Unlocking the Secrets of Roman Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis L.) Essential Oil: Structural Elucidation and Acute Toxicity of New Esters [PDF]
To address gaps in the characterization of Roman chamomile (Anthemis nobilis L., Asteraceae)—an ethnobotanically and commercially important species—we profiled its essential oil (EO), focusing on esters that are incompletely characterized or unreported ...

A SaBOX/Co catalyst designed for facile access to the challenging copolymers of vinyl ester and methacrylate [PDF]
Copolymerization of more activated methacrylates and less activated vinyl esters is challenging because of their large difference in reactivity ratio. This severely limits the development of high-performance materials.
