Overview on the current issue of the Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
Angew. Chem. 27/2010: Communication Matters
Mixing Fire and Water
Hydrothermolysis of ammonia borane could lead to improved hydrogen storage system for car fuel cells.
Old Haunts Revisited
Proposed a biosynthesis of (+)-symbioimine re-examined, resulting in successful intramolecular Diels−Alder (IMDA) cyclization
Clusters' Last Stand
f-Element Chemistry is the topic of the June EurJIC Cluster Issue edited by Gerd Meyer, University of Colone.
Light Iron for Hydrogen
Iron catalyst shows hydrogen generation is possible under visible light irradiation and at ambient temperatures.
Secret of Herpesviruses Revealed
Histine modifications allow the Kaposi Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) to switch between latent and active states.
Silver and Gold
Visible-light catalysis, using silver chloride nanowires decorated with gold nanoparticles, may decompose organic molecules in polluted water
Cell By Cell
Manipulation of nanowires could lead to delivery of molecular doses of biologically active chemicals to individual cells.
Industry Grants
Cefic announces a one-stop-shop for information on EU funding for the chemical industry.
Prebiotic Soup
Guanine, adenine, and hypoxanthine can be produced at lower temperatures than previously reported thanks to UV photons.
