Walter Thiel Medal winner Felix Plasser, UK, and colleagues studied how molecules in solid organic materials interact, focusing on the influence of π-stacking and explaining under what circumstances their chromophores couple to form H- or J-aggregates

Small inorganic rings from heavy dipnictenes and azides synthesized; enabling unique products such as NHC-stabilized imino-bismuthane and GeBr₂ ring insertion; broadening main-group chemistry and new reactivity

This collection explores the chemistry behind everyday foods and drinks, from flavors and cooking changes to coffee roasting, alcohol digestion, and chocolate production

B. Terzi and W. Teich (LMU Munich) report the first light-sensitive m⁷Gp₄G RNA cap analogs that enable precise, light-controlled regulation of RNA translation

Tonya Vitova, Stefanie Dehnen, and Wim Klopper discuss their study revealing covalent La–Bi interactions within an electron-rich In/Bi cluster, challenging traditional views of lanthanide bonding

Magnus Buchner, Marburg, and his coauthors have synthesized and characterized monocationic tris(pyrazolyl)borate beryllium phosphine complexes

Just in time for summer and the holiday season, open-air exhibitions about Marie Skłodowska-Curie are now on display in Warsaw, Genoa, Pisa, and Padua

A heterometallic Ni–Al complex breaks C–H bonds in pyridines with ligand-controlled precision

Hiroshi Shinokubo, Japan, and his coauthors discovered a simple reductive dimethylation that transforms Ni(II) 5,15-diazaporphyrins into stable, antiaromatic porphyrinoids

At IUPAC 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Stefan Grimme received the prestigious Chemistry Europe Award for his contributions to density functional theory
