Taming the radical cation intermediate enabled one-step access to structurally diverse lignans

Jieping Zhu, Cédric Fung, Qiang Wang, Jia-Chen Xiang

Lignans, in spite of their structural diversity, are all biosynthetically derived from coniferyl alcohol. We report herein a divergent synthesis of lignans from biomass-derived monolignols in a short synthetic sequence. Blue LED irradiation of a dichlorome ...

RADCAM-A radiation camera system combining foil bolometers, AXUV diodes, and filtered soft x-ray diodes

Basil Duval, Umar Sheikh, Luke Simons

Measurements of radiated power are critical for characterizing and optimizing tokamak performance. The RADCAM system, comprising arrays of foil bolometers, Absolute eXtreme UltraViolet (AXUV), and filtered soft x-ray diodes, has been constructed to provide ...

Correlating light-induced deep defects and phase segregation in mixed-halide perovskites

Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Christian Michael Wolff, Jakub Holovsky, Peter Joseph Fiala, Xin Yu Chin

Mixed-halide perovskites are highly promising materials for tandem solar cells. The phenomenon of phase segregation, however hinders their application. Here, we combine Fourier-Transform photocurrent spectroscopy with photoluminescence and current density- ...

Synthesis of Quinolines via the Metal-free Visible-Light-Mediated Radical Azidation of Cyclopropenes

Jérôme Waser, Vladyslav Smyrnov, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel

We report the synthesis of quinolines using cyclopropenes and an azidobenziodazolone (ABZ) hypervalent iodine reagent as an azide radical source under visible-light irradiation. Multisubstituted quinoline products were obtained in 34-81% yield. The reactio ...

Satellite-Based Personal UV Dose Estimation

Athanasios Nenes, David Vernez

Epidemiology and public health research relating to solar ultraviolet (UV) exposure usually relies on dosimetry to measure UV doses received by individuals. However, measurement errors affect each dosimetry measurement by unknown amounts, complicating the ...

Radical-free hyperpolarized MRI using endogenously occurring pyruvate analogues and UV-induced nonpersistent radicals

Rolf Gruetter, Andrea Capozzi, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli, Claudia Christina Zanella, Lionel Pierre Arn

It was recently demonstrated that nonpersistent radicals can be generated in frozen solutions of metabolites such as pyruvate by irradiation with UV light, enabling radical-free dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization. Although pyruvate is endogenous, the ...

Developing a UV climatology for public health purposes using satellite data

Athanasios Nenes, David Vernez

The effects of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation on life on Earth differ greatly. While overexposure to UV rays is harmful, small amounts of exposure are necessary for the synthesis of Vitamin D and good health. To optimize individual exposure to solar UV, ...

Evolution and ion kinetics of a XUV-induced nanoplasma in ammonia clusters

Marcel Drabbels, Andrew Daniel Bonnar Clark, Verónica Oliver Álvarez de Lara

High-intensity extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses from a free-electron laser can be used to create a nanoplasma in clusters. In reference Michiels et al (2020 Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 22 7828-34) we investigated the formation of excited states in an XUV-induc ...
