The present disclosure provides Molecular Recognition Technology (MRT) for selectively sequestering lithium from natural and synthetic brines, leachates, or other chemical mixtures. Also disclosed herein are MRT extractants, ligands, beads and methods of making and using thereof.

Pt-thixantphos-iodine complex and Pt-thixantphos-bromine complex, and the use thereof for catalysis of a hydroformylation reaction.

The present invention relates to an electrically doped semiconducting material comprising at least one metallic element as n-dopant and at least one electron transport matrix compound comprising at least one phosphine oxide group, a process for its preparation, and an electronic device comprising the electrically doped semiconducting material.

The present invention relates to a GPR84 receptor antagonist and use thereof. The GPR84 receptor antagonist of the present invention has a structure as represented by formula (I), the definitions of R1, R2, R3, R4, L.sub.1, L.sub.2, L.sub.3, L.sub.4, L.sub.5, L.sub.6, Y, Z, and rings A, B, C, and D are as described in the description and claims. The GPR84 receptor antagonist of the present invention can competitively inhibit the activation of the receptor caused by an agonist of GPR84, and can be used in the preparation of a medicament for treating related diseases caused by high expression or high excitability of GPR84 receptor, the diseases including multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and the like.
