A Simple, Transition Metal Catalyst-Free Method for the Design of Complex Organic Building Blocks Used to Construct Porous Metal-Organic Frameworks

Wendy Lee Queen, Jordi Espin Marti, Till Marian Schertenleib, Nazanin Taheri, Ilia Kochetygov, Anita Justin, Jocelyn Richard Roth, Sophia Alessandra Pache

The design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) having large pore sizes and volumes often requires the use of complex organic ligands, currently synthesized using costly and time-consuming palladium-catalyzed coupling chemistry. Thus, in the present work, a ...

Stability and Reactivity of a Polyoxymethylene Dimethyl Ether over Typical Catalysts for Diesel Emission Control

Davide Ferri

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME) produced from methanol are considered as potential substitutes of Diesel fuel. Emissions of formaldehyde and other components have been observed, particularly under cold-start conditions in engine test-bench experimen ...

Diformylxylose as a new polar aprotic solvent produced from renewable biomass

Jeremy Luterbacher, Anastasiia Komarova, Graham Reid Dick

Lignin is a promising candidate for the replacement of fossil-based materials, due to its natural abundance and aromatic structure. This same structure poses major challenges to lignin's exploitation for material development. The harsh conditions generally ...

C-H Bond Activation by an Isolated Dinuclear U(III)/U(IV) Nitride

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic

Synthetic studies of bimetallic uranium nitride complexes with the N(SiMe3)(2) ligand have generated a new nitride complex of U(III), which is highly reactive toward C-H bonds and H-2. Treatment of the previously reported U(IV)/U(IV) nitride complex [Na(DM ...

Functional and Responsive Polymers via Controlled Radical Polymerization

Jian Wang

This Thesis is built around 4 topics, which share in common that they all take advantage of the assets of controlled radical polymerization to either (i) prepare well-defined model systems to address fundamental research questions with regard to the sensit ...

Effect of surface modification of colloidal silica nanoparticles on the rigid amorphous fraction and mechanical properties of amorphous polyurethane-urea-silica nanocomposites

John Christopher Plummer, Nicolas Candau, Oguzhan Oguz, Stéphane Henri Florian Bernhard

Colloidal silica nanoparticles (NPs) modified with eight different silane coupling agents were incorporated into an amorphous poly(tetramethylene oxide)-based polyurethane-urea copolymer matrix at a concentration of 10 wt % (4.4 vol %) in order to investig ...

Protection Group Effects During α,γ-Diol Lignin Stabilization Promote High-Selectivity Monomer Production

Jeremy Luterbacher, Masoud Talebi Amiri, Christopher Marc Hunston, Wu Lan

Protection groups were introduced during biomass pretreatment to stabilize lignin's α,γ-diol group during its extraction and prevent its condensation. Acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde stabilized the α,γ-diol without any aromatic ring alkylation, which sign ...

Aqueous-phase hydrogenation of alkenes and arenes: The growing role of nano scale catalysts

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Ning Yan, Sviatlana Siankevich, Safak Bulut

In this article we highlight some of the recent developments in the aqueous-phase hydrogenation of alkenes and arenes. The traditional types of water-soluble catalysts applied in aqueous media are outlined together with recent trends towards the developmen ...

Massively parallel molecular dynamics simulation of formation of clathrate-hydrate precursors at planar water-methane interfaces: Insights into heterogeneous nucleation

Simone Meloni

The formation of methane-hydrate precursors at large planar water-methane interfaces has been studied using massively parallel molecular dynamics in systems of varying size from around 10 000 to almost 7 x 10(6) molecules. This process took two distinct st ...
