Total Synthesis of the Nominal Structure of (+)-Talaromyolide D

This study describes the first total synthesis of what was thought to be (+)-talaromyolide D, a molecule found in a marine fungus. However, comparison of the lab-made molecule and the natural product revealed that the original structure was misassigned. This synthesis now offers a path to determine the correct structure of the natural product and to make enough to test its antiviral properties.

Terminology for chain polymerization (IUPAC Recommendations 2021)

This paper provides recommended terminology for chain polymerization, clarifying various categories and sub-categories based on mechanisms, activation methods, and reaction characteristics. It aims to create a standardized, understandable, and self-consistent language for the field, covering recent developments in this area.

Macroheterocyclic Compounds – a Key Building Block in New Functional Materials and Molecular Devices

This review discusses the synthesis, properties, and applications of macroheterocyclic compounds, including porphyrins, phthalocyanines, and related molecules, in a wide range of fields, such as materials science, catalysis, and medicine. The authors highlight the versatility of these compounds as building blocks for functional materials and molecular devices, emphasizing their potential for applications in photodynamic therapy, organic electronics, and sensors.

A simple and versatile nickel platform for the generation of branched high molecular weight polyolefins

This paper describes a new type of nickel catalyst based on a-imino-ketone ligands, which is highly active in ethylene polymerization, producing branched high molecular weight polyethylene, including ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. The catalysts are also capable of copolymerizing ethylene with a variety of polar monomers and can be easily supported on silica, forming a highly active heterogeneous catalyst.
