A new pathway for heterogenization of molecular catalysts by non-covalent interactions with carbon nanoreactors (2014)
Journal Article
Schröder, M. (2014). A new pathway for heterogenization of molecular catalysts by non-covalent interactions with carbon nanoreactors. Chemistry of Materials, 26(22), https://doi.org/10.1021/cm502986d

A novel approach to heterogenisation of catalytic molecules is demonstrated using the nanoscale graphitic step-edges inside hollow graphitised carbon nanofibres (GNFs). The presence of the fullerene C60 moiety within a fullerene-salen CuII complex is...

Intramolecular bonds resolved on a semiconductor surface (2014)
Journal Article
Sweetman, A., Jarvis, S. P., Rahe, P., Champness, N. R., Kantorovich, L., & Moriarty, P. (2014). Intramolecular bonds resolved on a semiconductor surface. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 90(16), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.90.165425

Noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) is now routinely capable of obtaining submolecular resolution, readily resolving the carbon backbone structure of planar organic molecules adsorbed on metal substrates. Here we show that the same resolution... Read More about Intramolecular bonds resolved on a semiconductor surface.

Structural chemistry of metal coordination complexes at high pressure (2014)
Journal Article
Schröder, M. (2014). Structural chemistry of metal coordination complexes at high pressure. Coordination Chemistry Reviews, 277, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccr.2014.04.004

The application of pressures of up to about 10 GPa may induce significant geometric, configurational, conformational and packing changes in molecular solids. This review highlights and describes recent advances in high pressure studies of coordinatio... Read More about Structural chemistry of metal coordination complexes at high pressure.
