The development of this new methodology will aid in the semiquantitative control analysis of ALOs and offers an improved ability to identify the components therein.Solvated soft matter, both biological and synthetic, can now be imaged in liquids using liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM). However, such systems are usually composed solely of organic molecules (low Z elements) producing low contrast in TEM, especially within thick liquid films. We aimed to visualize liposomes by LCTEM rather than requiring cryogenic TEM (cryoTEM). This is achieved here by imaging in the presence of aqueous metal salt solutions. The increase in scattering cross-section by the cation gives a staining effect that develops in situ, which could be captured by real space TEM and verified by in situ energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). We identified beam-induced staining as a time-dependent process that enhances contrast to otherwise low contrast materials. We describe the development of this imaging method and identify conditions leading to exceptionally low electron doses for morphology visualization of unilamellar vesicles before beam-induced damage propagates.The electronic structures of V-intercalated TiSe2 and substitutionally doped dichalcogenides Ti1-xVxSe2 have been studied using soft X-ray photoelectron, resonant photoelectron, and absorption spectroscopies. In the case of the substitution of Ti by V, the formation of coherently oriented structural fragments VSe2 and TiSe2 is observed and a small charge transfer between these fragments is found. Intercalation of the V atoms into TiSe2 leads to charge transfer from the V atoms to the Ti atoms with the formation of covalent complexes Ti-Se3-V-Se3-Ti.Three metal-organic frameworks with the general formula Co(BPZX) (BPZX2- = 3-X-4,4'-bipyrazolate, X = H, NH2, NO2) constructed with ligands having different functional groups on the same skeleton have been employed as heterogeneous catalysts for aerobic liquid-phase oxidation of cumene with O2 as oxidant. O2 adsorption isotherms collected at pO2 = 1 atm and T = 195 and 273 K have cast light on the relative affinity of these catalysts for dioxygen. The highest gas uptake at 195 K is found for Co(BPZ) (3.2 mmol/g (10.1 wt % O2)), in line with its highest BET specific surface area (926 m2/g) in comparison with those of Co(BPZNH2) (317 m2/g) and Co(BPZNO2) (645 m2/g). The O2 isosteric heat of adsorption (Qst) trend follows the order Co(BPZ) > Co(BPZNH2) > Co(BPZNO2). Interestingly, the selectivity in the cumene oxidation products was found to be dependent on the tag present in the catalyst linker while cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) is the main product obtained with Co(BPZ) (84% selectivity to CHP after 7 h, pO2 = 4 bar, and T = 363 K), further oxidation to 2-phenyl-2-propanol (PP) is observed in the presence of Co(BPZNH2) as the catalyst (69% selectivity to PP under the same experimental conditions).We reveal a unique mechanism by which pure water can be dissociated to form free radicals without requiring catalysts, electrolytes, or electrode contact by means of high-frequency nanometer-amplitude electromechanical surface vibrations in the form of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) generated on a piezoelectric substrate. The physical undulations associated with these mechanical waves, in concert with the evanescent electric field arising from the piezoelectric coupling, constitute half-wavelength "nanoelectrochemical cells" in which liquid is trapped within the SAW potential minima with vertical dimensions defined by the wave amplitude (∼10 nm), thereby forming highly confined polarized regions with intense electric field strengths that enable the breakdown of water. The ions and free radicals that are generated rapidly electromigrate under the high field intensity in addition to being convectively transported away from the cells by the bulk liquid recirculation generated by the acoustic excitation, thereby overcoming mass transport limitations that lead to ion recombination.Theoretical models aimed at describing magic-angle-spinning (MAS) dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) NMR typically face a trade-off between the scientific rigor obtained with a strict quantum mechanical description, and the need for using realistically large spin systems, for instance using phenomenological models. Thus far, neither approach has accurately reproduced experimental results, let alone achieved the generality required to act as a reliable predictive tool. Here, we show that the use of aggressive state-space restrictions and an optimization strategy allows full-scale ab initio MAS-DNP simulations of spin systems containing thousands of nuclei. Our simulations are the first ever to achieve quantitative reproduction of experimental DNP enhancements and their MAS rate dependence for both frozen solutions and solid materials. They also revealed the importance of a previously unrecognized structural feature found in some polarizing agents that helps minimize the sensitivity losses imposed by the spin diffusion barrier.We herein report a versatile, regio- and enantioselective palladium-catalyzed tandem allylic substitution powered by a chiral bisphosphorus ligand WingPhos with the palladium loading as low as 0.1 mol %, forming a series of chiral vinyl-substituted heterocycles, including tetrahydroquinoxalines, piperazines, dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]-oxazines, and morpholines, in exellent ee's and yields. ONO7475 The protocol features readily available starting materials, mild reaction conditions, and a broad substrate scope. Mechanistic investigation supports a tandem allylic substitution process.We report a novel blue LED mediated intramolecular C-H functionalization of tryptamine derivatives to generate azepino[4, 5-b]indoles (4) in moderate to good yields. By altering the substitution at the tryptamine nitrogen, intramolecular cyclopropanation is achieved in high yields under the same reactions condition to provide natural product inspired polycyclic indoles (6), which are further transformed to spiropiperidino (5 and 8) indoles in decent yields. The mechanism of formation of the compounds was investigated through DFT studies.
