The Dai Group published their collaborative research “Formation of three-dimensional bicontinuous structures via molten salt dealloying studied in real-time by in situ synchrotron X-ray nano-tomography” in Nature Communications. Three-dimensional bicontinuous porous materials formed by dealloying contribute significantly to various applications including catalysis, sensor development and energy storage. This work studies a method of molten salt dealloying via real-time in situ synchrotron three-dimensional X-ray nano-tomography. The Dai Group also published their work “Room temperature synthesis of high-entropy Prussian blue analogues” in Nano Energy and “Overcoming the phase separation within high-entropy metal carbide by poly(ionic liquid)s†” in Chemical Communications. |

The Jenkins Group published their work “Imidazolinium N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands for Enhanced Stability on Gold Surfaces” in Langmuir. This work explores the preparation and stability of NHC-coated gold surfaces using imidazolium and imidazolinium NHC ligands. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy demonstrate the attachment of NHC ligands to the gold surface and show enhanced stability of imidazolinium compared to the traditional imidazolium under harsh acidic conditions. |
|
The Campagna lab published their work “Comparative Decomposition of Humans and Pigs: Soil Biogeochemistry, Microbial Activity and Metabolomic Profiles” and also “Enterococcus faecalis Readily Adapts Membrane Phospholipid Composition to Environmental and Genetic Perturbation” in Frontiers In Microbiology. |
|
|
The Vogiatzis Group published their research “Redox states of dinitrogen coordinated to a molybdenum atom” in The Journal of Chemical Physics, “Computational catalysis for metal-organic frameworks: An overview” in Coordination Chemistry Reviews, “A Carbodiimide-Mediated P-C Bond-Forming Reaction: Mild Amidoalkylation of P-Nucleophiles by Boc-Aminals” in Organic Letters shares the first example of a carbodiimide-mediated P–C bond-forming reaction, and Inorganic Chemistry published their work “Electrocatalytic Dechlorination of Dichloromethane in Water Using a Heterogenized Molecular Copper Complex.” |
|
|
The Sokolov Group recently published their work “Anomalously high elastic modulus of a poly(ethylene oxide)-based composite electrolyte” in Energy Storage Materials and “Turning Rubber into a Glass: Mechanical Reinforcement by Microphase Separation” was published in ACS Macro Letters. |
|
|
|
The Bailey Lab published in The Conversion for their article “Oil companies are going all-in on petrochemicals – and green chemistry needs help to compete.” The Bailey Lab also published “Site Directed Mutagenesis of Modular Polketide Synthase Ketoreductase Domains for Altered Stereochemical Control” in ChemBioChem. |

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are an emerging class of mixtures characterized by significant depressions in melting points compared to those of the neat constituent components. These materials are promising for applications as inexpensive “designer” solvents exhibiting a host of tunable physicochemical properties. Mark Dadmun contributed to this collaborative piece “Deep Eutectic Solvents: A Review of Fundamentals and Applications” in Chemical Reviews. |
|
|
The Heberle Lab published their research “Dataset of asymmetric giant unilamellar vesicles prepared via hemifusion: Observation of anti-alignment of domains and modulated phases in asymmetric bilayers” in Data in Brief and “Investigation of the domain line tension in asymmetric vesicles prepared via hemifusion” Biochimica et Biophysica Acta Biomembranes. |
