Investigating Tetrel-Based Neutral Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Hydrogen Activation

Shubhajit Das

Tetrel Lewis acids are a prospective alternative to commonly employed neutral boranes in frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry. While cationic tetrylium Lewis acids, being isolobal and iso(valence)electronic, are a natural replacement to boranes, neutral t ...

Cluster Catalysis with Lattice Oxygen: Tracing Oxygen Transport from a Magnetite (001) Support onto Small Pt Clusters

Wolfgang Harbich, Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni, Ke Zhang

Oxidation catalysis on reducible oxide-supported small metal clusters often involves lattice oxygen. The present work aims at differentiating whether the reaction takes place at the cluster/support interface or on the cluster. To that purpose, we trace the ...

Synthetic methodologies for C-C and C-N bond formation involving alkyl radicals

Guido Barzanò

C-C and C-N bonds are some of the most common structures in molecules ranging from drugs to catalysts and to food additives. Many coupling reactions were developed to form these types of bonds with excellent selectivity and good performance. Still, the syn ...

Microwave-Cavity-Detected Spin Blockade in a Few-Electron Double Quantum Dot

Pasquale Scarlino

We investigate spin states of few electrons in a double quantum dot by coupling them to a magnetic field resilient NbTiN microwave resonator. The electric field of the resonator couples to the electric dipole moment of the charge states in the double dot. ...

Photoinduced disinfection in sunlit natural waters: Measurement of the second order inactivation rate constants between E-coli and photogenerated transient species

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Jean Arnaud Troyon

This work uncovers the implications of the estimation of exogenous inactivation rates for E. coli after the initial lag phase, and presents a strategy for the determination of the second-order inactivation rate constants (k2nd) of these bacteria with relev ...
