Efficient continuous synthesis of high purity deep eutectic solvents by twin screw extrusion
TL;DR: Mechanochemical synthesis has been applied to the rapid synthesis of Deep Eutectic Solvents, including Reline 200, in a continuous flow methodology by Twin Screw Extrusion (TSE), which gave products in higher purity and with Space Time Yields (STYs), four orders of magnitude greater than for batch methods.

Thermoplastic starch–polyethylene blends homogenised using deep eutectic solvents
TL;DR: In this paper, high density polyethylene, HDPE and thermoplastic starch, TPS are used as the polymers with deep eutectic solvents, DESs as the modifiers.
Active O,Npy,N-titanium(IV) fluoride precatalysts for ethylene polymerization: exploring "fluoride effects" on polymer properties and catalytic performance
TL;DR: In this article, a mer configuration of the three fluoride ligands is adopted in their solid-state structures, which is mirrored in solution, as shown by mutual two-bond F-F coupling in their 19F{1H} NMR spectra.

TL;DR: The 2-biphenyl-2-ol)-6-iminepyridines, 2-(3-C12H8- 2-OH)-6-(CH=NAr)C5H3N (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3 (L1a-H), 2,4, 6-Me3C6h2 (L2b-H) and Pd(OAc)2.

O,N,N-Pincer ligand effects on oxidatively induced carbon–chlorine coupling reactions at palladium
TL;DR: The syntheses of two families of sterically tuneable O,N,N pro-ligands are reported, namely the 2-(phenyl-2'-ol)-6-imine-pyridines and 2-(C6H4-2-OH),6-(CMe=NAr)C5H3N, which reach 90% conversion to 4-chlorotoluene in 15 h as opposed to 17% for imine-containing 3b.
