The role of steric and electronic effects during the rate and product determining steps for the addition of arenesulphenyl chlorides to 1,3-disubstituted allenes has been briefly examined. Both effects appear to be generally of minimal importance during the rate determining step. The available rate data indicate the presence of little, if any, build up of positive charge on sulphur. These results are interpreted in terms of an SN2 attack on bivalent sulphur leading to an alkylidenethiiranium ion intermediate. Steric effects are of greater importance in the product determining step, particularly when the sulphenyl chlorides possess two bulky ortho substituents, as in the case of 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulphenyl chloride.

Perovskite oxides have been gaining attention for its capability to be designed as an ideal electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Among promising candidates, the layered double perovskite—PrBaCo2O6-δ (PBC)—has been identified as the most active perovskite electrocatalyst for OER in alkaline media. For a single transition metal oxide catalyst, the addition of Fe enhances its electrocatalytic performance towards OER. To understand the role of Fe, herein, Fe is incorporated in PBC in different ratios, which yielded PrBaCo2(1-x)Fe2xCo6-δ (x = 0, 0.2 and 0.5). Fe-doped PBCF’s demonstrate enhanced OER activities and stabilities. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) revealed that Co is more stable in a lower oxidation state upon Fe incorporation by establishing charge stability. Hence, the degradation of Co is inhibited such that the perovskite structure is prolonged under the OER conditions, which allows it to serve as a platform for the oxy(hydroxide) layer formation. Overall, our findings underline synergetic effects of incorporating Fe into Co-based layered double perovskite in achieving a higher activity and stability during oxygen evolution reaction.

Abstract Reaction rates of common organic reactions have been reported to increase by one to six orders of magnitude in aqueous microdroplets compared to bulk solution, but the reasons for the rate acceleration are poorly understood. We investigate the role of electric fields at water droplet surfaces that might explain the promotion of unusual reactive chemistry, along with changes in electric field profiles as a function of excess charge to model the electrospray fragmentation process. We find that electric field alignments along free O-H bonds at the surface yield field strength distributions that are ~30 MV/cm larger on average than that found for O-H bonds in the interior of the water droplet, consistent with greater surface reactivity. We emphasize the importance of both nuclear and electronic effects at the surface, and the non-linear coupling of intramolecular solute polarization with intermolecular solvent modes, as a necessary feature for predicting the higher field strengths at water droplet surfaces.
