Catalyst-Free Decarboxylative Amination of Carboxylic Acids in Water Microdroplets

Yifan Meng et al.

Summary: In this study, hydroxyl radicals generated in situ were used for an organic transformation to synthesize anilines from aryl acids and ammonia/primary or secondary amines via decarboxylation. This one-step reaction occurred at room temperature without the need for metal catalysts or organic solvents. The scope of this transformation includes various types of amines and aromatic acids, enabling the synthesis of aniline and N-substituted anilines in a single step.

Real-Time Studies of Chemical Conversions across the Air-Water Interface of a Single Droplet: Generating Secondary Pollutants under Visible Light

Shengxi Zhang et al.

Summary: Pollutant conversions at the air-water interface of a single droplet were investigated using droplet ESI MS. The study revealed complicated and active conversions in droplets under visible-light irradiation, while no significant conversion was observed in the bulk solution. By monitoring the dimer and radical intermediates, photochemical mechanisms across the water-air interface were proposed. This work expands the application of ambient MS into environmental studies by providing an effective pathway for single-droplet examinations.

On the formation of hydrogen peroxide in water microdroplets

Adair Gallo et al.

Summary: Recent research on the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in water microdroplets has attracted significant attention. The presence of ozone (O-3) in the air has been found to have the most significant impact on H2O2 formation in these water microdroplets. Increased gas-liquid surface area facilitates the conversion of O-3 into H2O2.

Water-solid contact electrification causes hydrogen peroxide production from hydroxyl radical recombination in sprayed microdroplets

Bolei Chen et al.

Summary: Contact electrification between water and a solid surface leads to the spontaneous production of H2O2 from hydroxyl groups on the surface. The density of hydroxyl groups affects the yield of H2O2. Mass spectrometry confirms the involvement of hydroxyl groups in the generation of H2O2. A model based on the recombination of hydroxyl radicals from surface hydroxyl groups is proposed. The generation of H2O2 is found to be universal on soil and atmospheric fine particle surfaces in a humid environment.

Summary: In this study, the low-lying electronic states of the Norrish-type I photoinitiator Irgacure 2959 complexed with a single metal cation were investigated using photodissociation action spectroscopy in the gas phase. The charge of the cations was found to influence the key electronic energy levels, leading to shifts in the electronic states. The oriented electric field generated by the cation affects the energy gap between different electronic states, ultimately impacting the yield of radical photoproducts.
