Light is one of the non-invasive stimuli which can be used in the spatiotemporal control of chemical reactions. Over the past decade, light has found wide applications in polymer science such as polymer synthesis, release of small molecules from polymers and polymeric photosensors etc. Reviews on light-regulated polymerisations have predominately focused on the free radical process. However, the marriage of light to non-radical polymerisations, e.g. ionic, ring-opening, metathesis, step-growth and supramolecular photopolymerisations, has also spurred tremendous research interest to develop materials. These kinds of non-radical photopolymerisations, compared to the free radical approach, are advantageous in overcoming oxygen inhibition, accessing novel polymer structures and fabricating degradable and dynamic polymers. The relevant light-regulation techniques involved in these polymerisations are usually based on photolinking reactions and photoactivation of latent species. These species produce initiators, catalysts or monomers upon light irradiation to manipulate polymer formation. These techniques have been successfully implemented to adapt conditional polymerisations under light, discover novel polymerisation methods and precisely control polymer structures. This review aims to highlight the recent progress in light-regulated non-radical polymerisations in the development of polymerisation techniques as well as the applications in materials science, emphasising the remaining challenges and promising perspective in the relevant fields.The aqueous-phase and surface reactions of ozone (O3) with iodide (I-) in/on seawater have been recently found to be a strong atmospheric source of iodine. In addition, ozone also reacts with I- in solid and aqueous sea-salt aerosol. However, the primary products of the heterogeneous reactions of ozone with I- have not been clarified. In this paper, solid and aqueous KI aerosols have been exposed to ozone in an aerosol flow tube system and I- and iodate (IO3-) concentrations have been measured by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results of these experiments have been combined with a kinetic model to elucidate the primary products of the aqueous and surface reactions. The reaction of ozone with aqueous iodide has been inferred to originate different products depending on whether it occurs at the surface via O3 adsorption (product I2-) or in the aqueous phase via O3 solvation (product IO-). The surface reaction of ozone with solid KI in the presence of water vapor forms KIO3, and other species, which are likely to be gaseous. Although the reactions have been studied in aerosols, the results can be extrapolated to aqueous solutions as well.Interphases formed at battery electrodes are key to enabling energy dense charge storage by acting as protection layers and gatekeeping ion flux into and out of the electrodes. However, our current understanding of these structures and how to control their properties is still limited due to their heterogenous structure, dynamic nature, and lack of analytical techniques to probe their electronic and ionic properties in situ. In this study, we used a multi-functional scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) technique based on an amperometric ion-selective mercury disc-well (HgDW) probe for spatially-resolving changes in interfacial Li+ during solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and for tracking its relationship to the electronic passivation of the interphase. We focused on multi-layer graphene (MLG) as a model graphitic system and developed a method for ion-flux mapping based on pulsing the substrate at multiple potentials with distinct behavior (e.g. insertion-deinsertion). By using a pulsed protocol, we captured the localized uptake of Li+ at the forming SEI and during intercalation, creating activity maps along the edge of the MLG electrode. On the other hand, a redox probe showed passivation by the interphase at the same locations, thus enabling correlations between ion and electron transfer. Our analytical method provided direct insight into the interphase formation process and could be used for evaluating dynamic interfacial phenomena and improving future energy storage technologies.α-Diazo quinones were applied in an Ir(iii)-catalyzed direct C-H functionalization assisted by N-phenylacetamide for the construction of highly functionalized 2-hydroxy-2'-amino-1,1'-biaryl scaffolds in good to excellent yields. This strategy features operational simplicity, atom- and step-economy and high efficiency.Lithium-ion batteries have proven themselves to be indispensable among modern day society. Demands stemming from consumer electronics and renewable energy systems have pushed researchers to strive for new electrochemical technologies. PARP inhibitor To this end, the advent of anionic redox, that is, the sequential or simultaneous redox of the cation and anion in a transition metal oxide based cathode for a Li-ion battery, has garnered much attention due to the enhanced specific capacities. Unfortunately, the higher energy densities are plagued with problems associated with the irreversibility of anionic redox. Much effort has been placed on finding a suitable composition of transition metal oxide, with some groups identifying the underlying features and relationship for anion redox and cationic redox to occur reversibly. Accordingly, it is timely to review anionic redox in terms of what anionic redox is with emphasis on the mechanism and the evidence underlying its discovery and validation. To follow will be a section defining the nature of the transition metal and oxygen bond accompanied by three subsequent sections bridging the redox spectrum from pure anionic, to a mix of cationic and anionic and pure cationic.Nanoparticle tracers with small sizes and large magnetization are critical for biomedical imaging and especially for magnetic particle imaging (MPI). Small size is important for accessing future intracellular and neurological in vivo applications Here, we show less then 15 nm nanoparticles made of zero valent iron cores, iron oxide shells and coated with a strongly binding brush co-polymer are effective MPI tracers. The small nanoparticle cores create a hydrodynamic diameter that is half of the state-of-the-art iron oxide tracers while the strongly magnetic zero valent iron maintains similar MPI signal magnitude and resolution.
