Chemistry - A European Journal, 22(1), 302-309. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201503301

For the first time, a versatile electrolyte bath is described that can be used to electrodeposit a wide range of p-block elements from supercritical difluoromethane (scCH2F2). The bath comprises the tetrabutylammonium chlorometallate complex of the e... Read More about A Versatile Precursor System for Supercritical Fluid Electrodeposition of Main-Group Materials.

A synthetic-dynamic method for water solubility measurements in high pressure CO2 using ATR–FTIR spectroscopy (2015)
Journal Article
Comak, G., Foltran, S., Ke, J., Pérez, E., Sánchez-Vicente, Y., George, M. W., & Poliakoff, M. (2016). A synthetic-dynamic method for water solubility measurements in high pressure CO2 using ATR–FTIR spectroscopy. Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics, 93, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jct.2015.09.024

A new synthetic method for studying phase behaviour is described using Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) spectroscopy. The method has been developed to provide relevant information on the solubility of water in CO2. The dew point of water has been de...

Comparison of rhenium–porphyrin dyads for CO₂ photoreduction: photocatalytic studies and charge separation dynamics studied by time-resolved IR spectroscopy (2015)
Journal Article
Windle, C. D., George, M. W., Perutz, R. N., Summers, P. A., Sun, X. Z., & Whitwood, A. C. (2015). Comparison of rhenium–porphyrin dyads for CO₂ photoreduction: photocatalytic studies and charge separation dynamics studied by time-resolved IR spectroscopy. Chemical Science, 6(12), 6847-6864. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5sc02099a

We report a study of the photocatalytic reduction of CO₂ to CO by zinc porphyrins covalently linked to [ReI(2,2′-bipyridine)(CO)₃L]⁺/⁰ moieties with visible light of wavelength >520 nm. Dyad 1 contains an amide C₆H₄NHC(O) link from porphyrin to bipyr...

Applying green chemistry to the photochemical route to artemisinin (2015)
Journal Article
Amara, Z., Bellamy, J. F. B., Horvath, R., Miller, S. J., Beeby, A., Burgard, A., Rossen, K., Poliakoff, M., & George, M. W. (2015). Applying green chemistry to the photochemical route to artemisinin. Nature Chemistry, 7(6), 489-495. https://doi.org/10.1038/nchem.2261

Artemisinin is an important antimalarial drug but, currently, the environmental and economic costs of its semi-synthetic production are relatively high. Most of these costs originate in the final chemical steps which follow a complex acid- and photo-... Read More about Applying green chemistry to the photochemical route to artemisinin.

Calculating singlet excited states: comparison with fast time-resolved infrared spectroscopy of coumarins (2015)
Journal Article
Hanson-Heine, M. W., Wrigglesworth, A., Uroos, M., Calladine, J. A., Murphy, T. S., Hamilton, M., Clark, I. P., Towrie, M., Dowden, J., Besley, N. A., & George, M. W. (2015). Calculating singlet excited states: comparison with fast time-resolved infrared spectroscopy of coumarins. Journal of Chemical Physics, 142(15), 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4917311

In contrast to the ground state, the calculation of the infrared (IR) spectroscopy of molecular singlet excited states represents a substantial challenge. Here we use the structural IR fingerprint of the singlet excited states of a range of coumarin...
