TL;DR: The role of alkali promoters in N2 cleavage by metal complexes remains poorly understood despite its relevance to the industrial production of ammonia from N2.

TL;DR: It is reported that hydrogen-bonded substituents serve as additional structure-directing elements that positively affect crystallization, thin film morphology, and device performance of p-type organic semiconductors.

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study of the reactions of H+ and NH3 with uranium nitrides, containing different types of ancillary ligands, has been conducted, showing that the differences in ancillaries, leading to dramatically different reactivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of new N-heterocyclic hypervalent iodine reagents with increased structural flexibility based on amide, amidine and sulfoximine scaffolds is reported.

TL;DR: This work reports a universal synthetic approach towards both symmetric and unsymmetric functionalized hexaynes through the use of a modified Eglinton-Galbraith coupling and a sacrificial building block and demonstrates the versatility of this approach by preparing hexayne functionalized with phosphonic acid, carboxylic acid, ammonium, or thiol head groups.
