This study explores the origins of life by linking prebiotic chemistry, the emergence of information‐carrying molecules such as RNA and proteins, and philosophical questions about consciousness. The study emphasizes the role of molecular evolution in the Central Dogma and provides insights into the chemical origins of biology and the basis of life's ...

Donor–Acceptor Pentacene Analogues With Near‐Infrared Emission and Tunable Aromaticity
Air‐ and photostable heterocyclic pentacene analogues with donor and acceptor groups flanking a para‐quinodimethane core exhibit large dipole moments, narrow bandgaps, reversible redox behavior, and NIR‐I to NIR‐II absorption and emission with pronounced solvatochromism.

Steering the Shape‐shifting of Bullvalene‐PdII Complexes Through Steric and Geometric Strain
This study explores the use of bis‐pyridyl substituted bullvalenes as dynamic shape‐shifting ligands within cis‐capped PdII complexes. The ring position of the pyridyl nitrogen is critical, leading to a range of Pd2L2 metallacycles and simple PdL complexes, each with distinctive bullvalene isomer preferences (represented in the figure by A‐D isomer ...

Predicting and Rationalizing Piezoelectricity in Racemic Bioorganic Molecular Crystals
Racemic molecular crystals, composed of equal mixtures of chiral enantiomeric components, are predicted to exhibit significant piezoelectric responses and favourable mechanical flexibility. This study identifies organic and bioorganic racemates as promising candidates for sustainable, lead‐free materials, enabling next‐generation applications in energy

The second‐generation crystalline sponge method allows structurally diverse molecular guests to crystallize under standardized crystallization conditions. The key is the predominant packing type of cages and anions in crystals. ABSTRACT Crystallization is typically highly sensitive to even minor structural differences in target molecules.

Chiral cyclopropenimine–thiourea organocatalysts enabled both high reactivity and precise stereocontrol in the ring‐opening polymerization of rac‐lactide. The bifunctional system exhibited a TOF up to 1,710 h−1 with Pm = 0.90 at 25°C, and achieved Pm = 0.99 at −78°C while maintaining a TOF of 16.3 h−1.

Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Polymerization
Acceptor‐less dehydrogenative polymerization (ADP) enables the atom‐economic step‐growth synthesis of different type of polymers directly from simple alcohols, releasing H2 as the sole by‐product. This review outlines the mechanistic foundations, catalytic systems, and emerging polymer architectures of ADP, highlighting its potential as a sustainable ...

Photoenzymatic Hydroalkylation Enables Streamlined Access to Aryl Glutarimide Precursors
We report a photoenzymatic hydroalkylation that enables streamlined, stereocontrolled access to aryl glutarimide precursors relevant to targeted protein degradation. Engineered flavin‐dependent “ene”‐reductases provide broad scope and high enantioselectivity through a distinct electron transfer–enantioselective proton transfer pathway.

Hydrogen Atom Transfer Induces Photodegradation in Carbonyl‐Based Multi‐Resonance TADF Emitters
Boosting triplet harvesting in N/C═O MR‐TADF emitters unexpectedly induces rapid photodegradation under oxygen‐free conditions. Spectroscopic studies reveal that triplet excited states trigger hydrogen‐atom transfer from solvent to the carbonyl unit, driven by triplet energetics and hydrogen electrophilicity.

Gas‐phase complexation of chiral methyloxirane by achiral phenol results in induced chiroptical response of phenol. Two pseudo enantiomer complexes are observed, corresponding to hydrogen bonding from phenol to either of the lone electron pair of the methyloxirane oxygen, denoted as Pro R and Pro S, with opposite chiral deformation of phenol and ...
