Integrated in-memory sensor and computing of artificial vision system based on reversible bonding transition-induced nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) by Yu, Tianqi, Li, Jie, Lei, Wei, Shafe, Suhaidi, Mohtar, Mohd Nazim, Jindapetch, Nattha, van Dommelen, Paphavee, Zhao, Zhiwei

“…The physical mechanism can be attributed to the reversible transition between C–N and C=N with lower binding energy induced by the electric field and the generation of photogenerated carriers by ultraviolet light irradiation, which adjusts the conductivity of the initial N-CQDs to implement resistance switching. …”

Novel bisisoquinolines : synthesis, resolution and application in asymmetric Henry reaction by Yao, Qiong Ji

“…Application of the enantiopure 1,3- and 1,2-diposed bisisoquinolines in catalysis of asymmetric henry reaction was examined, C1-1’,2’,3’,4’-terahydro-1,1’-bisisoquinoline’s copper(I) complex proved to be the most efficient catalyst for the enantioselective Henry reaction between aldehydes and nitromethane. β-nitroalcohol adducts were obtained in high yields and enatioselectivities. …”
