Abstract
Oxide nanocubes have received great research attention because of their unique chemical, optical, magnetic, and electrontransport properties, which are caused by the strong face-to-face interactions among the nanocubes. One of the main challenges in this field is how to realize larg-scale assembly oxide nanocubes in large scale. This review summarizes the recent progress in the organic solution- based routes for fabrication and self-assembly of oxide nanocubes, as well as related physical and chemical properties. Solvent and surfactants those may determine the growth and self-assembly behavior of the nanocubes are emphasized in this paper. This review aims to present a relatively general understanding of the correlation between the surface interactions and self-assembly behaviors of nanomaterials under organic solution based conditions and potential applications of self-assembled oxide nanocubes.
Keywords: Metal oxide, Nanocubes, Self-assembly.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
