Toward data-driven materials design: From atoms to pilot plants

Discovering new materials is essential but challenging, time-consuming, and expensive. In many cases, simulations can be useful for estimating material properties. For many of the most interesting properties, however, simulations are infeasible because of ...

Photochemical Alkynylations with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos

Over the past twenty years, photochemical transformations have gained in importance in organic chemistry. Indeed, the development of photocatalysts has allowed the use of visible light as an energy source for chemical transformations. More specifically, ph ...

Photoredox-Catalyzed Decarboxylation for the Transfer of Alkynes and Nitriles Using Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Franck Le Vaillant

Aliphatic alkynes and nitriles are privileged motifs in organic chemistry. Therefore, alkynes and nitriles have played a central role for the exploration and development of novel strategies to forge C-C bonds in efficient manner. They are broadly used as v ...

Extrapolating the Fragment-Based Approach to Inorganic Drug Discovery

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor

The fragment-based approach is a well-established strategy for organic drug discovery. Recent studies have shown that this approach also has considerable potential in medicinal inorganic chemistry, and yet the approach has not been formally described. Here ...

Expedited Screening of Active and Regioselective Catalysts for the Hydroformylation Reaction

Matthew Wodrich, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Michael Markus Busch

The discovery of new homogeneous catalysts that preferentially form one product over another in regio- or enantioselective chemical reactions has traditionally been the province of experimental chemists. Today, computational-based approaches have carved an ...

A computer-based prediction platform for the reaction of ozone with organic compounds in aqueous solution: kinetics and mechanisms

Urs von Gunten, Minju Lee, Kathrin Fenner

Ozonation of secondary wastewater effluents can reduce the discharge of micropollutants by transforming their chemical structures. Therefore, a better understanding of the formation of transformation products during ozonation is important. In this study, a ...

Guidelines for Measurement of Luminescence Spectra and Quantum Yields of Inorganic Compounds, Metal Complexes, and Materials

Jean-Claude Bünzli

Guidelines for measuring luminescence of inorganic compounds, metal complexes and organometallic compounds are described. Common textbooks and manuals describing these measurements are usually aimed for physical and/or organic chemists and are not always s ...

Illuminating the chemo-mechanics of hydrogen enhanced fatigue crack growth in aluminum alloys

Derek Warner, Kristopher Learion Baker

The presence of elemental hydrogen is known to accelerate fatigue crack growth in aluminum alloys. However, a direct link between experimental data and the governing atomistic mechanisms has remained elusive. Here we present a series of computational studi ...

Bioorganometallic chemistry-from teaching paradigms to medicinal applications

Paul Joseph Dyson, Christian Hartinger

In undergraduate level organometallic chem. courses students are usually taught that organometallic compds. are toxic and unstable in air and water. While this is true of many complexes, some are also non-toxic and stable in air and water. Indeed, bioorgan ...
