Hierarchical Polymer Structures: 60 Years after the Staudinger Nobel PriceAdvances in Polymer Science enjoys a longstand-ing tradition and good reputation in its com-munity. Each volume is dedicated to a current topic, and each review critically surveys one aspect of that topic, to place it within the context of the volume. The volumes typically summa-rize the significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years and discuss them critically, presenting selected examples, explaining and illustrating the important principles, and bringing together many important references of primary literature. On that basis, future research directions in the area can be discussed.

Organotrifluoroborate Preparation, Coupling and HydrolysisAlistair Lennox’s thesis reports on the reactivity of organotrifluoroborates, which are becoming increasingly important reagents in synthesis. The thesis is divided into three sections. The first sec-tion describes a method for preparing organotri-fluoroborates. The second section reports on a mechanistic investigation into the main applica-tion of RBF3K reagents as coupling partners in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, phenomena identified as arising from organotrifluoroborate hydrolysis and fluoride release. The final section reports on a detailed investigation into the hydrolysis mecha-nism, a prerequisite for their Suzuki-Miyaura cou-pling, and how it may be predicted and controlled.

Lewis Acid-Assisted Stereoselective SynthesisThe practical aspects of Lewis acid-assisted stere-oselective synthesis, basic principles of Lewis-acid catalysis, stereoisomerism, chemical selectivity and stereoselectivity are the focus of this work. It is aimed at organic-synthetic professionals em-ploying stereoselective Lewis acid catalysts, who wish to increase their understanding and odds of successful outcomes. Intended for researchers, graduate-level or advanced undergrads with a thorough grasp of the fundamentals of synthetic organic chemistry. This is not a textbook thus the reader is freed from pedagogical restrictions. Vari-ous areas of Lewis acid catalysis and stereochem-istry are selected for recent significant develop-ments. The interplay of structure and reactivity within innovative mechanistic constructs is always involved, and mechanistic models are included when particularly valuable for understanding or predicting observed stereoselectivity.

Hierarchical Bottom-Up Methodology for Integrating Dynamic Ethynylhelicene OligomersSynthesis, Double Helix Formation, and the Higher Assembly Formation

In biological systems, molecules hierarchically form ordered assemblies and macroscopic sub-stances, as exemplified by the assembly of proteins. The development of such systems using oligomeric macromolecules obtained by organic synthesis can provide insights into biological phenomena and will lead to the creation of new materials.

Features 7 Nominated by Tohoku University as an out-standing Ph.D. thesis 7 Describes methodology to systematically obtain diverse synthetic homo- and hetero-double helix molecules using ethy-nylhelicene oligomers 7 Brings to the reader’s attention unprecedented studies on assembly formation formed by intercomplex interaction of synthetic double helices

Catalysis with Supported Size-selected Pt ClustersFundamental UHV and Applied Ambient Experiments

In his thesis, Florian Schweinberger investigates the influence of the precise size of catalytically active species on reactivity. In order to do this he carries out studies both in UHV and under ambi-ent conditions for supported, size-selected Platium clusters (8-68 atoms). Schweinberger probed the electronic structure, adsorption properties and reactivity of two olefins on surfaces and Pt clusters in the submonolayer range.

Features 7 Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Technische Universität München, Germa-ny 7 Shows new size-dependent reactions under UHV conditions on clusters and compares them to single-crystal data in the same setup 7 Pres-ents various new means of characterization and applications for clusters as heterogeneous model catalysis under applied, ambient conditions 7 In-cludes results on size- and coverage-dependent catalytic reactions under ambient conditions, including measurements in ?-reactors and as part of a hybrid photocatalytic material

Contents Introduction.- Background and methods.- Litera-ture survey and theory.- Experimental methods.- Ultra high vacuum.- Model catalysts under vacu-um conditions.- Ambient.- Cluster catalysts under applied conditions.- Conclusion and outlook.

Dietary Supplement Regulation in the United StatesContrary to the common belief that dietary supplements are “unregulated” in the United States, nutrients and other dietary ingredient-containing products have been regulated in this country for a little over a century at least in some capacity, initially through the Pure Food and Drug Act (PFDA) of 1906 and culminating with the many anticipated regulations to be implemented following the recent enactment of the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010 (FSMA). The goal of this brief is to review and discuss the current stat-utes and regulations surrounding the ingredients, manufacturing standards, safety, and labeling of dietary supplements for the purpose of protecting consumers.

Features 7 Reviews current statutes and regulations surrounding dietary ingredients 7 Discusses both US and international regulations 7 Excel-lent source of references for dietary supplement regulation

Contents Introduction.- Current Good Manufacturing Prac-tices.- Safety Standards.- Labeling.- International Regulations.- References.
