In the present work, we provide evidence for visible light irradiation of the Au/TiO2 nanoparticles’ surface plasmon resonance band (SPR) leading to electron injection from the Au nanoparticles to the conduction band of TiO2. The Au/TiO2 SPR band is shown to greatly enhance the light absorption of TiO2 in the visible region. Evidence is presented for the light absorption by the Au/TiO2 plasmon bands leading to the dissolution of Au nanoparticles. This dissolution occurs concomitantly with the injection of the hot electrons generated by the Au plasmon into the conduction band of TiO2. The electron injection from the Au nanoparticles into TiO2 was followed by femtosecond spectroscopy. The formation of Au ions was further confirmed by the spectral shift of the transient absorption spectra of Au/TiO2. The spectral changes of the SPR band of Au/TiO2 nanoparticles induced by visible light were detected by spectrophotometer, and the morphological transformation of Au/TiO2 was revealed by electron microscopy techniques as well. Subsequently, the fate of the Au ions was sorted out during the growth and biofilm formation for some selected Gram-negative bacteria. This study compares the bactericidal mechanism of Au ions and Ag ions, which were found to be substantially different depending on the selected cell used as a probe.

Partial insight into the reaction mechanism of the photooxidation of 2-propanol over Au/TiO2. 2-Propanol is activated by hole capture and converted to acetone requiring the presence of O2 as an electron acceptor. The deposited Au nanoparticles are assumed to facilitate the electron transfer from the TiO2 conduction band to adsorbed O2.

<div>We report here a catalytic, Markovnikov selective, and scalable synthetic method for the synthesis of saturated sulfur heterocycles, which are found in the structures of pharmaceuticals and natural products, in one step from an alkenyl thioester. Unlike a potentially labile alkenyl thiol, an alkenyl thioester is stable and easy to prepare. The powerful Co catalysis via a cobalt hydride hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover mechanism enabled simultaneous cyclization and deprotection. The substrate scope was expanded by the extensive optimization of the reaction conditions and tuning of the thioester unit.</div>

<div>An efficient strategy for the synthesis of the potent phospholipase A2 inhibitors spongidine A and D is presented. The tetracyclic core of the natural products was assembled via an intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer‐initiated Minisci reaction. A divergent late‐stage functionalization of the tetracyclic ring system was also used to achieve a concise synthesis of petrosaspongiolide L methyl ester.</div>

A catalytic synthesis of cyclic guanidines, which are found in many biologically active compounds and natu-ral products, was developed, wherein transition-metal hydrogen atom transfer and radical-polar crossover were employed. This mild and functional-group tolerant process enabled the cyclization of alkenyl guanidines bearing common protective groups, such as Cbz and Boc. This powerful method not only provided the common 5- and 6-membered rings but also an unusual 7-membered ring. The derivatization of the products afforded various heterocycles. We also investigated the se-lective cyclization of mono-protected or hetero-protected (TFA and Boc) alkenyl guanidines and their further derivatiza-tions.
