Multi-dentate ligands enabling a quick and high yield water transfer of inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) via ligand exchange process is of great interest to promote the applications of NCs in biomedical...

Lignin is a renewable and abundant source for production of bio-based chemicals and is a valuable alternative to crude oil to obtain aromatic building blocks. It is built from aromatic units with strong chemical linkages, which need to be cleaved to enable the use of the aromatic compounds in industrial applications. In addition to depolymerizing l...

Heteroaryllithiums, obtained via MesLi mediated halogen- lithium exchange, undergo intramolecular addition onto acrylamide and acrylate moieties. Both electron rich (thiophenyl) and electron deficient (pyridinyl, quinolinyl) heteroaromatic halides can be used for the formation of six- and seven membered rings, providing an efficient route to fused...
