Nonlinear Light Scattering and Spectroscopy of Particles and Droplets in Liquids

Nano -and microparticles have optical, structural, and chemical properties that differ from both their building blocks and the bulk materials themselves. These different physical and chemical properties are induced by the high surface-to-volume ratio. As a ...

Biphasic water splitting by osmocene

Hubert Girault, Xile Hu, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Heron Vrubel, Peiyu Ge, Imren Hatay

The photochemical reactivity of osmocene in a biphasic water-organic solvent system has been investigated to probe its water splitting properties. The photoreduction of aqueous protons to hydrogen under anaerobic conditions induced by osmocene dissolved in ...

Acid-Induced Degradation of Phosphorescent Dopants for OLEDs and Its Application to the Synthesis of Tris-heteroleptic Iridium(III) Bis-cyclometalated Complexes

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

Investigations of blue phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on [Ir(2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine)(2)(picolinate)] (FIrPic) have pointed to the cleavage of the picolinate as a possible reason for device instability. We reproduced the ...

A Practical, One-Pot Multicomponent Synthesis of α-Amidosulfides and Their Application as Latent N-Acylimines in the Friedel-Crafts Reaction

Jieping Zhu, Nicolas George

A novel one-pot, three-component synthesis of N-acyl or N-carbamoyl-alpha-amidosulfides 4 is described. The three-component reaction of aldehydes 1, primary carbamates (or amides) 2 and phenylsulfinic acid (6a) afforded alpha-amidosulfones 7, which after a ...

Dispersion-Corrected Energy Decomposition Analysis for Intermolecular Interactions Based on the BLW and dDXDM Methods

Wei Wu

As the simplest variant of the valence bond (VB) theory, the block-localized wave function (BLW) method defines the intermediate electron-localized state self-consistently at the DFT level and can be used to explore the nature of intermolecular interaction ...

Direct Alkynylation of Thiophenes: Cooperative Activation of TIPS–EBX with Gold and Brønsted Acids

Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand

United we stand! Cooperative activation of the hypervalent-iodine reagent TIPS-EBX with a gold catalyst and a Brønsted acid allowed the first direct ethynylation of thiophenes at room temperature (see scheme; TFA=trifluoroacetic acid). The obtained ethynyl ...
