Porous perovskite-type complex oxides LaCoO₃ and La_0.95Sr_0.05Ni_0.05Co_0.95O₃ were produced by combustion method. The properties of these porous materials such as crystal structures, particle sizes, surface patterns, pore size, surface area and pore volume were characterized by X-ray diffraction( XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and BET measurements. The results indicated that all porous materials are of the perovskite-type complex oxides. Doping Sr²⁺ ions on site A and doping Ni²⁺ ions on site B entered the crystal lattices of LaCoO₃ in the place of La³⁺ and Co³⁺, respectively, and the maximum peak of XRD patterns of doping sample was weaken and broaden. Morphological microscopy demonstrated agglomerates involved mostly thin smooth flakes and layers perforated by a large number of pores and its lamella decreased with the introduction of Sr²⁺ and Ni²⁺. Hysteresis loop in the N² adsorption-desorption isotherm of samples indicated its porous structures and the doping effect on its pore size, surface area and pore volume were improved. The porous catalysts have been tested for methane catalytic combustion and the results showed that these catalysts possessed high catalytic activity.

Novel pyrrolo[1',5'-a]-1,8-naphthyridine compounds (L1-L4) have been synthesized through a facile one-pot process by the reaction of the corresponding 1,8-naphthyridines with aliphatic anhydride. The structures were established by spectroscopic data. Further, X-ray crystal analysis of 7-diacetamino-2,4-dimethy-1,8-naphthyridine (L1) identifies its molecular structure and reveals π-π stacking. The synthetic mechanisms for L2, L3 were studied by density functional theory calculations. And a comprehensive study of spectroscopic properties involving experimental data and theoretical studies is presented. L1 exhibited electronic absorption spectrum with λ_max at ∼320 nm. L2-L4 exhibited similar electronic absorption spectra with λ_max at ∼390 nm that is tentatively assigned to π→π* transition. The assignment was further supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

A facile and efficient method for direct C–H formylation of phenolated 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles using DMSO as the formyl source has been developed. The reaction proceeded smoothly under metal-free conditions with good functional group tolerance and high selectivity co-controlled by the triazole ring and hydroxyl group.
