The selective and predictable synthesis of structurally uniform carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
represents a long‐standing goal in both nanocarbon science and synthetic organic chemistry. …

The formation of organic films on gold employing N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has been
previously shown to be a useful strategy for generating stable organic films. However, …

A combination of cobalt and nickel catalytic cycles enables a highly branch-selective (Markovnikov)
olefin hydroarylation. Radical cyclization and ring scission experiments are …
