The Se-doped MoS₂ was prepared via a facile annealing process and exhibited enhanced catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction.

A visible light-driven photocatalytic generation of sulfonamidyl radicals, and application to intramolecular alkene hydroamination, has been accomplished.

(Hetero)aryloxytetrafluoroethylation of heteroaromatics and alkenes has been achieved by visible-light photocatalysis utilizing readily synthesized oxyfluoroalkyl reagents.

Molecularly imprinted PEG-based hydrogels were prepared for carbohydrates and glycoproteins. Visible detection of fructose was achieved by the gels.

By understanding structure–function relationships of active biopolymers (e.g. enzymes and nucleic acids) in green non-conventional media, sustainable chemical processes may be developed.
