Abstract
Hydrogen storage has long been a priority on the renewable energy research agenda. Due to its high volumetric and gravimetric hydrogen density, MgH2 is a desirable candidate for solid-state hydrogen storage. However, its practical use is constrained by high thermal stability and sluggish kinetics. Here, PdNi bilayer metallenes are reported as catalysts for hydrogen storage of bulk-MgH2 near ambient temperature. Unprecedented 422 K beginning dehydrogenation temperature and up to 6.36 wt.% reliable hydrogen storage capacity are achieved. Fast hydrogen desorption is also provided by the system (5.49 wt.% in 1 h, 523 K). The in situ generated PdNi alloy clusters with suitable d-band centers are identified as the main active sites during the de/re-hydrogenation process by aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy and theoretical simulations, while other active species including Pd/Ni pure phase clusters and Pd/Ni single atoms obtained via metallene ball milling, also enhance the reaction. These findings present fundamental insights into active species identification and rational design of highly efficient hydrogen storage materials.

Abstract
Twenty-three novel trifluoromethyl pyrimidine derivatives containing an amide moiety were designed and synthesized through four-step reactions and evaluated for their antifungal, insecticidal, and anticancer properties. Bioassay results indicated that some of the title compounds exhibited good in vitro antifungal activities against Botryosphaeria dothidea (B. dothidea), Phompsis sp., Botrytis cinereal (B. cinerea), Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (C. gloeosporioides), Pyricutaria oryzae (P. oryzae), and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (S. sclerotiorum) at 50 μg/ml. Meanwhile, the synthesized compounds showed moderate insecticidal activities against Mythimna separata (M. separata) and Spdoptera frugiperda (S. frugiperda) at 500 μg/ml, which were lower than those of chlorantraniliprole. In addition, the synthesized compounds indicated certain anticancer activities against PC3, K562, Hela, and A549 at 5 μg/ml, which were lower than those of doxorubicin. Notably, this work is the first report on the antifungal, insecticidal, and anticancer activities of trifluoromethyl pyrimidine derivatives bearing an amide moiety.

Abstract
In this study, twenty novel pyrimidine derivatives bearing a 1,3,4-thiadiazole skeleton were designed and synthesized. Then their antifungal activity against Botrytis cinereal (B. cinereal), Botryosphaeria dothidea (B. dothidea), and Phomopsis sp. were determined using the poison plate technique. Biological test results showed that compound 6h revealed lower EC50 values (25.9 and 50.8 μg/ml) on Phompsis sp. than those of pyrimethanil (32.1 and 62.8 μg/ml).

Abstract
Seventeen novel N-phenylbenzamide derivatives bearing a trifluoromethylpyrimidine moiety were synthesized via four-step reactions. Their antifungal and insecticidal properties were evaluated. Antifungal test results demonstrated that some of the synthesized compounds showed better in vitro bioactivities against Phomopsis sp., Botryosphaeria dothidea (B. dothidea), and Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) at 50 μg/mL than pyrimethanil. Unfortunately, the synthesized compounds revealed lower insecticidal activities against Spodoptera frugiperda (S. frugiperda) and Mythimna separata (M. separata) at 500 μg/mL than chlorantraniliprole.

Abstract
Target identification is one of the most important bases for novel pesticide development; pyruvate kinase (PK) was discovered as a potent fungicide target in our previous studies. To continue the PK-based fungicide development, novel isothiazole-purine derivatives were rationally designed and synthesized. Bioassay results showed that compound 5ai displayed excellent in vitro activity against Rhizoctonia solani with an EC50 of 1.5 μg/mL, which was superior to those of positive controls diflumetorim with its EC50 of 19.8 μg/mL and PK-based lead YZK-C22 with its EC50 of 4.2 μg/mL. Compounds 3b (5.2 μg/mL) and 3c (4.5 μg/mL) displayed better activities against Gibberella zeae with their EC50s falling between 4.0 and 5.5 μg/mL, while YZK-C22 showed an EC50 of 6.4 μg/mL. In addition, 5ah exhibited promising in vivo activity against Erysiphe graminis and Puccinia sorghi Schw. with 100% efficacy at 10 μg/mL and 90% efficacy at 2 μg/mL against P. sorghi Schw. Compound 5ai showed good PK inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 38.8 μmol/L, and it was well docked into the active site of the target enzyme PK, which was slightly more active than YZK-C22 with its IC50 of 42.4 μmol/L. Our studies discovered that isothiazole-purines were PK-based fungicidal leads deserving of further study.

Abstract
In this study, 17 novel pyrimidine derivatives containing an amide moiety were synthesized. Then their in vitro antifungal activities against Botryosphaeria dothidea (B. dothidea), Phomopsis sp., and Botrytis cinereal (B. cinereal) were determined. A preliminary biological test showed that compounds 5-bromo-2-fluoro-N-(2-((2-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)benzamide (5f) and 5-bromo-2-fluoro-N-(3-((2-methyl-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)benzamide (5o) exhibited higher antifungal activity against Phomopsis sp., with an inhibition rate of 100% compared to that of Pyrimethanil at 85.1%. In particular, compound 5o exhibited excellent antifungal activity against Phompsis sp., with the EC50 value of 10.5 μg/ml, which was even better than that of Pyrimethanil (32.1 μg/ml). As far as we know, this is the first report on the antifungal activities against B. dothidea, Phomopsis sp., and B. cinereal of this series of pyrimidine derivatives containing an amide moiety.
