Using individual molecules as conducting bridges for electrons offers opportunities when
investigating quantum phenomena that are not readily accessible from experiments …

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) underpins energy conversion in chemistry and
biology. Four energy systems are described whose discoveries are based on PCET: the …

Conspectus Sunlight is an abundant energy source for a sustainable society. Indeed,
photosynthetic organisms harness solar radiation to build the world around us by …

Wasserstoffbrücken ähneln Menschen insofern, als dass sie zur Gruppenbildung neigen.
Einzeln sind sie schwach, leicht zu brechen und manchmal schwer zu finden. Handeln sie …

Through incremental change, Nature reworks and repurposes its functional machinery. In
this way, proteins that photochemically repair DNA by moving protons and electrons have a …

The crucial recognition events of chemistry, biology, and materials science occur in a much
smaller world than the one we are accustomed to. Information about these events can be …

At the core of many important energy conversion processes in chemistry and biology are
oxidation-reduction reactions in which both electrons and protons are transferred. An …

Energy is the most important issue of the 21st century. About 85% of our energy comes from
fossil fuels, a finite resource unevenly distributed beneath the Earth's surface. Reserves of …

Here we describe a dual catalyst system comprised of an iridium photocatalyst and weak
phosphate base that is capable of both selectively homolyzing the N–H bonds of N …

Here we report a ternary catalyst system for the intramolecular hydroamidation of
unactivated olefins using simple N-aryl amide derivatives. Amide activation in these …
