Diversity-oriented synthesis of stereodefined tetrasubstituted alkenes via a modular alkyne gem-addition strategy by Xuan Di, Sitian Zhou, Yali Qin, Wenjun Li, Yue Zhang, Jie Zhang, Xu Shen, Jie Han, Jin Xie, Hongming Jin

“…Coupled with subsequent C-B and C-Se bond transformations, this 1,1-addition protocol constitutes a modular access to stereodefined all-carbon tetrasubstituted alkenes. The merit of this approach is demonstrated by programmed assembly of diverse functionalized multi-arylated alkenes, especially enabling the stereospecific synthesis of all six possible stereoisomers of tetraarylethene (TAE) derived from the random permutation of four distinct aryl substituents around the double bond. …”

One-Step Synthesis of TiO2/Perlite Composites by Flame Spray Pyrolysis and Their Photocatalytic Behavior by M. Giannouri, Th. Kalampaliki, N. Todorova, T. Giannakopoulou, N. Boukos, D. Petrakis, T. Vaimakis, C. Trapalis

“…The UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra of the TiO2/perlite composites revealed up to 70% reflection that was connected to the presence of the gray perlite and superficial carbon. The best photocatalytic activity of the composites was connected to almost equal anatase-rutile ratio and possible synergetic effect of the two TiO2 phases.…”
