    Application of molecular SERS nanosensors: where we stand and where we are headed towards?
    (Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer, 2020) Jahn I.J.; Mühlig A.; Cialla-May D.
    Molecular specific and highly sensitive detection is the driving force of the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) community. The technique opens the window to the undisturbed monitoring of cellular processes in situ or to the quantification of small molecular species that do not deliver Raman signals. The smart design of molecular SERS nanosensors makes it possible to indirectly but specifically detect, e.g. reactive oxygen species, carbon monoxide or potentially toxic metal ions. Detection schemes evolved over the years from simple metallic colloidal nanoparticles functionalized with sensing molecules that show uncontrolled aggregation to complex nanostructures with magnetic properties making the analysis of complex environmental samples possible. The present article gives the readership an overview of the present research advancements in the field of molecular SERS sensors, highlighting future trends. © 2020, The Author(s).

    Rhodium-catalyzed borylative carbon monoxide reduction to gem-diborylmethane
    (Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2021) Xua, Jian-Xing; Wu, Fu-Peng; Wu, Xiao-Feng
    Herein, we developed a rhodium-catalyzed reduction of CO with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) under atmospheric pressure of CO with silane as the hydride source, gem-diborylmethane [H2C(Bpin)2] as a versatile and fundamental C1 compound can be formed. Notably, this is the first example on transition metal-catalyzed borylation of CO. © 2020 The Author(s)

    Palladium-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of sec-Benzylic Ethers
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Verl., 2020) Schneider, Carolin; Jackstell, Ralf; Maes, Bert U.W.; Beller, Matthias
    Herein, we report the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 3-arylpropionate esters starting from secondary benzylic ethers. With this investigation it could be shown that ethers are suitable starting materials in addition to the established carbonylation reactions of olefins, alcohols, or aryl halides. © 2020 The Authors.
