Bifunctional Photocatalysts: Exploiting Proximity for Enhanced Reaction Performance
This review covers the application of the bifunctional approach to photocatalysis as a means to attain (enhanced) enantioselectivity, and, more in general, as a strategy to enhance the catalytic performance through an effective use of short‐lived reaction intermediates.

Thiosemicarbazone organocatalysis:Tetrahydropyranylation and 2-deoxygalactosylation reactions and kinetics-based mechanistic investigation [PDF]
Thiosemicarbazones are introduced as a new class of highly tunable and efficient organocatalysts. We showcase this by studies of the tetrahydropyranylation reaction, where insights to the mechanism was achieved by a double Hammett analysis of both the ...

Self‐Complementary Dimers Based on Zwitterionic Halogen Bond Donors
In this study we present the first isolated zwitterionic homodimers based on halogen bonding (XB). After optimization of the structures by changing the Lewis base (LB) and the backbone, their dimerization was observed in gas phase, as well as, in solid state.
