Frontispiece: From Enzymes to Functional Materials—Towards Activation of Small Molecules

Frontispiece: From Enzymes to Functional Materials—Towards Activation of Small Molecules
Ulf-Peter Apfel, Reece G. Miller, Frauke Möller, Stefan Piontek
The selective activation and conversion of small molecules, such H2, CO2, H2O, and O2 is one of the major challenges of our society. Numerous potential catalysts have been reported and principles that can be found in enzymes apply to most of the efficient catalysts. In their Review article on page 1471 ff., U.-P. Apfel et al. provide a summary of biological, homogeneous, and heterogeneous catalysts with a focus on design principles with the aim to raise awareness that novel materials can be designed following the blueprints of enzymatic catalysts.
