Isonitrile Photochemistry: A Functional Group Class Coming in from the Cold
Isonitriles, often neglected for their unpleasant smell, have fascinated many generations of chemists thanks to unique reactivity modes. The present concept article, by retracing the seeds of isonitrile photochemistry, points out the hidden opportunities offered by visible light photo(redox) catalysis to promote key advancements in the field.

Bifunctional 2,6‐dipicolinoylbis(N,N‐diethylthioureas) (H2LEt) form tellurium compounds of a remarkable structural variety. Tellurium(IV) or tellurium(II) products are formed depending on the reaction conditions applied. The formation of heterobimetallic products is observed when transition metal ions are present in such reaction mixtures. They contain

From small to large—The application of in situ polymerization within tumor cells
In situ polymerization within tumor cells can be achieved by chain‐reaction polymerization and step‐growth polymerization. The former is classified as light‐triggered, transition metals‐triggered, reactive oxygen species‐triggered, and enzyme‐triggered polymerization based on the mode of initiation, while the latter includes condensation polymerization

Halogen, Chalcogen, Pnictogen, and Tetrel Bonding in Non‐Covalent Organocatalysis: An Update
Recent developments on the use of non‐transient non‐covalent interactions based on elements of groups 14–17 in organic synthesis and organocatalysis are discussed. While halogen and chalcogen bonding are now clearly established in this area, applications of pnictogen and particularly tetrel bonding are only starting to emerge.

A Highly Sterically Encumbered Boron Lewis Acid Enabled by an Organotellurium‐Based Ligand
The new boron Lewis acid B[OTeF3(C6F5)2]3 combines one of the most sterically encumbered boron centres with a Lewis acidity comparable to that of B(C6F5)3. It additionally provides ligand transfer reactivity towards fluoride compounds as shown in the synthesis of an Au(III) complex and a hypervalent iodine species. Abstract Lewis acidic boron compounds

Aggregation‐induced emission polymers via reversible‐deactivation radical polymerization
Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) active polymers have a wide range of practical applications, and one of the important methods for the design and synthesis of AIE polymers is the use of reversible‐deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) techniques.

A perylene diimide derivative is synthesized and used as photoinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate. Surface‐initiated polymerization confirms the controlled characteristic by exploiting the presence of terminal bromine on the surface of the particles obtained by suspension.
