Fibrous TiO2 Alternatives for Semiconductor-Based Catalysts for Photocatalytic Water Remediation Involving Organic Contaminants (2023)
Journal Article

Water decontamination remains a challenge in several developed and developing countries. Affordable and efficient approaches are needed urgently. In this scenario, heterogeneous photocatalysts appear as one of the most promising alternatives. This ju...

Unravelling synergistic effects in bi-metallic catalysts: deceleration of palladium–gold nanoparticle coarsening in the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde (2023)
Journal Article

In this work, we demonstrate that the synergistic effect of PdAu nanoparticles (NPs) in hydrogenation reactions is not only related to high activity but also to their stability when compared to Pd mono-metallic NPs. To demonstrate this, a series of m...

Why charging Li–air batteries with current low-voltage mediators is slow and singlet oxygen does not explain degradation (2023)
Journal Article

Although Li–air rechargeable batteries offer higher energy densities than lithium-ion batteries, the insulating Li2O2 formed during discharge hinders rapid, efficient re-charging. Redox mediators are used to facilitate Li2O2 oxidation; however, fast...

The Rydberg 3p multiplet structure of the fenchone C band absorption (2023)
Journal Article

The vibrationally structured 3pz Rydberg excitation is identified and assigned in the VUV absorption spectrum of fenchone with an origin at 6.31 eV, below the prominent 6.4 eV C̃ (nominally 3p) band onset. This feature cannot, however, be observed in... Read More about The Rydberg 3p multiplet structure of the fenchone C band absorption.

Discovery of new imidazotetrazinones with potential to overcome tumor resistance (2023)
Journal Article

We describe the design, organic synthesis, and characterization, including X-ray crystallography, of a series of novel analogues of the clinically used antitumor agent temozolomide, together with their in vitro biological evaluation. The work has res... Read More about Discovery of new imidazotetrazinones with potential to overcome tumor resistance.

Coaxial Dielectric Spectroscopy as an In-Line Process Analytical Technique for Reaction Monitoring (2023)
Journal Article

The suitability of broadband dielectric spectroscopy (DS) as a tool for in-line (in situ) reaction monitoring is demonstrated. Using the esterification of 4-nitrophenol as a test-case, we show that multivariate analysis of time-resolved DS data – col...

Homogeneous Carbon Monoxide Homologation (2023)
Book Chapter

The homogeneous activation and homologation of carbon monoxide remains a challenging and highly attractive area of chemical research. This is due in part to the fundamental synthetic interest of using highly reactive complexes, spanning the full brea... Read More about Homogeneous Carbon Monoxide Homologation.

Predicting bioactivity of antibiotic metabolites by molecular docking and dynamics (2023)
Journal Article

Antibiotics enter the environment through waste streams, where they can exert selective pressure for antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. However, many antibiotics are excreted as partly metabolized forms, or can be subject to partial breakdown in w...
