Decomposition studies of isopropanol in a variable pressure flow reactor
(Oldenbourg Verlag, 2015-04-01)
Alternatives to traditional petroleum derived transportation fuels, particularly alcohols, have been investigated increasingly over the last 5 years. Isopropanol has received little attention despite bridging the gap between ...
Catastrophic thinning of dielectric elastomers
(American Physical Society, 2017-02-15)
We provide an energetic insight into the catastrophic nature of thinning instability in soft electroactive elastomers. This phenomenon is a major obstacle to the development of giant actuators, yet it is neither completely ...
Allylic azide rearrangement in tandem with Huisgen cycloaddition for stereoselective annulation: synthesis of C-Glycosyl iminosugars
(American Chemical Society, 2015-12-09)
Allylic azide rearrangement is used. in,tandem with. intramolecular azide-alkene cycloaddition to give a triazoline that when subsequently decomposed in the presence of a nucleophile gives piperidines. The tandem reaction ...
Mechanochemical tuning of the binaphthyl conformation at the air water interface
(Wiley, 2015-06-12)
Gradual and reversible tuning of the torsion angle of an amphiphilic chiral binaphthyl, from −90° to −80°, was achieved by application of a mechanical force to its molecular monolayer at the air–water interface. This 2D ...
Enhanced photostability of a Ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl Complex under highly oxidizing aqueous conditions by its partial inclusion into a cyclodextrin
(Wiley, 2016-01-08)
The complex [Ru(bpy)2L]2+, where bpy=2,2′-bipyridine, L=4-(phenylethynyl)-2,2′-bipyridine, was prepared in its racemic and resolved forms (Δ and Λ). The phenylethynyl unit on the bipyridine for the complex acts as a binding ...
Recent advances in artificial photosynthetic systems at Newcastle University
(Elsevier, 2016-04-08)
This review covers the most significant research done by the group of scientists working at Newcastle University during the last five years in the area of artificial photosynthesis. In particular, it tackles the aspects ...
Bodipy-ruthenium(II) tris-bipyridyl dyads for homogeneous photochemical oxidations
(Elsevier, 2014-10-28)
Two Bodipy-ruthenium(II) tris-bipyridyl dyads were synthesized for use as sensitizers in photochemical oxidation reactions of organic substrates. The synthetic strategy involved the use of a simple ‘click’ CuAAC reaction ...
Investigation of nanoscale structural alterations of cell nucleus as an early sign of cancer
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background: The cell and tissue structural properties assessed with a conventional bright-field light microscope play a key role in cancer diagnosis, but they sometimes have limited accuracy in detecting early-stage cancers ...
Novel approach for label free super-resolution imaging in far field
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
Progress in the emerging areas of science and technology, such as bio- and nano-technologies,
depends on development of corresponding techniques for imaging and probing the structures with
high resolution. Recently, the ...
Nano-sensitive optical coherence tomography
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)
Depth resolved label-free detection of structural changes with nanoscale sensitivity is an outstanding problem in the biological and physical sciences and has significant applications in both the fundamental research and ...
