<i>JACS Au</i> Earns First Partial Impact Factor

JGLD has got its first impact factor.

Four years after changing the journal name in order to adapt to its international development (formerly it was called the Romanian Journal of Gastroenterology) and two years after their last message to the readers, announcing the indexing of the journal by ISI/Thomson Reuters [1], the Editors believe it is time for a new message. And they have a good reason for this: the Journal of Gastrointest...

The team that works together earns together.

Vesicular transport earns a Nobel.

The field of intracellular traffic is celebrating the awarding of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to three of its most distinguished scientists--James Rothman, Randy Schekman, and Thomas Südhof--for their discoveries on the molecular mechanisms of vesicular transport. Their outstanding achievements serve as inspiration for the next generation of scientists to continue the task of...

What re-enactment earns us.

Evidence from both behavioural and brain studies suggests that perception of actions and their outcomes may induce (overt or covert) production of related actions in perceivers. Three views of the proper function of such re-enactment have been suggested: imitation, identification, and anticipation. Here I propose that the proper function of re-enactment is to subserve anticipation of upcoming a...

Polynuclear Gold [AuI]4, [AuI]8, and Bimetallic [AuI 4AgI] Complexes: C−H Functionalization of Carbonyl Compounds and Homogeneous Carbonylation of Amines

The synthesis of tetranuclear gold complexes, a structurally unprecedented octanuclear complex with a planar [Au(I) 8 ] core, and pentanuclear [Au(I) 4 M(I) ] (M=Cu, Ag) complexes is presented. The linear [Au(I) 4 ] complex undergoes C-H functionalization of carbonyl compounds under mild reaction conditions. In addition, [Au(I) 4 Ag(I) ] catalyzes the carbonylation of primary amines to form ure...
