Organofunctionalized borotungstate Keggin polyoxometalates, (nBu4N)3H[HBW11O39(P(O)Ph)2] (PBW11), (nBu4N)3H[HBW11O39(As(O)Ph)2] (AsBW11), and (nBu4N)4[HBW11O39(PhSiOSiPh)] (SiBW11), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Cyclic voltammetry... Read More about Organofunctionalized borotungstate polyoxometalates as tunable photocatalysts for oxidative dimerization of amines.

Silver(I)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Cuneanes from Cubanes and their Investigation as Isosteres (2023)
Journal Article
Smith, E., Jones, K. D., O’Brien, L., Argent, S. P., Salome, C., Lefebvre, Q., …Lam, H. W. (2023). Silver(I)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Cuneanes from Cubanes and their Investigation as Isosteres. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 145(30), 16365-16373. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3c03207

Bridged or caged polycyclic hydrocarbons have rigid structures that project substituents into precise regions of 3D space, making them attractive as linking groups in materials science and as building blocks for medicinal chemistry. The efficient syn... Read More about Silver(I)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Cuneanes from Cubanes and their Investigation as Isosteres.

Hydroperoxide-Mediated Degradation of Acetonitrile in the Lithium–Air Battery (2023)
Journal Article
McNulty, R. C., Jones, K. D., Holc, C., Jordan, J. W., Bruce, P. G., Walsh, D. A., …Johnson, L. R. (2023). Hydroperoxide-Mediated Degradation of Acetonitrile in the Lithium–Air Battery. Advanced Energy Materials, 13(3), Article 2300579. https://doi.org/10.1002/aenm.202300579

Understanding and eliminating degradation of the electrolyte solution is arguably the major challenge in the development of high energy density lithium–air batteries. The use of acetonitrile provides cycle stability comparable to current state-of-the... Read More about Hydroperoxide-Mediated Degradation of Acetonitrile in the Lithium–Air Battery.
