An efficient organocatalytic system was developed for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO<sub>2</sub> (25–45 °C, 1 atm) in high-to-excellent yields (85–97%). Moreover, 2,6-pyridinedimethanol could be recycled several times without significant loss activity.
We report the observation of magnetic superstructure in a magnetization plateau state SrCu2(BO3)2, frustrated quasi-two-dimensional quantum spin system. The Cu and B nuclear resonance (NMR) spectra at 35 millikelvin indicate an apparently discontinuous phase transition from uniform to modulated near 27 tesla, above which 1/8 full saturation has been observed.

We performed inelastic neutron scattering on the 2D Shastry-Sutherland system SrCu2(11BO3)2 with an exact dimer ground state. Three energy levels at around 3, 5, and 9 meV were observed 1.7 K. The lowest excitation 3.0 is almost dispersionless a bandwidth of 0.2 most, showing significant constraint single-triplet hopping owing to orthogonality neighboring dimers. In contrast, correlated two-triplet excitations 5 exhibit more dispersive behavior.
Giant negative thermal expansion is achieved in antiperovskite manganese nitrides when the sharp volume change associated with magnetic ordering broadened by substitution.

In this study, 13 different chiral 1,3-diamines were synthesized from (-)-cis-2-benzamidocyclohexanecarboxylic acid. They successfully applied as ligands in the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric Henry reaction between benzaldehyde and nitromethane. It was confirmed that enantioselectivity of product could be controlled by substituents on two amino groups. A time-course study revealed a decrease caused spontaneous retro-Henry reaction, which suppressed conducting at 0 °C. This versatile afforded...
