Although many astrochemists study molecules in the gas phase and reproduce their abundances by modelling the physical conditions of the interstellar medium, the microscopic dust particles floating in the interstellar medium also deserve the attention of the community. Radiation and thermally driven processes taking place on the bare dust, and particularly on dust particles covered by icy mantles, are mimicked in the laboratory. In addition to water, interstellar ice contains other simple species. In this Review we present our current knowledge on ice photochemistry and thermal processing that ultimately leads to the formation of complex organic molecules. Numerous complex organic molecules are of astrobiological interest and match those present in comets and asteroids. Upon impact of these minor bodies, water and complex organic molecules could have been delivered to the early Earth, which might have been vital for the first prebiotic reactions. Ultraviolet irradiation of simple ice mixtures present in the interstellar medium can lead to the synthesis of organic species, which could behave as the precursors to life on primordial Earth following asteroidal and cometary delivery. These reactions and their products are discussed herein.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

They are important reagents in synthesis, including for challenging metalation reactions or the formation of C–C bonds. Despite this, broader applications have long been limited by their high reactivity and sensitivity to air and moisture. However, recent studies have underscored the versatility of carbanions beyond their traditional role as strong bases and nucleophiles. Utilization of molecular design strategies has opened applications such as their use as electron-donating groups isoelectronic with amines, ambiphilic reagents and even as weakly coordinating anions. In this review article, we provide an overview of these emerging uses of carbanionic compounds, aiming to inspire a broader rethinking of their potential and to encourage the development of new applications. This Review highlights the unconventional reactivities of carbanions beyond their traditional roles as nucleophiles and strong bases. It summarizes their applications as ambiphiles, powerful electron-donating groups and even weakly coordinating anions, emphasizing novel synthetic methodologies, catalytic applications and the development of new reagents.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

Although mechanically interlocked molecules are typically constructed using macrocyclic frameworks, the interlocking of two or more three-dimensional, shape-persistent cages remains relatively underexplored. Recent advances have accelerated the development of mechanically interlocked cages (MICs), which consist of interlocked three-dimensional molecular cages rather than macrocycles. Despite their potential in areas such as molecular recognition, separation and catalysis, the design and synthesis of MICs remain challenging. This Review examines the synthetic strategies used to construct MICs, along with their interlocked architecture characteristics, structural dynamics and potential applications. Special attention is given to the guest-binding properties and catalytic performance of monomeric versus catenated cages. We conclude with perspectives on the current challenges and opportunities for future development of MICs. Mechanically interlocked cages are a distinctive class of molecular architectures. This Review highlights their design strategies, structural features and potential applications, while also addressing current challenges and providing insights into future directions for mechanically interlocked cages.","PeriodicalId":18849,"journal":{"name":"Nature reviews.

However, such batteries suffer from limited lifespans caused by the continuous inactivation of their electrodes during operation and even storage, creating inactivated or ‘dead’ Li, which is a combination of electrically insulated metallic Li and solid–electrolyte interphases (SEIs). Numerous efforts have been devoted to uncovering the origins of this inactivation and how it could be mitigated. Given that dead Li cannot be entirely prevented, rejuvenating it has emerged as a solution for prolonging the lifetimes of batteries and energy-storage systems. Here, we discuss the origins of dead Li and its effects on battery operations. We summarize the emerging challenges related to dead Li, such as SEI dissolution, dead Li migration and Li corrosion. We evaluate the limitations of the present strategies devoted to reducing the formation of dead Li, and how to recover and rejuvenate dead Li through redox chemistry and electrochemical protocols. We conclude with development opportunities in operando diagnoses and the rejuvenation of other inactivated electrode materials beyond Li chemistry in cells and large-scale systems already on the market. The inactivation of electrodes triggers the loss of capacity and decreases the lifetimes of batteries, especially for high-capacity systems. Here the rejuvenation chemistry for re-activating electrodes, aimed at prolonging the lifetimes of lithium-based batteries and similar energy-storage systems, is discussed.
