Environmental Identification of Novel Enzymes for Polyurethane and Polyamide Degradation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Heteroatom‐containing plastics such as polyurethanes and nylons are produced at scale yet remain largely unrecycled. Biocatalysts offer a promising route to depolymerization under mild conditions. Here, we present a screening platform for the discovery of novel polyurethane‐ and nylon‐degrading enzymes from environmental samples and demonstrate ...

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.

Attractive Ni…O Interactions Enable Non‐Alternating Ethylene‐Carbon Monoxide Copolymerization

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Attractive Ni···O interactions are established in phosphine‐imidated and phosphine‐phenolate nickel catalysts, enabling non‐alternating ethylene‐carbon monoxide copolymerization, resulting in superior CO tolerance, productivity and stability compared to the state‐of‐the‐art benchmark.

Chlorine‐Free Depolymerization of Commercial PMMA via Oxygen‐Centered Radicals

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new chlorine‐free photothermal method enables sustainable recycling of plastics with C–C backbones under mild conditions. Driven by an oxygen‐centered radical pathway with ppm levels of anthraquinone catalyst, it eliminates hazardous chlorinated solvents, achieving an impressive 97% depolymerization conversion.

Localized Accumulation of Tri‐n‐Propylamine Prolongs Electrochemiluminescence for Tumor Model Spheroid Analysis

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Here, we enhance the electrochemiluminescence imaging of cellular spheroids using [Ru(bpy)3]2+/TPrA chemistry. Our strategy, which involves pre‐incubation with TPrA, enables high‐resolution, long‐term visualization of cellular spheroids without phototoxicity.
