In nature, chemical conversions take place in a confined environment and are closely
geared to each other such that the product of one reaction is the substrate or catalyst of the …

Asymmetric synthesis in coordination chemistry was described very clearly by Smirnoff in
1920, but, contrary to the development in organic chemistry, it was almost completely …

The host–guest chemistry of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has enabled the derivation
of numerous new functionalities. However, intrinsically chiral MOFs (CMOFs) with helical …

Real-time and real-space analysis of heavy and transition metal ions employing fluorescent
sensor molecules has received much attention over the past few years. Since many of these …

The stereospecific functionalization of aliphatic CH bonds is an important goal for chemistry
and biochemistry. 1 While such transformations can be carried out by organic peroxides in a …

The analysis of the absolute configuration, enantiomeric composition, and concentration of
chiral compounds are frequently encountered tasks across the chemical and health …

Trinuclear linear 3d− 4f− 3d complexes (3d= MnII, FeII, CoII, ZnII and 4f= LaIII, GdIII, TbIII,
DyIII) were prepared by using a tripodal nonadentate Schiff base ligand, N, N′, N′′-tris …

Nature provides many examples of proteins that form their substrate binding sites by
bringing together the component pieces in a process of selfassembly. The important …
