A range of hierarchically porous (HP) AlPO-5 catalysts, with isomorphously substituted transition metal ions, have been synthesized using an organosilane as a soft template. By employing a range of structural and spectroscopic characterization protocols, the properties of the dopant-substituted species within the HP architectures have been carefully evaluated. The resulting nature of the active site is shown to have a direct impact on the ensuing catalytic properties in the liquid-phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclic ketones.

3-Amino boron dipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) are a versatile class of fluorophores widely utilized in live cell imaging, photodynamic therapy, and fluorescent materials science. Despite the growing demand for optically active BODIPYs, the synthesis of chiral 3-amino-BODIPYs, particularly the catalytic asymmetric version, remains a challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of boron-stereogenic 3-amino-BODIPYs via a palladium-catalyzed desymmetric C-N cross-coupling of prochiral 3,5-dihalogen-BODIPYs.

Background: Deoxyribozymes or DNAzymes represent artificial short DNA sequences bearing many catalytic properties. In particular, DNAzymes able to cleave RNA sequences have a huge potential in gene therapy and sequence-specific analytic detection of disease markers. This activity is provided by catalytic cores able to perform site-specific hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond of an RNA substrate.

Metastable, , kinetically favored but thermodynamically not stable, interstitial solid solutions of carbon in iron are well-understood. Carbon can occupy the interstitial atoms of the host metal, altering its properties. Alloying of the host metal results in the stabilization of the FeC phases, widening its application.

The reduced dimensionality of thin transition metal dihalide films on single-crystal surfaces unlocks a diverse range of magnetic and electronic properties. However, achieving stoichiometric monolayer islands requires precise control over the growth conditions. In this study, we employ scanning probe microscopy to investigate the growth of MnI on Ag(111) via single-crucible evaporation.

Keto reductases are crucial NAD(P)H-dependent enzymes used for the enantioselective synthesis of alcohols from prochiral ketones. Typically, the NADPH cofactor is regenerated through a second enzyme and/or substrate. However, photocatalytic cofactor regeneration using water as a sacrificial electron and hydrogen donor presents a promising alternative, albeit a challenging one.
