The cover picture shows the general method to synthesize hollow transition-metal phosphates nanoparticles. More viewpoints are provided on the issues around the synthesis methods with advanced novel strategies to explore the functionalization of these hollow transition-metal phosphates for different applications, such as energy conversion, catalysis, adsorption, and drug delivery. High surface area, tunable size, and thorough porosity on the shell with hollow voids enhance the aforementioned applications. See the Review by B. P. Bastakoti and co-workers (DOI:10.1002/tcr.202200084).

Michael J. S. Dewar, John D. Roberts, and Andrew Streitwieser, Jr. were three organic chemists who were also experts in molecular orbital theory in the 1950s and 1960s. They, and many of their colleagues could have, but did not, discover orbital symmetry control of pericyclic reactions.

This personal account summarizes the research carried out in our laboratory at the crossroads of nucleic acids and boronic acids chemistries.

This account outlines the evolution of Discotic Liquid Crystals (DLCs) as emitters in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) through varied photophysical processes like fluorescence, aggregation-induced emission (AIE), and hybrid local and charge transfer (HLCT). The efficiency of these self-assembling molecules is also discussed in terms of device parameters for OLED devices fabricated with representative examples.

Prins cyclization is one of the wonderful strategies to construct tetrahydropyran (THP) unit stereo selectively in asymmetric synthesis. In this account, we discuss our research efforts toward the synthesis of various natural products from the past two decades (2005–2020) by using Prins cyclization as key step. Further, the synthetic utility of this reaction was investigated and well demonstrated on various molecules successfully. Moreover, this review will be useful and simplify the complexity in the synthesis of similar natural products which is having THP as core unit in future.

Urease, an enzyme catalyzing hydrolysis of urea, is a target in possible treatment of bacterial infections of Helicobacter pylori and Proteus spp. The review summarizes efforts for rational construction of inhibitors of bacterial ureases using mainly organophosphorus and organoselenium compounds. Several classes of highly potent inhibitors of urease from pathogenic bacteria were developed.

Design and synthesis of hollow transition metal phosphate for catalysis, energy conversion and bio-application.

Recent advances in the NHC-organocatalyzed generation of azolium enolates from suitably substituted aldehydes, acid derivatives or ketenes and their interception with various electrophiles are summarized.

Covalent Organic Frameworks are an emerging class of porous crystalline materials, having large surface area, high porosity, low density and systematically ordered pore structures. Furthermore, the facile functionalization of COFs makes them suitable candidates for a variety of membrane science based separation applications.

General overview of nanowire motors

Trinucleotide cap analogs outperform dinucleotide cap analogs in terms of capping efficiency and translational properties. mRNA vaccines contain the presence of mRNA cap 1 structure. mRNA cap analogs can be used in the area of anticancer immunization, protein production, and gene therapy.

DNA based building blocks are explored to realise supramolecular assemblies like DNA hydrogels and dendrimers that exhibit very high growth potential in different domains of biomedical applications such as stimuli responsive devices, biosensing, therapeutic delivery, immunosensing and immunomodulation, tissue engineering and robotics, etc.
