Tetrazine quenches the fluorescence of various dyes; can be removed by light irradiation to switch the fluorescence back on

Enzymes Trapped in Gold
3D metallic cage protects enzymes while substrate molecules can still reach the active site

Meta-Olefination of Fluoroarenes
Carbon dioxide used as a traceless directing group

Making Metal–Organic Frameworks using Acoustic Mixing
Liquid-assisted resonant acoustic mixing used for the synthesis of MOF

Stabilizing Synthetic DNA for Data Storage
DNA dried in the presence of earth alkaline salts for robust protection

Azole Synthesis Using Tandem Hydrogen-Atom Transfer
Radical cascade strategy for the synthesis of heterocycles from simple reagents

A Metal-Rich Semiconducting Subchalcogenide
Compound with properties between those of an intermetallic and a classical semiconductor
