Metal-organic frameworks enabling catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide

MOF for Carbon Dioxide Recycling

Revised Formation Mechanism
Mn/Re vinylidenes react with P–OR nucleophiles via hydrolysis rather than intramolecular Michaelis–Arbuzov rearrangement

Iterative Theory/Experiment Cycles
Integrated computational and experimental organic chemistry tools to investigate new multicomponent reactions

Polymers Wirelessly Change Shape
Bipolar electrochemistry stimulates large-amplitude actuation in a free-standing polypyrrole film

Hydrogen Storage in Cigarette Butts
Porous carbon derived from cigarette filters has an unprecedented hydrogen storage capacity

Oxygen Vacancies for Better Supercapacitors
Two-dimensional oxygen-vacancy-rich cobalt oxide nanosheets as supercapacitor materials

Synthesis of gem-Difluoroalkenes
Trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes react with radical precursors to produce 1,1-difluoroalkene carbonyl mimics

Portable Drug Screening Device
Pocket-size scanner developed that police patrols can use for rapid and cost-efficient on-site screening of suspected drugs

Mild Reduction of Phosphine Oxides
Easy reduction of phosphine oxides to phosphines with inexpensive phosphites at room temperature
