Supramolecular masks at an exquisite level of performance

To gain deeper insights into the old questions about the influence of water on radiation interaction with DNA, new spectroscopic techniques had to be applied.

The "forbidden" alkene regioisomer during The Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction of acrylates and styrenes, i.e. the alpha coupling product, is now achieved by employing substrate– or zeolite–hindered chemical enviroments with palladium single atom and sub–nanometric cluster catalysts.

The Fletcher group has previously developed a Rh-catalysed asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura type cross-coupling of racemic halides with arylboronic acids. Here, we explore the mechanism of this highly enantioselective transformation (https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41929-021-00589-y).

Synchronous behavior is widely observed in nature from firefly flashing in animals(1), sounds of hands clapping in human(2), heart and neural rhythm in biology(3,4) to nonmechanical oscillators(5,6) in the physical world...
