You can now browse issue 4 of NJC on the website. This month again, NJC publishes high-quality, original and significant research in the areas of supramolecular chemistry, organometallic chemistry, catalysis, nanostructures, material sciences, electrochemistry, sensing, synthetic chemistry, crystallographic engineering and much more.
The outside front cover highlights our latest article by Hong-Jie Zhang and co-workers (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun, China) representing their work on cross-linking adjacent 2D interpenetrating sheets by ligand-unsupported Ag–Ag bonds to give a 3D self-penetrating network.
An unusual three-dimensional self-penetrating network derived from cross-linking of two-fold interpenetrating nets via ligand-unsupported Ag–Ag bonds: synthesis, structure, luminescence, and theoretical study by Xue-Zhi Song, Chao Qin, Wei Guan, Shu-Yan Song and Hong-Jie Zhang; New J. Chem., 2012, 36, 877-882; DOI: 10.1039/C2NJ20888A
The inside front cover features work by Karl S. Booksh et al. (University of Delaware, Newark, USA) on electrografting the diazonium salt of 4-aminophenylalanine onto gold surfaces. The resulting layers were characterized extensively and the ability to resist nonspecific protein adsorption was shown, potentially facilitating biosensing in complex media.
Characterization of electrografted 4-aminophenylalanine layers for low non-specific binding of proteins by Nicola Menegazzo, Qiongjing Zou and Karl S. Booksh, New J. Chem., 2012, 36, 963-970; DOI: 10.1039/C2NJ20930F.
