Pivotal Role of the Basic Character of Organic and Salt Catalysts in C-N Bond Forming Reactions of Amines with CO2

Paul Joseph Dyson, Martin Hulla

Organocatalysts promote a range of C-N bond forming reactions of amines with CO2. Herein, we review these reactions and attempt to identify the unifying features of the catalysts that allows them to promote a multitude of seemingly unrelated reactions. Ana ...

DORI Reveals the Influence of Noncovalent Interactions on Covalent Bonding Patterns in Molecular Crystals Under Pressure

Berend Smit, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Benjamin André René Meyer, Senja Dominique Barthel, Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay, Amber Kashan Mace

The study of organic molecular crystals under high pressure provides fundamental insight into crystal packing distortions and reveals mechanisms of phase transitions and the crystallization of polymorphs. These solid-state transformations can be monitored ...

Dimensional crossover in the SU(4) Heisenberg model in the six-dimensional antisymmetric self-conjugate representation revealed by quantum Monte Carlo and linear flavor-wave theory

Frédéric Mila, Francisco Hyunkyu Kim, Karlo Penc

Using linear flavor-wave theory (LFWT) and auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), we investigate the properties of the SU(4) Heisenberg model on the anisotropic square lattice in the fully antisymmetric six-dimensional irreducible representation, a mod ...

Numerical investigation of the mixed-mode failure of snow

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Dominika Mulak

The failure of a weak snow layer underlying a cohesive slab is the primary step in the release process of a dry snow slab avalanche. The complex and heterogeneous microstructure of snow limits our understanding of failure initiation inside the weak layer, ...

Morphology and interfacial strength of nonisothermally fusion bonded hard and soft thermoplastics

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Rajasundar Chandran

Nonisothermally fusion bonded butt joints were prepared by overmolding thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) onto isotactic polypropylene (iPP) inserts in order to investigate the effect of processing conditions on the bond strength and interfacial microstructur ...

Extending the Scope of the Density Overlap Region Indicator

Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay

In this thesis, original applications of the Density Overlap Region Indicator (DORI), a density dependent bonding descriptor capable of simultaneously capturing covalent and noncovalent interactions, are discussed. The use of scalar fields, such as DORI, w ...
