Carbon Nanotubes as Electrically Active Nanoreactors for Multi-Step Inorganic Synthesis: Sequential Transformations of Molecules to Nanoclusters and Nanoclusters to Nanoribbons (2016)
Journal Article

In organic synthesis, the composition and structure of products are predetermined by the reaction conditions; however, the synthesis of well-defined inorganic nanostructures often presents a significant challenge yielding non-stoichiometric or polymo...

Enantioselective nickel-catalyzed anti-carbometallative cyclizations of alkynyl electrophiles enabled by reversible alkenylnickel E/Z isomerization (2016)
Journal Article

Nickel-catalyzed additions of arylboronic acids to alkynes, followed by enantioselective cyclizations of the alkenylnickel species onto tethered ketones or enones, are reported. These reactions are reliant upon the formal anti-carbonickelation of the...

Enabling the Scale-Up of a Key Asymmetric Hydrogenation Step in the Synthesis of an API Using Continuous Flow Solid-Supported Catalysis (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 American Chemical Society. The development of a continuous flow process for asymmetric hydrogenation with a heterogenized molecular catalyst in a real industrial context is reported. The key asymmetric step in the synthesis of an API (active p...

Improved particle size control for the dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in supercritical carbon dioxide (2016)
Journal Article

Dispersion polymerization is a well-established method of producing polymer particles that are easily handled and processed. With careful choice of reaction conditions this technique can yield well defined, spherical particles for a wide range of app...

Yb3+ doping effects on thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of Yttrium aluminium garnet (2016)
Journal Article

Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (YAG) is an attractive candidate as thermal barrier material used for turbine blade in aero engines, due to its relatively low thermal conductivity, low oxygen diffusivity and good phase stability at high temperature. YAG has... Read More about Yb3+ doping effects on thermal conductivity and thermal expansion of Yttrium aluminium garnet.

Controlled polymerisation and purification of branched poly(lactic acid) surfactants in supercritical carbon dioxide (2016)
Journal Article

Product degradability, sustainability and low-toxicity are driving demand for the synthesis of biobased polymers and surfactants. Here we report the synthesis of novel surface active polymers using cyclic esters (D,L-lactide) and temperature sensitiv...

Effect of supercritical CO2 on the copolymerization behavior of cyclohexene oxide/CO2 and copolymer properties with DMC/salen-Co(III) catalyst system (2016)
Journal Article

The copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) was carried out under supercritical CO2 (scCO2) conditions to afford poly (cyclohexene carbonate)(PCHC) in high yield. The scCO2 provided not only the C1 feedstock but also prov...

Quantum confinement and photoresponsivity of ?-In2Se3 nanosheets grown by physical vapour transport (2016)
Journal Article

We demonstrate that β-In2Se3 layers with thickness ranging from 2.8 – 100 nm can be grown on SiO2/Si, mica and graphite using a physical vapour transport method. The β-In2Se3 layers are chemically stable at room temperature and exhibit a blue-shift o...

Perfluorinated Ligands Induce Meridional Metal Stereochemistry to Generate M8L12, M10L15, and M12L18 Prisms (2016)
Journal Article

FeII4L6 tetrahedral cage 1 undergoes post-assembly modification (PAM) via a Diels–Alder cycloaddition of the anthracene panels of the cage with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE). The modified cage 2 possesses an enclosed cavity suitable for encapsulation of...

Stabilising the lowest energy charge-separated state in a {metal chromophore - fullerene} assembly: a tuneable panchromatic absorbing donor-acceptor triad (2016)
Journal Article

Photoreduction of fullerene and the consequent stabilisation of a charge-separated state in a donor-acceptor assembly have been achieved, overcoming the common problem of a fullerene-based triplet state being an energy sink that prevents charge-separ...
