A systematic study of structure-property relationships on a class of rigidified merocyanine dyes is presented

“Push–Pull” Merocyanine Dyes

Unusual Oxidation States
Metal-centered heterocubane structures characterize the homoleptic tetrakis(silyl) complexes of zerovalent palladium and platinum

One-Pot Route to Magnetic Refrigerants
One-pot route leads to a series of complexes that either act as single-molecule magnets or have a magnetocaloric effect

One-Step Anomerization of Pyranosides
Synthesis of a 1,2-cis glucosamine oligomer

Safer Methods for Carbonylative Coupling
Palladium-catalyzed carbonylative α-arylation of aryl bromides

Uranium Sandwiches!
Unusual reactivity of a uranium–arene inverted sandwich complex toward potassium ions

Simplified Immunity
Synthetic diacylsulfoglycolipids are considered as potential subunit vaccines against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Carbon Fibers by Thermally Latent Catalysts
Grubbs–Hoveyda-type catalysts in ring-opening polymerization are a step towards the industrial application of carbon fibers

Ranking Halogen-Bond Donors
Ranking of halogen-bond donors established, with applications in crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry

Anion Binding Controlled by Remote Substituents
Bulky substituents shown to restrict conformational space in lanthanide complexes and thereby affect isophthalate affinity
