Responsive deep eutectic solvents: mechanisms, applications and their role in sustainable chemistry
Phase separation induced by responsive deep eutectic solvents upon temperature, CO2 or pH stimulus, allowing analyte recovery and solvent recycling and reuse.
Synthesis of chiral N-free sulfinamides by asymmetric condensation of stable sulfinates and ammonium salts
An organocatalytic approach using stable, cost-effective ammonium salts for asymmetric sulfinylation, achieving a broad range of enantioenriched sulfinamides was disclosed.
Cobalt catalysed cross-dehydrogenative coupling of indoles: a photoinduced ligand to metal charge transfer process
We demonstrate the participation of cobalt in a photoinduced LMCT process, which leads to the formation of ligand-based radical species and enables both homo and hetero cross-dehydrogenative coupling of indoles with decent yield.
Peptide-induced chirality transfer and circularly polarized luminescence in achiral BODIPY emitters via halogen bonding
This paper reports hierarchical assemblies and chiral induction in achiral BODIPY emitters through peptide-mediated halogen bonding, leading to circularly polarized luminescence with a remarkably high glum value of −1.2 (±0.075) × 10−2.
Unlocking an additive-free and catalyst-free dual approach for reduction of amides to amines
A two-fold strategy to convert amides to amines in the presence of dimethylamine-borane as the hydrogen source is reported. Several amides undergo reduction to the corresponding amines swiftly in good-to-excellent yields.
Headpiece-assisted DNA data storage in solution and solid
A headpiece was introduced in the construction of a DNA-based data storage platform.

Ligand binding characteristics of an NAD+ riboswitch revealed by FRET and biolayer interferometry
A gene regulating RNA was analyzed using single-molecule and bulk fluorescence and biolayer interferometry, revealing ligand-dependent structural switching behavior.
Stabilizing Ni catalysts in biogas reforming via in situ carbon deposit removal by CeO2 oxygen vacancies
Surface oxygen vacancies (Ov) in the catalyst facilitate an in situ consumption mechanism, effectively eliminating carbon deposits for biogas reforming.
