Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Developments in the Chemistry of Cubic Polyhedral Oligosilsesquioxanes
TL;DR: Heteronuclear NMR Studies, NMR and EPR Spectroscopies, and Vibrational Spectra of POSS Compounds 2136 3.9.1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoporous Carbohydrate Metal–Organic Frameworks
Ross S. Forgan,Ronald A. Smaldone,Jeremiah J. Gassensmith,Hiroyasu Furukawa,David B. Cordes,Qiaowei Li,Christopher E. Wilmer,Youssry Y. Botros,Youssry Y. Botros,Randall Q. Snurr,Alexandra M. Z. Slawin,J. Fraser Stoddart +11 more
TL;DR: These new MOFs demonstrate that the CDs can indeed function as ligands for alkali and alkaline earth metal cations in a manner similar to that found with crown ethers, which make them realistic candidates for commercial development.
Journal ArticleDOI
What can NMR spectroscopy of selenoureas and phosphinidenes teach us about the π-accepting abilities of N-heterocyclic carbenes?
Sai V. C. Vummaleti,David J. Nelson,Albert Poater,Adrián Gómez-Suárez,David B. Cordes,Alexandra M. Z. Slawin,Steven P. Nolan,Luigi Cavallo +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the link between the shielding of the selenium center and the electronic properties of the NHCs was explored, and it was shown that dSe is correlated to the energy gap between a filled lone pair orbital on Se and the empty p* orbital corresponding to the Se-NHC bond.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Highly Active Manganese Catalyst for Enantioselective Ketone and Ester Hydrogenation
Magnus B. Widegren,Gavin J. Harkness,Alexandra M. Z. Slawin,David B. Cordes,Matthew L. Clarke +4 more
TL;DR: A new hydrogenation catalyst based on a manganese complex of a chiral P,N,N ligand has been found to be especially active for the hydrogenation of esters down to 0.1 mol % catalyst loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced model compounds for understanding acid catalyzed lignin depolymerization: identification of renewable aromatics and a lignin-derived solvent
Ciaran W. Lahive,Peter J. Deuss,Christopher S. Lancefield,Zhuohua Sun,David B. Cordes,Claire M. Young,Fanny Tran,Alexandra M. Z. Slawin,Johannes G. de Vries,Paul C. J. Kamer,Nicholas J. Westwood,Katalin Barta +11 more
TL;DR: A new class of advanced (β-O-4)-(β-5) dilinkage models that are highly realistic representations of a lignin fragment are presented that allow for identification of novel reaction pathways and intermediates and led to the characterization of new dimeric products in subsequent lignIn depolymerization studies.
