    Visible-light-driven non-oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes at ambient conditions

    Direct non-oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes produces useful carbon feedstocks and hydrogen fuel. However, breaking the C–H bonds in alkanes typically requires high temperature, stoichiometric oxidants or h...

    Photo-induced iodination of aryl halides under very mild conditions

    Aryl iodides are useful precursors in the synthesis of compounds used, for example, in the pharmaceutical and electronics industries. This protocol describes a transition metal–free, photo-induced aromatic Fin...

    Droplets of cellulose nanocrystal suspensions on drying give iridescent 3-D “coffee-stain” rings

    Films prepared from aqueous suspensions of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) often display iridescent colors due to the reflection of light from the helicoidal orientation of the rod-like CNC in the film. Droplets ...

    Self-assembly of luminescent twisted fibers based on achiral quinacridone derivatives

    It is a great challenge to spontaneously assemble achiral molecules into twisted nanostructures in the absence of chiral substances. Here we show that two achiral centrosymmetric quinacridone (QA) derivatives, N,...
