Integrating industrial sectors in the transition to more sustainable chemicals
Transitioning to more sustainable chemicals will require the challenging replacement of fossil resources with renewable carbon and energy sources in their production. Now, integrating industrial sectors offers an interim solution to mitigate emissions in the chemical industry until technologies for closing the carbon loop can be deployed at scale.

Isolation of a pentadienyl-type radical featuring a central secondary carbon
The isolation of secondary and primary carbon radical species is challenging, owing to their instability. Now the reduction of an acyclic bis(imino)carbene conjugate acid enables the isolation of a stable pentadienyl-type radical. In silico and in vitro probing of its properties reveal a propensity to act as a secondary carbon radical.

Stereospecific syn -dihalogenations and regiodivergent syn -interhalogenation of alkenes via vicinal double electrophilic activation strategy
Restricted reaction mechanism of anti-dihalogenation of alkenes makes it challenging to alter the diastereochemical course into the complementary syn-dihalogenation process. Here, the authors report a conceptually distinctive strategy for the simultaneous double electrophilic activation of the two alkene carbons from the same side to realize syn-dihalogenation.

Organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) have attracted extensive research interest in recent years because of their light weight, low cost, and large area preparation at low temperatures, especially organic thin film transistors based on high dielectric constant ( κ ) organic dielectric materials with a flat surface prepared by a low-temperature solution method. Here, a UV cross-linked fluorine-containing polyurethane (PU) dielectric layer quickly curing in only 5 min at room temperature was designed and prepared by adding different contents of hexafluorobutyl acrylate through a thiolene click reaction. The spin-coated films were flat and possessed superior solvent resistance, thermal stability, and dielectric qualities. The C8-BTBT based OTFTs prepared with fluorinated PU (FPU) as the dielectric layer exhibited excellent electrical properties, with the highest mobility of 3.53 cm 2 V −1 s −1 , a switching ratio of 2.8 × 10 6 , the least subthreshold swing of 0.4 V dec −1 , a low threshold voltage of −0.3 V, and almost no hysteresis. The results show that the comprehensive performance of FPU is obviously better than that of pure PU, so polymer fluorination is an effective method to optimize the dielectric constant and device performance. These UV cross-linked FPU dielectric materials can be applied in many applications such as flexible electronic devices in the future.

Surface chemistry is also central to the preparation and operation of sorbents, solid reactants, catalysts for clean fuels and chemicals production, pollution cleanup, photocatalysts, fuel cells, and batteries. The synthesis, stabilization, and use of all forms of nanomaterial also involve a great deal of surface chemistry.
Oxide surface chemistry is also crucial for making and using catalysts for the manufacture of chemicals and for pollution cleanup, and for the production and use of fuel cells, solar fuel photocatalysts, batteries, sorbents, and solid reactants. Thin films of oxides must be designed and grown for everything from microelectronic devices ...

Jerome Delhommelle. Surface chemistry has been the focus of intense research in recent years, as this field of chemistry is central to a wide range of applications in catalysis and materials science. As a result, the molecular modelling and simulation of surface processes and, more generally, of surface chemistry, has recently made great strides.
Surface chemistry plays a key role in modern applications of polymer materials. Polymers exhibit moderate surface properties; therefore, they do often not meet the desired criteria for particular applications. The polymer materials should often be pre-treated with chemical substances to achieve good adhesion of various coatings, appropriate ...
