2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Angewandte Chemie International Edition

Happy Birthday Angewandte Chemie!

From Molecule to Object
Largest synthetic macromolecule with defined chemical structure, resembles a virus but is formed from a branched polymer

Angewandte Author Profiles January
K. Peter C. Vollhard, Hans-Günther Schmalz, J. Antoine Baceiredo, and Herbert Waldmann, are interviewed this month

Ultrafast Lithium Storage with Ti Nanosheets
Stacked, ultrafine TiO2 nanosheets give materials with superior capacity for rechargeable Li-ion batteries

Viral ZnO Nanoparticles
Binding ZnO nanoparticles to polyhedrosis virus suitable for biological applications such as surface display technologies

Hydrogels – Enhanced Swelling Ratios
Unique strategy enabled the preparation of highly swelling and rapidly deswelling hydrogels - potential applicability as biomaterials

Enough Heat to Chill Out
New application for MOFs – High Water Uptake Capacity of Mesoporous Material Ideal for Use in Heat Transformation Applications

In Situ Synthesis of MOFs
2 coordination polymers with rare NiP2 and kgd topologies synthesized; for the time an indazole cycle formed through intramolecular amination cyclization

Green Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles
A simple, green, one-pot synthesis of gold nanoparticles

Singlet Oxygen Photosensitizers
Water-soluble Pt and Pd tetrasulfophthalocyanines show good photostability and photosensitize the generation of singlet oxygen, which can be efficiently used in ene reactions for synthetic purposes
