Counterion Effects on the Properties and Reactivity of Charged Photoredox Catalysts
The choice of a counterion for a charged photocatalyst has long been overlooked. In this review, we summarize recent reports on counterion effects in photocatalysis, providing readers with a comprehensive theoretical understanding and synthetic applications for the use of a carefully chosen counterion. Electrostatic interactions represent the strongest

Trifluoromethylation‐Induced Lactonization: A Novel Transformation of Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids
Fluorinated drugs often contain trifluoromethyl groups. The increasing importance of such drugs has resulted in more and more attention toward new or improved trifluoromethylation reactions. This review discusses possible reaction mechanisms and existing methods for one such process, trifluoromethylation‐induced lactonization, a distant relative of the

Redirecting a Native Ene‐Reductase Toward Desaturation With Reverse Enantioselectivity
A native ene‐reductase, XenA, was repurposed to catalyze the reverse‐enantioselective desaturation of cyclohexanones. The final variant was obtained through extensive protein engineering, combining PROSS‐guided computational design with mutagenesis and screening.
