TL;DR: Oligomeric aggregates of heterocycles that are linked by chalcogen-centered interactions and behave as genuine macrocyclic species are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-step cycle at pH 7, 40 o C (cyclen=1,4,7,11-tetraazacyclododecane) is described, which involves equilibrium coordination of acetonitrile to 1 (K 1 =2.5 M -1 ) followed by intramolecular metal hydroxide attack on the coordinated nitrile resulting in formation of the chelated acetamide (k 2 =4.7×10 -3 s -1 ), and dissociation of the amide (k 3 =

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution solid-state (7)Li NMR was used to characterize the structure and dynamics of lithium ion transport in monoclinic Li(3)V(2)(PO(4))(3).

TL;DR: In this article, DFT calculations were used to compare the magnitude of steric repulsion to the strength of secondary bonding interactions (SBIs) in the (Te−N)2 supramolecular synthon to explain or predict the supramerolecular structures assembled by two derivatives of the 1,2,5-telluradiazole ring.

TL;DR: A 15-member library of phosphaadamantane ligands has been prepared via P-arylation of 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-2,4,8-trioxa-6-phosphaalboranes for facilitating Suzuki-type couplings of alkyl halides or tosylates containing beta-hydrogens with either boronic acids or alkyLboranes.
