Highly Efficient Hydrogenation of CO2-Containing Syngas to Liquid Fuels over FeMnK Catalysts

Abstract Converting CO2-containing syngas directly to liquid fuels provides an effective route for carbon-efficient fuel production. However, it is challenging to achieve the simultaneous conversion of CO and CO2 into liquid fuels due to the different activation pathways. Herein,...

Hydrophobic promoter in physical proximity stabilizes cobalt catalysts for durable Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

Cobalt catalysts have been widely studied for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, yet they gradually deactivate under water-rich reaction conditions. Current stabilization strategies rely on complex catalyst compositions or even use noble-metal promoters. Here, we demonstrate that cobalt...

Stereoelectronically Controlled Regioselective Allylation of Aldehyde Under Photoredox/Chromium Catalysis

ABSTRACT The formation of structurally defined α,γ‐disubstituted allylmetallic intermediate which could undergo regioselective allylation with carbonyl compounds remains a formidable challenge in synthetic chemistry. Although regioselective in situ formation of α,γ‐disubstituted...

Carbon Dots as ElectrostaticallyDriven Base-SelectiveChemical Compilers for Programmable Nucleic Acid Condensation

Abstract Cells execute complex biological functions through programmed biomolecular condensation, yet a general and programmable strategy for nucleic acid condensation in vitro remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate that carbon dots (CDs) function as an electrostatic-driven ve...

An N-acetylated daropeptide modulates nematode development

The symbiotic bacterium Photorhabdus is a rich source of bioactive secondary metabolites that mediate tripartite interactions with nematodes and insect hosts. However, natural products of ribosomal origin remain largely underexplored within this ecological niche. Here, we report...
