Reactions of polyaromatic molecules in crystals under electron beam of the transmission electron microscope (2022)
Journal Article
Fung, K. L., Weare, B. L., Fay, M. W., Argent, S. P., & Khlobystov, A. N. (2023). Reactions of polyaromatic molecules in crystals under electron beam of the transmission electron microscope. Micron, 165, Article 103395. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.micron.2022.103395

Reactivity of a series of related molecules under the 80 keV electron beam have been investigated and correlated with their structures and chemical composition. Hydrogenated and halogenated derivatives of hexaazatrinaphthylene, coronene, and phthaloc...

Catalysis enabled synthesis, structures, and reactivities of fluorinated S8-corona[n]arenes (n = 8–12) (2022)
Journal Article
Turley, A. T., Hanson-Heine, M. W. D., Argent, S. P., Hu, Y., Jones, T. A., Fay, M., & Woodward, S. (2023). Catalysis enabled synthesis, structures, and reactivities of fluorinated S8-corona[n]arenes (n = 8–12). Chemical Science, 14(1), 70-77. https://doi.org/10.1039/d2sc05348a

Previously inaccessible large S8-corona[n]arene macrocycles (n = 8-12) with alternating aryl and 1,4-C6F4 subunits are easily prepared on up to gram scales, without the need for chromatography (up to 45% yield, 10 different examples) through new high...

Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution over micro and mesoporous cobalt metal-organic frameworks (2022)
Journal Article
Iqbal, B., Laybourn, A., O'Shea, J. N., Argent, S. P., & Zaheer, M. (2022). Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution over micro and mesoporous cobalt metal-organic frameworks. Molecular Catalysis, 531, Article 112711. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mcat.2022.112711

The development of water electrolysis devices is crucial for the sustainable production of green hydrogen fuel. However, the slow kinetics and high overpotential are key shortfalls for hydrogen production during the half-cell hydrogen evolution react...

Controlling multiple orderings in metal thiocyanate molecular perovskites Ax{Ni[Bi(SCN)6]} (2021)
Journal Article
Lee, J. Y., Ling, S., Argent, S., Senn, M., Cañadillas-Delgado, L., & Cliffe, M. (2021). Controlling multiple orderings in metal thiocyanate molecular perovskites Ax{Ni[Bi(SCN)6]}. Chemical Science, 12(10), 3516-3525. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0sc06619b

We report four new A-site vacancy ordered thiocyanate double double perovskites, A1–x{Ni[Bi(SCN)6](1–x)/3}, A = K+, NH4+, CH3(NH3)+ (MeNH3+) and C(NH2)3+ (Gua+), including the first examples of thiocyanate perovskites containing organic A-site cation...
