Phenylboronic acid (PBA) is recognized as one of the most promising cancer cell binding
modules attributed to its potential to form reversible and dynamic boronic ester covalent …

New developments in the field of Lewis acidity are highlighted, with the focus of novel Lewis
acids and Lewis superacids of group 2, 13, 14, and 15 elements. Several important basics …

Cellulose acetate (CA) is an important group of polymeric materials that have found broad
applications. However, the narrow range of processing temperature causes difficulties to …

First synthesized in 1868, alizarin became one of the first synthetic dyes and was widely
used as a red dye in the textile industry, making it more affordable and readily available than …

Enantiomer recognition is usually required in organic synthesis and materials and life
sciences. This paper describes an enantiomer recognition method based on ternary …

An outstanding challenge in modern society remains how to make crosslinked polymers
(thermosets) more recyclable. A breakthrough solution to this challenge has been the …

The heterocyclic tetrazole, a well‐established bioisosteric replacement of carboxylic acid,
plays an important role in medicinal chemistry. To deepen the functional understanding of …

Imidazole-based compounds are widely found in natural products, synthetic molecules, and
biomolecules. Noncovalent interactions between the imidazole ring and other functional …

This study outlines the development of novel boronic acids as catalysts for the direct
synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids and amines. The Lewis acidity of the boronic acids …

Arene–arene interactions are fundamentally important in molecular recognition. To precisely
probe arene–arene interactions in cyclophanes, we designed and synthesized (2, 6-phenol) …
