Advances in Organometallic and Protein Chemistry

Recent advances in spin chemistry*

The great success in controlling chemical reactivity by spin manipulation was achieved in the last decade, and many remarkable spin and magnetic phenomena have been discovered. Among those discoveries, the most chemically important highlights are magnetic isotope effect, spin catalysis, and single-spin tunneling spectroscopy. This paper summarizes recent advances in these new and hot areas of m...

Recent Advances in Asymmetric Catalysis in Flow

Asymmetric catalysis in flow has been attracting much attention very recently because of the potential advantages over its batchwise counterpart, such as highthroughput screening and synthesis, easy automation with the integration of on-demand reaction analysis, little or no reaction workup, and potential long-term use of the catalysts in the case of heterogeneous catalysis. Homogeneous asymmet...

Review Recent Advances in DNA Catalysis

S ince the identification of the first artificial deoxyribozyme (DNA enzyme, DNAzyme) in 1994, significant progress has been made in our fundamental understanding of DNA’s capabilities as a catalyst. Many efforts have also used deoxyribozymes as critical components within analytical applications. This review addresses some of the recent developments in the area of DNA catalysis, with focus on d...

Artificial metalloenzymes for enantioselective catalysis: recent advances.

Catalysis is the most efficient strategy for the preparation of enantiopure products. Homogeneous and enzymatic catalyses are in many respects complementary in terms of substrate and reaction scope, operating conditions, enantioselection mechanism, etc. In terms of performance optimization, directed evolution methodologies outperform combinatorial ligand libraries. With the aim of combining the...
