Ru/CMK-3 is found to be a water-tolerant and reusable catalyst for hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose with high yield

Hydrolysis of Cellulose to Glucose

Silver-Free Protocol
New route to gold-based catalyst removes need for moisture and light sensitive silver salts

Time–Temperature Indicators
Nanoplates with time-temperature dependant UV/Vis spectra could have future in monitoring transportation and storage of food

Atmospheric Dioxane Degradation
Mechanism of the radical-initiated oxidation of 1,3-dioxane helps explain the role of ethers in the atmosphere

One-Phase for Biodiesel
Using ionic liquids for biodiesel production overcomes miscibility problem and allows recycling over several cycles

Fluorescent Polylactide Complex
Nontoxic, biodegradable complex for early tumor detection with fluorescence microscopy

Switchable Water
Addition of amines leads to water with switchable ionic strength for reversible salting out of organic compounds

Protecting the Sweetness
Protection of amino sugar precursors made easy through a Lewis acid mediated rearrangement

Chemical Transformer
Structured for transformation: reaction sequence for ethene trimerisation is observed
