On the Conformation of Dimeric Acceptors and Their Polymer Solar Cells with Efficiency over 18 .
...
Published in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)
The determination of molecular conformations of oligomeric acceptors (OAs) and their impact on molecular packing are crucial for understanding the photovoltaic performance of their resulting polymer solar cells (PSCs) but have not been well studied yet. Herein, we synthesized two dimeric acceptor materials, DIBP3F-Se and DIBP3F-S, which bridged two...
New Multifunctional Bipyrimidine‐Based Chromophores for NLO Active Thin‐Film Preparation.
...
New synthesized bipyrimidine-based chromophores presenting alkoxystyryl donor groups carrying aliphatic achiral and chiral chains in the 4 position, connected to electron-accepting 2,2-bipyrimidine cores have been synthesized. Their linear and nonlinear optical properties were investigated as well as their mesomorphic properties by various techniqu...
Photocatalytic Generation of Divalent Lanthanide Reducing Agents.
Published in Journal of the American Chemical Society
Divalent lanthanide (Ln) compounds are excellent reducing agents with unique reactivity profiles. These reagents are typically used in superstoichiometric amounts, often in combination with harmful additives. Reactions catalytic in Ln(II) reagents that retain the reactivity and selectivity of the stoichiometric transformations are currently lacking...
A Fenton Approach to Aromatic Radical Cations and Diarylmethane Synthesis.
Manipulating carbon-centered radicals to add to electron-deficient systems is a well-precedented process. By coupling the Fe(II)-mediated Fenton reaction with the Fe(III)-mediated single-electron oxidation of anisolic compounds, we demonstrate how electron-rich carbon-centered radicals can react with electron-rich arenes through a radical-polar cas...
Mechanistic Evidence of a Ni(0/II/III) Cycle for Nickel Photoredox Amide Arylation
This work demonstrates the dominance of a Ni(0/II/III) cycle for Ni-photoredox amide arylation, which contrasts with other Ni-photoredox C-heteroatom couplings that operate via Ni(I/III) self-sustained cycles. The kinetic data gathered when using different Ni precatalysts supports an initial Ni(0)-mediated oxidative addition into the aryl bromide. ...
A supramolecular helicate with two independent Fe( ii ) switchable centres and a [Fe(anilate) 3 ] 3− guest
A biphenyl-spaced bis-pyrazolylpyridine ligand interacts with ferrous ions to engender a dimetallic helical coordination cage that encapsulates an Fe3+ tris-anilate complex. The host-guest interaction breaks the symmetry of the Fe2+ centers causing a differential spin crossover behavior in them that can be followed in great detail crystallographica...
Evolution of anthocyanin content during grape ripening and characterization of the phenolic profile of the resulting win...
Abstract: The typical phenolic profile in grapes is characterized by its complexity both in terms of number of diverse chemical structures and their variation during ripening. Besides, the specific phenolic composition of grapes directly influences the presence of those components in the resulting wine. In this contribution, a new method based on t...
Enhanced microbial production of protocatechuate from engineered sorghum using an integrated feedstock-to-product conver...
...
Building a stronger bioeconomy requires production capabilities that are largely generated through microbial genetic engineering. Plant feedstocks can additionally be genetically engineered to generate desirable feedstock traits and provide precursors for direct microbial conversion into desired products. The oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloi...
Physalis Mottle Virus-Like Nanocarriers with Expanded Internal Loading Capacity.
An ongoing challenge in precision medicine is the efficient delivery of therapeutics to tissues/organs of interest. Nanoparticle delivery systems have the potential to overcome traditional limitations of drug and gene delivery through improved pharmacokinetics, tissue targeting, and stability of encapsulated cargo. Physalis mottle virus (PhMV)-like...
