Unconventional Tough Double-Network Hydrogels with Rapid Mechanical Recovery, Self-Healing, and Self-Gluing Properties

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Xunhui Wang, Zhangjun Huang, Haiyan Jia

Hydrogels are polymeric materials that have a relatively high capacity for holding water. Recently, a double network (DN) technique was developed to fabricate hydrogels with a toughness comparable to rubber. The mechanical properties of DN hydrogels may be ...

Long-Range Bonding/Nonbonding Interactions: A Donor Acceptor Resonance Studied by Dynamic NMR

Long-range bonding interactions were evaluated using variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy and suitable 2'-CH2X-substituted phenylpyridines (X = Me, NMe2, OMe, F). It was found that the arylpyridyl rotational barriers were lower when electronegative atoms ...

CS2 activation at uranium(III) siloxide ate complexes: the effect of a Lewis acidic site

Marinella Mazzanti, Julie Renée Michelle Andrez

Multimetallic cooperative binding of heteroallenes provides an attractive route to their activation, but the reduction of CS2 at heterobimetallic sites, associating an electron-rich metal with a main group Lewis acid has not been explored. Here we show tha ...

Development of prediction models for the reactivity of organic compounds with ozone in aqueous solution by quantum chemical calculations: Role of delocalized and localized molecular orbitals

Urs von Gunten, Minju Lee, Jeremy Samuel Arey, Saskia Gisela Zimmermann-Steffens, Kathrin Fenner

Second-order rate constants (k(O3)) for the reaction of ozone with micropollutants are essential parameters for the assessment of micropollutant elimination efficiency during ozonation in water and wastewater treatment. Prediction models for k(O3) were dev ...

Lanthanide(II) Complexes Supported by N,O-Donor Tripodal Ligands: Synthesis, Structure, and Ligand-Dependent Redox Behavior

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Julie Renée Michelle Andrez

The preparation and characterization of a series of complexes of the Yb and Eu cations in the oxidation state II and III with the tetradentate N,O-donor tripodal ligands (tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA), BPA(-) (HBPA=bis(2-pyridylmethyl)(2-hydroxybenzyl)a ...

Ultrafast Broadband Spectroscopy on Correlated Materials

Andreas Helmut Christian Mann

This thesis deals with femtosecond broadband spectroscopy in the visible regime, which is used to study strongly correlated electron systems. The materials that were studied are high-temperature cuprate superconductors of various dopings and the charge-den ...

Dissociation of charge transfer states and carriers separation in bilayer organic solar cells - A time-resolved electroabsorption spectroscopy study

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Roland Hany, Jelissa Risse

Ultrafast optical probing of the electric field by means of Stark effect in planar heterojunction cyanine dye / fullerene organic solar cells enables to directly monitor the dynamics of free electron formation during the dissociation of interfacial charge ...

Multimetallic Cooperativity in Uranium-Mediated CO2 Activation

Marinella Mazzanti

The metal-mediated redox transformation of CO2 in mild conditions is an area of great current interest. The role of cooperativity between a reduced metal center and a Lewis acid center in small-molecule activation is increasingly recognized, but has not so ...

Structure-property relationships based on Hammett constants in cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes: their application to the design of a fluorine-free FIrPic-like emitter

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Rosario Scopelliti, Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod, Julien Edouard Frey

While phosphorescent cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes have been widely studied, only correlations between oxidation potential EOX and Hammett constant sigma, and between the redox gap (Delta E-REDOX = E-OX-E-RED) and emission or absorption wavelength ...

Spin dynamics and magnetoelectric properties of the coupled-spin tetrahedral compound Cu2Te2O5Cl2

Helmuth Berger

We report on the spin dynamics and discovery of magnetoelectricity in the coupled-spin tetrahedral compound Cu2Te2O5Cl2. Te-125 NMR measurements show an anomalous resonance frequency shift and a signal wipe-out phenomenon around the Neel temperature T-N = ...
