Natural Aging of Biomaterials in Ambient and Physiological Environments
Biomaterials used in biomedical applications can change their physical properties over time, even under ambient and physiological conditions. This review highlights key studies on the natural aging of materials ranging from soft hydrogels to metals and ceramics, emphasizing how time‐dependent changes influence function and performance.

Anionic high‐spin iron(II) imido complexes are catalysts for the hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) reaction with pyridine as the substrate. The alkali metal counter‐cation plays critical roles in activating the substrate and facilitating deuteration. These complexes catalyze site‐selective α‐, α,β,γ‐, and β,γ‐deuteration of pyridine, where the counter ...

Covalently linked carbazole dimers exhibit intense excimer‐based circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). A simple propylene‐tethered dimer achieves glum ≈ 0.01 in the violet region—among the highest for small organic emitters without heavy atoms. Conformational mapping reveals CPL is governed by thermodynamic/kinetic control of emissive conformers ...

Room‐Temperature Gas‐Phase CO2‐to‐C3 Coupling by a 4f‐Aromatic Cluster
We engineered a 4f metalla aromatic cluster, PrB2C2−, that enables efficient sequential C−C coupling with CO2 at room temperature, yielding a linear C3 backbone. This system provides a complete theoretical catalytic cycle and establishes a new design principle for lanthanide mediated CO2 activation.

Intermolecular Electrophilic Germylation Using GeCl4 and Al2Cl6
While electrophilic aromatic substitution is well‐established for carbon and silicon‐based electrophiles, it is extremely underdeveloped for germanium. Herein we report the first effective intermolecular Germa–Friedel–Crafts reaction. The process can be modified to enable selective synthesis of the mono‐ or the di‐aryl germane derivatives, ArGeCl3 and ...
