The two kinetic regime, low conversion and low chain end functionality seen in copper catalyzed polymerization of acrylates in acetonitrile was transformed into a SET-LRP kinetic, to complete conversion and quantitative chain end functionality in a biphasic mixture containing 10% water.

Abstract5-Methylfurfural (MF) is a very useful chemical. Selective hydrogenation of biomass platform molecule 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) to MF using H2 as the reducing agent is very attractive, but challenging because hydrogenation of C=O bond in HMF is more favourable than C–OH both kinetically and thermodynamically, and this route has not been realized. In this work, we prepare isolated single atomic catalysts (SACs) Pt1/Nb2O5-Ov, Pd1/Nb2O5-Ov, and Au1/Nb2O5-Ov, in which single metal atoms are supported on oxygen defective Nb2O5 (Nb2O5-Ov). It is discovered that the SACs can efficiently catalyze the hydrogenation of HMF to MF using H2 as the reducing agent with MF selectivity of >99% at complete conversion, while the selectivities of the metal nanocatalysts supported on Nb2O5 are very poor. A combination of experimental and density function theory (DFT) studies show that the unique features of the SACs for the reaction result from the cooperation of the Nb and Pt sites near the interface in the Pt1/Nb2O5-Ov. The Pt atoms are responsible for the activation of H2 and the Nb sites activate C-OH in the reaction. This work opens the way for producing MF by direct hydrogenation of biomass-derived HMF using H2 as the reductant.

Beam instabilities in the strongly magnetized electron–positron plasma of a pulsar magnetosphere are considered. We analyse the resonance conditions and estimate the growth rates of the Cherenkov and cyclotron instabilities of the ordinary (O), extraordinary (X) and Alfvén modes in two limiting regimes: kinetic and hydrodynamic. The importance of the different instabilities as a source of coherent pulsar radiation generation is then estimated, taking into account the angular dependence of the growth rates and the limitations on the length of the coherent wave–particle interaction imposed by the curvature of the magnetic field lines. We conclude that in the pulsar magnetosphere, Cherenkov-type instabilities occur in the hydrodynamic regime, while cyclotron-type instabilities occur in the kinetic regime. We argue that electromagnetic cyclotron-type instabilities on the X, O and probably Alfvén waves are more likely to develop in the pulsar magnetosphere.
