Atomic-Scale Three-Dimensional Local Solvation Structures of Ionic Liquids
Published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters
Room-temperature ionic liquids are promising media for next-generation energy devices because of their various superior characteristics. Because device performance is often dictated by the solvation structures at the solid–liquid interfaces, particularly at the local reactive sites, their atomistic pictures are in great demand. However, there has b...
Menstrual Variation in Experimental Pain: Correlation with Gonadal Hormones
Published in Neuropsychobiology
Background: The results of studies examining the response to experimental pain during the menstrual cycle are conflicting because of differences in the definitions of the menstrual period, outcome measures and types of experimental pain stimulation. So far, there have been only a few studies correlating experimental pain with the levels of gonadal ...
A Quantitatively Accurate Theory To Predict Adsorbed Configurations of Linear Surfactants on Polar Surfaces.
Published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry B
Surfactant molecules are known to adsorb onto polar surfaces in different morphologies. The ability to predict the adsorption morphologies is important for tuning interfacial properties via surfactant adsorption. Linear surfactant molecules may adsorb in a stripe-like configuration (stripes) with their molecular axes parallel to the surface and to ...
Role of Synthesis Method on Luminescence Properties of Europium(II, III) Ions in β-Ca2SiO4: Probing Local Site and Struc...
Published in Inorganic Chemistry
The europium ion probes the symmetry disorder in the crystal structure, although the distortion due to charge compensation in the case of aliovalent dopant remains interesting, especially preparation involves low and high temperatures. This work studies the preparation of the β-Ca2SiO4 (from here on C2S) particle from Pechini (C2SP) and hydrotherma...

Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Naphthols via C-H Activation of Sulfoxonium Ylides.
Published in Organic Letters
Direct and efficient synthesis of 1-naphthols has been realized via Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation of sulfoxonium ylides and subsequent annulation with alkynes, where the sulfoxonium ylide functioned as a new traceless bifunctional directing group. This reaction occurred under redox-neutral conditions with a broad substrate scope.

Synthetic viruses provide a powerful platform to delve deeper into the nature and function of viruses as well as to engineer viruses with novel properties. So far, most synthetic viruses have been RNA viruses (
Iridium(III)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Benzimidazoles via C-H Activation and Amidation of Aniline Derivatives.
Published in Organic Letters
Ir(III)-catalyzed synthesis of benzimidazoles has been realized under redox-neutral conditions by annulation of aniline derivatives with dioxazolones. The reaction proceeded via a C-H activation-amidation-cyclization pathway with a decent substrate scope.
Discovery and Characterization of R/S-N-3-Cyanophenyl-N'-(6-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzo...

A new series of N-aryl-N'-3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-4-yl)ureas bearing an alkoxycarbonylamino group at the 6-position were synthesized and examined as putative anticancer agents targeting sirtuins in glioma cells. On the basis of computational docking combined to in vitro sirtuin 1/2 inhibition assays, we selected compound 18 [R/S-N-...
