Photoinduced Decatungstate-Catalyzed [3+2] Cycloaddition of Internal Alkynes Using Aliphatic Aldehydes as a Three-Carbon Synthon
In contrast to the prevalence of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, radical [3+2] annulations of alkynes are underexplored. Here, the authors describe [3+2] cycloadditions of various internal alkynes with readily accessible aliphatic aldehydes via photoinduced decatungstate catalysis.
Prying into biomolecular condensates using single-droplet surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
We introduce a highly sensitive methodology that captures key vibrational signatures using surface-engineered, plasmonic, metal nanoparticles spontaneously encapsulated into protein liquid droplets allowing us to unveil the inner workings of biomolecular condensates in a droplet-by-droplet manner.
