Halide Perovskite Photocatalysts In article number http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/solr.202200294, Jin Wang, Zhengquan Li, and co‐workers developed a halide perovskite photocatalyst with long‐lived charge carriers by doping Mn as an electron storage. This work provides an effective strategy to regulate charge transfer pathways and achieve high‐efficient halide perovskite photocatalytic systems.

The halogen bonding complexes H 2 O ⋯ M ( M = F 2, ClF , and CF 4) in comparison with the hydrogen bonding H 2 O ⋯ HF complex are studied by high-level ab initio calculations and electron topological atoms-in-molecules (AIM) analyses. The basis set superposition error corrections are important to predict if the structures are in good agreement with the experimental results. Both the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations and the AIM analyses indicate a interaction strength order: H 2 O ⋯ HF > H 2 O ⋯ ClF ⋯ H 2 O ⋯ F 2 ⋯ H 2 O ⋯ CF 4, with the interaction energies –7.91, –4.16, –1.11, and –1.05 kcal/mol, respectively. The symmetry-adapted perturbation theory analyses have been carried out towards understanding of the nature of the halogen bonding interactions in the complexes H 2 O ⋯ M ( M = F 2, ClF , and CF 4), where the exchange energies are the predominant repulsive components. For the complexes involving polar monomers, the hydrogen bonding H 2 O ⋯ HF and the halogen bonding H 2 O ⋯ ClF , the largest attractive contributions are the electrostatic energies. However, in H 2 O ⋯ F 2 and H 2 O ⋯ CF 4, the attractive dispersion energies become more important, and the induction energy in the former complex is a little higher than that in the latter. In contrary to the red-shifts of H – F , Cl – F , and F – F bond stretching vibrational frequencies in the complexes H 2 O ⋯ M ( M = HF , ClF , and F 2), the blue-shifts are predicted for C – F bonds neighboring water in H 2 O ⋯ CF 4.

Rice panicles, a major component of yield, are regulated by phytohormones and nutrients. How mineral nutrients promote panicle architecture remains largely unknown. Here, we report that NIN-LIKE PROTEIN3 and 4 (OsNLP3/4) are crucial positive regulators of rice panicle architecture in response to nitrogen (N). Loss-of- function mutants of eitherOsNLP3orOsNLP4produced smaller panicles with reduced primary and secondary branches and fewer grains compared with wild type, whereas their overexpression plants showed the opposite phenotypes. Notably, the OsNLP3/4-regulated panicle architecture was positively correlated with N availability. OsNLP3/4 directly bind to the promoter ofOsRFLand activate its expression to promote inflorescence meristem development. Furthermore, OsRFL activatesOsMOC1expression by binding to its promoter. Our findings reveal the novel N- responsive OsNLP3/4-OsRFL-OsMOC1 module that integrates N availability to regulate panicle architecture, shedding light on how nutrient signals regulate panicle architecture and providing candidate targets for the improvement of crop yield.
