How aerosols form when the molecule that smells like electricity reacts with the molecule that smells like pine trees
The oxidation of volatile organic compounds is a major contributor to atmospheric aerosol, which affects climate and health. The α-pinene and ozone system is particularly efficient in this regard, but how exactly do these two molecules lead to aerosol?

The amine-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura-type coupling of aryl halides and aryl boronic acids
The coupling of aryl halides and arylboronic acids is generally performed by metal-catalysed Suzuki–Miyaura reactions while metal-free approaches remain elusive. Here an organocatalytic approach based on amine catalysts is introduced for the preparation of commercially relevant asymmetric biaryls.
