A new 1,3-phenylene-bridged hexameric porphyrin wheel shows promise as an artificial light-harvesting photosynthetic antenna

Zeolites modified with aminoalkoxysilanes and cyclodextrin show different uptake and release properties depending on which silane is used

Substituted 1,4-diazabutadienes show unprecedented "innocent" behavior to give indium-based equivalent of N-heterocyclic carbenes

The continuous and reversible control of nanopore size in zeolite-templated carbon can be achieved by applying mechanical force

The isolation and analysis of your air-sensitive product requires careful manipulation of your compound

Some basic experimental set ups for performing reactions with air-sensitive compounds and how to add solids and liquids

The basis of all Schlenk line work, the evacuate-refill cycle, and how to dry and/or degas solvents for air-sensitive reactions

Schlenk lines can be daunting for the first-time user. We looked at basic Schlenk line design and how to start and stop a Schlenk line

How do you grow a crystal if your compound decomposes in air? We look at techniques that work for both air-sensitive and air-stable compounds

Patience, luck, and no small amount of skill are required to grow the perfect crystal for X-ray diffraction. Maximize your chances of getting that elusive crystal
