Latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) plays a crucial role in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)'s ability to establish latency and is involved in developing and progressing EBV-associated cancers. Additionally, EBV-infected cells affect the immune responses, making it challenging for the immune system to eliminate them. Due to the aforementioned reasons, it is c...
Desymmetrization of meso diols is an important strategy for the synthesis of chiral oxygen-containing building blocks. Oxidative desymmetrization is an important subclass, but existing methods are often constrained by the need for activated alcohol substrates. We disclose a conceptually distinct strategy toward oxidative diol desymmetrization that ...
Static catalysis using neutral and cationic Al(III) complexes, in which the oxidation state of the metal does not change, can be applied to a range of catalytic bond-forming reactions which have similar characteristics to transition metal analogues. This short review (although not intended to be comprehensive) highlights the current state of develo...
Melt alloying, the process of melting a physical powder blend to create a homogeneous alloy, is widely used in materials processing. By carefully selecting the materials and their proportions, the physical properties of the resulting alloy can be precisely controlled. In this study, we investigate the possibility of utilizing melt alloying principl...
The assembly of molecules to form covalent networks can create varied lattice structures with physical and chemical properties distinct from those of conventional atomic lattices. Using the smallest stable [5,6]fullerene units as building blocks, various 2D C24 networks can be formed with superior stability and strength compared to the recently syn...
Halide perovskite photovoltaics (PVs) are poised to become a critical high-efficiency renewable energy technology in the fight against climate change. This perspective aims to ensure the viability of perovskite PV as a sustainable technology by focusing on key areas such as end-of-life management and sustainability analysis. It highlights the curre...
Managing iodine formation is crucial for realising efficient and stable perovskite photovoltaics. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is a widely adopted hole transport material, particularly for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, Improving the performance and stability of PEDOT:PSS based perovskite optoelectroni...
The closed-shell Hückel-London-Pople-McWeeny formalism for ring currents is extended to Aufbau configurations with open shells calculated as configurational averages. The method is applied to the non-Kekulean benzenoid known as the Clar goblet, recently synthesized on the Au(111) surface. Multiplicity of the ground state is a complication: for the ...
Bismuth halide perovskite crystals have garnered a lot of interest lately because of their superior optoelectronic qualities, affordability, and ease of processing.
Perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged as a potential solution-processible technology that can offer efficient light emission with high color purity. Here, we explore the device physics of perovskite LEDs using simple analytical and drift-diffusion modeling, aiming to understand how the distribution of electric field, carrier densitie...
