Regiodivergent Cyclobutanone Cleavage: Switching Selectivity with Different Lewis Acids

Nicolai Cramer, Laetitia Marie Mélanie Souillart

The exploitation of strain release in small rings as driving force to enable complex transformations is a powerful synthetic tool. Among them, cyclobutanones are particularly versatile substrates that can be elaborated in a wide variety of structurally div ...

Catalysis at room temperature ionic liquid|water interface: H2O2 generation

Hubert Girault, Gunther Wittstock

H2O2 is produced at the interface between a room-temperature ionic liquid with decamethylferrocene as electron donor and an acidic aqueous solution. The electron donor can be regenerated electrochemically. ...

Optical properties of anthocyanins in the gas phase

The gas-phase optical properties of the six most common anthocyanins are studied using time-dependent density-functional theory. Different anthocyanins are classified into three groups, according to the number of low-frequency peaks displayed in the UV-vis ...

A Simple Liquid-Liquid Biphasic System for Hydrogen Peroxide Generation

Hubert Girault, Gunther Wittstock

Although electron transfer reactions at liquid liquid interfaces have been thoroughly studied in the presence of deliberately added potential determining ions or phase transfer catalysts, little is known about these reactions in the absence of the above sp ...

The Role of Quantum Effects on Structural and Electronic Fluctuations in Neat and Charged Water

Michele Ceriotti, Federico Giberti, Michele Parrinello

In this work, we revisit the role of nuclear quantum effects on the structural and electronic properties of the excess proton in bulk liquid water using advanced molecular dynamics techniques. The hydronium ion is known to be a weak acceptor of a hydrogen ...

Homogeneous Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Formic Acid: Progress Towards a Hydrogen-Based Economy

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy

One of the limiting factors to a hydrogen-based economy is associated with the problems storing hydrogen. Many different approaches are under evaluation and the optimum approach will not be the same for all applications, i.e., static, mobile, small and lar ...

Low-cost industrially available molybdenum boride and carbide as “platinum-like” catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction in biphasic liquid systems

Hubert Girault, Xile Hu, Kurt Schenk, Heron Vrubel, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Véronique Amstutz

Rarely reported low-cost molybdenum boride and carbide microparticles, both of which are available in abundant quantities due to their widespread use in industry, adsorb at aqueous acid–1,2-dichloroethane interfaces and efficiently catalyse the hydrogen ev ...

Classical and non-classical phosphine-Ru(ii)-hydrides in aqueous solutions: many, various, and useful

Gabor Laurenczy

Hydrogenation of the water-soluble [{RuCl2(mtppms)(2)}(2)] (mtppms = monosulfonated triphenylphosphine) was studied in aqueous solutions in the presence of excess mtppms both with H-2 and with aqueous HCOONa. Depending on the reductant, the pH and H-2 pres ...

Amino-functionalized macroporous silica for efficient tryptic digestion in acidic solutions

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Jingjing Wan

Amino-functionalized macroporous silica foam (NH2-MOSF) has been developed as a host reactor to realize highly efficient proteolysis in acidic solutions where normal tryptic reactions cannot occur. The digestion protocol consists simply of adding the funct ...

Solution-Controlled Dissolution of Supplementary Cementitious Material Glasses at pH 13: The Effect of Solution Composition on Glass Dissolution Rates

Ruben Anton Snellings

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are widely used to partially replace portland clinker in blended cements. Reducing clinker contents further without compromising the development of early strength necessitates a better assessment and enhancement ...
