Artificial dissipative systems typically operate under batchwise fuel additions into closed reactors, leading to only transient nonequilibrium states. Alternative fueling approaches show how moving t...

Captured in water. A tetrasulfonated deep-cavity calix[4]arene encapsulates linear and cyclic alkanes, as well as benzene and hexafluorobenzene, in water by forming a self-assembled dimeric capsule. ....

Recent progress in the application of organocatalytic transformations under mechanochemical conditions shows excellent compatibility of these two concepts. Both covalent and noncovalent activation mo....

Acetonedisulfonic acid and some of its salts were structurally elucidated. Depending on the counterion, either strong hydrogen bonding or different coordination behaviors are found, showing the poten...

The Chemical Biology Services Team at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) is looking for a talented scientist with a flair for data curation to be responsible for the quality of chemical ...

Reactions of LiPR2 with BiCl3 selectively give diphosphanes R2P–PR2 in high yields, presumably via Bi─P homolysis. This includes challenging cases with bulky substituents R. Sterically encumbered dip....

This student-authored review highlights notable advances in synthetically enabled chemical biology from 2025, spanning bioconjugation and bioorthogonal chemistry, visualization and sensing, precision...

The choice of a counterion for a charged photocatalyst has long been overlooked. In this review, we summarize recent reports on counterion effects in photocatalysis, providing readers with a comprehe...

A metal-free visible-light strategy enables the synthesis of 1,2-diarylbenzimidazoles via riboflavin-based photocatalysis under mild conditions. Mechanistic and computational studies reveal a PCET-dr...

Cobalt-mediated photocatalytic cross-coupling has emerged as a powerful strategy for sustainable bond construction. This review highlights recent advances in visible-light-driven cobalt–photoredox du...

Bioorthogonal click chemistry tools provide a means for specific intracellular conjugation of molecules. In this study, we used reactive tetrazine (Tz) and TCO moieties for labeling of organelles and...

Proton‑transfer catalysis controls acylsemicarbazide dissociation, linking proton affinity to exchange kinetics and enabling predictive design of robust, tunable dynamic covalent networks.

A family of Pt(II)-salphen complexes with long alkyl chains is investigated as low-molecular-weight organogelators. Multi-scale characterization of their supramolecular gels reveals how the chain len...

This study derives general energetic predictors for pure pnictogen bonds from nitrogen to bismuth based on the potential energy density at the bond critical point. The research highlights the increas...
