Did you know that 99% of synthetic diamonds are currently produced using high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) methods? A prevailing paradigm is that diamonds can only be grown using liquid metal catalysts in the gigapascal pressure ran... Read More
Abstract Oxidation of unactivated alkanes, which requires substantial energy for conversion to valuable organic chemicals, is a major challenge in both industry and academia. Herein, we describe how solvents affect and improve the catalytic... Read More
Abstract When navigated by the available energy of a system, often provided in the form of heat, physical processes or chemical reactions fleet on a free-energy landscape, thus changing the structure. In in situ transmission electron micros... Read More
Abstract Recently, transition-metal terminal nonoxo complexes have shown a remarkable ability to activate and functionalize C–H bonds via proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). Here we report the first example of a mononuclear manganese(I... Read More
Abstract Emerging light–matter interactions in metal–semiconductor hybrid platforms have attracted considerable attention due to their potential applications in optoelectronic devices. Here, we demonstrate plasmon-induced near-field manipul... Read More
Abstract Origami, known as paper folding has become a fascinating research topic recently. Origami-inspired materials often establish mechanical properties that are difficult to achieve in conventional materials. However, the materials base... Read More
Abstract Increasing the chemical diversity of organic semiconductors is essential to develop efficient electronic devices. In particular, the replacement of carbon-carbon (C−C) bonds with isoelectronic boron-nitrogen (B−N) bonds allows prec... Read More
Abstract Flexible organic electronics can be used to create wearable devices but the synthesis of organic electronic materials typically involves hazardous solvents, creates toxic by-products and has various other environmental and economic... Read More
Abstract Millions of tons of acetyl derivatives such as acetic acid and acetic anhydride are produced each year. These building blocks of chemical industry are elaborated into esters, amides, and eventually polymer materials, pharmaceutical... Read More
Abstract The versatile applications of nitrile have led to the widespread use of nitrile activation in the synthesis of pharmacologically and industrially valuable compounds. We reported the activation of nitriles using mononuclear cobalt(I... Read More
