Lessons from the Iberian Outage: Chemistry Must Be Resilient, Not Just Sustainable

1 month ago | chemistryviews.org | Vera Koester

A massive power outage that struck Spain and Portugal in April also disrupted the 9th Portuguese Young Chemists Meeting (PYCheM) in Faro, forcing the suspension of several sessions. During these hours, Carina Vieira, Daniela Malafaia, Diana Cunha, Joana Leal, João António, Pedro Gois, Javier García-Martínez, Timothy Noël, and Martyn Poliakoff met and agreed that this is a sign that chemistry needs to be both resilient and sustainable.
Engineered Gold–Iron Nanoclusters for Enhanced Tumor Therapy - ChemistryViews

1 month ago | chemistryviews.org | Vera Koester

Leveraging the exposed metal centers in mononuclear organometallic catalysts and the tunable ligand of nanoclusters (NCs), Shuang-Quan Zang, Zhengzhou University, China, and colleagues have developed gold–iron nanoclusters (Au₈Fe₂ NCs) with strong peroxidase (POD)-mimicking activity and notable antitumor properties.
Chlorinated Organic Substances Can Be Converted into Dioxins in the Atmosphere

Are the Risks of Hazardous Chemicals Being Determined Appropriately? In certain cases, apparently not. Reearcer from China indicate that chlorinated volatile organic compounds on mineral dust particles in the atmosphere can be converted into highly toxic polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans by sunlight.

Do You Know ChemSec's SIN List and How You Could Use It?

1 month ago | chemistryviews.org | Vera Koester

The SIN (Substitute It Now) List, developed by the non-profit organization ChemSec, identifies hazardous chemicals that are likely to be banned or restricted under EU chemicals legislation such as REACH. The list includes substances that pose serious risks to human health or the environment—such as carcinogens, mutagens, and endocrine disruptors. It is developed independently with scientific input and free from industry pressure.
Fluorine Tunneling Reshapes Our Understanding of Molecular Stability

1 month ago | chemistryviews.org | Vera Koester

Sebastian Hasenstab-Riedel and Carsten Müller, FU Berlin, Germany, and their coauthors have spent over a decade investigating the fascinating behavior of the [F₅]⁻ anion in a cryogenic neon matrix. In this interview, they speak about their results and how their study has advanced the field of molecular chemistry. What did you do? Over a decade ago, my team and I managed to capture an unusual molecule, [F₅]⁻, in a neon crystal at −270 °C.
Will There Still Be Chocolate in the Future?

1 month ago | chemistryviews.org | Vera Koester

Cocoa farming faces increasing threats from climate change and plant diseases such as Black Pod, Frosty Pod, and Cocoa Swollen Shoot Virus, leading to harvest declines and record-high cocoa prices. As a result of climate change, traditional cocoa-growing regions may become unsuitable, and the composition of cocoa butter is also expected to shift. The plant modifies the fat to become more resilient, resulting in the fatty acids becoming more saturated.
The Chemistry of the Smoke That Signals the Decision of the Papal Conclave

1 month ago | chemistryviews.org | Vera Koester

The smoke that signals the decision—white for success, black for no decision—is controlled by some interesting chemistry. The decision-making process and voting for a new pope currently take place in utmost secrecy in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, Italy. All cardinals under the age of 80 will be able to vote. The only clue about what is happening at the papal conclave is the smoke that emerges twice a day from the burning of the ballot papers in a stove.
