    A three-shell supramolecular complex enables the symmetry-mismatched chemo- and regioselective bis-functionalization of C60

    Molecular Russian dolls (matryoshkas) have proven useful for testing the limits of preparative supramolecular chemistry but applications of these architectures to problems in other fields are elusive. Here we ...

    Pincerlike Cyclic Systems for Unraveling Fundamental Coinage Metal Redox Processes

    Pincerlike cyclic ligands have overcome the high instability of transition metals in their higher oxidation states and have permitted the isolation of such species and the exhaustive study of their properties ...

    Sponge-like molecular cage for purification of fullerenes

    Since fullerenes are available in macroscopic quantities from fullerene soot, large efforts have been geared toward designing efficient strategies to obtain highly pure fullerenes, which can be subsequently ap...

    Direct observation of two-electron Ag(I)/Ag(III) redox cycles in coupling catalysis

    Silver is extensively used in homogeneous catalysis for organic synthesis owing to its Lewis acidity, and as a powerful one-electron oxidant. However, two-electron redox catalytic cycles, which are most common...

    Observation of Fe(V)=O using variable-temperature mass spectrometry and its enzyme-like C–H and C=C oxidation reactions

    Oxo-transfer chemistry mediated by iron underpins many biological processes and today is emerging as synthetically very important for the catalytic oxidation of C–H and C=C moieties that are hard to activate c...
