CeO2-x nanorods are functional mimics of natural haloperoxidases. They catalyze the oxidative bromination phenol red to bromophenol blue and signaling molecules involved in bacterial quorum sensing. Laboratory field tests with paint formulations containing 2 wt% show a reduction biofouling comparable Cu2 O, most typical biocidal pigment.
Tetrasubstituted imidazoles can be formed in a photochemical one-pot synthesis from aldehydes, α-aminonitriles, and isoxazoles. Condensation of the first two components produces α-(alkylideneamino)nitriles which react under basic conditions with acylazirines situ by ring transformation isoxazole component. This process includes an unusual cleavage C2–C3 bond acylazirine. The reaction mechanism was studied DFT calculations.
Simultaneous sulfonylation/arylation of styrene derivatives is achieved in a photoredox-catalyzed three-component reaction using visible light.

The catalyst‐free photochemical reaction of trialkylamines and BrCCl 3 induced by visible light was investigated. outcome the found to depend strongly on nature amine substrates. N ‐Methyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinolines give 3,4‐dihydroisoquinolinium salts, whereas aliphatic produce hydrohalide salts streptocyanines as major products. addition KCN inhibits streptocyanine formation, results in clean formation α‐aminonitriles instead. light‐absorbing species underlying mechanism were studied...
Vinylogous Nazarov-type cyclizations yield seven-membered rings from butadienyl vinyl ketones via a photochemical [6π] photocyclization followed by subsequent isomerization steps. The mechanism of this recently developed method was investigated using unrestricted DFT, SF-TDDFT, and CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations, suggesting three different pathways that lead either to pure trans, cis, or mixed cis/trans configured products. Singlet biradicals zwitterions occur as intermediates. computational...
