  • Controlling the reactivity of the propagating chain end in polymerization reactions is crucial for achieving well-defined polymers. Here, the authors present a strategy for processive catalytic polymerization by encapsulating catalysts for ring-opening metathesis polymerization into the sub-surface cages of a metal-organic framework.

  • Here the authors reveal a study of 486,956 Han Chinese individuals showing that most people with genetic variants affecting drug response do not have the predicted adverse events, highlighting the challenges of implementing pharmacogenetics in clinical practice.

  • Colloidal synthesis can help to precisely control the shape and composition of catalytic metal nanoparticles, but it has so far proved difficult to use these particles in high-temperature reactions. Core–shell structures capable of isolating Pt-mesoporous silica nanoparticles have now been shown to be catalytically active for ethylene hydrogenation and CO oxidation at high temperature.

  • The development of high-performance ‘smart’ catalysts will rely on the rational design of nanoscale metal–metal oxide interfaces. A tandem catalyst that has both CeO2-Pt and Pt-SiO2 interfaces is now reported, and is capable of catalysing sequential reactions to convert methanol into ethylene.

  • Mimicking multi-enzyme catalytic cascades in natural systems with spatial organization in confined structures is gaining increasing attention in the emerging field of systems chemistry. Here, the authors demonstrate that multi-shelled metal-organic frameworks can be used as a hierarchical scaffold to spatially organize enzymes on nanoscale to enhance cascade catalytic efficiency.

  • Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are attractive for encapsulating enzymes for industrial purposes because they can increase selectivity, stability, and/or activity of the enzymes. Here, the authors developed an economical solid-state mechanochemical method to encapsulate enzymes during MOF synthesis.

  • Combining the benefits of homogeneous and heterogeneous processes may lead to important advances in catalysis. This has now been achieved using selectively oxidized and supported electrophilic platinum nanoparticles that catalyse a range of π-bond activation reactions previously only catalysed homogeneously.

  • Palladium can absorb high volumes of hydrogen, but the morphology and 3D displacements occurring during palladium hydride phase formation are not fully characterized in the literature. Here, the authors use Bragg coherent diffraction imaging to map the strain within an individual palladium nanoparticle before and during hydride phase transformation, identifying a characteristic displacement caused by the seed particle in the nanocrystal.
