Optically switchable molecular solids: photoinduced spin-crossover, photochromism, and photoinduced magnetization
Article Abstract:
A probable route, to find the new optically switchable molecular solids, is to investigate the photoeffects of compounds that exhibit an abrupt phase transition or hysterisis loop. This suggests, that the introduction of intermolecular interactions such as pie-pie interactions, hydrogen bonding or an ion-dipole interaction, might serve to achieve optical switching effects in molecular compounds.

Transition metal-catalyzed/mediated reaction of allenes with a nucleophilic functionality connected to the sigma-carbon atom
Article Abstract:
Allenes, which have a nucleophilic functionality, connected to the sigma-carbon atom, have been shown to be versatile building blocks for the synthesis of butenolides, lactams, iminolactones, etc. The reaction may proceed, via the carbometalation-nucleophilic attack mechanism, or the nucleo-metallation-reductive elimination.
