Graphical Abstract

Cytoplasmic re-targeting of the pyrrolysine-based genetic code expansion machinery by using a nuclear export signal (NES) substantially increases the site-specific incorporation of clickable amino acids (green) into proteins in mammalian cells, as shown by E. A. Lemke and co-workers in their Communication on page 16172 ff. These clickable amino acids can then be modified with annealing sites for small DNA imaging strands (red) to enable high-contrast Click-PAINT super-resolution microscopy.

Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks

In their Communication on page 16012 ff., R. Grau-Crespo, S. Hamad et al. show that using mixed linkers within zeolitic imidazolate frameworks provides a route for tuning their electronic gaps and band edge positions.

Silanides

In their Communications on page 16156 ff. and on page 16161 ff., B. Hoge and co-workers show the synthesis of Li[Si(C2F5)3] and its use to transfer the Si(C2F5)3 unit onto main-group and transition-metal compounds as well as organic scaffolds.

Rhodium Single-Atom Catalysts

In their Communication on page 16054 ff. B. Qiao, T. Zhang et al. describe heterogeneous rhodium single-atom catalysts supported on ZnO nanowires that show an olefin hydroformylation efficiency comparable to that of the homogeneous Wilkinson′s catalyst.
