The β-SiH agostic complex (ArN)2Mo{η3-N(tBu)SiMe2–H}H is a pre-catalyst for hydrosilylation of carbonyls. Mechanistic studies revealed a non-hydride mechanism, with the benzoxy complex 8 being the resting state.

AbstractFunctionalized bisboryl compounds have recently emerged as a new class of synthetically useful building blocks in organic synthesis. Herein, we report an efficient strategy to synthesize β-geminal-diboryl ketones enabled by a Cu/Pd-catalyzed borocarbonylative trifunctionalization of readily available alkynes and allenes. This reaction promises to be a useful method for the synthesis of functionalized β-geminal-diboryl ketones with broad functional group tolerance. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds through borocarbonylation/hydroboration cascade of both alkynes and allenes.

<b>Although the fascinatingly rich crystal chemistry of honeycomb layered oxides has been accredited as the propelling force behind their remarkable electrochemistry, the atomistic mechanisms surrounding their operations remain unexplored. Thus, herein, we present an extensive molecular dynamics study performed systematically using a refined set of inter-atomic potential parameters of <i>A</i><sub>2</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub>TeO<sub>6</sub> (where <i>A</i> = Li, Na, and K). We demonstrate the effectiveness of the Vashishta-Rahman form of the interatomic potential in reproducing various structural and transport properties of this promising class of materials and predict an exponential increase in cationic diffusion with larger interlayer distances. The simulations further demonstrate the correlation between broadened inter-layer (inter-slab) distances associated with the larger ionic radii of K and Na compared to Li and the enhanced cationic conduction exhibited in K<sub>2</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub>TeO<sub>6</sub> and Na<sub>2</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub>TeO<sub>6</sub> relative to Li<sub>2</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub>TeO<sub>6</sub>. Whence, our findings connect lower potential energy barriers, favourable cationic paths and wider bottleneck size along the cationic diffusion channel within frameworks (comprised of larger mobile cations) to the improved cationic diffusion experimentally observed in honeycomb layered oxides. Furthermore, we explicitly study the role of inter-layer distance and cationic size in cationic diffusion. Our theoretical studies reveal the dominance of inter-layer distance over cationic size, a crucial insight into the further performance enhancement of honeycomb layered oxides.</b><br>

AbstractAsthma is a heterogeneous disorder with a complex etiology. Prevalence rates for asthma have been increasing in many countries over the past few decades. While it is unclear why this increase is occurring, the variation reported in asthma prevalence and severity associated with ethnicity offers some insight into the determinants of asthma. In this chapter, we discuss the data linking asthma to ethnicity and some of the factors that may explain this association. These include socioeconomic status, environmental exposures, the host microbiome, and genetics. A better understanding of these processes may inform future mechanistic studies and identify modifiable risk factors for targeted health care interventions.

AbstractIn the last ten years a significant step forward has been made toward a better understanding of the evolutionary status and unusual nature of the R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars, a rare class of hydrogen-poor and carbon-rich variable stars. More detailed abundance analyses of the majority of RCB stars, and objects related to them, have become available in the last couple of years. In addition to this, recent theoretical studies of the most popular evolutionary models (“Double Degenerate” and “Final Flash”) provide a new insight into the origin of these stars. Regarding the nature of the RCB declines, more observations from the light maxima and the decline phase are now available, including more data from space. However, the characteristics of the various emission lines appearing during the RCB declines, and the nature of their emitting regions, are still not entirely understood.
