A synthetic enzyme mimic has been developed to catalyze the insertion of an oxygen atom into stable aromatic rings, driving chemical reactions that run entirely on oxygen and produce only water as waste. The artificial system successfully replicates the function of naturally occurring extradiol dioxygenase enzymes while utilizing a non-natural metal ion.

💬 Behind the Science Interview with Navadheer Yalamanchili (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland)
He discusses how the self-assembly of simple catalysts into a chiral environment enables efficient deracemization of racemic mixtures, avoiding the need to synthesize complex chiral catalysts

How can we predict chemical reactions more accurately? Robert Mayer, our newly appointed Professor of Physical-Organic Chemistry of Catalysis, explores this question. Using automated experiments and data-driven models, he investigates catalytic reactions to identify optimal conditions for chemical syntheses more quickly.

Why does liquid hydrogen slowly disappear during storage?
Residual ortho-hydrogen releases heat as it converts to the more stable para form.
New catalysts accelerate this transition beforehand, helping limit costly boil-off losses.

Why can't we just reverse the Haber-Bosch process?
In the latest episode, I talk to Prof. Malte Behrens @SolidStateChemCatal_Kiel about ammonia as a possible hydrogen carrier.
We dive deep into the chemistry of ammonia cracking and explain why the classic iron catalyst loses its activity. Find out how alloying iron with cobalt might just be the solution to unlocking green energy transport via ammonia!
