Over the past decade, the use of photocatalysts (PCs) in controlled polymerization has
brought new opportunities in sophisticated macromolecular synthesis. However, the …

Flavylium compounds are a well-known family of pigments because they are prevalent in the
plant kingdom, contributing to colors over a wide range from shades of yellow-red to blue in …

Chemical reaction networks that transform out-of-equilibrium 'fuel'to 'waste'are the engines
that power the biomolecular machinery of the cell. Inspired by such systems, autonomous …

Chiroptical switches, whose chiral optical signals such as optical rotatory dispersion (ORD),
circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) are reversibly …

There is an ever-increasing demand for higher-performing polymeric materials
counterbalanced by the need for sustainability throughout the life cycle. Copolymers …

Directed motion at the nanoscale is a central attribute of life, and chemically driven motor
proteins are nature's choice to accomplish it. Motivated and inspired by such …

Sustainable solvents are a topic of growing interest in both the research community and the
chemical industry due to a growing awareness of the impact of solvents on pollution, energy …

This review considers phosphine and N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of gold (I) that are
used as (pre) catalysts for a range of reactions in organic synthesis. These are divided …

Artificial molecular machines have captured the imagination of scientists and nonscientists
alike for decades now, given their clear potential to transform and enhance all aspects of …

The adoption of a supramolecular approach in catalysis promises to address a number of
unmet challenges, ranging from activity (unlocking of novel reaction pathways) to selectivity …
