Framework materials have attracted intense interest for gas storage, separations, catalysis, and other applications as a consequence of their periodicity, high specific surface area, and rational synthesis. Cocrystallizi...
The glycopeptide CcTx, isolated from the venom of the piscivorous cone snail Conus consors, belongs to the ?A-family of conopeptides. These toxins elicit excitotoxic responses in the prey by acting on voltage-gated sodiu...
Boronic acids (R-B(OH)2) are a family of molecules that have found a large number of applications in materials science. In contrast, boronate anions (R-B(OH)3-) have hardly been used so far for the preparation of novel m...
An exhaustive experimental study based on X-ray diffraction analysis, NMR, FTIR-ATR (attenuated total reflection), and Raman spectroscopy as well as theoretical calculations is reported in order to understand how the non...
A controlled composition-based methodthat is, the microwave-assisted ethylene glycol (MEG) methodwas successfully developed to prepare bimetallic PtxRu100-x/C nanoparticles (NPs) with different alloy compositions. This s...
A new dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid, jozimine A2 (2), was isolated from the root bark of an Ancistrocladus species from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its absolute stereostructure was determined by chemical, s...
An extensive spectroscopic analysis is presented of an elongated polycondensed dye with a donoracceptor substitution. The charge-transfer (CT) state, polarized along the long molecular axis, is close in energy to a local...
