Incorporation of Chiral Frustrated Lewis Pair into Metal–Organic Framework with Tailored Microenvironment for Heterogeneous Enantio- and Chemoselective Hydrogenation (open access)

Incorporation of Chiral Frustrated Lewis Pair into Metal–Organic Framework with Tailored Microenvironment for Heterogeneous Enantio- and Chemoselective Hydrogenation

Article states that the development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts with multiselectivity (e.g., enantio- and chemoselectivity) has long been sought after but with limited progress being made so far. To achieve enantio- and chemoselectivity in a heterogeneous system, as inspired by enzymes, the authors illustrate herein an approach of creating an enzyme-mimic region (EMR) within the nanospace of a metal–organic framework (MOF) as exemplified in the context of incorporating a chiral frustrated Lewis pair (CFLP) into a MOF with a tailored pore environment.

Large-Scale Synthesis of Covalent Organic Frameworks: Challenges and Opportunities (open access)

Large-Scale Synthesis of Covalent Organic Frameworks: Challenges and Opportunities

Article describes how connecting organic building blocks by covalent bonds to design porous crystalline networks has led to covalent organic frameworks (COFs), consequently transferring the flexibility of dynamic linkages from discrete architectures to extended structures. Authors state that this review article highlights the fundamental of COFs, including designing principles, coupling reactions, topologies, structural diversity, synthetic strategies, characterization, growth mechanism, and activation aspects of COFs.

Re-examination of the N2O+O reaction (open access)

Re-examination of the N2O+O reaction

This article is about how the reaction of N20 with O is a key step in consumption of nitrous oxide in thermal processes. In the present work ,the authors re-examined a wide range of experiments relevant for the N2O+O reaction through kinetic modeling, paying attention to the impact of artifacts such as impurities and surface reactions.
