Chiral Cyclic Alkyl Amino Carbene (CAAC) Transition-Metal Complexes: Synthesis, Structural Analysis, and Evaluation in Asymmetric Catalysis

Despite recent advances in the field of cyclic alkyl amino carbenes (CAACs) including a few complementary synthetic strategies affording CAACs with various substitution patterns, the application potential of chiral CAACs to efficiently catalyze asymmetric ...

cell2mol: encoding chemistry to interpret crystallographic data

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Sergio Vela Llausi, Yuri Cho, Rubén Laplaza Solanas

The creation and maintenance of crystallographic data repositories is one of the greatest data-related achievements in chemistry. Platforms such as the Cambridge Structural Database host what is likely the most diverse collection of synthesizable molecules ...

Multi-scale experimental testing on variable stiffness and damping components for semi-active structural control

Gennaro Senatore

This paper presents experimental testing of a new semi-active vibration control device comprising a shape memory polymer (SMP) core that is reinforced by an SMP-aramid composite skin. This control device works as a load-transfer component that can be integ ...

Computational Studies of the Proton-Coupled Metal Ion Transport in the SLC11/NRAMP Family of Transporters

Maria Letizia Merlini

In the last years, it has been demonstrated a link between the overload of metal ions inside nervous system cells and the onset of severe neurodegenerative diseases. This prompted the investigation of the structural and functional properties of transporter ...

Co(III) carboxamide complexes as electrocatalysts for water splitting

Kurt Schenk, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani

Water splitting is a promising approach for storing intermittent renewable energies, such as sunlight in the clean chemical bonds as a hydrogen fuel. Two water-soluble octahedral cobalt (III) complexes, [Co(bpb)(OAc)(H2O)], 1, (bpb(2-) = N,N' -bis[(2-pyrid ...

Visible-light driven water oxidation and oxygen production at soft interfaces

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Jorge Gustavo Uranga, Julieta Soledad Riva, Sara Natalia Moya Betancourt

The visible light driven water oxidation reaction (WOR) by the organic electron acceptor 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyano-quinodimethane (TCNQF(4)) was studied at the water|butyronitrile interface. The WOR was performed at neutral pH, and without any ...

Information-driven transitions in projections of underdamped dynamics

Amos Maritan, Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Low-dimensional representations of underdamped systems often provide useful insights and analytical tractability. Here, we build such representations via information projections, obtaining an optimal model that captures the most information on observed spa ...

Studies of cold chemistry in crossed and merged neutral beams

Silvia Tanteri

In this thesis we present the design of two setups to study low-energy collisions between neutral species: an electron velocity map imaging for chemi-ionisation reactions and a merged electrostatic guide for polar molecules scattering. In the past few yea ...

Catalyzing Bond-Dissociation in Graphene via Alkali-Iodide Molecules

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Sabine Abb, Sven Alexander Szilagyi, Hannah Julia Ochner

Atomic design of a 2D-material such as graphene can be substantially influenced by etching, deliberately induced in a transmission electron microscope. It is achieved primarily by overcoming the threshold energy for defect formation by controlling the kine ...

Study of He/Ne+Ar, Kr, N2, H2, D2 Chemi-Ionization Reactions by Electron Velocity-Map Imaging

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon, Silvia Tanteri

The chemi-ionization of Ar, Kr, N2, H2, and D2 by Ne(3P2) and of Ar, Kr, and N2 by He(3S1) was studied by electron velocity map imaging (e-VMI) in a crossed molecular beam experiment. A curved magnetic hexapole was used to state-select the metastable speci ...

Isolation and characterization of diazoolefins

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Paul Varava, Zhaowen Dong

Diazoolefins tend to be highly reactive compounds that rapidly lose dinitrogen. So far, most experimental evidence for diazoolefins is indirect, via trapping experiments. Here we show that diazoolefins are observed to form in reactions of N-heterocyclic ol ...
