Abstract
Herein we present a new strategy for the oxidative synthesis of formamides from various types of amines and bioderived formyl sources (DHA, GLA and GLCA) and molecular oxygen (O2) as oxidant on g-C3N4 supported Cu catalysts. Combined characterization data from EPR, XAFS, XRD and XPS revealed the formation of single CuN4 sites on supported Cuphen/C3N4 catalysts. EPR spin trapping experiments disclosed ⋅OOH radicals as reactive oxygen species and ⋅NR1R2 radicals being responsible for the initial C-C bond cleavage. Control experiments and DFT calculations showed that the successive C-C bond cleavage in DHA proceeds via a reaction mechanism co-mediated by ⋅NR1R2 and ⋅OOH radicals based on the well-equilibrated CuII and CuI cycle. Our catalyst has much higher activity (TOF) than those based on noble metals.

[PMID: 38706851 PMCID: PMC11067376 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.109714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Acidic and basic sites of catalysts are essential for CO2 capture and activation. In this work, Zr, N-ZnO/ZnAl-LDH-IL composites in ionic liquid and methanol systems were fabricated, and applied to catalyze the synthesis of ethylene carbonate (EC) from ethylene glycol (EG) and CO2 with about 4.76 mmolEC gCat.-1 h-1. The composites showed more strong basic sites due to the effective induction of reactive groups on the catalyst surface by Zr doping, resulting in an increase of pyridinic-N groups from 5.48% to 22.25%. More C atoms adjacent to pyridinic-N as strong basic sites was conducive to the activation of CO2 and EG. In addition, the possible catalytic pathway and mechanism of the composites for synthesizing EC as well as the doping of La, Fe, Ce, and Cu were also investigated, which provides an effective strategy for regulating the acid-base centers on the catalyst surface through ionic liquids and methanol solvents.

Abstract
Highly active nonprecious-metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) toward catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes are of great significance but still are deficient. Herein, we report that Zn-N-C SACs containing Zn-N3 moieties can catalyze the conversion of cinnamaldehyde to cinnamyl alcohol with a conversion of 95.5% and selectivity of 95.4% under a mild temperature and atmospheric pressure, which is the first case of Zn-species-based heterogeneous catalysts for the CTH reaction. Isotopic labeling, in situ FT-IR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations indicate that reactants, coabsorbed at the Zn sites, proceed CTH via a "Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley" mechanism. DFT calculations also reveal that the high activity over Zn-N3 moieties stems from the suitable adsorption energy and favorable reaction energy of the rate-determining step at the Zn active sites. Our findings demonstrate that Zn-N-C SACs hold extraordinary activity toward CTH reactions and thus provide a promising approach to explore the advanced SACs for high-value-added chemicals.

Abstract
The cascade synthesis of pyrroles from nitroarenes is an attractive alternative strategy. However, metal catalysts and relatively high temperatures cover the existing reported catalytic systems for this strategy. The development of nonmetallic heterogeneous catalytic systems for the one-pot synthesis of pyrrole from nitroarenes under mild conditions is both worthwhile and challenging. Herein, we describe an exceptionally efficient method for the synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles by the reductive coupling of nitroarenes and diketones over heterogeneous metal-free catalysts under mild conditions. Nonmetallic NC-X catalysts with high activity were prepared from the pyrolysis of well-defined ligands via simple sacrificing hard template methods. Hydrazine hydrate, formic acid, and molecular hydrogen can all be used as reducing agents in the hydrogenation/Paal-Knorr reaction sequence to efficiently synthesize various N-substituted pyrroles, including drugs and bioactive molecules. The catalytic system was featured with good tolerance to sensitive functional groups and no side reactions such as dehalogenation and aromatics hydrogenation. Hammett correlation studies have shown that the electron-donating substituents are beneficial for the one-pot synthesis of N-substituted pyrroles. The results established that the outstanding performance of the catalyst is mainly attributed to the contribution of graphitic N in the catalyst as well as the promotion effect of the mesoporous structure on the reaction.

Abstract
As corrosion products of Zn anodes in ZnSO4 electrolytes, Zn4 SO4 (OH)6 ·xH2 O with loose structure cannot suppress persistent side reactions but can increase the electrode polarization and induce dendrite growth, hindering the practical applications of Zn metal batteries. In this work, a functional layer is built on the Zn anode by a gelatin-assistant corrosion and low-temperature pyrolysis method. With the assistant of gelatin, undesired corrosion products are converted into a uniform nanoflake array comprising ZnO coated by gelatin-derived carbon on Zn foil (denoted Zn@ZnO@GC). It is revealed that the gelatin-derived carbons not only enhance the electron conductivity, facilitate Zn2+ desolvation, and boost transport/deposition kinetics, but also inhibit the occurrence of hydrogen evolution and corrosion reactions on the zincophilic Zn@ZnO@GC anode. Moreover, the 3D nanoflake array effectively homogenizes the current density and Zn2+ concentration, thus inhibiting the formation of dendrites. The symmetric cells using the Zn@ZnO@GC anodes exhibit superior cycling performance (over 7000 h at 1 mA cm-2 /1 mAh cm-2 ) and without short-circuiting even up to 25 mAh cm-2 . The Zn@ZnO@GC||NaV3 O8 full cell works stably for 5000 cycles even with a limited N/P ratio of ≈5.5, showing good application prospects.

Abstract
Achieving selective hydrodeoxygenation of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl groups to alkenes poses a substantial challenge due to the presence of multiple functional groups. In this study, we develop a ZnNC-X catalyst (X represents the calcination temperature) that incorporates both Lewis acidic-basic sites and Zn-Nx sites to address this challenge. Among the catalyst variants, ZnNC-900 catalyst exhibits impressive selectivity for alkenes in the hydrodeoxygenation of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, achieving up to 94.8% selectivity. Through comprehensive mechanism investigations and catalyst characterization, we identify the Lewis acidic-basic sites as responsible for the selective hydrogenation of C=O bonds, while the Zn-Nx sites facilitate the subsequent selective hydrodeoxygenation step. Furthermore, ZnNC-900 catalyst displays broad applicability across a diverse range of unsaturated carbonyl compounds. These findings not only offer valuable insights into the design of effective catalysts for controlling alkene selectivity but also extend the scope of sustainable transformations in synthetic chemistry.

Abstract
Constructing effective and robust biocatalysts with carbonic anhydrase (CA)-mimetic activities offers an alternative and promising pathway for diverse CO2-related catalytic applications. However, there is very limited success has been achieved in controllably synthesizing CA-mimetic biocatalysts. Here, inspired by the 3D coordination environments of CAs, this study reports on the design of an ultrafast ZnN3-OH2 center via tuning the 3D coordination structures and mesoporous defects in a zinc-dipyrazolate framework to serve as new, efficient, and robust CA-mimetic biocatalysts (CABs) to catalyze the hydration reactions. Owing to the structural advantages and high similarity with the active center of natural CAs, the double-walled CAB with mesoporous defects displays superior CA-like reaction kinetics in p-NPA hydrolysis (V0 = 445.16 nM s-1, Vmax = 3.83 µM s-1, turnover number: 5.97 × 10-3 s-1), which surpasses the by-far-reported metal-organic frameworks-based biocatalysts. This work offers essential guidance in tuning 3D coordination environments in artificial enzymes and proposes a new strategy to create high-performance CA-mimetic biocatalysts for broad applications, such as CO2 hydration/capture, CO2 sensing, and abundant hydrolytic reactions.

[PMID: 38395586 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
In the present scenario marked by energy source shortages and escalating concerns regarding carbon dioxide emissions, there is a growing emphasis on the optimal utilization of biomass resources. Baijiu, as the Chinese national spirit, boasts remarkably high sales volumes annually. However, the production of baijiu yields various by-products, including solid residues (Jiuzao), liquid wastewater (Huangshui and waste alcohol), and gaseous waste. Recent years have witnessed dedicated research aimed at exploring the composition and potential applications of these by-products, seeking sustainable development and comprehensive resource utilization. This review systematically summarizes recent research, shedding light on both the baijiu brewing process and the bioactive compounds present baijiu production by-products (BPBPs). The primary focus lies in elucidating the potential extraction methods and applications of BPBPs, offering a practical approach to comprehensive utilization of by-products in functional food, medicine, cosmetic, and packaging fields. These applications not only contribute to enhancing production efficiency and mitigating environmental pollution, but also introduce innovative concepts for the sustainable advancement of associated industries. Future research avenues may include more in-depth compositional analysis, the development of utilization technologies, and the promotion of potential industrialization.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2307727.

Abstract
Decorating Zn anodes with functionalized polymers is considered as an effective strategy to inhibit dendrite growth. However, this normally brings extra interfacial resistance rendering slow reaction kinetics of Zn2+ . Herein, a poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) coating with modulated coordination strength and ion conductivity for dendrite-free Zn anode is reported. The P2VP coating favors a high electrolyte wettability and rapid Zn2+ migration speed (Zn2+ transfer number, tZn 2+ = 0.58). Electrostatic potential calculation shows that P2VP mildly coordinates with Zn2+ (adsorption energy = -0.94 eV), which promotes a preferential deposition of Zn along the (002) crystal plane. Notably, the use of partially (26%) quaternized P2VP (q-P2VP) further reduces the interfacial resistance to 126 Ω, leading to a high ion migration speed (tZn 2+ = 0.78) and a considerably low nucleation overpotential (18 mV). As a result of the synergistic effect of mild coordination and partial electrolysis, the overpotential of the q-P2VP-decorated Zn anode retains at a considerably low level (≈46 mV) over 1000 h at a high current density of 10 mA cm-2 . The assembled (NH4 )2 V6 O16 ·1.5H2 O || glass fiber || q-P2VP-Zn full cell reveals a lower average capacity decay rate of only 0.018% per cycle within 500 cycles at 1 A g-1 .

Abstract
By immobilizing the metal complex on the substrate surface, our previous results have demonstrated that heterogeneous catalysts with well-dispersed active MNC (metal-nitrogen-carbon) sites can be prepared in a rational and efficient manner. In this study, we employed agarose aerogel (AA) as the substrate to illustrate a straightforward strategy for immobilizing ZnNx sites on the surface. Under relatively low temperatures, the amine group of the ligand condenses with the surface carbonyl group generated in situ, resulting in the surface immobilized Zn sites. This can be supported by the IR, PXRD, and XPS data. Comprehensive characterization methods, including synchrotron powder XRD and spherical aberration-corrected TEM, confirmed the absence of ZnNx site aggregation in the surface immobilization process, even with a high Zn content (up to 8 wt %). The immobilized ZnNx sites exhibited high catalytic performance in Knoevenagel condensation, and α,β-unsaturated compounds were obtained with high yield in both batch and continuous flow reactions. AA-ZnNx-200 showed the best catalytic activity, which was processed under 200 °C with a Zn content of 4.62 wt %. The immobilized ZnNx sites activated both the aldehyde and nitrile substrates, which were quantitatively converted into the corresponding α,β-unsaturated compounds, with water as the solvent at room temperature. In continuous flow reaction conditions, a conversion rate up to 99% can be achieved with malononitrile. This heterogeneous catalyst can be facilely produced with quantitative yield in a large scale from cheap starting material under mild conditions. No catalyst deactivation was observed after seven batch reaction cycles or 80 h of continuous flow reaction, indicating its high robustness under catalytic reaction conditions. This catalyst enables a separation-free, energy-saving, and environment-friendly production process, offering a practical way for the industrial production.

Abstract
The utilization of a single-atom catalyst to break C-C bonds merges the merits of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and presents an intriguing pathway for obtaining high-value-added products. Herein, a mild, selective, and sustainable oxidative cleavage of alkene to form oxime ether or nitrile was achieved by using atomically dispersed cobalt catalyst and hydroxylamine. Diversified substrate patterns, including symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkenes, di- and tri-substituted alkenes, and late-stage functionalization of complex alkenes were demonstrated. The reaction was successfully scaled up and demonstrated good performance in recycling experiments. The hot filtration test, catalyst poisoning and radical scavenger experiment, time kinetics, and studies on the reaction intermediate collectively pointed to a radical mechanism with cobalt/acid/O2 promoted C-C bond cleavage as the key step.

Abstract
Herein, we have specifically designed two metalated porous organic polymers (Zn-POP and Co-POP) for syngas (CO+H2 ) production from gaseous CO2 . The variable H2 /CO ratio of syngas with the highest efficiency was produced in water medium (without an organic hole scavenger and photosensitizer) by utilizing the basic principle of Lewis acid/base chemistry. Also, we observed the formation of entirely different major products during photocatalytic CO2 reduction and water splitting with the help of the two catalysts, where CO (145.65 μmol g-1 h-1 ) and H2 (434.7 μmol g-1 h-1 ) production were preferentially obtained over Co-POP & Zn-POP, respectively. The higher electron density/better Lewis basic nature of Co-POP was investigated further using XPS, XANES, and NH3 -TPD studies, which considerably improve CO2 activation capacity. Moreover, the structure-activity relationship was confirmed via in situ DRIFTS and DFT studies, which demonstrated the formation of COOH* intermediate along with the thermodynamic feasibility of CO2 reduction over Co-POP while water splitting occurred preferentially over Zn-POP.

Abstract
Nitrogen-doped, carbon-supported transition metal catalysts are excellent for several reactions. Structural engineering of M-Nx sites to boost catalytic activity is rarely studied. Here, we demonstrate that the structural flexibility of Fe-N3 site is vital for tuning the electronic structure of Fe atoms and regulating the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) activity. By introducing carbon defects, we construct Fe-N3 sites with varying Fe-N bond lengths distinguishable by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. We investigate the CTH activity by density-functional theory and microkinetic calculations and reveal that the vertical displacement of the Fe atom out of the plane of the support, induced by the Fe-N3 distortion, raises the Fe3 d z 2 ${3{d}_{{z}^{2}}{\rm \ }}$ orbital and strengthens binding. We propose that the activity is controlled by the relaxation of the reconstructed site, which is further affected by Fe-N bond length, an excellent activity descriptor. We elucidate the origin of the CTH activity and principles for high-performing Fe-N-C catalysts by defect engineering.

Abstract
InAs semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit intriguing electrical/optoelectronic properties suitable for next-generation electronic devices. Although there is a need for both n- and p-type semiconductors in such devices, InAs NCs typically exhibit only n-type characteristics. Here, we report InAs NCs with controlled semiconductor polarity. Both p- and n-type InAs NCs can be achieved from the same indium chloride and aminoarsine precursors but by using two different reducing agents, diethylzinc for p-type and diisobutylaluminum hydride for n-type NCs, respectively. This is the first instance of semiconductor polarity control achieved at the synthesis level for InAs NCs and the entire semiconductor nanocrystal systems. Comparable field-effective mobilities for holes (3.3 × 10-3 cm2/V·s) and electrons (3.9 × 10-3 cm2/V·s) are achieved from the respective NC films. The mobility values allow the successful fabrication of complementary logic circuits, including NOT, NOR, and NAND comprising photopatterned p- and n-channels based on InAs NCs.

Abstract
The development of methods for selective cleavage reactions of thermodynamically stable C-C/C=C bonds in a green manner is a challenging research field which is largely unexplored. Herein, we present a heterogeneous Fe-N-C catalyst with highly dispersed iron centers that allows for the oxidative C-C/C=C bond cleavage of amines, secondary alcohols, ketones, and olefins in the presence of air (O2 ) and water (H2 O). Mechanistic studies reveal the presence of water to be essential for the performance of the Fe-N-C system, boosting the product yield from <1 % to >90 %. Combined spectroscopic characterizations and control experiments suggest the singlet 1 O2 and hydroxide species generated from O2 and H2 O, respectively, take selectively part in the C-C bond cleavage. The broad applicability (>40 examples) even for complex drugs as well as high activity, selectivity, and durability under comparably mild conditions highlight this unique catalytic system.

Abstract
The aerobic oxidative cleavage of C-C bonds is an attractive and sustainable route for constructing valuable molecules such as esters, nitriles, and amides. Traditionally homogeneous catalytic systems for C-C bond cleavage required harsh conditions, stoichiometric oxidants, and noble metal catalysts to overcome the thermodynamic and kinetic barriers of C-C bonds, imposing environmental concerns of the transformation. Therefore, developing efficient, low-cost, and environmentally benign methods for C-C bond cleavage is of great importance and a cutting-edge area in modern chemistry. This feature article summarizes the sustainable aerobic oxidative C-C bond cleavage method developed by our group in the past 5 years. Fundamental principles in catalyst design, substrate scope, and mechanism for C-C bond cleavage are also discussed.

Abstract
Enzymes achieve high catalytic activity with their elaborate arrangements of amino acid residues in confined optimized spaces. Nevertheless, when exposed to complicated environmental implementation scenarios, including high acidity, organic solvent and high ionic strength, enzymes exhibit low operational stability and poor activity. Here, we report a metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based artificial enzyme system via second coordination sphere engineering to achieve high hydrolytic activity under mild conditions. Experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that amide cleavage catalyzed by MOFs follows two distinct catalytic mechanisms, Lewis acid- and hydrogen bonding-mediated hydrolytic processes. The hydrogen bond formed in the secondary coordination sphere exhibits 11-fold higher hydrolytic activity than the Lewis acidic zinc ions. The MOFs exhibit satisfactory degradation performance of toxins and high stability under extreme working conditions, including complicated fermentation broth and high ethanol environments, and display broad substrate specificity. These findings hold great promise for designing artificial enzymes for environmental remediation.

CHEMSUSCHEM 2023; 16:e202300373. [PMID: 37258454 DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202300373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
Effective cleavage and functionalization of C(OH)-C bonds is of great importance for the production of value-added chemicals from renewable biomass resources such as carbohydrates, lignin and their derivatives. The efficiency and selectivity of oxidative cleavage of C(OH)-C bonds are hindered by their inert nature and various side reactions associated with the hydroxyl group. The oxidative conversion of secondary alcohols to produce aldehydes is particularly challenging because the generated aldehydes tend to be over-oxidized to acids or the other side products. Noble-metal based catalysts are necessary to get satisfactory aldehyde yields. Herein, for the first time, the efficient aerobic oxidative conversion of secondary aromatic alcohols into aromatic aldehydes is reported using non-noble metal catalysts and environmentally benign oxygen, without any additional base. It was found that CuI -1,10-phenanthroline (Cu-phen) complex showed outstanding performance for the reactions. The C(OH)-C bonds of a diverse array of aromatic secondary alcohols were effectively cleaved and functionalized, selectively affording aldehydes with excellent yields. Detailed mechanism study revealed a radical mediated pathway for the oxidative reaction. We believe that the findings in this work will lead to many explorations in non-noble metal catalyzed oxidative reactions.

Abstract
Phenols are important building blocks widely applied in many fields. The pronounced orientational effect of the phenolic hydroxyl group makes achieving selective synthesis of meta-phenols challenging. Accessing meta-phenols needs lengthy synthetic sequences. Herein, we first developed a heterogeneous CO2-mediated CeO2-5CuO catalyst for decarboxylative oxidation of benzoic acids with a more than 80% selectivity to meta-phenols. This technology is based on a traceless directing group relay method. The CeO2-CuO catalysts with different Ce/Cu ratios exhibited controllable reaction selectivity between decarboxylation and decarboxylative oxidation. Spectroscopy experiments and computational studies showed the adsorption state of benzoic acid was found to be crucial for subsequent reaction pathways. The moderate adsorption on CO2-mediated CeO2-5CuO catalyst contributes to the distinct selectivity of phenol. Furthermore, the paddlewheel intermediate facilitates the synthesis of meta-phenols from benzoic acids. This traceless directing group method would promote the development of useful one-pot meta-substituted phenols from bio-based benzoic acids.

Abstract
The cleavage and functionalization of C-S bonds have become a rapidly growing field for the design or discovery of new transformations. However, it is usually difficult to achieve in a direct and selective fashion due to the intrinsic inertness and catalyst-poisonous character. Herein, for the first time, we report a novel and efficient protocol that enables direct oxidative cleavage and cyanation of organosulfur compounds by heterogeneous nonprecious-metal Co-N-C catalyst comprising graphene encapsulated Co nanoparticles and Co-Nx sites using oxygen as environmentally benign oxidant and ammonia as nitrogen source. A wide variety of thiols, sulfides, sulfoxides, sulfones, sulfonamides, and sulfonyl chlorides are viable in this reaction, enabling access to diverse nitriles under cyanide-free conditions. Moreover, modifying the reaction conditions also allows for the cleavage and amidation of organosulfur compounds to deliver amides. This protocol features excellent functional group tolerance, facile scalability, cost-effective and recyclable catalyst, and broad substrate scope. Characterization and mechanistic studies reveal that the remarkable effectiveness of the synergistic catalysis of Co nanoparticles and Co-Nx sites is crucial for achieving outstanding catalytic performance.

Abstract
Nonprecious metal heterogeneous catalysts composed of first-row transition metals incorporated into nitrogen-doped carbon matrices (M-N-Cs) have been studied for decades as leading alternatives to Pt for the electrocatalytic O2 reduction reaction (ORR). More recently, similar M-N-C catalysts have been shown to catalyze the aerobic oxidation of organic molecules. This Focus Review highlights mechanistic similarities and distinctions between these two reaction classes and then surveys the aerobic oxidation reactions catalyzed by M-N-Cs. As the active-site structures and kinetic properties of M-N-C aerobic oxidation catalysts have not been extensively studied, the array of tools and methods used to characterize ORR catalysts are presented with the goal of supporting further advances in the field of aerobic oxidation.

Abstract
Atomically dispersed Zn moieties are efficient active sites for accelerating the electrode kinetics of carbons for sodium-ion hybrid capacitors (SIHCs), but the low utilization and symmetric configuration of Zn single-atom greatly hamper the Na ion storage capability. Herein, a molecular design strategy is employed to synthesize high-density Zn single atoms with asymmetric Zn-N3 S coordination embedded in nitrogen/sulfur codoped carbon (Zn-N3 S-NSC). The key to this strategy lies in the Zn power-catalyzed condensation of trithiocyanuric acid molecules to generate S-doped g-C3 N4 , which can in situ coordinate with Zn sources to form Zn-N3 S moieties during pyrolysis. By virtue of the highly exposed Zn-N3 S moieties, Zn-N3 S-NSC presents ultrahigh reactivity, efficient electron transfer, and decreased ion diffusion barriers for SIHCs, rendering an impressive energy density of 215 Wh kg-1 and a maximum power density of 15625 W kg-1 . Moreover, the pouch cell displays a high capacity of 279 mAh g-1 after 4000 cycles. This work provides a new avenue for the regulation of the coordination configuration of single metal atoms in carbons toward high-performance electrochemical energy technologies at the molecular level.

Abstract
Ultrasensitively selective detection of trace polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) like phenanthrene (PHE) is critical but remains challenging. Herein, atomically dispersed Zn sites on g-C3 N4 nanosheets (sZn-CN) are constructed by thermal polymerization of a Zn-cyanuric acid-melamine supramolecular precursor for the fluorescence detection of PHE. A high amount (1.6 wt%) of sZn is grafted in the cave of CN with one N vacancy in the form of unique Zn(II)N5 coordination. The optimized sZn-CN achieves a wide detection range (1 ng L-1 to 5 mg L-1 ), ultralow detection limit (0.35 ng L-1 , with 5-order magnitude improvement over CN), and ultrahigh selectivity toward PHE even among typical PAHs based on the built PHE-CN dual ratiometric fluorescence method. By means of in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, time-resolved absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations, the resulting superior detection performance is attributed to the favorable selective adsorption of PHE on as-constructed atomic Zn(II)N5 sites via the ionic cation-π interactions (Znδ+ C2 δ- type), and the fluorescence quenching is dominated by the inner filter effect (IFE) from the multilayer adsorption of PHE at low concentrations, while it is done by the protruded photogenerated electron-transfer process, as well as IFE from the monolayer adsorption of PHE at ultralow concentration.

Abstract
The C-N bond cleavage represents one kind of important organic and biochemical transformation, which has attracted great interest in recent years. The oxidative cleavage of C-N bonds in N,N-dialkylamines into N-alkylamines has been well documented, but it is challenging in the further oxidative cleavage of C-N bonds in N-alkylamines into primary amines due to the thermally unfavorable release of α-position H from N-Cα-H and the paralleling side reactions. Herein, a biomass-derived single Zn atom catalyst (ZnN4-SAC) was discovered to be a robust heterogeneous non-noble catalyst for the oxidative cleavage of C-N bonds in N-alkylamines with O2 molecules. Experimental results and DFT calculation revealed that ZnN4-SAC not only activates O2 to generate superoxide radicals (·O2 -) for the oxidation of N-alkylamines to generate imine intermediates (C=N), but the single Zn atoms also served as the Lewis acid sites to promote the cleavage of C=N bonds in imine intermediates, including the first addition of H2O to generate α-hydroxylamine intermediates and the following C-N bond cleavage via a H atom transfer process.

Abstract
The cleavage and functionalization of recalcitrant carbon─carbon bonds is highly challenging but represents a very powerful tool for value-added transformation of feedstock chemicals. Here, an enzyme-mimic iron single-atom catalyst (SAC) bearing iron (III) nitride (FeN3) motifs was prepared and found to be robust for cleavage and cyanation of carbon-carbon bonds in secondary alcohols and ketones. High nitrile yields are obtained with a wide variety of functional groups. The prepared FeN3-SAC exhibits high enzyme-like activity and is capable of generating a dioxygen-to-superoxide radical at room temperature, while the commonly reported FeN4-SAC bearing FeN4 motifs was inactive. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals that the activation energy of dioxygen activation and the activation energy of the rate-determining step of nitrile formation are lower over FeN3-SAC than FeN4-SAC. In addition, DFT calculation also explains the catalyst's high selectivity for nitriles.

Rational highly dispersed ruthenium for reductive catalytic fractionation of lignocellulose. Nat Commun 2022; 13:4716.

Abstract
Producing monomeric phenols from lignin biopolymer depolymerization in a detachable and efficient manner comes under the spotlight on the fullest utilization of sustainable lignocellulosic biomass. Here, we report a low-loaded and highly dispersed Ru anchored on a chitosan-derived N-doped carbon catalyst (RuN/ZnO/C), which exhibits outstanding performance in the reductive catalytic fractionation of lignocellulose. Nearly theoretical maximum yields of phenolic monomers from lignin are achieved, corresponding to TON as 431 molphenols molRu−1, 20 times higher than that from commercial Ru/C catalyst; high selectivity toward propyl end-chained guaiacol and syringol allow them to be readily purified. The RCF leave high retention of (hemi)cellulose amenable to enzymatic hydrolysis due to the successful breakdown of biomass recalcitrance. The RuN/ZnO/C catalyst shows good stability in recycling experiments as well as after a harsh hydrothermal treatment, benefiting from the coordination of Ru species with N atoms. Characterizations of the RuN/ZnO/C imply a transformation from Ru single atoms to nanoclusters under current reaction conditions. Time-course experiment, as well as reactivity screening of a series of lignin model compounds, offer insight into the mechanism of current RCF over RuN/ZnO/C. This work opens a new opportunity for achieving the valuable aromatic products from lignin and promoting the industrial economic feasibility of lignocellulosic biomass. Lignin valorization becomes the spotlight on the full utilization of biomass. Here, the authors report a highly dispersed Ru catalyst for reductive catalytic fractionation of lignocellulose, which affords monophenols in theoretical maximum yields, along with high preservation of carbohydrate.

Abstract
N-heteroarenes represents one of the most important chemicals in pharmaceuticals and other bio-active molecules, which can be easily accessed from the oxidation of N-heterocycles over metal catalysts. Herein, the metal-free oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles into N-heteroarenes was developed using molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant. The nitrogen-doped carbon materials were facilely prepared via the simple pyrolysis process using biomass (carboxymethyl cellulose sodium) and dicyandiamide as the carbon and nitrogen source, respectively, and they were discovered to be robust for the oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles into N-heteroarenes under mild conditions (80 °C under 1 bar O2 ) with water as the green solvent. Diverse N-heterocycles including 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines, indolines and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxalines were smoothly converted into N-heteroarenes with high to excellent yields (76->99 %). Superoxide radical (⋅O2 - ) and hydroxyl radical (⋅OH) were probed as the reactive oxygen species for the oxidation of N-heterocycles into N-heteroarenes. More importantly, the nitrogen-doped carbon catalyst can be reused with a high stability. The method provides an environmentally friendly and economical route to access important N-hetero-aromatic commodities.

Abstract
Selective oxidative cleavage of the C(CO)–C bond in ketones to access esters is a highly attractive strategy for upgrading ketones. However, it remains a great challenge to realize this important transformation over heterogeneous metal-free catalysts. Herein, we designed a series of porous and ultrathin N-doped carbon nanosheets (denoted as CN-X, where X represents the pyrolysis temperature) as heterogeneous metal-free catalysts. It was observed that the fabricated CN-800 could efficiently catalyze the oxidative cleavage of the C(CO)–C bond in various ketones to generate the corresponding methyl esters at 130 °C without using any additional base. Detailed investigations revealed that the higher content and electron density of the graphitic-N species contributed to the excellent performance of CN-800. Besides, the high surface area, affording active sites that are more easily accessed, could also enhance the catalytic activity. Notably, the catalysts have great potential for practical applications because of some obvious advantages, such as low cost, neutral reaction conditions, heterogeneous nature, high efficiency, and broad ketone scope. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work on efficient synthesis of methyl esters via oxidative esterification of ketones over heterogeneous metal-free catalysts. Ultrathin and metal-free N-doped carbon nanosheets showed high activity and selectivity for oxidative esterification of ketones via C(CO)–C bond cleavage to access methyl esters.![]()

Abstract
According to the requirements for sustainable development, reclaiming fine chemicals from wastewater under mild conditions is an extremely significant line of research. A low-cost and high-efficiency polydentate chelate- and polymeric Co(ii)-based complex (Co-L)-loaded C3N4 photocatalyst (Co-L/C3N4) was constructed and used to convert aromatic mandelic acids in wastewater at room temperature. The BET specific surface area increased from 28 m2 g-1 to 68 m2 g-1, indicating its excellent absorptive character. The light absorption range of Co-L/C3N4 reached 650 nm, while the band energy reduced to 2.30 eV, which caused a significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity. The conversion of substituted mandelic acids was more than 90% due to the photoactivity of Co-L/C3N4. Time-resolved PL spectra indicated the remarkable separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs in Co-L/C3N4. Furthermore, the UV-vis and in situ FTIR spectra indicated the formation of aldehyde groups in the selective oxidation process, which provided support for the plausible catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
A metal-free oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles utilizing a nitrogen/phosphorus co-doped porous carbon (NPCH) catalyst is reported. The optimal material is robust against traditional poisoning agents and shows high antioxidant resistance. It exhibits good catalytic performance for the synthesis of various quinoline, indole, isoquinoline, and quinoxaline ‘on-water’ under air atmosphere. The active sites in the NPCH catalyst are proposed to be phosphorus and nitrogen centers within the porous carbon network. Green oxidations made easy. Metal-free dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles are possible in using N,P-co-doped porous carbon materials “on” water using air.![]()
