A series of nanoporous [LnIII4(di-nitro-BPDC)4(NO2)3(OH)(H2O)5]·n(methanol) (LnIII ?= ?PrIII, NdIII, SmIII, EuIII, GdIII, PrIII/GdIII and PrIII/EuIII; di-nitro-BPDC2- ?= ?2,2′-dinitrobiphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate) was synthesized and characterized. Founded on Lewis acidic LnIII possessing vacant coordination sites and functional groups of di-nitro-BPDC2-, their catalytic activities were evaluated based on the CO2 cycloaddition reactions with epoxides under ambient pressure and solvent-free conditions. Depending on catalytic conditions, satisfying turnover number and turnover frequency of 1106 and 276 h-1, respectively, could be yielded with ≥79(±4)% conversion and 87(±1)% selectivity. The correlation between the catalysis performance and structural factors is proposed on a basis of experimental and computation results. These include the restrained transportation even in the nanoporous framework and crystallographic disorder in the LnIII coordination environment. The excellent robustness of the catalysts, effects of lanthanide contraction, and synergistic activities of the heterometallic PrIII/GdIII and PrIII/EuIII catalysts are also included.

A new synthetic method has been developed for the regioselective conversion of epoxides to vicinal chloro-/bromohydrins and vicinal dihalides by reaction with the system trihaloisocyanuric acid/tri?phenylphosphine in acetonitrile under mild and neutral conditions. The reactions proceed smoothly in high yield at room temperature and at reflux, respectively, over a short time.

Oxetanes offer exciting potential as structural motifs and intermediates in drug discovery and materials science. Here an efficient strategy for the synthesis of oxetane rings incorporating pendant functional groups is described. A wide variety of oxetane 2,2-dicarboxylates were accessed in high yields, including functionalized 3-/4-aryl-and alkyl-substituted oxetanes and fused oxetane bicycles. Enantioenriched alcohols provided enantioenriched oxetanes with complete retention of configuration. The oxetane products were further derivatized, while the ring was maintained intact, thus highlighting their potential as building blocks for medicinal chemistry.
