Journal Article
Teixeira, R. I., de Lucas, N. C., Garden, S. J., Lanterna, A. E., & Scaiano, J. C. (2020). Glass wool supported ruthenium complexes: versatile, recyclable heterogeneous photoredox catalysts. Catalysis Science and Technology, 10(5), 1273-1280. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9cy02479d

The present study describes the development of heterogeneous photoredox catalysts based on ruthenium complexes anchored onto a glass surface (glass wool). These easy-to-handle, inexpensive and reusable fiber-like materials allow Ru-based photoredox c...

Electrostatic interactions between spheroidal dielectric particles (2020)
Journal Article
Derbenev, I. N., Filippov, A. V., Stace, A. J., & Besley, E. (2020). Electrostatic interactions between spheroidal dielectric particles. Journal of Chemical Physics, 152(2), Article 024121. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5129756

Theory is developed to address the significant problem of electrostatic interactions between charged polarizable dielectric spheroids. The electrostatic force is defined by particle dimensions and charge, dielectric constants of the interacting parti...

A fungal family of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase-like copper proteins (2020)
Journal Article
Labourel, A., Frandsen, K. E. H., Zhang, F., Brouilly, N., Grisel, S., Haon, M., …Berrin, J.-G. (2020). A fungal family of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase-like copper proteins. Nature Chemical Biology, 16(3), 345–350. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41589-019-0438-8

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-containing enzymes that play a key role in the oxidative degradation of various biopolymers such as cellulose and chitin.
While hunting for new LPMOs, we identified in various fungal lineages... Read More about A fungal family of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase-like copper proteins.

Heteroleptic iron(ii) complexes with naphthoquinone-type ligands (2020)
Journal Article
Shiga, T., Kumamaru, R., Newton, G. N., & Oshio, H. (2020). Heteroleptic iron(ii) complexes with naphthoquinone-type ligands. Dalton Transactions, 49(5), 1485-1491. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9dt03946e

Heteroleptic iron complexes with a naphthoquinone-type ligand, 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-naphtho[2,3-d]imidazole-4,9-dione (HL), were synthesized, and their structures and magnetic properties were investigated. Two spin-crossover complexes, [Fe(L)2(L1)] (1... Read More about Heteroleptic iron(ii) complexes with naphthoquinone-type ligands.

Visible‐Light‐Driven Strain‐Increase Ring Contraction Allows the Synthesis of Cyclobutyl Boronic Esters (2020)
Journal Article
Davenport, R., Silvi, M., Noble, A., Hosni, Z., Fey, N., & Aggarwal, V. K. (2020). Visible‐Light‐Driven Strain‐Increase Ring Contraction Allows the Synthesis of Cyclobutyl Boronic Esters. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 59(16), 6525-6528. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201915409

There are a limited number of ring‐contraction methodologies which convert readily available five‐membered rings into strained four‐membered rings. Here we report a photo‐induced radical‐mediated ring contraction of five‐membered‐ring alkenyl boronat...
