  • The photochemical transformations of aryl thiols to other functional groups have been scarcely explored. Here the authors present a carboxylation of aryl thiols using 1 atmosphere of CO2 under photoirradiative conditions, a methodology which can be extended to the degradation of polyphenylene sulfide.

  • In two-dimensional semiconductors, light can generate spin polarisations, however this effect is typically limited to low temperatures. By combining Lead Iodide (PbI2) with transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), the authors demonstrate room temperature light induced near-unity spin polarisations.

  • Inverse electron-demand cycloadditions in palladium catalysis are inherently limited by the linear selectivity in the allylic substitution step. To overcome this issue, the authors report a synergetic iridium (branched-selective) and amine catalysis in [4+2] cycloadditions of vinyl aminoalcohols with carbonyls.

  • The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) has potential for the realization of high conversion efficiency optoelectronic devices. Here, the authors show that combined in-plane and out-of-plane charge polarizations in MoS2/black phosphorus heterostructures can enhance the BPVE and reduce the extrinsic response times down to 2.2 ns.

  • CO2 conversion to valuable chemicals is of great interest in sustainable chemistry. Now, β-amino acids are synthesized by a dual catalytic strategy that enables the aminocarboxylation of alkenes using CO2, proceeding via alkene radical anion intermediates that are generated using a designed binaphthol-derived photoredox catalyst.

  • Boron is a common element found in various minerals; however, it is not used in life-creating machinery in nature. In a new study, boron enzymes have been created by introducing a boronic acid-containing non-canonical amino acid into an artificial enzyme scaffold. Further development via directed evolution enabled the selection of new-to-nature stereoselective chemistry.

  • The knowledge of atomic structure and structural instability of hybrid perovskites is crucial to understand their photoelectric properties and failure mechanism. Here, the authors utilise low-dose TEM imaging technique to investigate the atomic structure and decomposition pathway of MAPbI3 at the atomic scale.
