Diatom‐Inspired 1D Immobile Robots Capable of 2D Collective Mobility
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study presents a diatom‐inspired robotic system that explores group coordination through limited physical interactions. The researchers tune groups of Barbots, simple robotic agents that possess neither individual mobility nor explicit communication capabilities, to achieve complex and adaptive collaboration based on environmental light.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Isolated Pd sites in a metallic Co matrix boost nitrate‐to‐ammonia conversion. Pd doping optimizes intermediate adsorption and reconstructs the interfacial microenvironment, promoting cation enrichment and a hydrogen‐down‐oriented water network. This dual modulation facilitates proton transfer and intermediate stabilization, enabling high ammonia ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Reducing a nitro‐derivatized arylimido‐polyoxometalate (POM) reversibly switches on its second‐order NLO response, contrasting with prior donor‐functionalized systems that switch off upon reduction. Attenuation of charge‐transfer (CT) to the POM upon reduction gives a more strongly dipolar imido/π‐bridge to ─NO2 CT, signal enhancement of up to 15× (β ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Using a ketal‐protected glycerol derivative (solketal) as the oxidation substrate enables site‐selective electrooxidation that suppresses C–C cleavage on non‐noble catalysts. Highly alkaline conditions promote reactive solketal alkoxide formation, weaken the Cα─H bond to facilitate dehydrogenation, and buffer local acidification, enabling a record‐high

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Bei vielen Pd‐katalysierten Kreuzkupplungen hat sich gezeigt, dass die Katalysatorleistung durch dessen Aktivierung begrenzt wird. Methylnaphthyl (MeNAP)‐Palladiumtrifluoracetat‐Dimere werden als leicht zu lagernde und handhabende Präkatalysatoren vorgestellt, die sich unter Reaktionsbedingungen schnell aktivieren, selbst wenn nur schwach ...

Enhanced Formation of Dicarboxylic Acids in the Catalytic Oxidation of Polyethylene With O2 and NOx
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The oxidation of polyethylene in the presence of a mixture of O2 and NOx and with Cu2+/V5+ as catalyst yields ∼51 mol% diacids, while retaining ∼80 mol% of the carbon in the oil fraction. The developed method is robust and tolerates several polymer types as well as impurities.

Automated Dynamic Flow Experimentation for Rapid Kinetic Fitting of Transition Metal Catalysis
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.We have developed an automated dynamic flow experimentation platform to automatically fit and identify the most accurate kinetic model from a generated set of candidates. Three transition metal‐catalyzed transformations were performed using this workflow.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Heterogeneous iron‐catalyzed environmentally benign and sustainable CH‐oxidative esterification methodology has been developed for the synthesis of esters. This challenging reaction has been achieved by the rational design of specific single atom iron‐based catalyst with Fe‐N4 active centers, which empowered the oxidative esterification of methyl and ...
