(Hetero) aromatic compounds are vastly available and easy to functionalise building blocks
in the chemical industry. Asymmetric arene hydrogenation enables direct access to complex …

Nitroxides, also known as nitroxyl radicals, are long-lived or stable radicals with the general
structure R1R2N–O•. The spin distribution over the nitroxide N and O atoms contributes to …

Formic acid (FA, HCO2H) receives considerable attention as a hydrogen storage material. In
this respect, hydrogenation of CO2 to FA and dehydrogenation of FA are crucial reaction …

The design of artificial catalysts able to compete with the catalytic proficiency of enzymes is
an intense subject of research. Non-covalent interactions are thought to be involved in …

Chirality (handedness; left or right) is an intrinsic feature of various levels of matter. 1À4
Molecular chirality usually refers to a pair of molecules that cannot be superimposed onto …

Supramolecular catalysis is a rapidly expanding discipline which has benefited from the
development of both homogeneous catalysis and supramolecular chemistry. The properties …

Owing to the potential applications in technological areas such as gas storage, catalysis,
separation, sensing and nonlinear optics, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the …

Many industrial catalysts contain isolated metal sites on the surface of oxide supports.
Although such catalysts have been used in a broad range of processes for more than 40 …

This Review describes the application of nitroxides to synthesis and polymer chemistry. The
synthesis and physical properties of nitroxides are discussed first. The largest section …

Conventional synthesis of inorganic materials relies heavily on water and organic solvents.
Alternatively, the synthesis of inorganic materials using, or in the presence of, ionic liquids …
