α-Amino phosphonates are bio-isosteres of amino acids and have numerous biochemical activities. While they are generally prepared via carbon–phosphorus bond formation using a plethora of methods but using recyclable photo-catalysts and readily accessible amine and phosphites are not commonly used in synthesis. Herein, we used organo-soluble MoS2 Quantum...

Efficient ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) catalysts with anti-poisoning ability and high selectivity are in high demand for the widespread application of direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs). Here, the PdSnW ternary alloy nanoparticles are synthesized by a facile solvothermal method and exhibit an enhanced EOR catalytic performance. CO stripping experiment,...

Organocatalysts are used in a wide range of polymerisation reactions with the advantage of being often more benign or sustainable, while maintaining high catalytic activity. However, the low thermal stability of most of these compounds remain an obstacle for high temperature reactions. It was recently reported that complexes formed from a base such...

A mechanochemical-enabled Ru-catalyzed regioselective synthesis of 3,4-isoxazoles and 3,4,5-isoxazoles from terminal and internal alkynes and hydroxyimidoyl chlorides is reported. This solid-state and solvent-free approach carefully examines the impact of the milling conditions on regiocontrol in 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions using mechanochemical means....

The Cover Feature showcases the creation of an ordered hexagonal mesoporous cobalt aluminophosphate, viz., CoMAP-41, using an ionic liquid such as HDmimCl as a structure-directing agent. In their Research Article, H. Manyar, P. Selvam et al. describe the HDmimCl-based CoMAP-41 that boasts thicker pore walls, conferring an improved structural stability,...
