Internal constraints and arrested relaxation in main-chain nematic elastomers
Abstract: Nematic liquid crystal elastomers (N-LCE) exhibit intriguing mechanical properties, such as reversible actuation and soft elasticity, which manifests as a wide plateau of low nearly-constant stress upon stretching....

Mechanistic Insights into a Chiral Phosphoric Acid-Catalyzed Asymmetric Pinacol Rearrangement
The first catalytic enantioselective pinacol rearrangement was reported by Antilla and co-workers in 2010. The reaction was catalyzed by a chiral phosphoric acid and resulted in high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 96% ee)....
