Iminium catalysis in natural Diels–Alderase
Iminium-catalysed cycloaddition is one of the most prominent examples of organocatalysis, yet a biological counterpart has not been reported, despi…

Identifying a highly efficient molecular photocatalytic CO2 reduction system via descriptor-based high-throughput screening
Molecular metal complexes offer opportunities for developing artificial photocatalytic systems. The search for efficient molecular photocatalytic s…
Iron-catalysed alkenylzincation of allenes via electrophilicity reversal
Given the structural characteristics of allenes, nucleophilic additions usually occur at the electron-deficient central carbon atom of allene. Here…
Electron and proton storage on separate Ru and BaO domains mediated by conductive low-work-function carbon to accelerate ammonia synthesis
Ammonia (NH3) has gained attention as a carbon-free fuel and hydrogen carrier, making its energy-efficient production increasingly impor…
