A novel molecular-ink deposition route based on thiourea and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) that results in a certified solar cell efficiency world record for non-vacuum deposited CuIn(S,Se)(2) (CIS) absorbers and non-vacuum deposited absorbers with a bandgap ...
The chemistry of aromatic triazenes is well known, and has been explored for more than a century.
These compounds have emerged as very useful intermediates, because of their unique reactivity.
This functionality can notably be used to access many other fun ...
Solvents play a crucial role in many chemical reactions and additives can be used to shift the reaction equilibrium. Herein we study the enthalpy of mixing for selected solvents (aqueous, organic) and basic additives (amines, aqueous KOH) when mixed with f ...
A major challenge in the face of increasing global energy demand is the development of alternative environmentally friendly and renewable energy resources. Hydrogen is an excellent energy carrier, but has drawbacks in storage density and is dangerous to ha ...
The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide into useful products becomes increasingly important as CO2 levels in the atmosphere continue to rise as a consequence of human activities. In this article we describe the direct hydrogenation of CO2 into formic ...
In this work, we show how to obtain efficient dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhanced Cl-35 solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectra at 9.4 T and demonstrate how they can be used to characterize the molecular-level structure of hydrochloride salts of active pha ...
The Pt(ii) -diimine complexes [PtCl2{N-2-(HCNR)(2)}] (R = C6H11, 1; 4-C6H10OH, 2; 4-C6H4CH3, 3; 4-C6H4OH, 4) and [PtCl2{N-2-(CH3CNOH)(2)}] (5) were prepared in 60-81% yields from the 1:1 molar reactions of cis-[PtCl2(DMSO)(2)] with the appropriate -diimine ...
Hydroamidation of olefins constitutes an ideal, atom-efficient method to prepare carboxylic amides from easily available olefins, CO, and amines. So far, aliphatic amines are not suitable for these transformations. Here, we present a ligand- and additive-f ...
We report on seven new anionic benzimidazole-pyridine carboxylate and tetrazolate tridentate (NNO)-N-boolean AND-O-boolean AND and (NNN)-N-boolean AND-N-boolean AND ligands that are modified with chromophore (phenyl, biphenyl, naphthyl) and solubilizing gr ...
A new series of higher generation cationic N,N-chelating, ruthenium(II)-ethylene-glycol metallodendrimers from first-, second-, third- and fourth-generation pyridylimine-based poly(propylene) dendrimer scaffolds of the type, DAB-(NH2) (where n = 4, 8, 16 o ...
