Let’s go Salen into the future! #Electrosnythesis, that is, converting substrates to useful products with the help of electricity, benefits from the introduction of #electrocatalysts that mediate between the electrode and the species in solution. Metal #salens, modular in their design and thus easily tunable, have been found useful to avoid high overpotentials and to increase the turnover numbers. Yet, using them as solution species makes downstream separation more complicated, costly, and time consuming. Zach N. and Shelley Minteer (University of Utah) highlight key advancements in the immobilization of metal salens for tackling this issue. Using different electrode immobilization techniques, such as polymerization and covalent attachment, straightforward separation and recycling of catalysts is made possible. With key examples ranging from water oxidation over CO2 reduction to organic electrosynthesis, this Review aims to help finding other applications, stimulate research into flow reactors and syntheses at scale.

Turning #smoke into data? E-Cigarettes, while enormously popular especially among teenagers and young adults, are still under investigation for a clearer picture of their health implications. Characterizing the full spectrum of compounds in #cigarette emissions has been challenging due to the limitations of conventional analysis methods. Alex Yong-Qi Gao, Natalia Gasilova, Jan-Christoph Wolf (Plasmion), Luc Patiny, Menin Laure and Maria Pavlou (EPFL) employed concentric dielectric barrier discharge ionization #MassSpectrometry to perform a rapid, untargeted puff-by-puff analysis of (e-)cigarette emissions. This innovative approach allowed them to identify 225 compounds across various chemical classes, including acids, carbonyls, and aromatic cycles. In just two five-minute runs, a wealth of data could be generated which the team analyzed, revealing a broader spectrum of compounds and highlighting differences between liquids from different brands. This method not only enhances our understanding of the #chemical landscape of e-cigarettes but also sets a new standard for rapid and comprehensive analysis in this field.

💫 Thrilled to share my cover for Chemistry Europe featuring fingerprints as a central metaphorical idea! *second in a row, wow😅 This cover accompanies a fascinating study on decoding the stereochemistry of a cyclic lipodepsipeptide of bacterial origin. By matching its NMR proton–carbon spectral fingerprint to a synthetic library of analogues with defined stereochemistry, the researchers developed a smart and efficient approach. Breaking the lipopeptide macrocycle via selective ester bond hydrolysis limits the required synthetic effort to a library of linear lipopeptides, making the method both resourceful and widely applicable. Huge congratulations to N. Geudens, J. C. Martins, and their team from Ghent University for this groundbreaking work!
