Remote functionalisation via sodium alkylamidozincate intermediates : access to unusual fluorenone and pyridyl ketone reactivity patterns [PDF]
Treating fluorenone or 2-benzoylpyridine with the sodium zincate [(TMEDA)center dot Na(mu-Bu-t)(mu-TMP)Zn(Bu-t)] in hexane solution, gives efficient Bu-t addition across the respective organic substrate in a highly unusual 1,6-fashion, producing isolable

Engineering Trace‐Amount Electrolyte Additives for Aqueous Zinc Batteries
Large‐amount additives primarily modify the bulk electrolyte by coordinating with Zn2+ or reshaping the hydrogen‐bond network, thereby altering the overall solution chemistry. In contrast, trace‐amount additives mainly operate at the electrode–electrolyte interface, regulating Zn deposition through electric double‐layer modulation, interfacial ...

The Far Side of Carboranes: Anticancer Active Monocations and Ambiently Stable Dications
This work describes the synthesis of bench‐stable dicationic carboranes. Their enhanced electrophilicity is documented by opening the clusters with weak nucleophiles or dihydrogen. The surprising stability of positively charged carboranes in water enabled a study of their in vitro antiproliferative activity, which surpassed the effects of doxorubicin ...

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 vanadium‐dependent haloperoxidase (VHPO) class of enzymes has been shown to catalyze cryptic nitrile oxide generation in an oxidative [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between aldoximes and alkenes to generate isoxazolines. This biotechnology has been applied to a chemoenzymatic sequence starting from aldehydes through in situ condensation with ...
