Investigations on the Pi Distortivity Problem and On the Use of Single Atom Thick Layers as Filters
It has traditionally been believed that pi-electrons stabilize the D6h structure of benzene. However, this was questioned both using theoretical arguments, as well as circumstantial, experimental evidence. The theoretical ... -
Itaconate-based Periodically Grafted Polyesters
(2017-12-03)Block copolymers can self-assemble into a variety of periodic nanostructures and therefore, are promising candidates for a diverse range of applications. While self-assembly of block copolymers has been widely studied and ... -
Mapping The Reaction Coordinate For The Oxidative Addition Of Molecular Hydrogen To A Metal Center
(2010-07-15)The binding of molecular hydrogen to a metal center leads to the elongation of the H−H bond and subsequently to its cleavage along the reaction coordinate for the oxidative addition of H2. There has been considerable ... -
Materials For Hydrogen Generation, Storage, And Catalysis
(2013-01-22)Hydrogen, nature’s simple and the most abundant element has been in the limelight for the past few decades from the stand point of the so-called hydrogen economy. With a high calorific value (142 MJ/kg) that is three times ... -
Mechanistic Insights Into Small Molecule (Amine-Boranes, Hydrogen, Methane, Formic Acid Carbon dioxide) Activation Using Electrophilic Ru(II)-Complexes
(2017-11-09)Current fossil fuels (Coal and Petroleum) based economy is not sustainable in the long run because of its dwindling resources, and increasing concerns of climate change due to excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. To ... -
