Structural diversity in alkali metal and alkali metal magnesiate chemistry of the bulky 2,6-diisopropyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)anilino ligand [PDF]
Bulky amido ligands are precious in s-block chemistry since they can implant complementary strong basic and weak nucleophilic properties within compounds. Recent work has shown the pivotal importance of the base structure with enhancement of basicity and

Polysilane‐Supported Nickel as an Efficient Catalyst for the Hydrogenation of Aromatic Compounds†
A Ni/Si catalyst obtained from the reaction of poly(monohydro)silane with Ni(cod)2 serves as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the hydrogenation of arenes under reaction conditions that are significantly milder than those required for conventional nickel‐based catalysts such as Raney nickel.

Volatile hydrocarbons inhibit methanogenic crude oil degradation [PDF]
Methanogenic degradation of crude oil in subsurface sediments occurs slowly, but without the need for exogenous electron acceptors, is sustained for long periods and has enormous economic and environmental consequences.

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

β-Cyclodextrins grafted with chiral amino acids: A promising supramolecular stabilizer of nanoparticles for asymmetric hydrogenation? [PDF]
International audienceWater-soluble ruthenium nanoparticles stabilized by randomly methylated β-cyclodextrins (RaMeCDs) grafted with chiral amino-acid moieties like l-alanine (Ala) and l-leucine (Leu) were prepared in aqueous solution by two approaches: (

Nickel-Catalyzed Carbon–Carbon Bond-Forming Reactions of Unactivated Tertiary Alkyl Halides: Suzuki Arylations [PDF]
The first Suzuki cross-couplings of unactivated tertiary alkyl electrophiles are described. The method employs a readily accessible catalyst (NiBr[subscript 2]·diglyme/4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine, both commercially available) and represents the ...

This study focuses on the supramolecular self‐assembly of a newly developed family of compounds featuring s‐tetrazine. In particular, we highlight structure‐property relations and how gelation and mesogenic properties can be directed as a consequence of different side chains introduced in the system.
