TL;DR: A novel electrophilic-type trifluoromethanesulfonyl hypervalent iodonium ylide reagent was designed and reacted well with various nucleophiles to afford the desired CF3S-substituted products.
Abstract: A novel electrophilic-type trifluoromethylthiolation reagent, a trifluoromethanesulfonyl hypervalent iodonium ylide, was designed and reacted well with various nucleophiles to afford the desired CF3S-substituted products. In situ reduction of the trifluoromethanesulfonyl group to give the trifluoromethylthio group, which is the key step in this process, was realized in the presence of copper(I) chloride.

TL;DR: In this article, the intramolecular nonbonded 1,5-type S···O interactions are recognized in the crystalline structures of the (acylimino)thiadiazoline derivatives (1−3) as angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
Abstract: The intramolecular nonbonded 1,5-type S···O interactions are recognized in the crystalline structures of the (acylimino)thiadiazoline derivatives (1−3) as angiotensin II receptor antagonists. The relative stability of the nonbonded 1,5-type S···O interaction was investigated using the X-ray crystallographic analyses and the ab initio MO calculations (HF/3-21G*, 6-31G*, and 6-311+G**) of the simplified model compounds (6, 7, and 9). The concept of mimic-fused bicyclic heterocycles consisting of fairly stable nonbonded S···O interaction seems to be an efficient approach toward the design and development of various drugs.

TL;DR: Metal-organic frameworks are porous materials that have potential for applications such as gas storage and separation, as well as catalysis, and methods are being developed for making nanocrystals and supercrystals of MOFs for their incorporation into devices.
Abstract: Crystalline metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are formed by reticular synthesis, which creates strong bonds between inorganic and organic units. Careful selection of MOF constituents can yield crystals of ultrahigh porosity and high thermal and chemical stability. These characteristics allow the interior of MOFs to be chemically altered for use in gas separation, gas storage, and catalysis, among other applications. The precision commonly exercised in their chemical modification and the ability to expand their metrics without changing the underlying topology have not been achieved with other solids. MOFs whose chemical composition and shape of building units can be multiply varied within a particular structure already exist and may lead to materials that offer a synergistic combination of properties.

TL;DR: This critical review shows the basis of photocatalytic water splitting and experimental points, and surveys heterogeneous photocatalyst materials for water splitting into H2 and O2, and H2 or O2 evolution from an aqueous solution containing a sacrificial reagent.
Abstract: This critical review shows the basis of photocatalytic water splitting and experimental points, and surveys heterogeneous photocatalyst materials for water splitting into H2 and O2, and H2 or O2 evolution from an aqueous solution containing a sacrificial reagent Many oxides consisting of metal cations with d0 and d10 configurations, metal (oxy)sulfide and metal (oxy)nitride photocatalysts have been reported, especially during the latest decade The fruitful photocatalyst library gives important information on factors affecting photocatalytic performances and design of new materials Photocatalytic water splitting and H2 evolution using abundant compounds as electron donors are expected to contribute to construction of a clean and simple system for solar hydrogen production, and a solution of global energy and environmental issues in the future (361 references)
