Walter Thiel looks at the direction theoretical chemistry is heading in his editorial in Angewandte Chemie
Theoretical Chemistry—Quo Vadis?
Awakening of a Sleeping Beauty in Organometallic Chemistry
A convenient synthesis of cyclopentadienylgallium opens the door for GaCp to become a versatile reagent in organometallic chemistry
First CO2 in Ionic Liquid Microemulsion
The first report of a CO2-in-ionic liquid microemulsion is easily tunable and has many potential applications
The Antimalarial Set
A cyclopropyl carboxamide is found to be a highly potent in vitro inhibitor of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Rapid Charging of Lithium Ion Batteries
Batteries could get a boost from discovery that increases power and energy density while dramatically reducing charge time
Rapid Toxic Metal Detection
Highly porous magnetic microspheres mop up toxic metals for rapid detection of contaminated drinking water
Highly Active Catalyst for Rearrangement
The enantioselective, palladium-catalyzed Overman rearrangement of allylic imidates has been accomplished with a new catalyst
C–H Activation with Iron
Cheap and simple iron catalyst activates aryl C–H bonds and gives rapid formation of new aryl–aryl bonds
Seaweed Binder Improves Batteries
A polysaccharide extracted from algae is shown to improve efficiency and rechargability of batteries
German Industry in the 2nd Quarter 2011
Despite of the cooling in global economy, the German chemical industry continues on its way towards record marks
