The resulting DMT can be directly fed into continuous pharmaceutical synthesis, showcasing an energy‑efficient pathway to upcycle commodity plastics.

Using this approach, the authors developed a continuous one‑pot milling–methanolysis process that depolymerizes PET without external heating.

Bead‑milling pretreatment dramatically accelerates low‑temperature PET methanolysis by reducing polymer molecular weight, with efficiency strongly dependent on bead material and solvent choice.

Their photophysical properties were comprehensively investigated both experimentally and theoretically to elucidate the effect of structural modification.

In this manuscript, the authors have successfully synthesized a new family of [6]helicene derivatives, which are fused with six-membered B←N heterocycle, via N-directed electrophilic borylation of 2- pyridyl-substituted [6]helicene precursors.
