In this perspective, we review some recent advances in the concept of atoms-in-molecules
from a real space perspective. We first introduce the general formalism of atomic weight …

Reactions that enable selective functionalization of strong aliphatic C–H bonds open new
synthetic paths to rapidly increase molecular complexity and expand chemical space …

Reductive elimination is an elementary organometallic reaction step involving a formal
oxidation state change of− 2 at a transition‐metal center. For a series of formal high‐valent …

Low-valent group 2 (E= Be and Mg) stabilized compounds have been long synthetically
pursued. Here we discuss the electronic structure of a series of Lewis base-stabilized Be …

The oxidation state (OS) formalism is a much-appreciated good in chemistry, receiving wide
application. However, like all formalisms, limitations are inescapable, some of which have …

This report describes the development of high-performing non-enzymatic glucose sensors
based on a combination of a phosphorous doped graphene (PG) layer and a composite …

A recent article by Pan and Frenking challenges our assignment of the oxidation state of low
valent group 2 compounds. With this reply, we show that our assignment of Be (+ 2) and Mg …

Recent advances in serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) of photosystem II (PSII),
enabled by X-ray free electron lasers (XFEL), provided the first geometric models of distinct …

The gold-catalyzed acetylene hydrochlorination reaction is an important process to produce
vinyl chloride monomer in the polyvinyl chloride industry. The traditional catalyst of carbon …

Large conjugated rings with persistent currents are novel promising structures in molecular‐
scale electronics. A six‐porphyrin nanoring structure that allegedly sustained an aromatic …
