Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphide chemistry: a half-century of advances across the periodic table
We review structurally authenticated metal(loid) bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphide complexes, highlighting how their solid-state structures and electronic structures differ from those containing the related bis(trimethylsilyl)amide ligand.
Defining, designing and determining the structure of supramolecular frameworks
This Tutorial Review provides an introduction to the field of porous frameworks assembled through directional noncovalent interactions. In it we suggest a coherent naming system for these materials and propose standards for their characterisation.
Ligand relay catalysis: concepts, principles, and applications in transition-metal catalysis
This review highlights ligand relay catalysis, a strategy that employs dynamic ligand exchange to circumvent the limitations of single-ligand systems, thereby enabling superior reactivity, selectivity, and novel transformations.
Three-phase microenvironment modification by optimizing ionomer towards high-performance proton exchange membrane fuel cells
This review summarizes proton, water, and oxygen transport in ionomers of PEMFCs and highlights design strategies to optimize the three-phase boundary, enhancing mass transport, performance, and future prospects.
About this collection
To complement our biennial Emerging Investigators collection, we are delighted to present the 2025 Pioneering Investigators collection. This special collection showcases high quality research being carried out by international researchers who are more established in their independent careers and have been recognised as making a significant contribution to their field.
New articles will be added to this collection as they are published.
