Chiral thioureas and squaramides are among the most prominent hydrogen-bond
bifunctional organocatalysts now extensively used for various transformations, including …

Successful adoption of defect management and carrier confinement strategies in
Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) perovskites has driven the impressive improvements to …

Neutral halogen bonding donors (XBDs) containing sp3-hybridized carbon–bromine and
sulfoxide moieties were designed and synthesized. They promoted quinolines and imines …

The hydrogen-bonding activation for 66 organocatalysts has been quantified using a 31P
NMR binding experiment with triethylphosphine oxide (TEPO). Diverse structural classes …

Cyclic carbamates are a common feature of small-molecule therapeutics, offering a
constrained hydrogen bond acceptor that is both polar and sterically small. Methods for their …

Reductive condensations of alcohols with aldehydes/ketones to generate ethers are
catalyzed by a readily accessible thiourea organocatalyst that operates in combination with …

The role of hypervalent iodine reagents as oxidants has been widely recognized for more
than 20 years. As electrophilic species, they could also play the role of Lewis acids. While …

Ethylene-bridged oligoureas characterized by a continuous, switchable chain of hydrogen
bonds and carrying a binding site (an N, N′-disubstituted urea) for a hydrogen-bond …

The late-onset form of Tay-Sachs disease displays when the activity levels of human β-
hexosaminidase A (HexA) fall below 10% of normal, due to mutations that destabilise the …

The hydrogen-bond-accepting abilities for more than 100 organic molecules are quantified
using 19F and 31P NMR spectroscopy with pentafluorobenzoic acid (PFBA) and …
