Carbon monoxide is a key C1 feedstock for the industrial production of hydrocarbons, where it is used to make millions of tonnes of chemicals, fuels, and solvents per annum. Many transition metal complexes can coordinate CO2 but the formation of new... Read More about Selective reduction and homologation of carbon monoxide by organometallic iron complexes.

Auger electron angular distributions following excitation or ionization of the I 3d level in methyl iodide (2018)

We provide a consistent set of interaction energy curves for the Group 2 (IIA) and Group 12 (IIB) metal cation/rare gas complexes, M+-RG, where M+= Be+–Ra+ and Zn+–Hg+; and RG = He–Rn. We report spectroscopic constants derived from these, compare the... Read More about Hybridization and covalency in the Group 2 and Group 12 metal cation/rare gas complexes.

The EDIBLES survey III. C2-DIBs and their profiles (2018)
Journal Article

Context. An unambiguous identification of the carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) would provide important clues to the life cycle of interstellar matter. The so-called C2-DIBs are a class of very weak bands that fall in the blue part of... Read More about The EDIBLES survey III. C2-DIBs and their profiles.

Pore-filling contamination in metal–organic frameworks (2018)
