Theoretical Study of the Photoisomerization Mechanism of All-Trans-Retinyl Acetate
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2021-09-21)
The compound 9-cis-retinyl acetate (9-cis-RAc) is a precursor to 9-cis-retinal, which has potential application in the treatment of some hereditary diseases of the retina. An attractive synthetic route to 9-cis-RAc is based ...
Photoreactivity of an Exemplary Anthracene Mixture Revealed by NMR Studies, including a Kinetic Approach
(MPDI, 2021-11-05)
Anthracenes are an important class of acenes. They are being utilized more and more often in chemistry and materials sciences, due to their unique rigid molecular structure and photoreactivity. In particular, photodimerization ...
Charging dynamics of electrical double layers inside a cylindrical pore: predicting the effects of arbitrary pore size
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-12-06)
Porous electrodes are found in energy storage devices such as supercapacitors and pseudocapacitors. However, the effect of electrode-pore-size distribution on their energy storage properties remains unclear. Here, we develop ...
Solventless synthesis of nanospinel Ni1−xCoxFe2O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions for efficient electrochemical water splitting and supercapacitance
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-09-20)
The formation of solid solutions represents a robust strategy for modulating the electronic properties and improving the electrochemical performance of spinel ferrites. However, solid solutions have been predominantly ...
Low temperature scalable synthetic approach enabling high bifunctional electrocatalytic performance of NiCo 2 S 4 and CuCo 2 S 4 thiospinels
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-09-24)
Ternary metal sulfides are currently in the spotlight as promising electroactive materials for high-performance energy storage and/or conversion technologies. Extensive research on metal sulfides has indicated that, amongst ...
Synergistically enhanced performance of transition-metal doped Ni2P for supercapacitance and overall water splitting
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-07-31)
Cost-effective and readily available catalysts applicable for electrochemical conversion technologies are highly desired. Herein, we report the synthesis of dithiophosphonate complexes of the type [Ni{S2P(OH)(4-CH3OC6H4)}2] ...
Simulation and Analysis of the Transient Absorption Spectrum of 4-(N,N-Dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN) in Acetonitrile
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2021-09-22)
4-(N,N-Dimethylamino)benzonitrile (DMABN) is a well-known model compound for dual fluorescence—in sufficiently polar solvents, it exhibits two distinct fluorescence emission bands. The interpretation of its transient ...
Ambient-temperature porogen-free method for preparation of silica-based macroporous materials
(Elsevier, 2021-12-01)
The presented work focuses on the synthesis of silica-based macroporous aggregates composed of silica nanoparticles using a template-free method. To improve the mechanical strength of the prepared fractal-like aggregates, ...
Translocation Dynamics of High-Internal Phase Double Emulsions in Narrow Channels
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
We numerically study the translocation dynamics of double emulsion drops with multiple close-packed inner droplets within constrictions. Such liquid architectures, which we refer to as HIPdEs (high-internal phase double ...
Neutral Chiral Tetrakis-Iodo-Triazole Halogen-Bond Donor for Chiral Recognition and Enantioselective Catalysis
(Wiley-VCH GmbH, 2020-11-19)
Halogen bonding represents a powerful tool in the field of noncovalent interactions. However, applications in enantioselective recognition and catalysis remain almost nonexistent, due in part to the distinct features of ...
