TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the emerging tendency for creating target-oriented analytical approaches designed to solve important chemical tasks by using a combination of analytical tools, illustrated by selected examples of advances of NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and electron microscopy.

TL;DR: Inorganic and organic "solvent-in-salt" (SIS) systems have been known for decades but have attracted significant attention only recently and demonstrate remarkable thermal stability and tunability, and present a class of admittedly safer electrolytes, in comparison with traditional organic solvents.

TL;DR: In this paper, magnetron sputtering was successfully used to obtain nanosized metal films and metal nanoparticles, which can be useful for development of novel methods in organic chemistry, and morphology of the nanosised (5-100 nm) objects obtained was examined by SEM.

TL;DR: The role of catalyst precursor, interconversions of catalytic species during reaction, stability and recycling of catalyst, catalysis by autocatalyst exhaust and plausible sources of metal-containing contaminants are the key points discussed in this review.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study involving 19 different Pd-NHC complexes with imidazolium, benzimidazolate, and triazolate ligands has been carried out and revealed a new mode of operation of metal NHC systems.
