The carbon− carbon triple bond of alkynes is one of the basic functional groups, its reactions
belonging to the foundations of organic chemistry. In the past decades, acetylene chemistry …

Natural product synthesis is a highly demanding field in constant need of efficient
transformations that allow either straightforward, scalable, and high-yielding preparation of …

Alkyne has a unique Raman band that does not overlap with Raman scattering from any
endogenous molecule in live cells. Here, we show that alkyne-tag Raman imaging (ATRI) is …

Linear, sp-hybridised, 1-dimensional (1D) all-carbon wires are conceptually the simplest π-
conjugated organic molecules. Their fundamental experimental and theoretical properties …

The combination of photoredox and transition metal catalysis, which is termed
metallaphotoredox catalysis, is a powerful platform for building complex molecules under …

Conjugated alkynes are recurring building blocks in natural products, a wide range of
industrial intermediates, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and molecular materials for …

Transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions have become a versatile tool for chemical
bond formation. From the variation of the coupling partners, coupling reactions can be …

Over the past fifty years, hundreds of polyyne compounds have been isolated from nature.
These often unstable molecules are found in sources as common as garden vegetables and …

In contrast to transition metal-catalysed C–H functionalisation, highly efficient construction of
C–C and C–X (X= N, O, S, B, Si, etc.) bonds through metal-free catalytic C–H …

Here we describe the application of a new click chemistry method for fluorescent tracking of
protein synthesis in individual microorganisms within environmental samples. This …
