The research team led by Professor Chi Zhang, Member of Academia Europaea, Member of German National Academy of Science and Engineering, and Founding Dean & Academic Committee Chair of the School of Chemical Science and Engineering of Tongji University, discussed and elucidated the formation and transition mechanism of polymorphic nitrate supramolecules and the correlation between polymorphic ...
2025-04-28The [1,2]-Brook rearrangement, widely used in organic synthesis, involves the base-mediated rearrangement of a nucleophilic site from an oxygen atom to an adjacent carbon atom. One of its most notable variants, the [1,2]-Phospha-Brook rearrangement, has also drawn significant attention. However, the reliance on pentavalent phosphates in this transformation has posed limitations to the developme...
2025-04-25Single-molecule magnets (SMMs), as nano-objects possessing magnetic bistability characteristics, are promising to be the basic structural units for the next generation of high-density registers or quantum information processing. With the discovery of various types of organometallic lanthanide-based single-molecule magnets in recent years, their high blocking temperatures and sizable spin relaxa...
2025-04-03On April 1st, Professor Zhao Guohua’s team from the School of Chemical Science and Engineering at Tongji University, published groundbreaking findings in the prestigious international chemical journal of Angewandte Chemie International Edition. The electrocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) through the two-electron oxygen reduction pathway represents a green production process that...
2025-04-03On March 18th, Professor Liu Mingxian's team from the school of Chemical Science and Engineering, published groundbreaking findings in the prestigious international chemical journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. Rechargeable zinc metal batteries (ZMBs) have emerged as highly promising energy storage devices due to their low operation potential, high power density, and specific capaci...
2025-03-20Graphical AbstractThe σ-π Hyperconjugation gives the covalent organic good solid fluorescence performance, and its electron cloud shape is like a lotus flower. High-quality solid fluorescence can be used for sound sensor parts. TOC Figure is obtained by combining the Chinese classical lifted lotus flower and the flying sky of playing flute. AbstractRealizing efficient solid-state fluor...
2025-03-05SummaryExtensive research has been conducted on chiral porphyrin-metal complex (M = Co, Rh, Ru, Fe)-catalyzed asymmetric cyclopropanation of alkenes. However, the corresponding iridium complex has scarcely been exploited for this purpose. We report herein that the reaction of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl (TCE) α-aryldiazoacetates 1 with alkenes 2 in the presence of a catalytic amount of [Ir(Por∗)(CO)...
