We report a new class of phenanthroline–squaramide foldamers (1–3) that adopt robust, single-helical conformations in both solution and the solid state, stabilised by intramolecular hydrogen bonding...

Although nitrite-to-nitric oxide (NO) transformation from the interactions between a thiol and nitrite at classical transition-metal sites is well known in the context of understanding the enzymatic...

Detailed mechanistic investigations illustrate a proton-coupled electron transfer-type pathway for the 1H+/1e- oxidation of substituted phenols mediated by the benchtop stable copper(II) chloride...

Nature Communications - Although uranium-nitrogen multiple bonding is well developed, there are far fewer uranium-phosphorus and -arsenic multiple bonds, and none for antimony, even in...

A detailed synthetic, crystallographic, and spectroscopic investigation demonstrates that the hitherto elusive di-n-butylcalcium is accessible and stable at low temperature, and can be used for...

The potassium aluminyl K[Al(NON)] reacts with Ge[N(SiMe3)2]2 by a sequential reductive deamination pathway. The initially formed aluminacyclodigermene contains Ge(I) centres and may be considered as...

The alkaline earth metals are notorious for their tendency to form ionic compounds of their dications. In recent years, however, chemists have found ways to kinetically skirt around the edges of...

Alkylsilanes (Csp3–Si(OR)3) possess significant potential for forging Csp3–C bonds via cross-coupling reactions. Nonetheless, there is a paucity of alkyl–Si(OR)3 synthesis. Hydrofunctionalization via...

In recent years, active efforts to assess similarities and differences in the reactivity of isostructural magnesium and zinc complexes have witnessed reasonable growth. The advancements in their...

In recent years, active efforts to assess similarities and differences in the reactivity of isostructural magnesium and zinc complexes have witnessed reasonable growth. The advancements in their...

Eumelanin, a ubiquitous pigment in animals, is known for its ability to protect against UV-induced damage by efficiently dissipating energy as heat. Despite its importance, the mechanisms underlying...

Tri-aryl-substituted bismuth(III) complexes exhibit superior anion (Cl−) binding affinity and perform as a better organocatalysts as compared to their antimony analogues. Additionally, the impact of...

The arene-encapsulated M+ cations of the group 1 alumanyls, [{SiNDipp}AlM]2 ({SiNDipp} = {CH2SiMe2N(Dipp)}2; Dipp = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3); M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs] may be interconverted by redox reactions...
