The European Journal of Organic Chemistry publishes 500th Microreview

Excellent Overview of all Aspects of Organic Chemistry Since 1998

New Catalyst Activation Mechanism
Phosphane-free air stable ruthenium complexes catalyze the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone in the absence of a base

Inexpensive Arylations with Cobalt
Cobalt catalyst for C–H bond functionalizations could replace more expensive second-row transition-metal complexes

New Pentanuclear Heterobimetallic Compounds
New pentanuclear heterobimetalllic compounds with a [Co4Ln] core show moderately strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the CoII ions

Nitrogen-Containing Polycycles from Furans
New and general one-pot reaction sequence transforms simple furan substrates into complex nitrogen-bearing aromatic polycycles

ChemCatChem Appoints a New Editor-in-Chief
Dr. Michael Rowan named Editor-in-Chief of ChemCatChem by ChemPubSoc Europe and Wiley-VCH

A Colorful Palette
Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a chemopalette

Double-Channel Photosystems
Facile access to double-channel photosystems with oriented strings of fullerenes along oriented stacks of oligothiophenes

Absolute Configuration of (+)-Erythro-Mefloquine
The absolute configuration of (+)-erythro-mefloquine has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography, CD spectroscopy, and molecular modelling

Enantioselective Photochromism in Human Serum Albumin
Hydrophobic pockets in human serum albumin allow photochromic reactions to occur enantioselectively in aqueous media
