Characterizing the Effects of a “Switchable Water” Additive on the Aqueous Solubility of Small Molecules

Paul Joseph Dyson, Philip Gregory Jessop, Sarika Burra

“Switchable water” is an aqueous solution containing a water‐soluble amine additive that exhibits CO2‐switchable properties, such as large changes in ionic strength, by forming an ammonium bicarbonate salt. Switchable water has been used to reversibly “sal ...

Solvent effects in catalysis: rational improvements of catalysts via manipulation of solvent interactions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Philip Gregory Jessop

In homogeneous catalysis, the main emphasis on improving catalyst performance (rate, yield and selectivity) is directed towards manipulation of the ligands. The steric and electronic effects of ligands are extremely well understood and the rational design ...

Direct Conversion of Mono- and Polysaccharides into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Using Ionic-Liquid Mixtures

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Zhaofu Fei, Ning Yan, Sviatlana Siankevich, Philip Gregory Jessop

Platform chemicals are usually derived from petrochemical feedstocks. A sustainable alternative commences with lignocellulosic biomass, a renewable feedstock, but one that is highly challenging to process. Ionic liquids (ILs) are able to solubilize biomass ...

A virtual screening approach to identifying the greenest compound for a task: application to switchable-hydrophilicity solvents

Luc Patiny, Philip Gregory Jessop

A virtual or in silico screening approach makes it much easier to identify the molecular structure that best combines efficacy for a specific task with safety and minimum environmental or health impacts. In this approach, software is used to generate a lar ...
