The synthesis and characterisation of an immobilised molecular ruthenium catalyst for the selective oxidation organic substrates in fully aqueous media with high selectivity over competing oxygen evolution reaction is reported.

The flexure parallel mechanism (FPM) possessing selective actuation (SA) feature can be used as a micromanipulation system. The design of FPMs with the SA characteristic consists of type synthesis of parallel mechanisms possessing the required number of degree of freedom (DOF), geometric arrangement of the structure to obtain the SA and conversion of the kinematic mechanism into the flexure mec...

Herein we report the first example of Pd-catalyzed highly selective three-component reaction alkyn-1,4-diol dicarbonates, organoboronic acids, and malonate anions for efficient synthesis trisubstituted 2,3-allenyl malonates not readily...
