A team of Japanese researchers has discovered a new technique to tweak molecular orientation that could dramatically improve energy transfer when absorbing light. While in its infancy, this ...

Kaidi Li: Over centuries, chemists have utilised chiral amines for the development of biologically active small molecules and the synthesis of chiral ligands, necessitating a general and efficient ...

Imine reductases can catalyze reductive amination reactions to produce chiral amines, however, transformation of bulky amines has been challenging. Here, by using an increasing-molecule-volume ...

Supramolecular chirality sensor: A metal-containing porphyrin dimer was synthesized. This agent directly determines the absolute configuration of chiral amines and alcohols without any additional ...

Further manipulation during the process resulted in liquid crystal assembly pathways that were either achiral or chiral. Both resulted in a clear improvement in efficiency and stability of the OSC ...

enabling alkyl amines with unactivated alkyl groups to be viewed as alkyl electrophiles. In a final area, we are developing new methods for enantioselective reactions of cationic intermediates using ...
