Germanium core-level shifts at Ge/GeO2 interfaces through hybrid functionals

Alfredo Pasquarello, Peter Broqvist, Jan Felix Binder, Hannu-Pekka Komsa

The Ge core-level shift across the Ge/GeO2 interface is determined within semilocal and hybrid density functional schemes. We first assess the accuracy achieved within these theoretical frameworks by comparing calculated and measured core-level shifts for ...

New developments on silyl 2-alkenyl sulfinates and their applications to the asymmetric synthesis of polypropionate fragments

Xiaogen Huang

Sulphur dioxide reacts with 1-oxydienes generating zwitterions which are quenched by enoxysilanes to form substituted silyl alkenylsulfinates. These intermediates are desilylated with Bu4NF and the resulting sulfinates react with MeI giving the correspondi ...
