Synthesis and Reactivity of an Anionic Diazoolefin

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Bastiaan Kooij, Zhaowen Dong

Bent (hetero)allenes such as carbodicarbenes and carbodiphosphoranes can act as neutral C-donor ligands, and diverse applications in coordination chemistry have been reported. N-Heterocyclic diazoolefins are heterocumulenes, which can function in a similar ...

Decoupling the Contributions of Different Instability Mechanisms to the PEMFC Performance Decay of Non-noble Metal O2-Reduction Catalysts

Vasiliki Tileli, Robin Pierre Alain Girod, Secil Unsal

Non-noble metal catalysts (NNMCs) hold the potential to replace the expensive Pt-based materials currently used to speed up the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cathodes, but they feature poor durability that in ...

Exfoliated 2D Layered and Nonlayered Metal Phosphorous Trichalcogenides Nanosheets as Promising Electrocatalysts for CO2 Reduction

Michael Graetzel, Hong Zhang, Dan Ren, Yelin Hu, Yunfei Jiao, Bing Wu, Chen Shen, Fei Liang

Two-dimensional (2D) materials catalysts provide an atomic-scale view on a fascinating arena for understanding the mechanism of electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (CO2 ECR). Here, we successfully exfoliated both layered and nonlayered ultra-thin met ...

Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering Study of Electron-Exciton Coupling in High-T-c Cuprates

Fabrizio Carbone, Thorsten Schmitt, Ivan Madan, Christophe Berthod, Francesco Barantani, Yi Tseng, Dirk Van der Marel

Explaining the mechanism of superconductivity in the high-T-c cuprates requires an understanding of what causes electrons to form Cooper pairs. Pairing can be mediated by phonons, the screened Coulomb force, spin or charge fluctuations, excitons, or by a c ...

Phase transition of layer-stacked borophene under pressure

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Xiao Dong

The 8-Pmmn borophene, a boron analog of graphene, hosts tilted and anisotropic massless Dirac fermion quasiparticles owing to the presence of a distorted graphenelike sublattice. First-principles calculations show that stacked 8-Pmmn borophene is transform ...

Assessment of metal-based dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors on a novel mesofluidic platform

Paul Joseph Dyson, Sarah Alexandra Pais Pereira

A new miniaturized micro sequential injection coupled with the lab-on-valve (mu SIA-LOV) technique was full-blown to perform inhibitory studies on dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). The system was used to evaluate the DHFR inhibition activity of metal-based a ...

Development of remote C-H bond functionalization of redox-active alcohol derivatives and oxidative transformations under photoredox catalysis

Alexandre Julien Florent Leclair

The development of radical-based remote C(sp3)-H functionalizations of redox-active alcohol derivatives, oxidative cycloaddition and rearrangement transformations under visible light photocatalysis constitute the basis of this thesis.The first chapter desc ...

Confinement of fluorine anions in nickel-based catalysts for greatly enhancing oxygen evolution activity

Yun Tong, Pengzuo Chen

Herein, we highlighted fluorine-anion-modification as a useful method for enhancing OER catalytic activity. Fluorine-anion-doped Ni foam exhibits an almost 10-fold enhancement in OER catalytic activity. Moreover, fluorine-anion-modification could be used a ...

Ab Initio Flexible Force Field for Metal-Organic Frameworks Using Dummy Model Coordination Bonds

Berend Smit, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Matthew David Witman, Sudabeh Jawahery, Nakul Rampal

We present force fields developed from periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations that can be used in classical molecular simulations to model M MOF-74 (M = Co, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Zn) and its extended linker analogs. Our force fields are based on c ...

Observation of methane filled hexagonal ice stable up to 150 GPa

Philippe Gillet, Richard Gaal, Livia Eleonora Bove Kado, Umbertoluca Ranieri

Gas hydrates consist of hydrogen-bonded water frameworks enclosing guest gas molecules and have been the focus of intense research for almost 40 y, both for their fundamental role in the understanding of hydrophobic interactions and for gas storage and ene ...
