Humans rely increasingly on sensors to address grand challenges and to improve quality of
life in the era of digitalization and big data. For ubiquitous sensing, flexible sensors are …

Seven kinds of sp3 α-C–H activation/C–C formation reactions of alcohols and ethers have
been reviewed in this tutorial review, from the viewpoint of both methodology and synthetic …

Aqueous sulphides, including hydrogen sulphide, have important roles in biological
signalling and metabolic processes. Here we develop a selective sulphide-trapping strategy …

To address oil spillage and chemical leakage accidents, the development of efficient sorbent
materials is of global importance for environment and water source protection. Here we …

We report an efficient method for the alkylation of γ-C(sp 3 )–H bonds of picolinamide-protected
aliphatic amine substrates with primary alkyl iodides via palladium catalysis. Ag 2 CO 3 …

Of the two cultivated species of allopolyploid cotton, Gossypium barbadense produces extra-long
fibers for the production of superior textiles. We sequenced its genome (AD) 2 and …

We report the efficient synthesis of alkyl ethers by the functionalization of unactivated sp 3 -
and sp 2 -hybridized C–H bonds. In the Pd(OAc) 2 -catalyzed, PhI(OAc) 2 -mediated reaction …

We report a new set of reactions based on the Pd-catalyzed alkylation of methylene C(sp 3 )–H
bonds of aliphatic quinolyl carboxamides with α-haloacetate and methyl iodide and …

Medium-sized lactams are important structural motifs in natural products and pharmaceutical
agents.[1] Although intramolecular amide-coupling reactions have been routinely used for …

Regarded as a near real time drought monitoring method, the VTCI index based on remote
sensing data is applied to the drought forecasting in the Guanzhong Plain. ARIMA models …
