Chiral control of spin-crossover dynamics in Fe (II) complexes

Majed Chergui, Malte Oppermann, Jérôme Lacour

Iron-based spin-crossover complexes hold tremendous promise as multifunctional switches in molecular devices. However, real-world technological applications require the excited high-spin state to be kinetically stable-a feature that has been achieved only ...

Chirok: a post-refinement tool to analyse absolute structure

Philip Pattison

Chirok is software for a post-refinement test of the absolute structure. The software allows a user to calculate a distribution of the measure of chirality based on intensity quotients and linked to the Flack parameter. The distribution is fitted by a set ...

Absolute Structure from Scanning Electron Microscopy

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

The absence of centrosymmetry in chiral and polar crystal structures is the reason for many technical relevant physical properties like optical birefringence or ferroelectricity. Other chirality related properties that are actually intensively investigated ...

Interplay of H-Bonds with Aromatics in Isolated Complexes Identifies Isomeric Carbohydrates

Oleg Boyarkine, Ruslan Yamaletdinov, Vladimir Kopysov, Aleksandr Pereverzev

The tremendous isomeric diversity of carbohydrates enables a wide range of their biological functions but makes the identification and study of these molecules difficult. We investigated the ability of intermolecular interactions to communicate structural ...

Indole Alkaloids, Macrocycles and Heterocycles : Interplay between Methodological Development and Total Synthesis

Cyril Piemontesi

An enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-terengganensine A, a heptacyclic monoterpene indole alkaloid, was performed. A short sequence allowed to obtain the enantio-enriched target in good overall yield. The synthesis featured a key asymmetric transfer h ...

Statistical mechanical model of gas adsorption in porous crystals with dynamic moieties

Berend Smit, Cory Matthew Simon, Efrem Daniel Braun

Some nanoporous, crystalline materials possess dynamic constituents, for example, rotatable moieties. These moieties can undergo a conformation change in response to the adsorption of guest molecules, which qualitatively impacts adsorption behavior. We pos ...

Synthesis and characterization of mixed ligand chiral nanoclusters

Francesco Stellacci, Zekiye Pelin Güven, Kellen Michael Harkness

Chiral mixed ligand silver nanoclusters were synthesized in the presence of a chiral and an achiral ligand. While the chiral ligand led mostly to the formation of nanoparticles, the presence of the achiral ligand drastically increased the yield of nanoclus ...

An Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (−)-Isoschizogamine

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Xu Bao, Zhengren Xu

A concise enantioselective total synthesis of (¢)- isoschizogamine, a complex bridged polycyclic monoterpene indole alkaloid, was accomplished. N-Alkylation of an enantio- enriched imine with an alkyl iodide afforded an iminium salt, which, upon heating by ...
