The static and dynamic stereochemistry of unsubstituted d-valerolactone, all monomethylated d-lactones, and all nongeminally dimethylated d-lactones was explored with the B3LYP functional and def2-TZVPP basis set. A sear...
Two new charge-neutral iridium complexes, [Ir(tfm-ppy)2(N,N'-diisopropyl-benzamidinate)] (1) and [Ir(tfm-ppy)2(N,N'-diisopropyl-4-diethylamino-3,5-dimethyl-benzamidinate)] (2) (tfm-ppy=4-trifluoromethyl-2-phenylpyridine)...
Biothiols, such as cysteine (Cys) and homocysteine (Hcy), play very crucial roles in biological systems. Abnormal levels of these biothiols are often associated with many types of diseases. Therefore, the detection of Cy...
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is regarded as one of the key issues in achieving efficient photocatalytic water splitting. Monoclinic scheelite BiVO4 is a visible-light-responsive semiconductor which has proved to b...
The complexes Fn-Tp?4Bo,3R?fAg(L) (Fn-Tp?4Bo,3R?f=a perfluorinated hydrotris(indazolyl) borate ligand; L=acetone or tetrahydrofuran) efficiently catalyze the functionalization of non-activated alkanes such as hexane, 2,3...
Palladium is crucial for industry-related applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, energy production, and hydrogen technologies. In many processes, atomic H and C species are proposed to be present in the surface/ne...
The preparation of a new capped silica mesoporous material, Rh-Azo-S, for on-command delivery applications in the presence of target enzymes is described. The material consists of nanometric mesoporous MCM-41-like suppor...
PeptidylRNA conjugates have various applications in studying the ribosome and enzymes participating in tRNA-dependent pathways such as Fem transferases in peptidoglycan synthesis. Herein a convergent synthesis of peptidy...
A macrocyclic mechanism-based inhibitor for neuraminidases (NAs) bearing a 2-difluoromethylphenyl aglycone and a linker between the aglycone and C-9 positions of sialic acid was synthesized and evaluated. The macrocyclic...
