Copper-catalyzed borylative coupling of vinylazaarenes and N-Boc imines (2016)
Journal Article

Cu-catalyzed three-component couplings of vinylazaarenes, B2(pin)2, and N-Boc imines are described. Oxidation of the initially formed boronate gives azaarene-containing, Boc-protected amino alcohols with reasonable to good diastereoselectivities.

Synthesis of triazole-linked morpholino oligonucleotides via Cu1 catalysed cycloaddition (2016)
Journal Article

Triazole-linked morpholino (TLMO) oligonucleic acids were synthesised using the CuI catalysed (3 + 2) azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. The modified DNA analogues were incorporated into 13-mer sequences via solid phase synthesis. UV meltin...

PP1 initiates the dephosphorylation of MASTL, triggering mitotic exit and bistability in human cells (2016)
Journal Article

Entry into mitosis is driven by the phosphorylation of thousands of substrates, under the master control of Cdk1. During entry into mitosis, Cdk1, in collaboration with MASTL kinase, represses the activity of the major mitotic protein phosphatases, P...

Synthesis of quaternary aryl phosphonium salts: photoredox-mediated phosphine arylation (2016)
Journal Article

We report a synthesis method for the construction of quaternary aryl phoshonium salts at ambient temperature. The regiospecific reaction invovles the coupling of phosphines with aryl radicals derived from diaryliodonium salts under photoredox conditi...

A Breathing Zirconium Metal-Organic Framework with Reversible Loss of Crystallinity by Correlated Nanodomain Formation (2016)
Journal Article

The isoreticular analogue of the metal–organic framework UiO‐66(Zr), synthesized with the flexible trans‐1,4‐cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid as linker, shows a peculiar breathing behavior by reversibly losing long‐range crystalline order upon evacuation...

Understanding anionic Chugaev elimination in pericyclic tetracene formation (2016)
Journal Article

The reaction pathway for the formation of tetracenes from the diols 1,2-C6H4(CHOHC?CAr)2 , LiHDMS, CS2 and MeI has been modelled by computational methods at the CBS-QB3 level of theory. Comparison of PhCHOC(=S)YCCPh (Y = S- or SMe) indicates a sligh... Read More about Understanding anionic Chugaev elimination in pericyclic tetracene formation.

Mechanisms of monovacancy diffusion in graphene (2016)
Journal Article

A comprehensive investigation of monovacancy diffusion in graphene has been carried out with the use of density functional theory and the climbing image nudged elastic band method. An out-of-plane spiro structure is found for the first-order saddle p... Read More about Mechanisms of monovacancy diffusion in graphene.

Consistent assignment of the vibrations of symmetric and asymmetric para-disubstituted benzene molecules (2016)
Journal Article

We give a description of the phenyl-ring-localized vibrational modes of the ground states of the para-disubstituted benzene molecules including both symmetric and asymmetric cases. In line with others, we quickly conclude that the use of Wilson mode... Read More about Consistent assignment of the vibrations of symmetric and asymmetric para-disubstituted benzene molecules.

An ARXPS and ERXPS study of quaternary ammonium and phosphonium ionic liquids: utilising a high energy Ag Lα’ X-ray source (2016)
Journal Article

Introduction Ionic liquid (IL) surface science has experienced rapid expansion in recent years. As such, a multitude of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) techniques have been used to probe the IL/vacuum interface including laboratory and synchrotron X-ray p...
