Photocatalyzed [2σ + 2σ] and [2σ + 2π] Cycloadditions for the Synthesis of Bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes and 5- or 6-Membered Carbocycles

Jérôme Waser, Matthew Wodrich, André Bossonnet

We report the use of photocatalysis for the homolytic ring-opening of carbonyl cyclopropanes. In contrast to previous studies, our approach does not require a metal cocatalyst or a strong reductant. The carbonyl cyclopropanes can be employed for both [2σ + ...

Reduction of PdO/Al2O3 in Liquid Cyclohexane Followed In Situ by ATR-IR, High-Energy XRD, and XAS

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Thibault Xavier Florian Fovanna

Supported Pd-based catalysts used in heterogeneously catalyzed liquid phase processes often undergo an activation step through reduction of the oxide phase or of the oxidic passivation layer prior to reaction. An oxidized Pd/Al2O3 catalyst was reduced by u ...

Plant wax and carbon isotope response to heat and drought in the conifer Juniperus monosperma

Charlotte Grossiord

Plant waxes, including n-alkanes, are commonly used for a wide range of paleo-applications. Several common traits of n-alkanes that are used as paleo-proxies include chain length distribution and average chain length (ACL), as well as plant wax carbon and ...

A numerical approach to characterize the viscoelastic behaviour of fibre beds and to evaluate the influence of strain deviations on viscoelastic parameter extraction

Véronique Michaud, Vincent Werlen, Christian Rytka

The development of a robust material model able to accurately describe fibre bed compaction at different strain and strain rates is highly desirable because it is essential for the simulation of many composite manufacturing processes. In this study, we inv ...

Valorization of biomass derivatives through the conversion of phenol over silica-supported Mo-Re oxide catalysts

Ricardo Javier Serpell Carriquiry

Liquid-phase hydrodeoxygenation of phenol over silica-supported MoOx-ReOx catalysts was investigated at 300 degrees C and 5 MPa of H-2. Mixed-oxides catalysts with similar surface metal density (2.3 atoms of metal per nm(2) of SiO2) but different relative ...

Pronounced grain boundary network evolution in nanocrystalline Cu subjected to large cyclic strains

Thomas La Grange

The grain boundary network of nanocrystalline Cu foils was modified by the application of cyclic loadings and elevated temperatures. Broadly, the changes to the boundary network were directly correlated with the applied temperature and accumulated strain, ...

Silicon Corrosion in Neutral Media: The Influence of Confined Geometries and Crevice Corrosion in Simulated Physiological Solutions

Stefano Mischler, Patrik Schmutz, Roland Hauert, Emilija Ilic

Silicon (Si) based implantable components are widely used to restore functionalities in the human body. However, there have been reported instances of Si corroding after only a few years of implantation. A key parameter often overlooked when assessing Si s ...

Corrosion Mechanisms of Diamond-like Carbon Coated Interlayers & Interfaces

Emilija Ilic

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings can improve the wear resistance of articulating implants. However despite successful in-vitro testing, some DLC coated joint replacements had to be revised prematurely, mainly due to coating delamination induced by corros ...

Freezing effects of oil-in-water emulsions studied by sum-frequency scattering spectroscopy

Sylvie Roke, Nikolay Smolentsev

Temperature-dependent sum-frequency scattering spectroscopy is used to study the properties of hexadecane and dodecane oil droplets in water. The sum-frequency scattering spectra contain vibrational bands that correspond to the symmetric and antisymmetric ...

Excited State Dynamics of Thiophene and Bithiophene: New Insights into Theoretically Challenging Systems

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Basile Curchod, Antonio Prlj

The computational elucidation and proper description of the ultrafast deactivation mechanisms of simple organic electronic units, such as thiophene and its oligomers, is as challenging as it is contentious. A comprehensive excited state dynamics analysis o ...
