  Bimetallic Catalysis using Transition and Group 11 Metals: An Emerging Tool for C-C Coupling and Other Reactions
  
  Two are better than one: Bimetallic catalysis, combining the action of at least two non-main-group metals for the formation of C-C bonds and other reactions, has been quietly growing in very recent years. Pd and Cu or Au initially dominated the topic, but other metals are joining the feast (see figure). This review brings together knowledge coming from classic inorganic and organometallic studies on polymetallic systems and the newer studies in the field of bimetallic catalysis. [Review]

All Foamed Up

Synthesis of macroporous polystyrene through polymerization of foamed emulsions

Packaging, insulation, and impact protection are examples of commercial uses of polymer foams. Depending on the intended application, the properties required of these foams can differ greatly. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a team of German, Irish, and French researchers led by Cosima Stubenrauch at the University of Stuttgart has now introduced a new method for the controlled production of structured foams. Their technique is based on the polymerization of foamed emulsions of oil in water.
