Remote C(sp(3))-H Arylation and Vinylation of N-Alkoxypyridinium Salts to delta-Aryl and delta-Vinyl Alcohols

The reaction of readily available and bench-stable N-alkoxypyridinium salts with arylboronic and vinylboronic acids afforded delta-aryl and delta-vinyl alcohols, respectively, in the presence of fac-Ir(ppy)(3) and Cu(OTf)(2) dual catalysts. The reaction ta ...

Discovery of a Highly Active Catalyst for Hydrogenolysis of C-O Bonds via Systematic, Multi-metallic Catalyst Screening

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ning Yan, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Sviatlana Siankevich

Hydrogenolysis of C-O bonds is a highly challenging reaction with the most efficient catalysts based on bimetallic assemblies. Systematic studies to identify the optimum metal combination have not been performed and, therefore, we designed a method to scre ...

Alignment of energy levels in amorphous oxides and at semiconductor-water interfaces

Zhendong Guo

We conduct a detailed investigation of defects in two representative amorphous oxides: amorphous Al2O3 (am-Al2O3) and TiO2 (am-TiO2), by combining ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and hybrid functional calculations. Our results indicate that o ...

Enhanced transformation of sulfonamide antibiotics by manganese(IV) oxide in the presence of model humic constituents

Urs von Gunten, Jun Ma, Yang Song, Jin Jiang, Yang Zhou

In this study, a manganese(IV) oxide-mediator (MnO2-mediator) system for the abatement of sulfonamide antibiotics was evaluated. Two simple model humic constituents, syringaldehyde (SA) and acetosyringone (AS), could promote the transformation of sulfonami ...

Exploitation of Unconventional Electrophiles in Enantioselective Pd(0)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalizations

Daria Grosheva

Asymmetric metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization has enjoyed great success as a powerful strategy for the rapid construction of elaborate structures from simple precursors. For example, aryl (pseudo)halides have been extensively employed as electrophilic s ...

Enhanced Electron-Phonon Interaction in Multivalley Materials

Helmuth Berger, Nicola Marzari, Evgeniy Ponomarev, Marco Gibertini, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation that reveals a new mechanism responsible for the enhancement of electron-phonon coupling in doped semiconductors in which multiple inequivalent valleys are simultaneously populated. Using Rama ...

Boosting the performance of Cu2O photocathodes for unassisted solar water splitting devices

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Amita Ummadisingu, Matthew Thomas Mayer, Jingshan Luo, Minkyu Son, Linfeng Pan, Jinhyun Kim

Although large research efforts have been devoted to photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting in the past several decades, the lack of efficient, stable and Earth-abundant photoelectrodes remains a bottleneck for practical application. Here, we report a ...

Photoluminescent, upconversion luminescent and nonlinear optical metal-organic frameworks: From fundamental photophysics to potential applications

Fatmah Ebrahim, Kyriakos Stylianou, Ngoc Tú Nguyên

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials prepared by the self-assembly of metal ions or clusters with organic ligands. The unique characteristics of MOFs, including structural tunability, high surface areas, low densities and tailore ...
