Cyclotrimerisation of isocyanates catalysed by low-coordinate Mn(II) and Fe(II) m-terphenyl complexes (2016)
Journal Article

Two- and three-coordinate m-terphenyl complexes of manganese and iron are efficient catalysts for the selective cyclotrimerisation of primary aliphatic isocyanates affording isocyanurates in short reaction times and under mild conditions.

Developing Mn-doped lead sulfide quantum dots for MRI labels (2016)
Journal Article

Magnetic interactions of Mn2+ions in lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals with protons in water are probed by NMR and MRI. A thin layer of capping molecules enables free solvent diffusion to the nanocrystal surface resulting in a decrease of proton relaxa...

Metabolomics of aging assessed in individual parasitoid wasps (2016)
Journal Article

Metabolomics studies of low-biomass organisms, such as small insects, have previously relied on the pooling of biological samples to overcome detection limits, particularly using NMR. We show that the differentiation of metabolite profiles of individ... Read More about Metabolomics of aging assessed in individual parasitoid wasps.

Surface sensing of quantum dots by electron spins (2016)
Journal Article

The nanoscale design of quantum dots (QDs) requires advanced analytical techniques. However, those that are commonly used do not have sufficient sensitivity or spatial resolution. Here, we use magnetic resonance techniques combined with paramagnetic... Read More about Surface sensing of quantum dots by electron spins.

SilE is an intrinsically disordered periplasmic ‘molecular sponge' involved in bacterial silver resistance (2016)
Journal Article

Ag+ resistance was initially found on the Salmonella enetrica serovar Typhimurium multi-resistance plasmid pMG101 from burns patients in 1975. The putative model of Ag+ resistance, encoded by the sil operon from pMG101, involves export of Ag+ via an...
