Classifying donor strengths of dipyrrinato/aza-dipyrrinato ligands
A parameter is reported by which to use 13C NMR chemical shifts to measure and predict the donor capabilities of N^N dipyrrinato and aza-dipyrrinato ligands chelating in L^X fashion. The results enable the rationalisation ... -
A Combinatorial Investigation of Fe-Si-Zn Thin Film Negative Electrodes for Li-ion 1 Batteries (Preprint)
Thin-film Fe-Si-Zn libraries were investigated as negative electrode materials for Li-ion batteries using combinatorial and high-throughput techniques. X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe measurements were used to ... -
A Combinatorial Investigation of Fe-Si-Zn Thin Film Negative Electrodes for Li-ion 2 Batteries (Preprint)
Sodium-ion batteries have the potential to be a low cost, sustainable replacement for lithium-ion batteries in large scale energy storage. The lack of practical negative electrode materials limit the development of Na-ion ... -
Combinatorial Investigations of Ni-Si Negative Electrode Materials for Li-Ion Batteries
Sputtered thin films in the Ni-Si system (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.65 in NixSi1-x) were studied for use as anode materials in Li-ion cells. All compositions were found to be amorphous. The Ni in Ni-Si films was found to suppress the ... -
Combinatorial Study of the Si-Sn-O System as Negative Electrode Materials in Li-Ion Cells
SixSnyO1-x-y films with 0.45 < x < 0.80, 0.05 < y < 0.35, and 0.05 < (1-x-y) < 0.40 have been prepared using a magnetron sputtering method. All compositions had an amorphous structure and good capacity retention. Reversible ... -
Conversion of F-BODIPYs to Cl-BODIPYs: Enhancing the Reactivity of F-BODIPYs
A new method for the synthesis of Cl-BODIPYs from F-BODIPYs is reported, merely requiring treatment of the F-BODIPY with boron trichloride. Cl-BODIPYs are exploited as synthetic intermediates generated in situ for the ... -
Decarboxylative Arylation of Substituted Pyrroles N-protected with 2-(Trimethylsilyl) ethoxymethyl (SEM)
Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative arylation is reported using pyrroles N-protected with the 2-(trimethylsilyl) ethoxymethyl (SEM) group and featuring 2-, 3- and 4-substituents about the pyrrolic framework. In contrast ... -
Density-operator theory of orbital magnetic susceptibility in periodic insulators
The theoretical treatment of homogeneous static magnetic fields in periodic systems is challenging, as the corresponding vector potential breaks the translational invariance of the Hamiltonian. Based on density operators ... -
Designing glass with non-dispersive stress-optic response
The dispersion of the stress-optic response of a series of barium and lead phosphate glasses is measured using an ellipsometric method. It is found that the barium glasses display consistently positive dispersion with ... -
Deuteration and Tautomeric Reactivity of the 1-Methyl Functionality of Free-base Dipyrrins
Regioselective reactivity of the 1-methyl group of free-base dipyrrins is explored, including discussion of tautomerism to provide exocyclic alkenyl reactivity. Deuterium is installed such as to generate dipyrrins substituted ...
