ChemPubSoc Europe is an organization of 16 European chemical societies, founded in the late 1990s as a consequence of the amalgamation of many chemical journals owned by national chemical societies into a number of high-quality European journals.
ChemPubSoc Europe co-owns and supports these journals including Chemistry—A European Journal, European Journal of Organic Chemistry, European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, ChemBioChem, ChemPhysChem, ChemMedChem, ChemSusChem, and ChemCatChem which are published by Wiley-VCH.
The participating societies share a commitment to scientific excellence, to publishing ethics, and to the highest standards in publication, which are the basis for the success of the ChemPubSoc Europe journals.

ChemPubSoc Europe and Wiley-VCH have launched their new chemistry portal, ChemistryViews.org. The first version of this website was presented this May at the 'Frontiers of Chemistry' symposium in Paris in May 2010. The site will be under constant development according to the needs of its users. Content will be added regularly and the first upgrade of the platform is already scheduled for the EuCheMS Conference in late August in Nuremberg—and there is more to follow.

The catalytic dehydration of fructose into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is conducted in an HCl–imidazolium ionic liquid (catalyst–solvent) system, in ambient conditions. High yields and excellent recyclability make the system a promising choice for fructose dehydration. DFT calculations suggest that the solvent “switches” the dehydration from thermodynamically unfavorable into a thermodynamically favorable reaction.

What is in store? Experimental 1H NMR peak intensity and direct adsorption measurements at different pressures, and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations, are used to determine adsorption isotherms of H2 in low-density p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene for pressures up to 175 bar (see figure). Small uptakes (not exceeding 0.25 mass % or one H2 per calixarene bowl) inside the calixarene phase are detected.

Ligands in charge: The catalytic activity in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura reaction upon the use of oligocationic, ammonium-functionalized triarylphosphine ligands is governed by the number of cationic charges in the ligand structure, rather than by their steric or electronic properties. Increasing the number of charges increases the preference for the formation of coordinatively unsaturated phosphine–palladium species, which leads to a higher catalytic activity through faster catalyst activation.

How exciting is it to be ever so slightly ALOOF? We can answer this question by coincidence detection of emitted secondary electrons (SE). From the threshold excitation energy for SE emission, we may determine the surface barrier height at a nanoparticle facet that is skimmed by a focused fast electron beam.

Directing the formation of macromolecular complexes offers important opportunities for understanding and engineering cellular fate and function. Small synthetic components can be used to nucleate the formation of desired cellular machines. A great deal of control over cellular processes and more could be available by applying this concept to couple orthogonal scaffolds to elicit desired outcomes.
