To further meet the application needs of lithium-ion batteries, developing cathodes with higher voltage and operating temperatures has become a primary goal. However, LiCoO2 encounter structural issues, particle fracture, side reactions during high-voltage high-temperature cycling. Thus, this work designs novel interface engineering approach involving near-surface Li layer regulation enhances stability R3̄m layered structure, suppressing intergranular cracking. An undistorted surface reduced...
We report the first high-resolution structural data for β/γ-peptide 13-helix (i,i+3 C═O···H—N H-bonds), a secondary structure that is formed by oligomers with 1:1 alternation of β- and γ-amino acid residues. Our characterization includes both crystallophaphic 2D NMR data. Previous studies suggested β/γ-peptides constructed from conformationally flexible residues adopt different helical in solution. design features preorganized γ-residues, which strongly promote 13-helical folding β/γ backbone.
In recent years, polymer films containing deep color and near-infrared (NIR)-reflective pigments have received much attention for their potential applications in energy-saving fields. However, practical environments, dust present the air is easily adsorbed adheres to surface of these films, thus gradually reducing NIR reflectance. this work, black or deep-red infrared-reflective were firstly mixed with melted low-density polyethylene (LDPE) then resulting composite was thermally pressed on a...
Direct condensation of β-arylketones with acetamide afforded both Z and E enamides. The Z-configured substrates underwent hydrogenation excellent enantioselectivity by using the Rh/tangphos catalytic system (see scheme; tangphos=1,1′-di-tert-butyl-[2,2′]-diphospholanyl). product β-arylisopropylamines are important precursors to several drugs.
Valuable chiral building blocks were synthesized with excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity through tandem hydrogenation of (Z)-β-ketoenamides, which in turn prepared by the direct condensation 1,3-diketones acetamide (see scheme). The amino alcohol products can be converted into useful γ-aryl isobutylamines hydrogenolysis Pd/C. R1=aryl, heteroaryl, methyl; R2=alkyl.
New couple: A novel combination of phosphine and phosphoramidite groups is applied to the preparation pseudo-C2-symmetric triphosphorous bidentate phosphine–phosphoramidite ligands 1. Unprecedented enantioselectivities toward ortho-substituted aryl enamides a 1-naphthylenamide in Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions are obtained.

The results suggest that substitution pattern γ-residue has profound effect on propensity Detailed facts importance specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such...
An asymmetric synthesis of two new diastereomeric γ-amino acids is described. Both molecules contain a cyclohexyl ring to limit conformational flexibility about the Cα–Cβ bond; they differ in having cis vs trans stereochemistry on ring. Residues derived from γ isomer are shown support helical secondary structures α/γ-peptide oligomers.
Recently, infrared reflective pigments possessing deep colors have attracted much attention. However, in polluted air, the coatings consisting of such are easily contaminated which abates reflectivity. In this work, black and pigments, fluorine silicon sol a small number SiO2 nanoparticles were introduced into waterborne epoxy resin emulsion then coated on an aluminum plate. After drying, with superhydrophobic (SH) properties obtained. The average near-infrared (NIR) reflectivity coating...
