Free volume in ionic liquids: a connection of experimentally accessible observables from PALS and PVT experiments with the molecular structure from XRD data

In the current work, free volume concepts, primarily applied to glass formers in the literature, were transferred to ionic liquids (ILs). A series of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (C4MIM) based ILs was investigated by Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spec ...

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

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

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 ...

A new post-synthetic polymerization strategy makes metal-organic frameworks more stable

Abbas Jamali, Emad Oveisi, Wendy Lee Queen, Mehrdad Asgari, Shuliang Yang, Daniel Teav Sun, Li Peng, Olga Trukhina, Safak Bulut

Metal-organic frameworks are of interest in a number of host-guest applications. However, their weak coordination bonding often leads to instability in aqueous environments, particularly at extreme pH, and hence, is a challenging topic in the field. In thi ...

Efficient cleavage of aryl ether C–O linkages by Rh–Ni and Ru–Ni nanoscale catalysts operating in water

Paul Joseph Dyson, Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Ning Yan, Georgios Savoglidis, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Sviatlana Siankevich, Safak Bulut

Bimetallic Ru–Ni and Rh–Ni nanocatalysts coated with a phase transfer agent efficiently cleave aryl ether C–O linkages in water in the presence of hydrogen. For dimeric substrates with weaker C–O linkages, i.e. α-O-4 and β-O-4 bonds, low loadings of the pr ...

Recent Advances of MOFs and MOF‐Derived Materials in Thermally Driven Organic Transformations

Wendy Lee Queen, Shuliang Yang, Li Peng, Safak Bulut

Owing to the almost boundless structural tunability, MOF and MOF‐derived catalysts have recently exhibited structures of higher complexity, and hence, have demonstrated activity in a wide array of organic transformations. These reactions have a broad range ...
