A comic series by Sophie Lin: In part 3 she depicts how chemistry can sometimes surprise you

Mess-ter Comic – ROP is Easy!

Make the Switch
Acid/base and anion exchange used to reversibly transition a urea-based [2]rotaxane between solution and gel states

Bismuth for Bone Cement
Water-soluble bismuth cluster is key to the formation of a hybrid material

Replacing a Ring with a Ball
Asborin, the carbaborane-containing analogue of aspirin, holds promise as lead structure for aldo/keto reductase (AKR) inhibition

Chirality by Stirring
Chirailty of supramolecular species determined by shear rate and drag forces from stirring flows

Easier Tubulysins: Delivered!
Delivery of tubulysin analogues using dendrimer conjugation technology promises efficacy without toxicity

Chemical Frustration Opens Synthetic Routes
Frustration can lead to ring-opening reaction yielding phosphonium borate products with potential as metal-free catalysts

Solvent-Free Nopinone Synthesis
Solvent-free ball milling conditions prove superior to ozonolysis in the synthesis of nopinone from β-pinene

Quality Of Society Journals
Quality of publishing of ChemPubSoc Europe, RSC, and ACS journals

Up Close and Organic
Microscopy could beat NMR and crystallography for powerful 3D structure determinations of complex organic molecules
