With demand for lithium soaring due to its escalating use in energy applications, the heavier organosodium compounds have started to be considered as alternatives in synthesis. Recent reports have...

Delving into the influence of strain on organic reactions in small molecules at the molecular level can unveil valuable insight into developing innovative synthetic strategies and structuring...

A concise approach was developed to construct figure-of-eight polycatenanes using preorganized double helicates as templates and crosslinking them with silver ions or ethynylene units. Employing...

A molecular scaffold for highly efficient all-red-light photoswitching with an outstanding performance and property profile has been developed, i.e. peri-anthracenethioindigo (PAT). The PAT photosw...

Binding to a template bends a photonic wire consisting of 18 meso-meso linked porphyrins into a ring, allowing covalent cyclization by Glaser coupling, to yield a strained nanoring. The 18-legged...

In this review, we explore the evolution of radical reactivity in bismuth compounds, tracing it back to the 19th century and delving into the key milestones that fueled its development. These...

Supramolecular interactions in the solid state (X-ray) and solution (mixtures of THF/H2O) control the photophysical properties! A singular 3D nanographene (Tetrahedraphene) shows a remarkable...

Undesired reaction pathways of open-shell graphene fragments can be synthetically useful! To demonstrate their transformative potential, we employed oxidative dimerization of phenalenyl to peropyre...

A new water-soluble corral-shaped conjugated host bearing ten sulfate groups at its two rims—namely, SC[5]A—was synthesized. SC[5]A not only exhibited ultrahigh binding affinities (up to 1011 M−1)...

We report on a readily available indole thiolate organocatalyst that, upon excitation with light, can activate via single electron reduction a wide variety of typically inert electron-rich substrat...

A quantitative inorganic click reaction that proceeds in solution in the absence of a catalyst has been used as a stoppering strategy for the synthesis of interlocked molecules in good yields (ca....

The review has clarified the reasons for the insufficient properties of fluorophores, including short absorption and emission wavelength, low brightness, poor stability, small Stokes shift, and...

We report a protocol for the reduction of amides to amines using a cationic BiIII catalyst with a tridentate ligand framework in combination with a simple and cheap silane as the reducing agent....

The first catalytic-in-metal undirected silylation of benzylic C(sp3)−H bonds under ambient, transition metal-free conditions is described. Using stable tert-butyl-substituted silyldiazenes (tBu−N=...

Antiaromatic dibenzopentalenes in nanohoop polymers invoke an intriguing interplay of linear vs. radial conjugation, depending on the electronic nature of the comomoner unit, and improved charge...
