Chemistry World September 13, 2006 Simon Hadlington	Red Oxygen Structure Revealed An international team of researchers has cracked a conundrum that has baffled scientists for years: they have elucidated the crystalline structure of an enigmatic phase of solid oxygen that arises when the molecule is subjected to high pressure.
Chemistry World September 13, 2006 Ned Stafford	Germany Puts OLEDs Under the Spotlight German chemicals giant BASF has launched a Joint Innovation Lab to focus on organic light emitting diodes and organic photovoltaics as part of a government initiative to help turn Germany into an OLED global powerhouse.
Chemistry World September 13, 2006 Mark Peplow	Solar Cells Reach Into the Infrared A dye molecule that efficiently harvests the energy of near infrared light could boost the output from the next generation of solar cells.
Chemistry World September 13, 2006 Victoria Gill	Treating Post Traumatic Stress with Stress Hormones The human body's own natural stress hormone, corticosterone, could be developed into a treatment for post traumatic stress disorder, report researchers.
Chemistry World September 12, 2006 Mark Peplow	Bacteria Silenced by Conversation Stoppers Molecules that interrupt the chemical conversations of bacterial communities are showing early promise in beating the bugs.
Chemistry World September 11, 2006	Iron Chelator Offers Sun-Burn Relief A sun cream that mops up sun-generated free iron in the skin could heal sun burn and help prevent skin cancer, claim UK chemists.
Chemistry World September 7, 2006 Tom Westgate	Molecular Framework Sucks up Hydrogen Researchers have now developed a coordination framework material that is the best yet in terms of hydrogen storage. However, the materials currently require low temperatures to achieve the high loading of hydrogen.
Chemistry World September 6, 2006 Michael Gross	Selective Shortcut Chemists have developed a simple catalyst that speeds up the synthesis of a chiral protected building block used in many complex syntheses.
Chemistry World September 4, 2006 Michael Gross	Antibodies in the Greenhouse Researchers have developed a way to produce molecules of the antibody class immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the leaves of ordinary tobacco plants.
Chemistry World September 2006 Simon Hadlington	Destroying the Poisons of War It is almost a decade since the Chemical Weapons Convention came into force but many signatories are failing to meet targets. Just as chemists played a key role in developing these poisons, they are now closely involved in destroying them as cleanly and safely as possible.
