1,8‐DHN is an important intermediate to form complex aromatic ring systems. Phenol‐coupling reactions are important for the dimerization of two molecules. Here, we show that a fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzes specific C─C bonds. ABSTRACT Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) derivatives are precursors of biologically important molecules, including melanin ...

Advancing Energy Materials by In Situ Atomic Scale Methods
Progress in in situ atomic scale methods leads to an improved understanding of new and advanced energy materials, where a local understanding of complex, inhomogeneous systems or interfaces down to the atomic scale and quantum level is required. Topics from photovoltaics, dissipation losses, phase transitions, and chemical energy conversion are ...

Vacuum‐Induced Surface Reconstruction of Mn–Ce Oxides for Low‐Temperature Coupled Redox Catalysis
Near‐surface reconstruction enhances low‐temperature redox catalysis in Mn–Ce mixed oxides. Sequential vacuum annealing and reduced‐pressure O2 treatment enrich Mn near the surface while preserving the CeO2 fluorite framework, promoting interfacial electron redistribution, oxygen activation, and redox cycling.
