	Digestive ripening (DR) of a physical mixture of different metal nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of a suitable ligand is demonstrated to be a convenient way to obtain alloy NPs. The results show that the right choice of metal-ligand combination is extremely important for efficient alloying. The results are rationalized on the basis of hard soft acid base principles, and it is concluded that better alloying ensues if DR is carried out with soft ligands when soft metals are being used and hard ligands facilitate alloying between hard metals. On the other hand, when a physical mixture of hard-soft metals is taken, ligands with intermediate character work better. The results presented here could prove to be extremely valuable and open new avenues of making interesting alloy/intermetallic systems.</p>

	A novel pH-controlled electrochemical method has been developed for the selective conversion of acetanilide into two value-added products, i.e., paracetamol and hydroquinone, via dual and tunable reaction pathways. It is shown that by adjusting the pH, and varying the electrolyte and the reaction environment specific oxidative transformations could be favored, allowing fine control over product selectivity and yield. This entire process is carried out under mild ambient conditions, eliminating the need for hazardous oxidants, specialized catalysts, or high temperatures, thereby supporting green chemistry principles. The electrochemical process also demonstrated excellent functional group tolerance, high atom economy, and minimal waste generation, highlighting its environmental and economic benefits. Its operational simplicity and scalability make it an attractive alternative to traditional multi-step methods for producing key intermediates used in drug manufacturing, fine chemicals, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and the polymer industry. This work showcases the potential of strategic electrochemical pH modulation as a powerful tool for sustainable chemical synthesis utilizing electrochemical organic transformations.</p>
