Selective reactions that combine H2, CO and organic electrophiles (aldehyde, ketones, isocyanide) to form hydrogenated C3 and C4 carbon chains are reported. These reactions proceed by CO homologation mediated by…
Colorimetric sensing has been widely used for centuries across diverse fields, thanks to easy operation with no electricity and uncompromised high sensitivity. However, the limited number of chromogenic systems hampers…
Modification of functional groups attached to conjugated polymer backbones can drastically alter the material properties. Oxidation of electron-donating thioalkyl substituents to electron-withdrawing sulfoxides or sulfones {is a|is really a|is actually…
Electrochemical ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) is promising as an alternative anodicreaction to oxygen evolution in water electrolysis system. Herein, we develop a microkinetic model based on density functional theory (DFT)…
Sporopollenin is a mechanically robust and chemically inert biopolymer that constitutes the outer protective exine layer of plant spores and pollen grains. Recent investigation of the molecular structure of pine…
Through molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate how single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) assembled via transient linkages in water can remodel in organic solvent. Methacrylate-based random heteropolymers (RHPs) have shown promise in an…
