Wet transfer of an atomically flat azo‐functionalized 2D covalent organic framework film onto monolayer MoS2 enables clean van der Waals heterostructure devices with reversible photoswitching and multilevel nonvolatile memory. ABSTRACT Two‐dimensional π‐conjugated covalent organic frameworks (2D π‐COFs) combine in‐plane π‐delocalization with periodic ...

A Neutral “Masked” Diborene and Its Reactivity Toward Metal‐Free Pyridine Homocoupling
An unprecedented neutral “masked” diborene, formed via intramolecular arene dearomatization of an N‐heterocyclic imine‐supported free diborene, can be photochemically released to regenerate the highly reactive triplet diborene intermediate. Computational analysis elucidates the bonding situation of the hitherto elusive free diborene species, and the ...

Light‐Controlled Modulation of 15‐Lipoxygenase‐1 Regulates Intestinal Inflammatory Signaling
The developed target‐guided strategy enables the rational design of diazo‐based photoswitchable inhibitors of 15‐lipoxygenase‐1. Distinct molecular architectures program opposite light‐dependent activity, allowing on‐demand control of enzyme inhibition.

Fundamental Understanding of Oxidative Stability in Fluorinated Asymmetric Ethers for Li Batteries
To improve Li‐metal battery electrolytes, we analyze fluorinated 1‐ethoxy‐2‐methoxyethane (FxEME) oxidative stability via density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD). Fluorination strengthens ethoxy C–H bonds and alters solvent orientation at the cathode, weakening interfacial interactions.

Redirecting a Native Ene‐Reductase Toward Desaturation With Reverse Enantioselectivity
A native ene‐reductase, XenA, was repurposed to catalyze the reverse‐enantioselective desaturation of cyclohexanones. The final variant was obtained through extensive protein engineering, combining PROSS‐guided computational design with mutagenesis and screening.
