Cyclic Hypervalent Iodine Reagents for Atom-Transfer Reactions: Beyond Trifluoromethylation

Jérôme Waser, Durga Prasada Rao Hari, Yifan Li, Maria Victoria Vita

Hypervalent iodine compounds are privileged reagents in organic synthesis because of their exceptional reactivity. Among these compounds, cyclic derivatives stand apart because of their enhanced stability. They have been widely used as oxidants, but their ...

Interplay of Chemical and Electronic Structure on the Single-Molecule Level in 2D Polymerization

Klaus Kern, Claudius Morchutt, Carola Strasser

Single layers of covalently linked organic materials in the form of two-dimensional (2D) polymers constitute structures complementary to inorganic 2D materials. The electronic properties of 2D polymers may be manipulated through a deliberate choice of the ...

Guidelines for Measurement of Luminescence Spectra and Quantum Yields of Inorganic Compounds, Metal Complexes, and Materials

Jean-Claude Bünzli

Guidelines for measuring luminescence of inorganic compounds, metal complexes and organometallic compounds are described. Common textbooks and manuals describing these measurements are usually aimed for physical and/or organic chemists and are not always s ...

Nickel-catalyzed Hydrosilylation of Alkenes and Transition-Metal-Free Intermolecular α-C-H Amination of Ethers

Ivan Buslov

Transition-metal-catalyzed hydrosilylation of olefins is one of the most important methods for the preparation of organosilicon compounds, which have broad applications in both synthetic and material chemistry. For decades, precious metals, principally pla ...

Thermally-nucleated self-assembly of water and alcohol into stable structures at hydrophobic interfaces

Francesco Stellacci, Michele Ceriotti, Kislon Voitchovsky, Daniele Giofré

At the interface with solids, the mobility of liquid molecules tends to be reduced compared with bulk, often resulting in increased local order due to interactions with the surface of the solid. At room temperature, liquids such as water and methanol can f ...

Influence of defect distribution on the reducibility of CeO2-x nanoparticles

Maria Chiara Spadaro

Ceria nanoparticles (NPs) are fundamental in heterogeneous catalysis because of their ability to store or release oxygen depending on the ambient conditions. Their oxygen storage capacity is strictly related to the exposed planes, crystallinity, density an ...

High-level system synthesis and optimization of dataflow programs for MPSoCs

Marco Mattavelli, Simone Casale Brunet, Endri Bezati

The growing complexity of digital signal processing applications make a compelling case the use of high-level design and synthesis methodologies for the implementation on reconfigurable and embedded devices. Past research has shown that raising the level o ...

Complex and liquid hydrides for energy storage

Elsa Callini, Ping Chen

The research on complex hydrides for hydrogen storage was initiated by the discovery of Ti as a hydrogen sorption catalyst in NaAlH4 by Boris Bogdanovic in 1996. A large number of new complex hydride materials in various forms and combinations have been sy ...

Complexity of reversible circuits and their quantum implementations

Mathias Soeken, Nabila Abdessaied

We provide an extensive overview of upper bounds on the number of gates needed in reversible and quantum circuits. As reversible gate libraries we consider single-target gates, mixed-polarity multiple-controlled Toffoli gates, and the set consisting of the ...

Alkynylation with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Jérôme Waser

Alkynes are among the most versatile functional groups in organic synthesis. They are also frequently used in chemical biology and materials science. Whereas alkynes are traditionally added as nucleophiles into organic molecules, hypervalent iodine reagent ...
