Herein, we report the automated parallel synthesis of solution-phase libraries of phosphoramidite ligands for the development of enantioselective catalysts. The ligand libraries are screened in situ in the asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to aldehydes and imines. It is shown that the described methodology results in the straightforward discovery of leads for highly efficient enantioselective catalysts.

Biomacromolecular networks with multiscale fibrillar structures are characterized by exceptional mechanical properties, making them attractive architectures for synthetic materials. However, there is a dearth of synthetic polymeric building blocks capable of forming similarly structured networks. Bottlebrush polymers (BBPs) are anisotropic graft polymers with the potential to mimic and replace biomacromolecules such as tropocollagen for the fabrication of synthetic fibrillar networks; however, a longstanding limitation of BBPs has been the lack of rigidity necessary to access the lyotropic ordering that underpins the formation of collagenous networks.

Nanozymes, constituting of inorganic nanomaterials, are the sustainable and cost-effective alternatives of the naturally abundant enzymes. For more than a decade, nanozymes have shown astonishingly enhanced enzymatic activity as compared to its naturally occurring counterpart and emerged as a potential platform in biomedical science. The current study reports a novel flower shaped gold-iron oxide nanocomposite prepared via a facile and green solution phase redox mediated synthesis.

Disulfide-containing nitrosoarenes with [bis(4-nitrosobenzyl) disulfide, ()] or without [4-nitrosophenyl disulfide, (), and 1,2-bis(4'-nitroso-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)disulfane, ()] an alkyl spacer between the sulfur headgroup and the aromatic moiety (phenyl in () or biphenyl in ()) were synthesized and used as precursors to form azodioxy thiolate films on Au(111) substrates. Due to the incorporated disulfide functionalities, these specifically designed nitrosoarenes are enabled to self-polymerize through azodioxy bonds on a gold surface. Thin films of (), (), and () were prepared at different adsorption times via the solution-phase self-assembly of molecules onto the Au(111) surface and characterized by Raman spectroscopy, ellipsometry, water contact angle measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).

Silicon particles of intermediate sizes (75-200 nm) scatter visible wavelengths, making them promising candidates for optical devices. The solution synthesis of silicon particles in this size range, however, has proved challenging for chemists over the past few decades. Here, a solution-phase synthesis provides a pathway toward reaching size tunability between 45 and 230 nm via changing the reactant ratio in the reaction between a silicon Zintl phase (NaSi) with an amidinate-stabilized Si(IV) coordination complex.
