Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.An oxo–hydroxyl radical coupling mechanism is identified for O─O bond formation in Photosystem II within the low‐oxidation‐state paradigm. Ca‐bound W3 forms Ox in the S4 state and subsequently couples with O5. The resulting hydroperoxide intermediate provides a mechanistic explanation for the poor resolution of Ox in XFEL structures.

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.A series of N‐acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc)‐based electrophilic inhibitors targeting Ape esterase was synthesized. Their inhibitory potency ranged from micromolar to submillimolar. The study probed binding contributions of stem peptide extension, replacing the anomeric methyl group with a benzyl, and α‐fluorination of the carbonyl to enhance ...

Selective Formation of a 1,2‐Diborane(4) and Alcohol‐Driven B─B Bond Cleavage to Generate H2
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.Diborane(4) chemistry reveals unusual reactivity of electron‐deficient p‐block compounds. Reaction of B2Cat2 (Cat = benzene‐1,2‐diolate) with mesityllithium (MesLi; Mes = 2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl) gives a rare 1,2‐diborane(4) featuring a catecholate ligand. Alcoholysis cleaves the B─B bond and ultimately generates H2.

Hypervalent Iodine Phenol Dearomatization Mediated by Mechanochemistry
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.A solvent‐free mechanochemical process has been developed that enables the rapid oxidative dearomatization of phenols. This method produces spiranic dienones with decent to good yields. This process eliminates the need for expensive and environmentally harmful perfluorinated alcohols, such as hexafluoroisopropanol and trifluoroethanol, while adhering ...

Mit Oliven zur Batterie – Experimente zu Batterien mit unerwarteten Zutaten
CHEMKON, EarlyView.Der Umstieg auf erneuerbare Energien erfordert neue Speicherlösungen. Besonders im Fokus stehen dabei die Energiespeicherung aus regenerativen Energietechniken wie Solar‐ und Windkraft. Auch hinsichtlich der Speichertechnologie soll auf Nachhaltigkeit gesetzt werden, um eine sichere und umweltschonende Energiespeicherung zu ermöglichen.
