Motivated by the recent achievements in the realization of strongly correlated and topological phases in twisted van der Waals heterostructures, we study the low-energy properties of a twisted bilayer of nodal superconductors. It is demonstrated that the spectrum of the superconducting Dirac quasiparticles close to the gap nodes is strongly renormalized by twisting and can be controlled with magnetic fields, current, or interlayer voltage. In particular, the application of an interlayer current transforms the system into a topological superconductor, opening a topological gap and resulting in a quantized thermal Hall effect with gapless, neutral edge modes. Close to the "magic angle," where the Dirac velocity of the quasiparticles is found to vanish, a correlated superconducting state breaking time-reversal symmetry is shown to emerge. Estimates for a number of superconducting materials, such as cuprate, heavy fermion, and organic nodal superconductors, show that twisted bilayers of nodal superconductors can be readily realized with current experimental techniques.

Pyridines undergo site selective cross-coupling with secondary phosphine chalcogenides (oxides, sulfides, and selenides) in the presence of acylphenylacetylenes under metal-free mild conditions (70-75 °C, MeCN) to afford 4-chalcogenophosphoryl pyridines in up to 71% yield. In this new type of SNHAr reaction acylacetylenes act as oxidants, being stereoselectively reduced to the corresponding olefins of the E-configuration.

Terminal acylacetylenes, typical electron-deficient acetylenes, drive SNH cross-coupling of pyridines with secondary phosphine chalcogenides under metal-free mild conditions (20–75 °C) to afford 4-chalcogenophosphorylpyridines in up to 70% yield. The reaction...
