Through DFT calculations, a Be0.25Mg0.75O superlattice having long apical Be–O bond length is proposed to have a high bandgap (>7.3 eV) and high dielectric constant (∼18) at room temperature and above.

The formation of simple non-classical silylium ions from [Me3Si]+ sources and alkenes or alkynes was investigated, but mainly oligomerization was observed. Yet, the reaction with MeCCMe led to a room temperature stable cyclobutenyl cation. DFT calculations suggest that a non-classical silylium ion intermediate was formed on the way to this product.

Raman EPR and visible absorption spectra of sodium tetrasulfide in the solid state and melts have been studied from room temperature up to 300°C. The above techniques provide strong evidence for breaking of the polysulfide chains resulting in the production of S3-radical ions. The existence of the radical ions in polysulfides at elevated temperatures is important for understanding the electrode processes in sodium sulfur batteries.

Interplay of STM imaging and DFT calculations demonstrates the isomerization of an alkene molecule on Cu(110) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. We show that the on-surfacecis–transisomerization could efficiently occur well below room temperature, in which the surface is speculated to play a key role in assisting this isomerization process.

Acetylene derivatives of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, 5-(2-arylethynyl)-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles, have been obtained, for the first time, from 5-(2-arylethenyl)-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles by their bromination at the carbon-carbon double bond followed by di-dehydrobromination with NaNH2 in liquid NH3.  Reaction of the acetylene 1,2,4-oxadiazoles with arenes in neat triflic acid TfOH (CF3SO3H) at room temperature for 1 h result in the formation of E-/Z-5-(2,2-diarylethenyl)-3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles as products of regioselective hydroarylation of the acetylene bond. Addition of TfOH to acetylene bond of these oxadiazoles gives rise quantitatively to E-/Z-vinyl triflates. Reaction cationic intermediates have been studied by DFT calculations. The reaction mechanisms have been discussed.

Although the nucleophilic alkylation of aromatics has recently been achieved with a variety of potent main group reagents, all of this reactivity is limited to a stoichiometric regime. We now report that the ytterbium(II) hydride, [BDI YbH] (BDI = CH[C(CH )NDipp] , Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), reacts with ethene and propene to provide the ytterbium(II) n-alkyls, [BDI YbR] (R = Et or Pr), both of which alkylate benzene at room temperature. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that this latter process operates through the nucleophilic (S 2) displacement of hydride, while the resultant regeneration of [BDI YbH] facilitates further reaction with ethene or propene and enables the direct catalytic (anti-Markovnikov) hydroarylation of both alkenes with a benzene C-H bond.

From the interplay of high-resolution STM imaging and DFT calculations we demonstrate the first example of a metal–organic fractal (Sierpiński triangle) on the surface, and also the first room-temperature stable 2D supramolecular Sierpiński triangle.

Dipolar addition of cyclic azomethine imines with cyclic vinyl sulfones gave rise to functionalized tricycles that exhibited fluxional behavior in solution at room temperature. The scope of the synthetic methodology was explored, and the origin of the fluxional behavior was probed by NMR methods together with DFT calculations. This behavior was ultimately attributed to stereochemical inversion at one of two nitrogen centers embedded in the tricyclic framework. Two tetracycles were also synthesized, and the degree of signal-broadening in the NMR spectra was found to depend on the presence of substitution next to the inverting nitrogen center.

The reaction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) with arenes in superacidic trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (triflic acid, TfOH) as the solvent at room temperature for 1–24 h gives rise to 5-arylmethylfurfurals (yields of 17–91%) and 2-arylmethyl-5-(diarylmethyl)furans (yields of 10–37%). The formation of these two types of reaction products depends on the nucleophilicity of the arene. The same reactions under the action of acidic zeolites H-USY in high pressure tubes at 130 °C for 1 h result in the formation of only 5-arylmethylfurfurals (yields of 45–79%). 2,5-Diformylfuran (2,5-DFF) in the reaction with arenes under the action of AlBr3 at room temperature for 1 h leads to 5-(diarylmethyl)furfurals (yields of 51–90%). The reactive protonated species of 5-HMF and 2,5-DFF were characterized by NMR spectroscopy in TfOH and studied by DFT calculations. These reactions show possibilities of organic synthesis based on biomass-derived 5-HMF and 2,5-DFF.
