Dual-engine-driven synthesis of unsaturated esters over channel-expanding Cu-Cs catalysts
This study presents a one-step catalytic synthesis of unsaturated esters (methyl acrylate, MA; methyl methacrylate, MMA) from methanol (MeOH, C1 source) and methyl acetate (MAc) via a Cu-Cs dual-engine-driven (DED)…
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Press Release
U.S. ENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION WASHINGTON DC 20585 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 10, 2025 The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects the Brent crude oil price to fall to near $60…
Three-state molecular switch based on terarylene photo- or redox-induced reversible isomerisation
Multi-addressable molecular photoswitches whose isomerisation can be triggered not only by light, but also by other stimuli are appealing for the development of novel smart materials as well as for…
Enhanced Recyclability of Methacrylic Resins by Copolymerization or Pendant Modification Using Trityl Esters
The conversion of pendant groups into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to triphenylmethyl (trityl) esters facilitates thermal depolymerization, enabling the recovery of the monomer, methyl methacrylate (MMA). While PMMA offers potential for…

Self-supplying coreactant radical and structural distortion induced by carbonate ligand in metal–organic framework for anomalous deep-red Self-electrochemiluminescence
Self-electrochemiluminescence (self-ECL) can deal with the problems of limited electron transport efficiency, reduced signal stability, and redundant ECL processes. A feasible solution is to assemble the luminescent components and coreactant…
Molecular Engineering of Bis(triphenylamine)-Modified Fluorene Luminophore for Immensely Enriching Anisotropic Force-Triggered High-Contrast Tricolor Fluorescent Molecular Switches Library
The preparation of anisotropic mechanical force-triggering high-contrast tricolor fluorescent solid switches is very significative yet extremely challenging. Herein, we report a high-efficiency molecular engineering strategy to develop mechanochromic compounds capable…
Molecular Machine Learning Approach to Enantioselective C–H Bond Activation Reactions: From Generative AI to Experimental Validation
Molecular machine learning (ML) has gained considerable attention in recent years. Developing ML algorithms for chemical reaction prediction is a formidable task, due to the small-sized reaction data it often…
2D Spatial Structure Favored Tandem Catalysis Boosted Methane Direct Transformation to Methanol over Cu-FER
Direct transformation of methane into methanol (DMTM) remains a significant challenge of C1 chemistry. Herein, we investigate the continuous N2O-DMTM over Cu-FER zeolite. A two-dimensional (2D) spatial structure favored tandem…
