Innovative computational and graphical tools have been implemented for advancing the crystal structure solution process from powder diffraction data using the EXPO software. These improve the capacity of EXPO to...
In this work it is demonstrated that enantiomerically enriched N-alkyl 2-oxazolinylazetidines undergo exclusive alpha-lithiation, and that the resulting lithiated intermediate is chemically stable but configurationally labile under the given experimental...
An eco-friendly metal-free protocol was developed for the regioselective synthesis of densely functionalized 1,2,3-triazoles through a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of alkanone enolates with azides performed in the environmentally responsible choline...
Commentary is given on a paper [Schlesinger et al. (2022). IUCrJ, 9, 406-424.] reporting on ambiguous structure determination from powder data using four different structural models of 4,11-difluoroquinacridone with similar...
Despite recent advances, the crystal structure solution process from powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data is still a challenging task. In this article, we present case studies of structure solutions using...
The investigation of poly(3-alkylthiophenes) (P3ATs) has gained great attention in the last decades. Here, we present the synthesis, experimental and theoretical study of the novel regioregular poly(3-adamantylmethylthiophene) (PMAT) and poly(3-adamantylethylthiophene)...
Carbon dots (CDs) are novel fluorescent nanoparticles that combine intense emission of visible light with eco-friendly and inexpensive carbon-based composition. In this work, CDs are synthesized trough a glycothermal treatment...
In recent times, the use of personal protective equipment, such as face masks or respirators, is becoming more and more critically important because of common pollution; furthermore, face masks have...
The growing spread of pathogens, caused by anthropogenic activities, pushes the interest of the scientific community towards developing biosensors with improved performance for rapid, simple, and on-site pathogen detection. In...
While stripe phases with broken rotational symmetry of charge density are known to emerge in doped strongly correlated perovskites, the dynamics and heterogeneity of spatial ordering remain elusive. Here we...
