A Simple Route to Stable Antiaromatic Compounds from Diazaporphyrins
Hiroshi Shinokubo, Japan, and his coauthors discovered a simple reductive dimethylation that transforms Ni(II) 5,15-diazaporphyrins into stable, antiaromatic porphyrinoids

2025 Chemistry Europe Award Presented to Stefan Grimme at IUPAC Opening Ceremony
At IUPAC 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, Stefan Grimme received the prestigious Chemistry Europe Award for his contributions to density functional theory

Photothermal/ONOO–-Generating Imaging-Therapy Nanoplatform
Xiaoyan Cui and colleagues have quantitatively evaluated the aggregation of molecules and proposed a general strategy for fine-tuning the fluorogenicity of Group 14 (C, Si, Ge) rhodamines

Carbon-Nitrogen Axial Chirality as a Novel Chiral Framework Design Strategy for Circularly
Novel C-N axial chirality strategy creates efficient CPL enantiomers (S/R)-AI-2TCFC with AIE/TADF. Demonstrated in working CPEL devices, advancing chiral optoelectronic materials

Sulfur-Rich Network Polymers via Dynamic C–S Bonding
Max von Delius, Kerstin Leopold, and colleagues developed sulfur-rich network polymers that show excellent metal sorption and battery cathode performance

Acid- and Light-Driven Multifunctional Luminescent Materials: Pioneering Innovations in Information Encryption
A series of molecular photoswitches have been successfully designed and synthesized that can be actuated by visible light or acid stimuli

Electroclean Oxidation of Sugars: No Purification Needed
Green, scalable electrochemical oxidation of C6 alcohols in glycopyranosides yields uronic acids—no chromatography or complex purification needed

200th Birthday of Emil Erlenmeyer
Why is a glass vessel with a narrow neck (narrow-neck flask) or a wider neck (wide-neck flask) called an Erlenmeyer flask?
