A facile route to bespoke macro- and mesoporous block copolymer microparticles (2018)
Journal Article

We report a facile and versatile strategy for the bespoke fabrication of macro- and mesoporous block copolymer microparticles. A clean synthetic route, RAFT dispersion polymerisation in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2), is used to generate block...

Boosting self‐assembly diversity in the solid‐state by chiral/non‐chiral ZnII‐porphyrin crystallization (2018)
Journal Article

This work bases on the solid‐state study of a chiral ZnII‐porphyrin derivative (5,10,15,20‐tetra[(4‐R,R,R,R)‐methyl‐2‐phenoxy‐propanoate, 1) building block and its achiral analogous (2). Here, foreseen the rich molecular recognition of the designed m... Read More about Boosting self‐assembly diversity in the solid‐state by chiral/non‐chiral ZnII‐porphyrin crystallization.

Reversible adsorption of nitrogen dioxide within a robust porous metal–organic framework (2018)
Journal Article

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a major air pollutant causing significant environmental and health problems. We report reversible adsorption of NO2 in a robust metal–organic framework. Under ambient conditions, MFM-300(Al) exhibits a reversible NO2 isother... Read More about Reversible adsorption of nitrogen dioxide within a robust porous metal–organic framework.

Effects of symmetry, methyl groups and serendipity on intramolecular vibrational energy dispersal (2018)
Journal Article

We consider two key parameters that have been proposed to be important for vibrational energy delocalization, closely related to intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR), in molecules. These parameters are the symmetry of the molecule, and the... Read More about Effects of symmetry, methyl groups and serendipity on intramolecular vibrational energy dispersal.

Electrostatic interactions between charged dielectric particles in an electrolyte solution: constant potential boundary conditions (2018)
Journal Article

The problem of electrostatic interactions between colloidal particles in an electrolyte solution has been solved within the Debye–Hückel approximation using the boundary condition of constant potential. The model has been validated in two independent... Read More about Electrostatic interactions between charged dielectric particles in an electrolyte solution: constant potential boundary conditions.

Sulfonimidates: useful synthetic intermediates for sulfoximine synthesis via C–S bond formation (2018)
Journal Article

An integral equation approach to calculate electrostatic interactions in many-body dielectric systems (2018)
Journal Article

In this article, a numerical method to compute the electrostatic interaction energy and forces between many dielectric particles is presented. The computational method is based on a Galerkin approximation of an integral equation formulation, which is...

A simple flash carbonization route for conversion of biomass to porous carbons with high CO2 storage capacity (2018)
Journal Article

This work offers a new, and simpler, method for the carbonisation of biomass that involves flash carbonisation of biomass at relatively low temperature (< 400 o C). We successfully converted the biomass precursor (eucalyptus sawdust) to carbonaceous...

Self-sustaining closed-loop multienzyme mediated conversion of amines into alcohols in continuous reactions (2018)
Journal Article

The synthesis of alcohols from amines starting material is an excellent, yet challenging, strategy for the preparation of pharmaceuticals and polymers. Here, we developed a versatile, self-sustaining closed-loop multienzymatic platform for the biocat...
