Design and Synthesis of C4‐Symmetric Axially Chiral β‐Aryl Porphyrins and Application for Supporting Ir(III)‐Catalyzed Enantioselective C−H Alkylation
A hitherto unknown class of C4-symmetric Caryl Cβ (C3, C8, C13, C18) axially chiral porphyrins has been synthesized and the application of their iridium (Ir) complexes in catalytic asymmetric C(sp3) H functionalization is documented. Cyclotetramerization o ...
2024Optimal enzyme utilization suggests that concentrations and thermodynamics determine binding mechanisms and enzyme saturations
Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Daniel Robert Weilandt, Asli Sahin
One of the main challenges hampering the development of kinetic models is the lack of kinetic parameters for many enzymatic reactions. Here, the authors introduce a framework to explore the catalytically optimal operating conditions of any complex enzyme m ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Molecular Volcano Plots: Tools for Rationalizing and Predicting the Performance of Homogeneous Catalysts
The generation of catalyst design tools is important for developing both economically and environmentally friendly reactions. This thesis focuses on the use and development of such a tool, molecular volcano plots, which have the ability to estimate catalyt ...
EPFL2021Atomic Level Insights of Non-Noble Metal Catalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction
The conversion of intermittent renewable energy resources in the form of chemical bond, such as hydrogen production from electrochemical water splitting, is a promising way to satisfy the future global energy demand and address the environmental issues. Th ...
EPFL2021The Genesis of Molecular Volcano Plots
Matthew Wodrich, Michael Markus Busch, Boodsarin Sawatlon
For the past two decades, linear free energy scaling relationships and volcano plots have seen frequent use as computational tools that aid in understanding and predicting the catalytic behavior of heterogeneous and electrocatalysts. Based on Sabatier's pr ...
2021Mechanistic Studies of Two Ni-Catalyzed Reactions: Reductive Amidation of Esters with Nitroarenes and Hydrosilylation of Alkenes
Mechanistic investigations into homogeneously catalyzed reactions are essential for the fur-ther development of synthetic methodologies. Insights in the overall reaction pathway and vital steps such as the rate-determining and selectivity-determining steps ...
