This paper proposes a new extended state observer-based sliding-mode control strategy with prescribed-time convergence. Firstly, a novel prescribed-time extended state observer is designed, which ...estimates the disturbance accurately within a prescribed time and effectively solves peaking value problem. Secondly, a new type of second-order prescribed-time sliding-mode controller is designed to ensure system states converge within a prescribed time. Then, the proposed control strategy is applied to the design of partial integrated guidance and control with two-loop controller structure. Finally, the validity of the proposed methodology is verified through numerical simulation.
Besides serving as a low-toxicity, inexpensive and easily accessible solvent, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has also been extensively used as a versatile reagent for the synthesis of functionalized ...molecules. Dimethyl sulfoxide can not only be utilized as a carbon source, a sulfur source and an oxygen source, but also be employed as a crucial oxidant enabling various transformations. The past decade has witnessed a large number of impressive achievements on the direct synthesis of heterocycles as well as modifications of heterocyclic compounds by applying DMSO as a reagent. This review summarized the DMSO-based direct heterocycle constructions from 2012 to 2022.
Considering the wide occurrence and extensive application of organic chlorides in many research fields, the development of easy, practical and green chlorination methodologies is much needed. In the ...oxidative chlorination strategy, active chlorinating species can be

Among the established chlorination approaches, this strategy is an attractive one as it features the use of readily available, cheap and safe inorganic or organic chlorides, good atom economy of chlorine, and multiple choices of oxidants. This review summarizes the representative methodologies in the field of oxidative chlorination, covering 2013 to 2023.

Organic co‐crystal engineering is a promising method to make multifunctional materials. Here, the marriage of macrocyclic chemistry and co‐crystal engineering provides a smart strategy to build ...vapochromic materials. The macrocycle co‐crystals (MCCs) were constructed from π‐electron rich pillar5arene (P5) and an electron‐deficient pyromellitic diimide derivative (PDI) on a 10 g scale. MCCs of P5‐PDI are in red owing to the formation of a charge‐transfer (CT) complex. After solvent removal, a white crystalline solid with a new structure (P5‐PDIα) is yielded, which exhibits selective vapochromic responses to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of haloalkanes, accompanied by color changes from white to red or orange. Powder and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses reveal that the color changes are attributed to the vapor‐triggered solid‐state structural transformation to form CT co‐crystals. Coating films of P5 and PDI on glass showed a visible vapochromic behavior with good reversibility.
