In this issue, the Minireviews deal with multifunctional nanomaterials that mediate cholesterol depletion for cancer treatment (Wenbin Lin et al.), hydrogen bonding chemistry in aqueous ammonium ion batteries (Tianyi Ma et al.), as well as metal–organic frameworks for multicomponent gas separation (Huabin Xing et al.). In a Correspondence, Simon Kolb and Daniel B. Werz critique a recent publication on organo-mediator-enabled electrochemical deuteration of styrenes.

In the original research section, Zhichao Jin et al. describe the chemodivergent parallel kinetic resolution of paracyclophenes (see picture). Atsuro Takai et al. observed a reduction-induced self-propelled oscillatory motion of perylenediimides on water. Anett Schallmey et al. succeeded in the biocatalytic ether lipid synthesis by an archaeal glycerolprenylase and Thomas Schleid et al. found a direct route to closo-SB_nCl_n thiaboranes from simple electron-precise synthons.
