Galactofuranose in mycobacteria and nematodes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
All cells are covered in a coat of carbohydrates. These sugars participate in many important processes and are often essential for viability. Polysaccharides assembled by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens contain ...
Reductive transformations of nitroarenes catalyzed by P(III)/P(V)=O redox cycling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Nitroaromatics are widely available synthetic building blocks which present a strategical opportunity to serve as direct precursors to nitrogen-containing molecules of increasing complexity and worth through reductive/de ...
Interactions of Kr(F₂), O₂, and (O₂)₂ with Si(100)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
The high reactivity of XeF₂ with fluorinated Si is proposed to arise from localized vibrational excitation of the Si lattice as a result of the multiple collisions required to reverse the momentum of the heavier XeF₂ ...
Capture and control of excitations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Fundamental understanding of the capture and control of excitations, including photons and excitons, in optoelectronic devices is important to optimizing their performance. Devices such as luminescent solar concentrators ...
Development and applications of copper(I) hydride catalysis in asymmetric reactions and heterocycle synthesis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Chapter 2. Enantioselective CuH-Catalyzed Hydroacylation Employing Unsaturated Carboxylic Acids as Aldehyde Surrogates The direct asymmetric copper hydride (CuH)-catalyzed coupling of [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated carboxylic ...
New reactions and reagents for phosphorus-carbon bond-formation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Chapter 1 takes the format of an "Outlook", and sets forth the case for developing sustainable methods in the synthesis of phosphorus-containing compounds. Methods used by nature for phosphorus-carbon bond-formation, or ...
Assessing and improving the regulatory compliance and end-of-life environmental impacts of lead-based thin-film photovoltaics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Emerging thin film photovoltaics (PVs) with photoactive layers based on quantum dots (QDs) and perovskites are a promising source of low-carbon renewable energy. Their solution-processability and compatibility with flexible ...
Methane mono-oxidation electrocatalysis by palladium and platinum salts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Selective oxidation of methane to methanol would enable better utilization of natural gas resources. Many homogeneous metal ions activate methane under mild conditions, but turning this reactivity into catalysis requires ...
Through-bond and through-space charge transport in metal-organic frameworks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) combine intrinsic porosity with efficient charge transport, opening up possibilities as active materials for applications ranging from electrocatalysis to chemiresistive ...
Design and application of polymer metal-organic cage gels
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Chapter 1. A unifying overview of the fundamentals of polymer network synthesis, structure, and properties is provided, tying together recent trends in the field that are not always associated with classical polymer networks, ...
