Discovery on Sulfur-Phenolate Exchange: SuFEx-Derived Dynamic Covalent Reactions and Degradation of SuFEx Polymers

Among known click chemistry, sulfur (VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) reaction is a new generation of click chemistry, in which the S–F bond reacts readily with silyl-protected phenols, phenolates or amines. In 2019, Han Zuilhof’s group discovered that SuFEx reaction is intrinsically an enantiospecific click reaction as a chiral S(VI) center reacts exclusively with inversion of configuration. Th...

Recent Research Progress on Repeated Hydrogen Sulfide Poisoning in the Photic Zone of the Ediacaran Ocean ​

The Ediacaran (635 to 539 million years ago) was a pivotal time period in Earth history, marked by the diversification of macroscopic multicellular eukaryotes (i.e., the “Ediacara biota”). Numerous studies have linked the rise of the Ediacara biota to ocean oxygenation. A relatively large body of geochemical datasets seem to suggest that there were transient (lasting up to a few million years...

New Progress on Room Temperature Electro-synthesis of Nylon-6 Precursors

As one of the essential products of nylon materials, nylon-6 is widely used in the nylon fiber, engineering plastics and film industries. Cyclohexanone oxime is an important precursor for the synthesis of nylon-6, and more than 90% of it is produced by the traditional cyclohexane-hydroxylamine method (Figure 1a) in the world. However, this method needs hazardous hydrogen and corrosive sulphuric...

New Progress in the Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), such as Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases that occur worldwide and influence millions of people. Intestinal milieu disorders are strongly related to the occurrence of IBDs, which results from mucosa destruction, epithelium disruption and tight junction (TJ) proteins loss. Excess of H2S in the intes...
