  • Homogeneous catalytic hydroboration represents a valuable strategy for the synthesis of alcohols but reports which employ iron-based catalysts are somewhat limited. Here, the authors report an iron metalloborane complex as an efficient pre-catalyst for hydroboration of ketones, cyclic esters and CO2 with mild conditions.

  • The isolation of catenated nitrogen compounds is difficult, in part because these chains can readily lose nitrogen, creating a strong thermodynamic push towards decomposition. Now, a series of molecules containing radical anions of four-atom nitrogen chains have been synthesized and studied under ambient conditions; the chain can cleave into N1 and N3 fragments, and can act as a source of nitrene radical anion.

  • Photoelectrocatalysis offers the potential to reduce energy demand and provide different selectivity profiles compared with electrocatalytic analogues, but current systems have shown limited rates. Here, recent advances in light concentration and gas diffusion electrodes are integrated into a photoelectrochemical system for coupled glycerol oxidation and CO2/H2O reduction with photocurrent densities above 100 mA cm−2.

  • The assembly of the genome of the koala provides insights into its adaptive biology and identifies gene expansions that contribute to its ability to detoxify eucalyptus-derived compounds and perceive plant secondary metabolites.

  • Superatoms are metal clusters that collectively behave like an atom, but they usually require metal–metal bonding and thus they are based on main group or transition metals. Now it has been shown that trithorium nanoclusters with delocalized three-centre-one-electron thorium–thorium bonding exhibit exalted diamagnetism. This unveils actinide superatoms that exhibit open-shell jellium aromaticity.

  • CarH is a bacterial B12-binding photoreceptor involved in transcriptional regulation. Here, the authors provide insights into B12 dynamics and associated cobalt redox changes following light activation. These demonstrate the CarH response integrates light and oxygen sensing.

  • Hard carbons are considered the most suitable negative electrode materials for Na-ion batteries. Here, authors use electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to determine the spin nature of mechanochemically-modified hard carbons to predict their charge storage mechanism for sodium-ion batteries.

  • Catalytic transformations involving main group compounds is much less developed than carbon chemistry. Here, the authors report the use of catalytic or stoichiometric tBuOK in presence of a hydrogen acceptor for efficient P–P and P–heteroatom coupling reactions.

  • Polymer beads are used in the core of magnetic particles, and beads functionalised with paramagnetic molecules are promising as agents for dynamic nuclear polarization. Here, the authors use conventional click chemistry to decorate a polymer bead with 1014 [2]rotaxanes containing paramagnetic {Cr7Ni} rings.
