Thermoresponsive carboplatin-releasing prodrugs

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor, Dmitry Vasilyev

Platinum -based anticancer drugs, while potent, are associated with numerous and severe side effects. Hyperthermia therapy is an effective adjuvant in anticancer treatment, however, clinically used platinum drugs have not been optimised for combination wit ...

The Role of Organic Promoters in the Electroreduction of Carbon Dioxide

Paul Joseph Dyson, Dmitry Vasilyev

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) currently attracts considerable attention as a way to make fuels and value-added products from CO2 using renewable energy. Much effort has been devoted to developing efficient electrode materials for ...

A polymeric ionic liquid catalyst for the N-formylation and N-methylation of amines using CO2/PhSiH3

Paul Joseph Dyson, Andreas Züttel, Zhaofu Fei, Serhii Shyshkanov, Kyriakos Stylianou, Arunraj Chidambaram, Aswin Gopakumar, Dmitry Vasilyev

We describe a polymeric ionic liquid (PIL) derived from trimethyl(p-vinylbenzyl)ammonium chloride ([VBTAm]Cl) that efficiently catalyzes the N-formylation of amines employing CO2 and PhSiH3 at room temperature with low catalyst loadings in near-quantitativ ...

Principal Descriptors of Ionic Liquid Co-catalysts for the Electrochemical Reduction of CO2

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Serhii Shyshkanov, Dmitry Vasilyev, Erfan Shirzadi

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) is promoted by ionic liquid (IL) co-catalysts, and several mechanisms have been proposed to explain their role. Due to the complexity of the CO2RR and the limited number of active IL co-catalysts, a conse ...

A General and Facile Approach for the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Inspired by Deep Eutectic Solvents

Paul Joseph Dyson, Dmitry Vasilyev

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were applied to the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Choline-based DESs represent a non-toxic and inexpensive alternative to room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as additives to the system or as electrolyte. F ...

Delineation of the Critical Parameters of Salt Catalysts in the N-Formylation of Amines with CO2

Paul Joseph Dyson, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo, Martin Hulla, Dmitry Vasilyev

N-formylation of amines with CO2 is base-catalyzed and studies of salt catalysts reveal that the reaction is efficiently catalyzed by "free" floating anions of high basicity, as represented in the cover image. More information can be found in the Full Pape ...

Intricacies of Cation-Anion Combinations in Imidazolium Salt-Catalyzed Cycloaddition of CO2 Into Epoxides

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Martin Hulla, Dmitry Vasilyev, Florent Menoud, Sami Manoubi Armand Chamam

The cycloaddition of CO2 into epoxides catalyzed by imidazolium and related salts continues to attract attention due to the industrial importance of the cyclic carbonate products. The mechanism of the imidazolium-catalyzed transformation has been proposed ...

Pyrazolium Ionic Liquid Co-catalysts for the Electroreduction of CO2

Paul Joseph Dyson, Dmitry Vasilyev, Erfan Shirzadi

Pyrazolium ionic liquids (Pz ILs) were employed as co-catalysts for electrochemical conversion of CO2 to CO on a silver disk electrode, leading to a significant decrease in the onset potential for the reduction (ca. 500 mV). The electrochemical conversion ...
