How to Write Better Science Papers
Explaining scientific principles in simple and understandable language is a valuable skill: The video gives first tips

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

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

Boost the Nucleophilicity of Allylboron
Aryllithium enhances the nucleophilicity of allylboronate to react with a wide range of electrophiles

Hydrogel Microspheres Cross-Linked by Rotaxane Networks
Rotaxane cross-linked microgels show a decoupled thermo- and pH-responsive volume transition
