Intensification of highly exothermic fast reaction by multi-injection microstructured reactor

Albert Renken, John Richard Thome, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Navid Borhani, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber

Microstructured reactors (MSR) with characteristic dimensions below 100 μm are warranted to maintain close to isothermal conditions when carrying out quasi-instantaneous highly exothermic reactions. Unfortunately, such small dimensions increase the risk of ...

Electrochemically Controlled Proton-Transfer-Catalyzed Reactions at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces: Nucleophilic Substitution on Ferrocene Methanol

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Pekka Eero Peljo

The generation of α-ferrocenyl carbocations from ferrocenyl alcohols for SN1 substitution at the water–organic solvent interface is initiated by the transfer of protons into the organic phase. The proton flux, and hence the reaction rate, can be controlled ...

Floating conductive catalytic nano-rafts at soft interfaces for hydrogen evolution

Hubert Girault, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

Mo2C nanowires and composites of Mo2C nanoparticles formed on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Mo2C/CNT) were developed as advanced catalysts for hydrogen evolution at a polarised water–1,2-dichloroethane interface. Each catalyst acts as a catalytic nano-raft ...

Synthesis of self-pillared zeolite nanosheets by repetitive branching

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Xu Zhang

Hierarchical zeolites are a class of microporous catalysts and adsorbents that also contain mesopores, which allow for fast transport of bulky molecules and thereby enable improved performance in petrochemical and biomass processing. We used repetitive bra ...

Characterization of hot spots in microstructured reactors for fast and exothermic reactions in mixing regime

Albert Renken, John Richard Thome, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Navid Borhani, Bo Jiang, Madhvanand Namadeo Kashid, Julien Haber

The intensification of fast exothermic reactions can be achieved by using microstructured reactors (MSR) which provide improved mass & heat transfer rates leading to higher overall reaction kinetics. But for highly exothermic reactions the heat evacuation ...

Materials science: Cell environments programmed with light

Matthias Lütolf

A combination of two light-induced reactions has been used to attach peptides to a polymeric gel, and then to detach them from it. This feat opens up opportunities for studying the effects of signalling molecules on cell behaviour in vitro. ...

Ethynyl Benziodoxolones for the Direct Alkynylation of Heterocycles: Structural Requirement, Improved Procedure for Pyrroles, and Insights into the Mechanism

Rosario Scopelliti, Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand

This report describes a full study of the gold-catalyzed direct alkynylation of indoles, pyrroles, and thiophenes using alkynyl hypervalent iodine reagents, especially the study of the structural requirements of alkynyl benziodoxolones for an efficient ace ...

Cellular uptake and subcellular distribution of ruthenium-based metallodrugs under clinical investigation versus cisplatin

Paul Joseph Dyson, Olivier Pierre Zava, Michael Groessl

The cellular uptake and subcellular distribution including adduct formation with genomic DNA and uptake into mitochondria of two ruthenium(III)-based drugs in clinical trials, KP1019 and NAMI-A, and cisplatin, was investigated in cisplatin sensitive and re ...

Mixed Quantum Mechanical/Molecular Mechanical (QM/MM) simulations of Adiabatic and Nonadiabatic Ultrafast Phenomena

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Basile Curchod, Thomas James Penfold, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Marilisa Neri, Stefano Vanni, Andrey Laktionov

A thorough theoretical description of ultrafast phenomena that occur in complex systems constitutes a formidable challenge. It not only necessitates the use of quantum mechanical methods that can describe ground and possibly even electronically excited sta ...

Experimental validation of control rod related perturbations of moderator regions in an SCWR-like fuel lattice

Rakesh Chawla

Two different types of perturbations of an SCWR-like fuel lattice have been investigated experimentally in the central test zone of the PROTEUS zero-power research reactor at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. In each case, a campaign of high-reso ...
