JACS: Do you wonder how to homo-couple two nucleophiles or two radical species? Here's our solution via the persistent radical effect of coupling two free alkyl carboxylic acids.
A proud milestone for @rr_lab - our first JACS publication! Heartiest congratulations to Chandru, Bincy, Sanjai, Sheryl & Venkadesh for this remarkable achievement and well-deserved success. 👏✨pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac… @rr_prof @Chemie_iisertvm @tvmiiser

No more worry about handling sensitive reagents; our bench-stable organozinc reagents are stable in air for a few hours, and even cross-coupling reactions can be performed in open air. Here is the preprint

🇨🇳 CHINA JUST BUILT A TURBINE THAT EATS THE SKY FOR BREAKFAST This beast stands taller than a 63‑story skyscraper and laughs in the face of typhoons. A single turbine churns out enough power for 55,000 homes a year—saving 30,000 tons of coal and blocking 80,000 tons of CO₂ from hitting the air. It’s 31% bigger than the previous “world’s largest” turbine, and China is stacking wind and solar so fast it hit its 2030 clean energy goal six years early. In 2023 alone, China installed 65% of all new global wind power—and now it’s rolling out the largest turbines ever built. Source: IFLScience
