    A series of monometallic Cu-BTC, Ni-BTC, and Co-BTC catalysts was successfully synthesized via the solvothermal method to evaluate their performance in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural (FF) to γ-valerolactone (GVL). The Co-BTC and Ni-BTC catalysts exhibited higher FF conversion, selectivity, and GVL yield than Cu-BTC due to favorable redox properties of Co<sup>2+</sup> and Ni<sup>2+</sup> and stronger acidity that enhance substrate activation and key ring-opening and lactonization steps. To further enhance performance, bimetallic NiCo-BTC catalysts with different Ni/Co mole ratios (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00) were developed. All bimetallic NiCo-BTC catalysts outperformed the monometallic counterparts, with 0.50NiCo-BTC achieving complete FF conversion and the highest GVL selectivity and yield of 89% at 200 °C after 24 h. TEM, XPS, XANES, and NH<inf>3</inf>-TPD analyses indicated that the enhanced catalytic activity and selectivity arise from synergistic Ni-Co interactions and increased surface acidity. Time-resolved product analysis confirmed a sequential pathway with furfuryl alcohol (FA) as a key intermediate. Moreover, the 0.50NiCo-BTC catalyst exhibited good reusability over three cycles with minimal activity loss, demonstrating structural stability under reaction conditions. These results highlighted the importance of metal synergy and acid site tuning in designing highly efficient metal organic framework catalysts for biomass upgrading via catalytic transfer hydrogenation.

    The sustainable conversion of carbon dioxide (CO<inf>2</inf>)into value-added chemicals remains a major challenge, particularly for the selective formation of C<inf>1</inf>–C<inf>3</inf> alcohols. Herein, bimetallic copper phyllosilicate catalysts (1%X-20%CuPS, X = Zn, Mg, Pt) were developed and systematically evaluated for the liquid-phase hydrogenation of CO<inf>2</inf> to alcohols compared with monometallic 20%CuPS as a benchmark. Among these catalysts, 1%Mg-20%CuPS exhibited the highest activity, excellent stability, and good reusability, highlighting the beneficial role of earth-abundant metal promotion. The enhanced performance is attributed to increased surface basicity and stronger CO<inf>2</inf> adsorption, which facilitated the formation and stabilization of formate intermediates. Concurrently, in situ reduction of Cu<sup>+</sup>/Cu<sup>0</sup> sites promotes efficient H<inf>2</inf> dissociation and subsequent hydrogenation steps. A high surface Mg/Si ratio further stabilizes CO-derived intermediates and promotes CO-mediated C–C coupling, favoring C<inf>2</inf><inf>+</inf> alcohol formation. Zn incorporation induced similar but less pronounced effects, whereas Pt altered the reaction network, leading to increased byproduct formation and lower alcohol selectivity. After 24 h, the total alcohol selectivity followed the order 1%Mg-20%CuPS (98%) > 1%Zn-20%CuPS (88%) > 1%Pt-20%CuPS (73%) > 20%CuPS (67%). Overall, second metal modification effectively tunes catalyst properties and reaction pathways, with Mg emerging as a sustainable and industrially viable promoter for CO<inf>2</inf> valorization to C<inf>1</inf>–C<inf>3</inf> alcohols.

    This work reports a new route for the synthesis of 3-(9H-fluoren-9-ylidene)indolin-2-one derivatives via the reaction of 3-chlorooxindoles and O-ethyl S-(9H-fluoren-9-yl) carbonodithioates mediated by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). The reactions readily proceeded at room temperature, enable a collection of 3-alkenyl oxindoles to be prepared within a short reaction time (15 minutes). The 3-alkenyl oxindoles can be easily converted to 3-fluorenyl oxindoles by NaBH<inf>4</inf> reduction.

    Copper phyllosilicate (CuPS) catalysts were synthesized and evaluated for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural to γ-valerolactone (GVL). Various copper loadings (10–30 wt.%) were studied to elucidate the impact of copper species on catalytic performance. Notably, a high dispersion of copper (%D<inf>Cu</inf> ≈ 70%) and a substantial BET surface area (620 m<sup>2</sup>/g) were achieved, even at the maximum copper loading of 30 wt.%. TR-XANEs and XPS analyses identified the two geometric structures of Cu<sup>2</sup>⁺ on the CuPS catalysts; square planar and octahedral alongside Cu⁺/Cu⁰ species were formed upon reduction at temperatures exceeding 200 °C. The reduced 30% CuPS-R catalyst, enriched in metallic Cu⁰, achieved complete conversion of furfural, but exhibited low GVL selectivity (22%). Conversely, the as-synthesized 30% CuPS, predominantly composed of Cu<sup>2</sup>⁺, showed a lower furfural conversion (14%) but higher selectivity for GVL (37%). The physical mixing of 30% CuPS-R and 30% CuPS in a 50:50 ratio yielded the best catalytic performance, resulting in 100% furfural conversion and 86% GVL selectivity. The findings suggest that metallic Cu⁰ is essential for initiating the conversion of furfural, while Cu<sup>2</sup>⁺ plays a critical role in GVL formation. An optimal Lewis/Brønsted acidity (L/B) ratio of 5.7 is proposed for the mixed catalysts. The proposed reaction mechanism underscores the complex interplay between different copper species and acid sites, emphasizing the need for optimizing both metal and acid functionalities in catalyst design.

    Bimetallic Cu-Ni phyllosilicates (Cu-NiPS) with various Ni/Cu ratios (5 : 15, 10 : 10, 15 : 5 wt%) were synthesized using ammonia evaporation hydrothermal method to obtain copper-rich or nickel-rich Cu-Ni alloys. These catalysts were evaluated for the selective hydrogenation of furfural (FF) to furfuryl alcohol (FA) in the liquid phase under relatively mild conditions (100 °C, 20 bar H<inf>2</inf>). The bimetallic Cu-NiPS catalysts exhibited excellent dispersion of the Ni-Cu alloy with average particle sizes ranging from 3.8 to 4.8 nm and demonstrated significantly enhanced catalytic performance over the monometallic nickel phyllosilicate (20% NiPS). The copper-rich Ni-Cu alloy (15% Cu-5% NiPS) exhibited the highest FF conversion efficiency (88%) and FA selectivity (90%). This superior performance is attributed to its smallest particle size, higher proportion of Cu<sup>0</sup> and the synergistic interactions between Ni and Cu. This synergy effectively stabilizes the carbonyl group while promoting efficient H<inf>2</inf> dissociation and FA desorption, thereby facilitating the hydrogenation of FF to FA. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibited excellent recyclability and maintained high conversion efficiency and selectivity over multiple cycles.

    This study investigates the financial behavior of Thai investors in equity crowdfunding (ECF), focusing on the factors that influence their investment intentions. Drawing upon the Information System Success Model (ISSM), the Theory of Diffusion of Innovations, and the Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM3), the research examines the platform quality (PQ), platform characteristics (PC), and social influence (SI) as independent variables, with the perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) acting as mediators. Data were gathered from 275 Thai investors and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that the PU significantly influences investment decisions both directly and indirectly through the PEOU, which also directly affects investment intention. Furthermore, SI, PC, and PQ have indirect effects on investment decisions via the PU and PEOU, with SI being the most influential factor. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing ECF platform design, fostering investor trust, and enhancing regulatory frameworks to facilitate financial inclusion and innovation in the Thai crowdfunding landscape.

    Equity Crowdfunding (ECF) has emerged as a significant financing tool for early-stage ventures in Thailand, attracting a diverse investor base. Considering the novelty of ECF platforms as non-bank equity investment options, investigating these investors' decisions is essential, even though this is an under-researched area despite ECF's rising popularity. This study aims to identify the key factors influencing investment decisions in ECF and establish a conceptual framework, with a particular focus on projects offering stock issuance through an ECF platform in Thailand. The framework is grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM3) and incorporates elements from the Information Systems Success Model (ISSM), Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT), and Social Influence (SI) factors. The intention to invest in an ECF platform serves as the dependent variable within this framework. The research presents a comprehensive model of ECF, intending to provide valuable insights to platform providers and policymakers. This understanding of investor behavior prior to investment could contribute to the growth and sustainability of ECF in Thailand.

    Gold(III) [Au(III)] complexes exhibit potential anticancer activities. A series of Au(III) porphyrin complexes containing different meso-substituent groups (phenyl, methoxyphenyl, butyloxyphenyl, octyloxyphenyl, and decyloxyphenyl) was synthesized. The synthesized compounds were characterized using mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, UV–visible and fluorescence spectroscopy, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity of these Au(III) porphyrin complexes was investigated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide surrogate viability assay on an MCF7 human breast cancer cell line. The Au(III) complexes with 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (AuTPP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methyloxyphenyl)porphyrin (AuTOMPP) demonstrated high anticancer activity with IC<inf>50</inf> values against MCF7 cells at 4.30 and 25.35 µM, respectively. The toxicity of the Au(III) porphyrin complexes against the LLC-MK2 rhesus monkey kidney epithelial cell line, a representative normal cell line, was investigated. All the tested Au(III) porphyrin complexes were non-cytotoxic in LLC-MK2 cells. For AuTPP, more than 80% LLC-MK2 cell viability was observed at concentrations lower than 5 μM.
