PNAS: Optimising electrochemical processes is one of the challenges in developing technologies for renewable energies. New research findings could provide assistance here.

Angew. Chem. - Int. Ed.: CO2 can be converted electrochemically into starting materials for industry. So far, however, catalysts that are stable over a long period of time have been lacking. A few tricks could solve the problem.

JACS: How organisms deal with extreme environmental conditions to maintain the stability of their protein condensates.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV member Prof. Stefan M. Huber's study presents the first application of a bidentate iodine(III)-based halogen bond donor as organocatalyst.

J. Am. Chem. Soc.: Carbenes strongly interact with metal surfaces at the atomic level, solvation scientists show.

Finding the best material composition among thousands of possibilities is like looking for a needle in a haystack. An international team is combining computer simulations and high-throughput experiments to do this.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. (Hot Paper): RESOLV scientists reinvent popular dyes into new structures with promising functions.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV members Prof. V. Gessner and Prof. L. Gooßen's demonstrates that the coupling of aryl chlorides with Reformatsky reagents is a desirable strategy for the construction of α-aryl esters by overcoming the limitations by the tailoring of ylide-functionalized phosphines to fit the requirements of Negishi couplings.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV member Prof. V. Gessner reports the results of her investigations on how solvent selection affects the structure, stability, and breakdown of alkali metal carbenoids. This study examines the effects of solvent coordination and aggregation on carbenoid behavior and finds that toluene causes aggregation and quicker breakdown, whereas THF stabilizes lithium carbenoids as…

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Photosynthetic proteins can convert light energy into other forms of energy. Researchers want to make this technology usable for the industrial production of fuels, for example.
