Highly efficient visible-light-induced aerobic oxidative C–C, C–P coupling from C–H bonds catalyzed by a gold(III)-complex
TL;DR: A novel and highly efficient gold(III)-complex catalyzed aerobic oxidative α-C-H functionalization of amines has been developed that can be directly coupled with various nucleophiles using air as a sustainable oxidant.

Synergistic Catalysis for the Umpolung Trifluoromethylthiolation of Tertiary Ethers.
TL;DR: The first transition-metal-free, site-specific umpolung trifluoromethylthiolation of tertiary alkyl ethers has been developed, achieving the challenging tertiary C(sp3 )-SCF3 coupling under redox-neutral conditions.

Anion-Directed Self-Assembly of Lanthanide–notp Compounds and Their Fluorescence, Magnetic, and Catalytic Properties
TL;DR: The anions and the pH are believed to play key roles in directing the formation of a particular structure, and four types of Ln-notp compounds are studied.

Upgrading ketone synthesis direct from carboxylic acids and organohalides
TL;DR: A photoredox, nickel and phosphoranyl radical synergistic cross-electrophile coupling of commercially available chemicals, aromatic acids and aryl/alkyl bromides allows for concise synthesis of highly functionalized ketones directly, without the preparation of activated carbonyl intermediates or organometallic compounds, and thus complements the conventional Weinreb ketone synthesis.
