Synthetic bundling molecules organize conjugated polymers into alignedsupramolecular assemblies in an approach inspired by actin-filament bundlingproteins. In their Communication on page 1548 ff., M. Takeuchi, S. Shinkai, and co-workers describe how the use of these “aligner molecules” complements existingtechniques in supramolecular assembly and provides a new means of generatingcomplex and programmed assemblies of conjugated polymers with definedarrangements, as shown in the cover picture.
Orbital measurementsFor a long time, it has been possible to reconstruct orbital functions from measureddata and now even a femtosecond timescale can be used. In the Review onpage 1508 ff., E. Schwarz asks whether complex orbitals can really be measured.
Hydrogen Bonding in CatalysisCan the use of hydrogen-bond donors be transferred to synthetic systems for generalacid catalysis? E. N. Jacobsen and M. S. Taylor search for analogies to an importantenzyme mechanism in the Review on page 1520 ff.
MicroreactorsD. T. McQuade et al. describe in their Communication on page 1544 ff. how amonodisperse flow in a microreactor provides an efficient method for keeping solidproducts away from the channel walls, thereby enabling solids to be synthesizedwithout clogging of the reactor channels.
