Isolated atoms featuring unique reactivity are at the heart of enzymatic and homogeneous
catalysts. In contrast, although the concept has long existed, single-atom heterogeneous …

Utilization of the solar light for clean energy conversion has been well accepted as one of
the promising technologies and strategies to overcome the energy crisis. Amongst a variety …

In the last few decades,“unusual” noncovalent interactions like anion‐π and halogen
bonding have emerged as interesting alternatives to the ubiquitous hydrogen bonding in …

Heterogeneous single-site catalysts consist of isolated, well-defined, active sites that are
spatially separated in a given solid and, ideally, structurally identical. In this review, the …

The halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an
electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic …

The rising global energy demand and environmental impact of traditional energy resources
pose serious challenges to human health, energy security, and environmental protection.(1 …

Hydrogenation is one of the most fundamental transformations in organic synthesis, and its
industrial applications span from fine chemicals to pharmaceuticals synthesis. 1− 3 Direct …

Halogen bonding is a noncovalent interaction similar to hydrogen bonding, which is based
on electrophilic halogen substituents. Hydrogen‐bonding‐based organocatalysis is a well …

London dispersion, which constitutes the attractive part of the famous van der Waals
potential, has long been underappreciated in molecular chemistry as an important element …

Enantioselective transition metal catalysis is an area very much at the forefront of
contemporary synthetic research. The development of processes that enable the efficient …
