NMR spectroscopy of a single mammalian early stage embryo

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Marco Grisi, Gaurasundar Marc Conley, Kyle Joel Rodriguez

The resolving power, chemical sensitivity and non-invasive nature of NMR have made it an established technique for in vivo studies of large organisms both for research and clinical applications. NMR would clearly be beneficial for analysis of entities at t ...

Magnetic Resonance and Hyperpolarization Methods for Perovskite Photovoltaics

Aditya Mishra

Solid-state NMR can provide information about the atomic-level microstructure and dynamics in materials as it directly probes the local nuclear environment. In the last decade, halide perovskites have drawn intense interest because of their intriguing opto ...

New Vinylation and Alkynylation Strategies with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents and Diazo Compounds

Guillaume Dominique Pisella

The development of a sequential copper-catalyzed oxy-alkynylation/intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of allenes and arenes was investigated at first. This one-pot protocol allowed the construction of complex polycylic architectures with high efficiency fro ...

One- and Two-Dimensional High-Resolution NMR from Flat Surfaces

David Lyndon Emsley, Aaron James Rossini, Brennan James Walder

Determining atomic-level characteristics of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces is one of the fundamental challenges in chemistry. High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) could deliver rich structural information, but its application to two-dime ...

New Approaches to NMR Crystallography

Federico Maria Paruzzo

The first full protocol for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) crystallography (NMRX) using chemical shifts was developed a decade ago, and it combines experimental isotropic chemical shifts with crystal structure prediction (CSP) and with the calculation of ...

Chemical exchange at the ferroelectric phase transition of lead germanate revealed by solid state Pb-207 nuclear magnetic resonance

David Lyndon Emsley, Arnaud Magrez, Brennan James Walder, Jasmine Viger-Gravel, Claudia Esther Avalos

The nature of the dynamics and structural changes that take place at the ferroelectric phase transition in lead oxides is a rich field of study. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of Pb-207 is well suited to study the local structure and disorder ...

A Molecular Dual Pump

Cristian Pezzato

Artificial molecular machines (AMMs) built from mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) can use energy ratchets to control the unidirectional motion of their component parts. These energy ratchets are operated by the alteration of kinetic barriers and th ...

Homogeneous Catalytic Formic Acid Dehydrogenation in Aqueous Solution using Ruthenium Arene Phosphine Catalysts

Gabor Laurenczy, Cornel Fink, Lu Chen

In this work, we studied catalytic formic acid dehydrogenation with a homogeneous RAPTA type precatalyst in aqueous solution. The effects of an amino group, attached to the arene, and the impact of a second equivalent of 1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane (P ...
