Nature: RESOLV PI, Prof. B. List, and his team developed an elegant synthesis of the popular fragrance Ambrox.

Nat. Commun.: Three RESOLV groups, led by Prof. S. Kruss, Prof. M. Havenith, and Prof. C. Herrmann, published their results about how nanotubes can serve as biosensors. They change their fluorescence when they bind to certain molecules. Until now, it was unclear why. Researchers have gained new insights into the cause of the fluorescence.

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys.: RESOLV researchers characterize the effect of rubidium ions on water–ice nanoislands in terms of area, fractal dimension, and apparent height by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Coupling of Aryl Chlorides with Lithium Nucleophiles Enabled by Molecularly Defined Alkynyllithium Palladium Catalysts

Chem. Sus. Chem.: Decarboxylative Ketonization of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids in a Continuous Flow Reactor Catalysed by Manganese Oxide on Silica

Science: RESOLV member Prof. M. Hansmann and his team developed a new reagent that can be used to insert carbon atoms into organic molecules

Nat Commun.: RESOLV member Prof. Lars V. Schäfer's study validates quantum chemical iso-density surfaces as accurate representations of molecular surfaces, closely matching experimental thermodynamically effective (TE) surfaces.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Researchers from the University Alliance Ruhr, including RESOLV member Prof. Schuhmann, have found a catalyst that can be used to convert ammonia into the energy carrier hydrogen and the fertilizer precursor nitrite.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Gold clusters in supercritical aqueous solutions exhibit strong interactions with the solvent, resulting in the formation of well-defined metal-water solvation complexes.

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys.: Joint publication RESOLV members Prof. U-P. Apfel and Prof. T. Happe.

[FeFe]-hydrogenase is nature's most efficient proton reducing and H2-oxidizing enzyme. However, biotechnological applications are hampered by the O2 sensitivity of this metalloenzyme, and the mechanism of aerobic deactivation is not well understood. Here, we explore the oxygen sensitivity of four…
