To meet the fast-growing need for broad applications in remote sensing, novel optoelectronic devices with high detectivity in full bands and room temperature operation are urgently desired. This paper reports our progress in developing a specially designed photovoltaic detector by integrating a monolayer graphene onto a silicon-based nanopillar array standing on a p-n junction. Optoelectronic measurements of the fabricated detectors show that the monolayer graphene plays a critical role in device performance. Compared with the one without the graphene covering, the new device demonstrates significant improvements in the specific detectivity of 1.43 × 1013 Jones and the responsivity exceeding ∼106 V/W with a reduced leakage current corresponding to a quantum efficiency of 74.8% at 860 nm wavelength. Moreover, such sensing performance remained unaffected over the entire band from 450 to 1100 nm at room temperature, which is suitable for broadband imaging applications.High-value 1-azaspirocyclic scaffolds have been made from simple and readily accessible furan precursors in a single operation. The protocol is a one-pot sequence using highly sustainable conditions (oxygen, visible light, and a favored green solvent) that leads to a dramatic increase in molecular complexity. The initial substrates can include functionalities that are suitable for further elaboration; in this way, the pruned polycyclic skeletons of the stemonamine, cylindricine, and lepadiformine natural products were rapidly accessed.5-Hydroxyoxazole-4-carboxylic acid residues were advanced as substructures within the secondary bacterial metabolites precolibactins 969 and 795a. However, oxazoles containing both 5-hydroxy and 4-carboxy substituents are unprecedented. We have found these oxazoles are unstable with respect to hydrolytic ring opening and decarboxylation. Comparison of reported and theoretical 13C NMR chemical shifts between synthetic intermediates and the isolates revealed discrepancies in the oxazole region. These results suggest that precolibactins 969 and 795a may not contain 5-hydroxyoxazole-4-carboxylic acid residues.Liquid metal-based applications are limited by the wetting nature of polymers toward surface-oxidized gallium-based liquid metals. This work demonstrates that a 120 s CF4/O2 plasma treatment of polymer surfaces-such as poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), SU8, S1813, and polyimide-converts these previously wetting surfaces to nonwetting surfaces for gallium-based liquid metals. Static and advancing contact angles of all plasma-treated surfaces are >150°, and receding contact angles are >140°, with contact angle hysteresis in the range of 8.2-10.7°, collectively indicating lyophobic behavior. This lyophobic behavior is attributed to the plasma simultaneously fluorinating the surface while creating sub-micron scale roughness. Tofacitinib purchase X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show a large presence of fluorine at the surface, indicating fluorination of surface methyl groups, while atomic force microscopy (AFM) results show that plasma-treated surfaces have an order of magnitude greater surface roughness than pristine surfaces, indicating a Cassie-Baxter state, which suggests that surface roughness is the primary cause of the nonwetting property, with surface chemistry making a smaller contribution. Solid surface free energy values for all plasma-treated surfaces were found to be generally lower than the pristine surfaces, indicating that this process can be used to make similar classes of polymers nonwetting to gallium-based liquid metals.Vinylboronates and alkylboronates are key components in variegated transformations in all aspects of chemical science. This work describes a sequential radical difunctionalization strategy for the construction of fluorine-containing vinylboronates and alkylboronates with the integrated redox-active reagent N-trifluoromethylthiophthalimide. This multifunctional N-S precursor offers a scalable and practical protocol for the trifluoromethylthiolation-borylation of unsaturated hydrocarbons in a highly regio- and stereoselective fashion, which can be further converted into valuable synthons via boryl migration.In the absence of effective treatment, COVID-19 is likely to remain a global disease burden. Compounding this threat is the near certainty that novel coronaviruses with pandemic potential will emerge in years to come. Pan-coronavirus drugs-agents active against both SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses-would address both threats. A strategy to develop such broad-spectrum inhibitors is to pharmacologically target binding sites on SARS-CoV-2 proteins that are highly conserved in other known coronaviruses, the assumption being that any selective pressure to keep a site conserved across past viruses will apply to future ones. Here we systematically mapped druggable binding pockets on the experimental structure of 15 SARS-CoV-2 proteins and analyzed their variation across 27 α- and β-coronaviruses and across thousands of SARS-CoV-2 samples from COVID-19 patients. We find that the two most conserved druggable sites are a pocket overlapping the RNA binding site of the helicase nsp13 and the catalytic site of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase nsp12, both components of the viral replication-transcription complex. We present the data on a public web portal (https//www.thesgc.org/SARSCoV2_pocketome/), where users can interactively navigate individual protein structures and view the genetic variability of drug-binding pockets in 3D.A mild transition-metal- and photosensitizer-free photoredox system based on the combination of NaI and PPh3 was found to enable highly selective reduction of nitroarenes. This protocol tolerates a broad range of reducible functional groups such as halogen (Cl, Br, and even I), aldehyde, ketone, carboxyl, and cyano. Moreover, the photoredox catalysis with NaI and stoichiometric PPh3 provides also an alternative entry to Cadogan-type reductive amination when o-nitrobiarenes were used.We report here a three-component, Cu(I)-catalyzed hexadehydro-Diels-Alder (HDDA) benzyne 1,2-difunctionalization reaction. This protocol allowed the introduction of two different carbon-based substituents onto the in situ-generated benzyne. These substituents were terminal monoynes or diynes partnered with propargylic, benzylic, or allylic chlorides. An example of a sequential HDDA reaction is demonstrated using the product of a 1,3-diyne and a propargylic halide, itself a newly created HDDA precursor.
