Synthesis and Reactivity of an Anionic Diazoolefin

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Zhaowen Dong, Bastiaan Kooij

Bent (hetero)allenes such as carbodicarbenes and carbodiphosphoranes can act as neutral C-donor ligands, and diverse applications in coordination chemistry have been reported. N-Heterocyclic diazoolefins are heterocumulenes, which can function in a similar ...

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of Inorganic Halide Perovskites

Dominik Józef Kubicki, David Lyndon Emsley, Gabriele Stevanato, Aditya Mishra, Michael Allan Hope

The intrinsic low sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments limits their utility for structure determination of materials. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) under magic angle spinning (MAS) has shown tremendous potential to overcome this ...

A new step forward in realistic cluster lens mass modelling: analysis of Hubble Frontier Field Cluster Abell S1063 from joint lensing, X-ray, and galaxy kinematics data

Johan Richard, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mathilde Jauzac, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Benjamin Emmanuel Nicolas Beauchesne

We present a new method to simultaneously and self-consistently model the mass distribution of galaxy clusters that combines constraints from strong lensing features, X-ray emission, and galaxy kinematics measurements. We are able to successfully decompose ...

Dynamic nuclear polarisation of 1H in Gd-doped In(OH)3

David Lyndon Emsley, Michael Allan Hope, Amrit Venkatesh, Yuxuan Zhang

Dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) of solids doped with high-spin metal ions, such as Gd3+, is a useful strategy to enhance the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensitivity for these samples. Spin diffusion can relay polarisation throughout a sample, which ...

Effect of Mo addition on the mechanical and tribological properties of magnetron sputtered TiN films

Sami Rtimi

Ternary-based titanium nitride (TiN) thin films have drawn attention toward rational applications due to their wear resistance, high hardness, and corrosion resistance. The influence of Mo content on the structural, tribo-logical, and mechanical properties ...

Stable Ta2O5 nanotubes decorated by PbS by the SILAR method for photocatalytic dye degradation

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

Tantalum oxide Ta2O5 nanotubes (NTs) were prepared by electrochemical anodization and were decorated with lead sulfide nanoparticles PbS (NPs) by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction commonly known as the SILAR method. The PbS NPs/Ta2O5 NTs were ...

Bridging Native and Intrinsic Structures of Microhydrated Biomolecules by Cold Ion Spectroscopy

Andrei Zviagin

Solving native structures of such large molecules, like biomolecules, is often challenging, particularly due to the potentially infinite number of non-covalent interactions with water. In this thesis, we report the use of cold ion gas-phase action spectros ...

Beware of beam damage under reaction conditions: X-ray induced photochemical reduction of supported VOx catalysts during in situ XAS experiments

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Anna Zabilska, Olga Safonova

In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful technique for the investigation of heterogeneous catalysts and electrocatalysts. The obtained XAS spectra are usually interpreted from the point of view of the investigated chemical processes, there ...

Electrochemically CO2 conversion using homogeneous and nanostructured heterogeneous Ru (II) electrocatalysts

Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani

The reduction of carbon dioxide to desirable products is an urgent goal in favour of the environment, the energy-cycle and mankind. We report the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to carbon monoxide by means of the ho-mogeneous electrocatalyst (1), [Ru(bpy) ...

Quantifying the Solution Structure of Metal Nanoclusters Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering

Francesco Stellacci, Stefan Guldin, Zhi Luo, Ye Yang, Huayan Yang

Metal nanoclusters are a unique class of synthetic material, as their crystal structures can be resolved using X-ray diffraction, and their chemical formula can be precisely determinated from mass spectroscopy. However, a complete structure characterizatio ...

New methods for structure determination and speciation by NMR crystallography

Martins Balodis

NMR crystallography has been around for half a century, but with the advent of NMR crystal structure determination protocols in the last decade it has shown perspectives that were not seen before. Amalgamation of NMR and crystal structure determination has ...
