44 eV, in excellent agreement with composite methods and coupled cluster calculations, but considerably higher than the literature reference (1.1 eV).Avobenzone (AB) is a widely used UVA filter known to undergo irreversible photodegradation. Here, we investigate the detailed pathways by which AB photodegrades by applying UV laser-interfaced mass spectrometry to protonated AB ions. Gas-phase infrared multiple-photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectra obtained with the free electron laser for infrared experiments, FELIX, (600-1800 cm-1) are also presented to confirm the geometric structures. The UV gas-phase absorption spectrum (2.5-5 eV) of protonated AB contains bands that correspond to selective excitation of either the enol or diketo forms, allowing us to probe the resulting, tautomer-dependent photochemistry. Numerous photofragments (i.e., photodegradants) are directly identified for the first time, with m/z 135 and 161 dominating, and m/z 146 and 177 also appearing prominently. Analysis of the production spectra of these photofragments reveals that that strong enol to keto photoisomerism is occurring, and that protonation significantly disrupts the stability of the enol (UVA active) tautomer. Close comparison of fragment ion yields with the TD-DFT-calculated absorption spectra give detailed information on the location and identity of the dissociative excited state surfaces, and thus provide new insight into the photodegradation pathways of avobenzone, and photoisomerization of the wider class of β-diketone containing molecules.Six new chiro-inositol derivatives (1-6) were isolated from the leaves of Chisocheton paniculatus collected in Vietnam. Their chemical structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS analyses. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in the RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line. Epacadostat ic50 Compound 4 exhibited potent inhibitory activity for NO production with an IC50 value of 7.1 μM.The design and synthesis of effective and recyclable oxidative desulfurization catalysts is of great importance in view of environmental protection and human health. Herein, a family of polyoxomolybdate-based inorganic-organic hybrid materials, namely, [Mn(TMR4A)(H2O)4][Mo6O19]·0.5CH3CH2OH·H2O (1), [Ni(TMR4A)(H2O)4][Mo6O19]·0.5CH3CH2OH·H2O (2), [Zn(TMR4A)(H2O)4][Mo6O19]·0.5CH3CH2OH·H2O (3), and [Co2(TMR4A)2(H2O)4(β-Mo8O26)]·CH3CN·12H2O (4), were assembled by the functionalized resorcin[4]arene ligand (TMR4A) with polyoxomolybdate and metal ions under solvothermal conditions. In isostructural 1-3, the [M(TMR4A)(H2O)4]2+ species (M = MnII, NiII, ZnII) and [Mo6O19]2- anions are held together via C-H···O hydrogen bonds to give a 3D supramolecular architecture. In 4, two [Co(TMR4A)(H2O)2]2+ cations were linked by one [β-Mo8O26]4- anion to produce an attractive molecular dimer. Remarkably, 1-4, as recyclable heterogeneous catalysts, exhibit efficient catalytic oxidation desulfurization activities toward thioethers. Particularly, 1, as a representative example, features selective catalytic oxidation for sulfur mustard simulant. Moreover, their electrochemical properties were also studied.Herein we report our full investigation into the calcium catalyzed generation and trapping of N-acyliminium ions from readily available 3-hydroxyisoindolinones. We have successfully employed a range of traditional nucleophiles including carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur containing reactive partners. The reaction is tolerant to a wide range of functionalities and provides high value scaffolds in good to excellent yields.By the precisely metallo-ligand design, the advanced coordination-driven self-assembly could succeed the preparation of giant molecular weight of the metallo-architectures. However, the synthesis of single discrete high-molecular-weight (>100K Da) structure has not been demonstrated since the insurmountable synthetic challenge. Herein we
