Unsaturated biobased polyesters from bicyclic α‐pinene‐based diols
We present the synthesis of four biosourced unsaturated polyesters made from chiral terpene‐based diols and esters of renewable diacids. The resulting materials harbor a bicyclic pinene ring in their backbones which leads to enhanced thermal properties while still conferring susceptibility to enzyme hydrolysis for chains having a cis alkene.

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) requires key non‐negotiable technical criteria: megadose administration, precise tumor‐specific targeting, favorable biocompatibility, and sustained tumor retention. Overcoming these interconnected challenges fundamentally depends on biomolecular carriers, which are critical for translating the therapeutic potential

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

A modular electropolymerization strategy is used to covalently graft a vinyl‐terminated Co(II) molecular catalyst onto allyl 2D germanane. This molecular programming approach yields a 2D Xene nanozyme with implanted peroxidase‐like activity, enabling sensitive and selective electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide and the monitoring of ...
