A hydrogen economy is often proposed by media and scientists as the way out from fossil fuels. But is it an achievable goal?

Can Hydrogen Power the World?

Identification of Heavy-Metals in Wastewater
Colorimetric array based on sol-gel membrane identifies trace metal ions at wastewater discharge concentrations

Diversity Without Protecting Groups
Mild, multicomponent reaction allows the introduction of four diversity points in one step, leading to benzoxazinone derivatives

Don’t Waste Waste Chemicals
Substance found in compost shown to degrade organic pollutants

Enough Heat to Chill Out
New application for MOFs – High Water Uptake Capacity of Mesoporous Material Ideal for Use in Heat Transformation Applications

In Situ Synthesis of MOFs
2 coordination polymers with rare NiP2 and kgd topologies synthesized; for the time an indazole cycle formed through intramolecular amination cyclization

Phosphatidylserine – Novel Receptor
Phosphatidylserine lipid photoaffinity cross-linking probes synthesized for identification of novel receptors (discovery biology, anti-inflammatory therapeutics, cellular delivery)

Novel Primary & Secondary N-acylamidines
Synthesis, structures, and aggregation properties of novel primary and secondary N-acylamidines

Singlet Oxygen Photosensitizers
Water-soluble Pt and Pd tetrasulfophthalocyanines show good photostability and photosensitize the generation of singlet oxygen, which can be efficiently used in ene reactions for synthetic purposes

Proton Affinity and Gas-Phase Basicity of SO2
New gas-phase experiments and theoretical calculations revise significantly downward the proton affinity and gas-phase basicity of SO2
