This article discusses the mechanism for plasma hydrogenation of graphene.

This is the report of a workshop focusing on the use of broader societal impacts criteria as part of the review process at the European Commission. There is both a historical account and some thinking about how 'impact' ought to be incorporated into Horizon 2020 (the funding scheme formerly known as FP8). Since the US NSF is also currently rethinking the details of its merit review process, and since there is an interesting comparison between NSF's and the EC's approaches to impact, the authors have also included a focus on NSF's Broader Impacts Criterion. The workshop was both a research opportunity (under SciSIP grant #0830387) and an effort to use that research to help inform policy for science (in terms of informing peer review models).

Book chapter on vanillin biosynthesis. The author gives an introduction to vanillin biosynthesis, the multiple pathways to vanillin, and the way forward.

In the title compound, [PtCl(C₂₇H₃₅N₃)]Cl·C₇H₈, the Ptᴵᴵ atom is coordinated in a pseudo-square-planar fashion by the N atoms of a 4,4',4''-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand and a Cl atom.

In the title compound, [PtCl(C₂₇H₃₅N₃)]Cl·C₇H₈, the Ptᴵᴵ atom is coordinated in a pseudo-square-planar coordination, which is typical of Pt-terpyridine complexes.
