Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

The design of artificial catalysts able to compete with the catalytic proficiency of enzymes is
an intense subject of research. Non-covalent interactions are thought to be involved in …

Even though enzymes are the cornerstones of living systems, it has so far proven difficult to
deploy artificial catalysts in a biological setting. Organocatalysts are arguably well-suited …

Catalytic asymmetric electrochemical C–H functionalization of simple ketones has been
developed. The transformation is realized by the combination of electrochemical oxidation …

Enzymes are the core for biological transformations in nature. Their structures and functions
have drawn enormous attention from biologists as well as chemists since last century. The …

To design and exploit novel macrocyclic synthetic receptors is a permanent and challenging
topic in supramolecular chemistry. Here we describe the one-pot synthesis, unique …

Construction of supramolecular structures with internal functionalities is a promising
approach to build enzyme‐like cavities. The endo‐functionalized [Pd12L24] and [Pd2L4] …

In the past few years, supramolecular chemistry has led to new approaches in
homogeneous catalysis. While host-guest chemistry had already found applications in …

Strategic global industries, such as pharmaceutics, cosmetics, or crop production, are
increasingly demanding high-value enantioenriched compounds. Thus, the design and …

The high-efficiency transition metal-free electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3–RR)
for ammonia synthesis has received more attention because of its green and …
