  Loops and Cycles at Surfaces: The Unique Properties of Topological Polymer Brushes
  Going in circles: Grafting polymers capable of forming loops or cyclic macromolecules to yield brush films on surfaces, enables the distinctive physicochemical properties of linear brushes to be surpassed. In this Minireview the fabrication, characterization and applications of these polymer assemblies on flat surfaces and nanoparticles is summarized. [Minireview]

Angewandte Chemie 33/2017: Unusual Transfers

In this issue, N. Budisa et al. review biocatalysis with unnatural amino acids. What happens when enzymology meets xenobiology? In a Minireview, B. P. Fors et al. discuss cationic polymerization, its photoinitiation, and its photocontrol. In an Essay, D. E. Lewis looks back on a century of pyridine chemistry, initiated by the works of A. Y. Chichibabin. The Highlight deals with the intermolecular formation of two C–C bonds across olefins (D. Hidasová and U. Jahn).

In the Communications section, W. Lin et al. describe how the surface modification of two-dimensional metal–organic layers creates biomimetic catalytic microenvironments for selective oxidation reactions (see picture). A. Gansäuer et al. investigated S_N2 reactions at tertiary carbon centers in epoxides. J. L. Lutkenhaus et al. found an unusual electron transfer in conjugated radical polymers.

Man versus (Synthesis) Machine

Active machine learning for the discovery and crystallization of gigantic polyoxometalate molecules

Who is the better experimentalist, a human or a robot? When it comes to exploring synthetic and crystallization conditions for inorganic gigantic molecules, actively learning machines are clearly ahead, as demonstrated by British Scientists in an experiment with polyoxometalates published in the journal Angewandte Chemie.
