    Annual Report: CY2018 Chempubsoc Europe

    1 Annual Report: CY2018 ChemPubSoc Europe Growth, change, awards, and sponsorship More scientists, more publications, more competition. As in the past, growth continued unabated worldwide in 2018 and is also reflected in the performance metrics of the ChemPubSoc Europe / Wiley-VCH publishing program, which now consists of 16 titles. The most recent product, ChemSystemsChem, was announced in Fall 2018. In 2018, the journals that are co-owned by ChemPubSoc Europe societies published nearly 9,000 articles (excluding contributions to the online publication ChemViews Magazine). Compared to the previous year, manuscript submissions grew by 12%, and the number of published articles rose by approximately 5%. A record number of full-text downloads, >8.9 million, was witnessed for the ChemPubSoc Europe journals, with increases in usage compared to the same time last year; notable among them ca. +20–30% for ChemCatChem, ChemElectroChem, ChemMedChem, and ChemPlusChem; and ca. +70% for ChemistrySelect and ChemPhotoChem. Approximately 3% of articles published in ChemPubSoc Europe's hybrid journals in 2018 were open access: ca. 10% at ChemBioChem and ca. 5% at ChemCatChem, Chemistry—A European Journal, ChemMedChem, and ChemPhysChem, respectively. ChemPubSoc Europe's gold open access journal, ChemistryOpen, experienced a ca. 47% growth in submissions compared to 2017. Generational change After the retirement of Peter Gölitz in November 2017, additional responsibility was taken on by Guido Herrmann (VP, Co-Managing Director Wiley-VCH, since April 1, 2017), Eva Wille (VP, Executive Director Wiley-VCH), Neville Compton (Editor-in-Chief of Angewandte Chemie and publisher for the GDCh journals), Haymo Ross (Editor-in-Chief of Chemistry—A European Journal and publisher of the ChemPubSoc Europe journals), Theresa Kueckmann (Editor-in-Chief of Chemistry—An Asian Journal and publisher for the Asian Chemical Editorial Society (ACES) journals), and Greta Heydenrych (development of new journals).

    GEORG WITTIG Heidelberg, Federal Republic of Germany Translation from the German Text

    FROM DIYLS TO YLIDES TO MY IDYLL Nobel Lecture, 8 December 1979 by GEORG WITTIG Heidelberg, Federal Republic of Germany Translation from the German text Chemical research and mountaineering have much in common. If the goal or the summit is to be reached, both initiative and determination as well as perseverance are required. But after the hard work it is a great joy to be at the goal or the peak with its splendid panorama. However, especially in chemical research - as far as new territory is concerned - the results may sometimes be quite different: they may be disappointing or delightful. Looking back at my work in scientific research, I will confine this talk to the positive results (1). Some 50 years ago I was fascinated by an idea which I investigated experi- mentally. The question was how ring strain acts on a ring if an accumulation of phenyl groups at two neighboring carbon atoms weakens the C-C linkage and predisposes to the formation of a diradical (for brevity called diyl) (Fig. 1). Among the many experimental results (2) I choose the synthesis of the hydrocarbons 1 and 4 (3), which we thought capable of diyl formation. Starting materials were appropriate dicarboxylic esters, which we transformed into the corresponding glycols. While these were obtained under the influence of phenylmagnesium halide only in modest yield, phenyllithium proved to be superior and was readily accessible by the method of K. Ziegler, using bromobenzene and lithium. The glycolates resulting from the reaction with potassium phenylisopropylide formed - on heating with methyl iodide - the corresponding dimethyl ethers, which supplied the equivalent hydrocarbons 1 and 4 by alkali metal splitting and demetalation with tetramethylethylene dibromide.

    The Emergence of the Structure of the Molecule and the Art of Its Synthesis

    Total Synthesis DOI: 10.1002/anie.200((will be filled in by the editorial staff)) The Emergence of the Structure of the Molecule and the Art of Its Synthesis K. C. Nicolaou* At the core of the science of chemistry lie the structure of the molecule, the art of its synthesis, and the design of function within it. These attributes elevate chemistry to an essential, indispensable, and powerful discipline whose impact on the life and materials sciences is paramount, undisputed, and expanding. Indeed, today the combination of structure, synthesis, and function is driving many scientific frontiers forward, including drug discovery and development, biology and biotechnology, materials science and nanotechnology, and molecular devices of all kinds. What connects structure and function is synthesis, whose flagship is total synthesis, the art of constructing the molecules of nature and their derivatives. The power of chemical synthesis at any given time is reflected and symbolized by the state of the art of total synthesis, and as such the condition and sophistication of the latter needs to be continuously nourished and advanced. In this review the understanding of the structure of the molecule, the emergence of organic synthesis, and the art of total synthesis are traced from the nineteenth century to the present day. 1. Introduction other sciences, technologies, and engineering, and how did it come to be so advanced and enabling?

Desalinating saline water offers a rational choice to produce fresh water thus resolving the crisis. Among various kinds of desalination technologies, capacitive deionization (CDI) is of significant potential owing to the facile process, low energy consumption, mild working conditions, easy regeneration, low cost and the absence of secondary pollution. The electrode material is an essential component for desalination performance. The most used electrode material is carbon-based material, which suffers from low desalination capacity (under 15 mg g 1). However, · − the desalination of saline water with the CDI method is usually the charging process of a battery or supercapacitor. The electrochemical capacity of battery electrode material is relatively high because of the larger scale of charge transfer due to the redox reaction, thus leading to a larger desalination capacity in the CDI system.
