Over the past several years, our laboratory has developed synthetic strategies to access highly functionalized nitrogen heterocycles with multiple stereogenic centers. This approach centers on the efficient preparation of diverse 1,2-dihydropyridines by a Rh-catalyzed C-H bond alkenylation/electrocyclization cascade from readily available α,β-unsaturated imines and alkynes. The often densely substituted 1,2-dihydropyridine products have proven to be extremely versatile intermediates that can be elaborated with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity, often without purification or even isolation. Protonation or alkylation followed by addition of hydride or carbon nucleophiles affords tetrahydropyridines with divergent regioselectivity and stereoselectivity depenagonist (-)-naltrexone, which is extensively used for the treatment of drug abuse.We demonstrate systematic tuning in the optical bandgaps of molecular crystals achieved by the generation of molecular alloys/solid solutions of a series of diphenyl dichalcogenides-characterized by weak chalcogen bonding interactions involving S, Se, and Te atoms. Despite the variety in chalcogen bonding interactions found in this series of dichalcogenide crystals, they show isostructural interaction topologies, enabling the formation of solid solutions. The alloy crystals exhibit Vegard's law-like trends of variation in their unit cell dimensions and a nonlinear trend for the variation in optical bandgaps with respect to their compositions. Energy-dispersive X-ray and spatially resolved Raman spectroscopic studies indicate significant homogeneity in the domain structure of the solid solutions. Quantum periodic calculati
