  text: In this personal account, I describe the work performed in my research group
    on the development of methods that harness heterogeneous photocatalysts for light-mediated
    nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings. This includes catalytic systems using carbon
    nitride materials, dye-sensitized TiO₂, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and
    conjugated polymers. The rationale behind the selection of materials and how their
    use led to the identification of catalyst deactivation, structure–activity relationships,
    and future opportunities is discussed.

  text: A continuous Bucherer–Bergs hydantoin synthesis utilizing intensified conditions
    is reported. The methodology is characterized by a two-feed flow approach to independently
    feed the organic substrate and the aqueous reagent solution. The increased interfacial
    area of the biphasic reaction mixture and the lack of headspace enabled almost
    quantitative conversions within ca. 30 minutes at 120 °C and 20 bar even for unpolar
    starting materials. In addition, a selective N(3)-monoalkylation of the resulting
    heterocycles under batch microwave conditions is reported yielding potential acetylcholinesterase
    inhibitors.

  text: We report a method for preparing electrode–molecule–electrode junctions that
    incorporate nonsymmetrical azobenzene dithiols. Our approach is based on sequential
    deprotection of thiol moieties originally carrying two different protecting groups.
    The azobenzene derivatives retained their switching properties within monolayers
    and permitted the photocontrol of electrical conductance.
