Experimental measurement and prediction of ionic liquid ionisation energies (2021)
Journal Article
Seymour, J. M., Gousseva, E., Large, A. I., Clarke, C. J., Licence, P., Fogarty, R. M., …Lovelock, K. R. J. (2021). Experimental measurement and prediction of ionic liquid ionisation energies. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 23(37), 20957-20973. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1cp02441h

Ionic liquid (IL) valence electronic structure provides key descriptors for understanding and predicting IL properties. The ionisation energies of 60 ILs are measured and the most readily ionised valence state of each IL (the highest occupied molecul...

Blurring the Boundary between Homogenous and Heterogeneous Catalysis using Palladium Nanoclusters with Dynamic Surfaces (2021)
Journal Article
Cano, I., Weilhard, A., Martin, C., Pinto, J., Lodge, R. W., Santos, A. R., …Fernandes, J. A. (2021). Blurring the Boundary between Homogenous and Heterogeneous Catalysis using Palladium Nanoclusters with Dynamic Surfaces. Nature Communications, 12(1), Article 4965. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25263-6

Using a magnetron sputtering approach that allows size-controlled formation of nanoclusters, we have created palladium nanoclusters that combine the features of both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. Here we report the atomic structures and el... Read More about Blurring the Boundary between Homogenous and Heterogeneous Catalysis using Palladium Nanoclusters with Dynamic Surfaces.

Linking the the thermal and electronic properties of functional dicationic salts with their molecular structures (2021)
Journal Article
Clarke, C. J., Morgan, P. J., Hallett, J. P., & Licence, P. (2021). Linking the the thermal and electronic properties of functional dicationic salts with their molecular structures. ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering, 9(18), 6224-6234. https://doi.org/10.1021/acssuschemeng.0c08564

The two major properties that underpin ionic liquids are tunability and the potential to create task-specific media. Together, these properties allow ionic liquids to surpass the roles long held by traditional molecular solvents. However, at elevated...

With the aim of obtaining thermochromic systems with potential applications in solar energy storage, we evaluated the behavior of some sugar-based ionic liquids (ILs)-Co(NTf2)2 complexes, in IL solution, as a function of temperature. Different struct... Read More about Ionic Liquids-Cobalt(II) Thermochromic Complexes: How the Structure Tunability Affects "self-Contained" Systems.
