The journal Chemistry-A European Journal included in the Hot Topic on C-C coupling the recently published review “Mechanistic Aspects of the Palladium-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction”. Among the different reactions that lead to the formation of C-C bonds, the Suzuki-Miyaura approach has a fundamental role, at the level of basic research and industrial applications. In particular, the palladium

The journal Catalysis Science & Technology features on its front cover the recently published research article “Simultaneous screening of multiple substrates with an unspecific peroxygenase enabled modified alkane and alkene oxyfunctionalisations”, a collaboration between the research teams of Jun.-Prof. Martin Weissenborn (Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry, Halle (Saale)) and Dr. Marc Garcia-Borràs. In this project,
The journal Journal of Materials Chemistry C features on its front cover the recently published paper “Photoinduced electron transfer in mechanically interlocked suit[3]ane systems”. Suitanes, a new class of two-component mechanically interlocked systems, have recently been developed. In this work, we report a detailed study of photoinduced electron-transfer processes in suit[3]anes consisting of a 3-fold
The journal Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis features on its front cover the recently published paper “Aromatic C?H Hydroxylation Reactions with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Bulky Manganese Complexes”. The oxidation of aromatic substrates to phenols with H2O2 as a benign oxidant remains an ongoing challenge in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we successfully achieved to catalyze aromatic C?H
The journal European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry features on its front cover the recently published minireview “Fundamental Basis for Implementing Oxidant-Free Au(I)/Au(III) Catalysis”. Oxidant-free Au(I)/Au(III) catalysis can still be regarded as a young and promising chemistry. Because the first examples of gold catalysis were limited to the activation and functionalization of ?-C?C bonds and very little was
The journal Organometallics features on its front cover the recently published article “Well-Defined Aryl-Fe(II) Complexes in Cross-Coupling and C–H Activation Processes”. Iron embedded in a tetradentate N3C macrocyclic ligand scaffold allows the stabilization of valuable low-spin aryl-Fe(II) species, permitting the study of the intrinsic organometallic reactivity of these key intermediates in Fe-catalyzed cross-coupling and C-H
Recently, in collaboration with M. von Delius and co-workers from the Ulm University, a new paper was published by E. Ubasart, C. Fuertes-Espinosa, C. Garíca-Simón, L. Gómez, X. Ribas on a three-shell supramolecular complex enables the symmetry-mismatched chemo- and regioselective bis-functionalization of C60. The paper was recently published online in Nature Chemistry: E. Ubasart, O. Borodin,
Recently, in collaboration with Matthias Bickelhaupt and co-workers from the VU University Amsterdam, a new paper was published by Marcel Swart on the competition between bimolecular substitution vs. elimination pathways. Model systems of X(-) and C2H5Y (X,Y = F, Cl, Br, I, At) were used to explore the nucleophilicity and protophilicity, at the ZORA-OLYP/TZ2P level
Chemical Communication features on its front cover the recently published article “All-metal Baird aromaticity”. The work has been carried out by Prof. Jun Zhu at the University of Xiamen and Dandan Chen, Dr. Dariusz W. Szczepanik, and Prof. Miquel Solà (members of the IQCC). The cover is the result of the artistic inspiration of Dandan Chen. The
Chemistry-A European Journal in one of its upcoming issues will feature on the front cover work from the group of Prof. Solà and co-workers, which accompanies the paper titled “Probing the origin of adaptive aromaticity in 16?valence?electron metallapentalenes”. In the Cover Profile, the authors explain to the reader the background of the scientific merits of the
