A fast and sensitive method to monitor hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in ambient air based on a visible color change of a printed disposable sensor has been developed. As gas-sensitive material, an immobilized copper(II) complex of the azo dye 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphtol (H-PAN)

The structural complexity of composite biomaterials and biomineralized particles arises from the hierarchical ordering of inorganic building blocks over multiple scales. Although empirical observations of complex nanoassemblies are abundant, the physicochemical mechanisms leading to their geometrical complexity are still puzzling

Direct arylation of thiophenes and benzothiophenes with aryltrimethylsilanes was effectively catalyzed by PdCl(2)(MeCN)(2) in the presence of CuCl(2) as an oxidant. The reaction preferentially occurred at the β-position of both thiophenes and benzothiophenes.

Glycosyl 1-phosphates enriched in the α-anomer are obtained without the use of protecting groups in two steps starting from the free hemiacetal. Condensation of free hemiacetals with toluenesulfonylhydrazide yields a range of glycosylsulfonohydrazide donors which can be oxidized using cupric
