transition state. Hence, two strategies "distortion strategy" and "interaction strategy" can be proposed for improving enantiomeric excess in enantioselective reactions. The "distortion strategy" is used as a conventional approach that destabilizes the TS (transition state) of the minor pathway. On the other hand, the "interaction strategy" focuses on the stabilization of the TS of the major pathway in which an enhancement of the reaction rate is expected. To realize this strategy, we envisioned the TS stabilization of the major reaction pathway by reinforcing hydrogen bonding and adopted the chiral phosphoric acid-catalysed enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of 2-vinylquinolines with dienylcarbamates. The intended "interaction strategy" led to remarkable improvements in the enantioselectivity and reaction rate.

Abstract
The autocatalysis of epoxide-opening ether cyclizations on the aromatic surface of anion-π catalysts stands out as a leading example of emergent properties expected from the integration of unorthodox interactions into catalysis. A working hypothesis was proposed early on, but the mechanism of anion-π autocatalysis has never been elucidated. Here, we show that anion-π autocatalysis is almost independent of peripheral crowding in substrate and product. Inaccessible asymmetric anion-π autocatalysis and sometimes erratic reproducibility further support that the origin of anion-π autocatalysis is more complex than originally assumed. The apparent long-distance communication without physical contact calls for the inclusion of water between substrate and product on the catalytic aromatic surface. Efficient anion-π autocatalysis around equimolar amounts but poor activity in dry solvents and with excess water indicate that this inclusion of water requires high precision. Computational models suggest that two water molecules transmit dual substrate activation by the product and serve as proton shuttles along antiparallel but decoupled hydrogen-bonded chains to delocalize and stabilize evolving charge density in the transition state by "anion-π double bonds". This new transition-state model of anion-π autocatalysis provides a plausible mechanism that explains experimental results and brings anion-π catalysis to an unprecedented level of sophistication.

Abstract
Cation-π interactions underlie many important processes in biology and materials science. However, experimental investigations of cation-π interactions in aqueous media remain challenging. Here, we studied the cation-π binding strength and mechanism by pulling two hydrophobic polymers with distinct cation binding properties, i.e., poly-pentafluorostyrene and polystyrene, in aqueous media using single-molecule force spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance measurement. We found that the interaction strengths linearly depend on the cation concentrations, following the order of Li^{+}<NH_{4}^{+}<Na^{+}<K^{+}. The binding energies are 0.03-0.23 kJ mol^{-1} M^{-1}. This order is distinct from the strength of cation-π interactions in gas phase and may be caused by the different dehydration ability of the cations. Taken together, our method provides a unique perspective to investigate cation-π interactions under physiologically relevant conditions.

Abstract
As major forces for modulating protein folding and molecular recognition, cation and π interactions are extensively identified in protein structures. They are even more competitive than hydrogen bonds in molecular recognition, thus, are vital in numerous biological processes. In this review, we introduce the methods for the identification and quantification of cation and π interactions, provide insights into the characteristics of cation and π interactions in the natural state, and reveal their biological function together with our developed database (Cation and π Interaction in Protein Data Bank; CIPDB; http://chemyang.ccnu.edu.cn/ccb/database/CIPDB). This review lays the foundation for the in-depth study of cation and π interactions and will guide the use of molecular design for drug discovery.

Abstract
The effective detection of environmental pollutants is very important to the sustainable development of human health and the environment. A luminescent Cd(II) coordination complex, {[Cd(dbtdb)(1,2,4-H3btc)]·0.5H2O}n (1) (dbtdb = 1-(2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-4-((2-(thiazol-4-yl)-2H-benzo[d]imidazol-3(3aH)-yl)methyl)benzyl)-2,7a-dihydro-2-(thiazol-4-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole, 1,2,4-H3btc = 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid), was obtained by hydrothermal reactions. Complex 1 has a chain structure decorated with uncoordinated Lewis basic O and S donors and provides good sensing of Fe3+, Cr2O72-, and p-nitrophenol with fluorescence quenching through an energy transfer process. The calculated binding constants were 3.3 × 103 mol-1 for Fe3+, 2.36 × 104 mol-1 for Cr2O72-, and 9.3 × 103 mol-1 for p-nitrophenol, respectively. These results show that 1 is a rare multiresponsive sensory material for efficient detection of Fe3+, Cr2O72-, and p-nitrophenol.

Abstract
Asymmetric organocatalysis is a robust methodology providing access to numerous valuable compounds while having green chemistry principles in mind. The realization of organocatalytic transformation under solvent-free mechanochemical conditions brings additional benefits in terms of yields, selectivities, and, last but not least overall improved sustainability. This overview describes developments in the use of mechanochemistry as a vehicle for asymmetric organocatalytic transformations. The material is organized according to main catalytic activation modes, starting with covalent activation and proceeding to non-covalent activation modes. The advantages of mechanochemical organocatalytic reactions are particularly highlighted, but in some cases also, limitations are mentioned. Possibilities for target compound synthesis are also discussed.

Abstract
Ionic covalent organic frameworks (iCOFs) have attractive properties that make them suitable for use as ion transport materials, as energy storage media, and for metal sorption. However, the synthetic pathways to prepare iCOFs are limited. Herein, we prepare an iCOF via a single-step reaction. The synthesized materials were isolated as polycrystalline nanowires. The theoretical and experimental data reveal that the synthesized iCOFs are predominately assembled into staggered configurations. The materials exhibit an uptake capacity of 3.5 g·g-1 for iodine. The ab initio calculations point to the role of bromide counterions, forming I2Br- as stable ions within the framework.

Abstract
Nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global concern. Agricultural soil is becoming a primary sink for nanoplastics generated from plastic debris. The uptake and accumulation of nanoplastics by crops contaminate the food chain and pose unexpected risks to human health. However, whether nanoplastics can enter grains and their impact on the grains of crop grown in contaminated soil is still unknown. Here, the translocation of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) in crops, including peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) is investigated. It is demonstrated PS-NPs translocation from the root and accumulation in the grains at the maturation stage. The treatment with PS-NPs (250 mg kg-1 ) increases the empty-shell numbers of rice grain by 35.45%, thereby decreasing the seed-setting rate of rice by 3.02%, and also decreases the average seed weight of peanuts by 3.45%. Moreover, PS-NPs exerted adverse effects on nutritional quality, such as decreasing the content of mineral elements, amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids. To the knowledge, this is the first report of the presence of nanoplastics in the grains of crop plants grown in soil containing nanoplastics, and the results highlight the impact of nanoplastics on the yield and nutritional quality of crop grains.

Abstract
Noncovalent interactions (NCIs) are critical elements of molecular recognition in a wide variety of chemical contexts. While NCIs have been studied extensively for closed-shell molecules and ions, very little is understood about the structures and properties of NCIs involving free radical intermediates. In this report, we describe a detailed mechanistic study of the enantioselective radical hydroamination of alkenes with sulfonamides and present evidence suggesting that the basis for asymmetric induction in this process arises from attractive NCIs between a neutral sulfonamidyl radical intermediate and a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA). We describe experimental, computational, and data science-based evidence that identifies the specific radical NCIs that form the basis for the enantioselectivity. Kinetic studies support that C-N bond formation determines the enantioselectivity. Density functional theory investigations revealed the importance of both strong H-bonding between the CPA and the N-centered radical and a network of aryl-based NCIs that serve to stabilize the favored diastereomeric transition state. The contributions of these specific aryl-based NCIs to the selectivity were further confirmed through multivariate linear regression analysis by comparing the measured enantioselectivity to computed descriptors. These results highlight the power of NCIs to enable high levels of enantioselectivity in reactions involving uncharged open-shell intermediates and expand our understanding of radical-molecule interactions.

Abstract
The π-complexes of cationic coinage metal ions (Cu(I), Ag(I), Au(I)) provide useful experimental support for understanding fundamental characteristics of bonding and 13 C-NMR patterns of the group 11 triad. Here, we account for the role of relativistic effects on olefin-coinage metal ion interaction for cationic, homoleptic tris-ethylene, and tris-norbornene complexes, [M(η2 -C2 H4 )3 ]+ and [M(η2 -C7 H10 )3 ]+ (M = Cu, Ag, Au), as representative case of studies. The M-(CC) bond strength in the cationic, tris-ethylene complexes is affected sizably for Au and to a lesser extent for Ag and Cu (48.6%, 16.7%, and 4.3%, respectively), owing to the influence on the different stabilizing terms accounting for the interaction energy in the formation of coinage metal cation-π complexes. The bonding elements provided by olefin → M σ-donation and olefin ← M π-backbonding are consequently affected, leading to a lesser covalent interaction going down in the triad if the relativistic effects are ignored. Analysis of the 13 C-NMR tensors provides further understanding of the observed experimental values, where the degree of backbonding charge donation to π2 *-olefin orbital is the main influence on the observed high-field shifts in comparison to the free olefin. This donation is larger for ethylene complexes and lower for norbornene counterparts. However, the bonding energy in the later complexes is slightly stabilized given by the enhancement in the electrostatic character of the interaction. Thus, the theoretical evaluation of metal-alkene bonds, and other metal-bonding situations, benefits from the incorporation of relativistic effects even in lighter counterparts, which have an increasing role going down in the group.

Abstract
Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) reactions of non-activated aryl fluorides with amide enolates are reported. The reaction proceeds under relatively mild reaction conditions. Lactams also participate in the reaction to give 2-arylated lactams. DFT calculations suggest that the reaction proceeds through a concerted SNAr pathway.

Abstract
The mechanism of chiral hydrogen-bond donor (HBD) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) co-catalyzed Prins cyclizations was analyzed through a combination of experimental and computational methods and revealed to involve an unexpected and previously unrecognized mode of alkene activation. Kinetic and spectroscopic studies support the participation of a catalytically active HCl·HBD complex that displays reduced Brønsted acidity relative to HCl alone. Nevertheless, rate acceleration relative to the HCl-catalyzed background reaction as well as high levels of enantioselectivity are achieved. This inverse Brønsted correlation is ascribed to chloride-mediated substrate activation in the rate-limiting and enantiodetermining cyclization transition state. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, distortion-interaction analysis, and quasiclassical dynamics simulations support a stepwise mechanism in which rate acceleration and enantioselectivity are achieved through the precise positioning of the chloride anion within the active site of the chiral thiourea to enhance the nucleophilicity of the alkene and provide transition-state stabilization through local electric field effects. This mode of selective catalysis through anion positioning likely has general implications for the design of enantioselective Brønsted acid-catalyzed reactions involving π-nucleophiles.

Abstract
We have shown here that weak interactions such as halogen bonding (XB) can be used to activate the carbonyl group of α,β-unsaturated ketones. Carbon tetrabromide (CBr4) has been used as the sole reagent for the selective synthesis of flavanones and aza-flavanones from the corresponding 2'-hydroxy- and 2'-aminochalcones under metal-free and additive-free conditions. DFT calculations support the catalytic role of XB between the oxygen of chalcones and CBr4 in these reactions.

Abstract
![]()
Tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) alkaloids constitute a
large and
diverse class of bioactive natural products, with the parent compounds
and related downstream biosynthetic secondary metabolites spanning
thousands of isolated structures. Chemoenzymatic synthetic approaches
toward the relevant THIQs rely on Pictet–Spenglerases such
as norcoclaurine synthase (NCS), the scope of which is strictly limited
to dopamine-related phenolic substrates. To overcome these limitations
in the context of chemical synthesis, we herein report asymmetric
Pictet–Spengler reactions of N-carbamoyl-β-arylethylamines
with diverse aldehydes toward enantioenriched THIQs. The obtained
products proved to be competent intermediates in the synthesis of
THIQ, aporphine, tetrahydroberberine, morphinan, and androcymbine
natural products. Novel catalyst design with regard to the stabilization
of cationic intermediates was crucial to accomplish high reactivity
while simultaneously achieving unprecedented stereoselectivity for
the reaction of biologically relevant substrates.

Abstract
Cation-π interactions widely exist in biological systems and play important roles in driving the self-assembly of biological molecules, stabilizing protein structures, and mediating molecular recognitions. Herein, a novel bioinspired poly(cation-π) micelles drug delivery platform is designed and constructed, based on the block copolymers with random cationic-aromatic sequences (amphiphilic cation-π polymer). Compared to the polymeric micelles formed by conventional amphiphilic block copolymers which are commonly limited to hydrophobic drugs loading, the engineered poly(cation-π) micelles can serve as a universal nanocarrier for a wide variety of hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs with π-structure. It is found that due to the strong cation-π interactions integrated in the core of poly(cation-π) micelles, this nanosystem performs improved structural stability and higher drug loading capability. Especially, in the oxidation-responsive poly(cation-π) micelles as proof-of-concept, the process of stimuli-induced drug release is found significantly accelerated under the biologically relevant level of H2O2 in tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, the mechanism of cation-π interaction enhanced H2O2-sensitivity of poly(cation-π) micelles is proposed, and the improving anti-tumor efficacy is demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo models. This work broadens the construction strategy of polymeric micelles and offers a universal drug delivery platform for efficient tumor chemotherapy.

Abstract
The results of quantum chemical and molecular dynamics calculations reveal that polyanionic gallium-based cages accelerate cyclization reactions of pentadienyl alcohols as a result of substrate cage interactions, preferential binding of reactive conformations of substrate/H3O+ pairs, and increased substrate basicity. However, the increase in basicity dominates. Experimental structure-activity relationship studies in which the metal vertices and overall charge of the cage are varied confirm the model derived via calculations.

Abstract
Molecular recognition and self-assembly are often mediated by intermolecular forces involving aromatic π-systems. Despite the ubiquity of such interactions in biological systems and in the design of functional materials, the elusive nature of aromatic π interaction results in that they have been seldom used as a design element for promoting challenging chemical reactions. Described here is a well-engineered catalytic system into which non-covalent π interactions are directly incorporated. Enabled by a lone pair-π interaction and a π-π stacking interaction operating collectively, efficient chiral recognition is successfully achieved in the long-pursued dihydroxylation-based kinetic resolution. Density functional theory calculations shed light on the crucial role played by the lone pair-π interaction between the carbonyl oxygen of the cinchona alkaloid ligand and the electron-deficient phthalazine π moiety of the substrate in the stereoselectivity-determining transition states. This discovery serves as a proof-of-principle example showing how the weak non-covalent π interactions, if ingeniously designed, could be a powerful guide in attaining highly enantioselective catalysis.

An intramolecular C(sp2)-NH coupling reaction mediated by PhI(OCOOCF3)2 could lead to two different regioisomers selectively at different temperatures when the dielectric constants of solvents like hexafluoroisopropanol and trifluoroacetic acid matched with the tautomer's dipole moments.

Abstract
Selective radical addition to terminal alkynes is always a difficult task to achieve because it gives a mixture of stereo- and regioisomers. Herein we describe the selective addition of aliphatic thiols or alcohols to N-phenylpropiolamides (terminal alkynes) using lithium tert-butoxide (tBuOLi) in ethanol as a promoter. Mechanistically, it has been shown that the reaction proceeded through the generation of a thiyl radical intermediate, and the amide group in N-phenylpropiolamide could help in the activation of the alkyne, which led to thioacetalization via the formation of a (Z)-selective anti-Markovnikov vinyl sulfide. The (Z)-selectivity during the formation of vinyl sulfides was controlled by an intramolecular sulfur⋯oxygen interaction.

Abstract
The recent development and prospects of cancer immunotherapy have led to diversification of the types of therapeutic agents used. By simultaneously administering various agents, a more effective therapeutic effect can be expected due to the synergistic effects of multiple therapeutics. In particular, if a substance with adjuvanticity and tumor antigen is delivered at the same time, enhanced cancer immunotherapy can be achieved through high cross-presentation and antigen-presenting cell (APC) maturation. To this end, we developed a polymerized phenylboronic acid (pPBA)-based immunogel for the simultaneous delivery of mannan, which has adjuvanticity and tumor antigen. The immunogel was formed by simple mixing of the polysaccharide mannan with pPBA through the formation of phenylboronic ester between the diol of mannose monomers and phenylboronic acids of pPBA. The immunogel was slowly degraded by hydrolysis to release the loaded tumor antigen. In addition, the released mannan played a key role in both APC maturation in vitro and the upregulation of cross-presentation. Finally, the pPBA-mannan immunogel exhibited a significant anticancer effect in the 4 T1 cell-inoculated mouse model, implying the potential of a codelivery system of antigens and adjuvants for effective cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Carbon-based matter, such as biomolecules and graphitic structures, often form a liquid-solid/soft matter interface in salt solution and continuously affect the surrounding cations through hydrated cation-π interactions. In this Perspective, we revisit the effect of the hydrated cation-π interactions at the interface using statistical physics, which reveals how hydrated cation-π interactions affect every component dynamically and cause a time-dependent statistical effect at the liquid-solid/soft interface. We also highlight several pieces of experimental evidence from a statistical perspective and discuss the remarkable applications related to environmental protection, industrial manufacturing, and biological sciences.

Abstract
Simple enough to be understood and complex enough to be revealing, cascade cyclizations of diepoxides are introduced as new tools to characterize supramolecular catalysis. Decoded product fingerprints are provided for a consistent set of substrate stereoisomers, and shown to report on chemo-, diastereo- and enantioselectivity, mechanism and even autocatalysis. Application of the new tool to representative supramolecular systems reveals, for instance, that pnictogen-bonding catalysis is not only best in breaking the Baldwin rules but also converts substrate diastereomers into completely different products. Within supramolecular capsules, new cyclic hemiacetals from House–Meinwald rearrangements are identified, and autocatalysis on anion–π catalysts is found to be independent of substrate stereochemistry. Decoded product fingerprints further support that the involved epoxide-opening polyether cascade cyclizations are directional, racemization-free, and interconnected, at least partially. The discovery of unique characteristics for all catalysts tested would not have been possible without decoded cascade cyclization fingerprints, thus validating the existence and significance of privileged platforms to elucidate supramolecular catalysis. Once decoded, cascade cyclization fingerprints are easily and broadly applicable, ready for use in the community. Hyperresponsive XL product space identifies polyether cascade fingerprinting as an attractive tool to elucidate supramolecular catalysis, including pnictogen-bonding, capsule and anion–π catalysts.![]()
