(Figure Presented) The trans/cis ratio of the amide bond in N-formylproline phenylesters correlates with electron withdrawal by a para substituent. The slope of the Hammett plot (ρ = 0.26) is indicative of a substantial effect. This effect arises from a favorable n → π* interaction between the amide oxygen and ester carbonyl. In a polypeptide chain, an analogous interaction can stabilize the conformation of trans peptide bonds, α-helices, and polyproline type-II helices.

Photocatalytic reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced reactions provide an appealing method to solve the environmental and energy issues, whereas the current oxidation reaction generally suffered from low efficiency and poor selectivity due to uncontrollable O2 activation process. In view of the existence of competitive electron and energy transfer pathway, we propose that highly efficient superoxide radical anion (·O2?) generation can be achieved by optimizing the order degree of the photocatalyst. Herein, by taking carbon nitride polymer as an example, we optimized the crystallization process of carbon nitride polymer by selecting precursors of different polymerization degrees with a molten salt method. Benefiting from the high crystallinity, extended π-conjugated system and strong van der-Waals interactions between interlayers, the modified carbon nitride polymer exhibited accelerated charge transport and enhancement in electron induced molecular oxygen activation reactions under visible light. Consequently, the CCN-P exhibits about 1.5 times higher conversion rate in hydroxylation of phenylboronic acid and over 6-fold faster degradation rate in Rh B organic pollutants photodegradation with respect to pristine carbon nitride. This study provides an in-depth understanding on the optimization of the O2 activation process and the design of advanced photocatalysts.

Abstract: A novel palladium-nanohybrid (Pd–Chitosan–CNT) catalytic composite has been developed using CNT–chitosan nanocomposite and palladium nitrate. The prepared catalytic platform displays excellent catalytic reactivity for the ipso-hydroxylation of various arylboronic acids with a mild oxidant aqueous H2O2 at room temperature, affording the corresponding phenols in excellent yields. Significantly, the easy recovery and reusability by simple manipulation demonstrate the green credentials of this catalytic platform. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
