In this issue, Lars Rummel and Peter R. Schreiner review London dispersion interactions in molecular chemistry. Ulrich Schwaneberg et al. summarize research on site-specific bioconjugations in vitro and in vivo with a focus on sortase engineering. The Minireviews deal with phosphine-functionalized metal–organic frameworks (Sherzod T. Madrahimov et al.), degradable block copolymer nanoparticles synthesized by polymerization-induced self-assembly (Zesheng An et al.), as well as atomically dispersed metal catalysts with single and dual metal sites for the conversion of CO2 to CO. Manfred Braun et al. look back at the life and achievements of Günter Wulff, the father of molecular imprinting, in an obituary.
In the original research section, Yao Wu and Netzahualcóyotl Arroyo-Currás show how nucleic-acid-based electrochemical sensors facilitate the study of DNA binding by platinum(II)-based antineoplastics. Dominic Lauzon and Alexis Vallée-Bélisle describe design and thermodynamics principles to program the cooperativity of molecular assemblies. De-en Jiang et al. elucidate the dynamic “monkey bar” mechanism of superionic Li ion transport in LiTaCl6 (see picture), and Satoshi Minakata et al. succeeded in the amino-λ3-iodane-enabled electrophilic amination of arylboronic acid derivatives.
