The Official IYC 2011 Opening Ceremony in Paris was an impressive event – have a look at the highlights

IYC Opening Ceremony in Paris

New Insights of Temperature-Sensitive Polymers
Better understanding of structure−property relationships of temperature-sensitive polymers as phase separation mechanism determined

Aluminium and Zirconium in Synergy
Fine-tuning of catalytic activity is possible with bimetallic mesoporous materials containing aluminum and zirconium

Chemical Intermediate from Biomass-derived Carbohydrate
Direct catalytic synthesis of 5-methylfurfural (MF) - an important chemical intermediate - from biomass-derived carbohydrates

Synthesis of Scyphostatin
New route to scyphostatin analogues allows the late-stage manipulation of hydrophobic chains that control N-SMase inhibition

Losing Control in MOFs
Losing control in metal-organic frameworks could give them unique characteristics, such as dynamic solid state properties
