The discovery of building blocks offers new opportunities to develop and control properties of extended solids. Compounds with fluorite-type Bi2O2 blocks host various properties including lead-free ferroelectrics and photocatalysts. In this study, we show that triple-layered Bi2MO4 blocks (M = Bi, La, Y) in Bi2MO4Cl allow, unlike double-layered Bi2...

Nanosized cage-within-cage compounds represent a synergistic molecular self-assembling form of three-dimensional architecture that has received particular research focus. Building multilayered ultralarge cages to simulate complicated virus capsids is believed to be a tough synthetic challenge. Here, we synthesize two large double-shell supramolecul...

The P-stereogenic phosphinamides are a structurally novel skeletal class which has not been investigated as chiral organocatalysts. However, chiral cyclic 3-hydroxy ketones are widely used as building blocks in the synthesis of natural products and bioactive compounds. However, general and practical methods for the synthesis of such chiral compound...

A nonthermodynamic array of four skipped methylene substituents on the hydrophobic tail renders limaol, a C40-polyketide of marine origin, unique in structural terms. This conspicuous segment was assembled by a two-directional approach and finally coupled to the polyether domain by an allyl/alkenyl Stille reaction under neutral conditions. The core...

Amylases are key enzymes in the processing of starch in many kingdoms of life. They are important catalysts in industrial biotechnology where they are applied in, among others, food processing and the production of detergents. In man amylases are the first enzymes in the digestion of starch to glucose and arguably also the preferred target in thera...

The development of new methods for direct viral detection using streamlined and ideally reagent-free assays is a timely and important, but challenging, problem. The challenge of combatting the COVID-19 pandemic has been exacerbated by the lack of rapid and effective methods to identify viral pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 on-demand. Existing gold standa...

We report the development of in situ ( online ) EPR and coupled EPR/NMR methods to study redox flow batteries, which are applied here to investigate the redox-active electrolyte, 2,6-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DHAQ). The radical anion, DHAQ3–•, formed as a reaction intermediate during the reduction of DHAQ2–, was detected and its concentration quantif...

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions are fundamental to energy transformation reactions in natural and artificial systems and are increasingly recognized in areas such as catalysis and synthetic chemistry. The interdependence of proton and electron transfer brings a mechanistic richness of reactivity, including various sequential and c...

Despite the many methods available for the synthesis of furans, few methods remain that allow for the custom-made assembly of fully substituted furans. Here we report a powerful protocol to rapidly construct tetrasubstituted, orthogonally functionalized furans under mild reaction conditions. The developed method involves the regioselective ring-ope...
