The Red Sea Crisis : ramifications for vessel operations, shipping networks, and maritime supply chains
Rapid one-step synthesis of robust double perovskite La2MgGeO6-based materials for light conversion
Persistent luminescence (PersL) materials attract extensive interest in the scientific community nowadays due to their great potential in various fields, such as night-vision signage, high-level anticounterfeiting, in vivo bioimaging, and X-ray extension imaging. However, the majority of PersL materials are synthesized by time- and energy-consuming...
Structure and Properties of Metallosupramolecular Polymers with a Nitrogen-Based Bidentate Ligand
The solid-state properties of supramolecular polymers that feature metal-ligand (ML) complexes are, in addition to the general nature of the monomer, significantly affected by the choice of ligand and metal salt. Indeed, the variation of these components can be used to alter the structural, thermal, mechanical, and viscoelastic properties over a wi...

How can we possibly resolve the planet's nitrogen dilemma?
...
Nitrogen is the most crucial element in the production of nutritious feeds and foods. The production of reactive nitrogen by means of fossil fuel has thus far been able to guarantee the protein supply for the world population. Yet, the production and massive use of fertilizer nitrogen constitute a major threat in terms of environmental health and s...
Rational synthesis of elusive organic-inorganic hybrid metal-oxo clusters : formation and post-functionalization of hexa...
Paving the way towards new functional materials relies increasingly on the challenging task of forming organic-inorganic hybrid compounds. In that regard, discrete atomically-precise metal-oxo nanoclusters have received increasing attention due to the wide range of organic moieties that can be grafted onto them through functionalization reactions. ...
Poly(2-n-propyl-2-oxazoline)/tannic acid nanocapsules with in-situ synthesized gold nanorods for cancer theranostics
The concept of hollow polymeric capsules fabricated with thermoresponsive polymers has revealed immense possibilities in the field of nanomedicine due to their tunable temperature and pH responsiveness caused by lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. Herein, we report a new methodology to in-situ synthesize gold nanorods (AuNRs) withi...

A one-component phosphonium borane Lewis pair serves as a dual initiator and catalyst in the ring-opening alternating co...
Lewis pairs as synergistic catalysts have demonstrated versatile adaptabilities towards different monomers. Herein, we converted a bi-component Lewis pair into a one-component Lewis pair by integrating a Lewis acid and ionic Lewis base within one molecule to enhance the synergistic effect on the polymerization reaction. To exemplify the design stra...
