We welcome you to NJC’s May issue, out now. This month again NJC publishes high-quality, original and significant research works that cover an impressive range of topics including: electrochemistry, soft matter, nanoparticles, polymers, sensing, synthetic chemistry, crystallographic engineering, supramolecular chemistry, homogenous catalysis, computational chemistry and photochemistry.
The outside front cover highlights our latest Focus article by Jiannian Yao (Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences) on composite nanomaterials fabricated from organic luminescent molecules, which provide opportunities for both theoretical studies on the inter-molecular energy transfer process and practical applications in light-emitting materials, optical waveguides, optical memory media and chemical sensors.
Organic composite nanomaterials: energy transfers and tunable luminescent behaviors, Chuang Zhang, Yong Sheng Zhao and Jiannian Yao, New J. Chem., 2011, 35, 973-978, DOI: 10.1039/C1NJ20012G.
NJC issue 5, 2011 inside front cover was produced by Odile Eisenstein and Elsje Alessandra Quadrelli from the University of Montpellier and the University of Lyon, respectively. In this research article, the authors describe a joint experimental and computational study of the reaction of NH3 with a silica supported amido–imido Ta complex.
