Periods are a practical barrier that can impact the academic progression of those who experience them, particularly in physically intensive courses such as chemistry degrees. As we work towards equality in education it is important to improve the environment for those with periods and providing easy access to free period products in bathrooms across educational institutions is a practical way to do this and reduce barriers to studying chemistry.

Polyamides, also known as nylons, are important industrial polymers with repeating amide bonds. With the growing concern about climate change, technologies that can establish the foundation for a transition toward a carbon-neutral chemical industry are attracting considerable attention. This article provides an overview of the current advancements in the bio-based production of polyamide monomers using metabolically engineered microorganisms and the bio-based polyamides synthesized using those monomers are reviewed. Furthermore, the synthesis of bio-based polyamides using monomers obtained from the chemical conversion of natural oils is discussed. Finally, studies and the current status of biodegradation and recycling of polyamides are described to provide insights into the potential future roles of bio-based polyamides in the green chemical industry and sustainable society.

Chemodivergent reactions provide a unique platform for accessing expanded chemical space and diverse molecular structures from similar starting materials. The concept of tunable chemoselectivity can be realized by simple modifications to the substrate or reaction conditions. Among the known chemodivergent transformations, radical reactions have emerged as an exceedingly powerful toolbox for their simplicity and efficiency, creating a feasible path to achieve tunable chemoselectivity. This review focuses on recent progress since 2018 in controlling the different reaction pathways in radical cyclization reactions; substrate-dependent reactions, controlled by chain length, substituents and radical precursors, and condition-controlled reactions, mainly dominated by catalysts, bases, redox reagents, solvents, etc. Future avenues for investigation are also presented to help expand this exciting field.

Previous studies on how to prolong the relaxation times of single-molecule magnets (SMMs) focus on mitigating the quantum tunneling effect. However, recent progress shows that Raman relaxation is more critical. Yet, the study of the Raman process turns out to be a barren zone for molecular systems and requires further exploration.

Emitters incorporating circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-based organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) are highly desirable in the pursuit of new optoelectronic applications such as 3D displays and optical data storage. In particular, emitters possessing circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-TADF) are able to achieve high efficiency in OLEDs. By further endowing multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF, a subclass of TADF) with circularly polarized properties, MR-CP-OLEDs can obtain narrow emission bandwidths and may help to realize the holy grail of ultra-small bandwidth. Accordingly, this review covers the recent progress and evolution of CP-TADF emitters, their upgraded features and corresponding device technologies, as well as the challenges encountered in practical CP-OLEDs.

The concept of coordinatively unsaturated centers (CUCs) initially introduced in the realm of homogeneous catalysis using organometallic complexes has demonstrated its indispensability within the context of both enzyme and heterogeneous catalysis. With uniform molecule-sized channels high surface area and abundant basic/acidic sites zeolite can be regarded as an ideal scaffold for hosting CUCs and enabling their interaction with small molecules. Here an overview of contemporary advancements on CUCs within zeolite matrices and their interaction with small molecules is presented. Diverse methodologies for introducing CUCs to zeolites and the corresponding characterization techniques are explored. Also in-depth analyses of small-molecule activation on CUCs and the underlying mechanism covering a wide range of important chemical transformations are performed.

Anion-exchangeable layered host compounds have attracted significant interest in many areas of chemistry. In particular, disintegrating the crystalline layered solids into single layers provides molecularly thin 2D materials as graphene relatives. This review addresses a newly emerging layered host, layered rare-earth (RE) hydroxides, in which anion exchangeability is paired with the intriguing properties of RE elements. The evolution of this class of layered materials exemplifies the concept of crystal engineering, whereby a cationic 2D lattice is derived from the crystalline framework of RE(OH)3 via dimensional reduction and topology engineering. Subsequent chemical exfoliation leads to RE-based hydroxide nanosheets. These nanosheets are employed as LEGO-like building blocks to construct artificial hierarchical structures, which offer promising opportunities for realizing sophisticated functionalities.
