Supramolecular Host‐Guest Complexation Dynamics by Cost‐Efficient Electronic Structure Methods

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We present a cost‐effective multilevel workflow for the kinetic profiling of host–guest systems, illustrated with cucurbit[6]uril and alkylammonium cations. The method combines rapid docking and reaction path searches at the semi‐empirical level, with refinement of the results using modern density functional theory, accurately reproducing experiment ...

(2‐Phosphinophenyl)aluminum Dichloride Complexes as Intramolecular Al/P Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Ketone, Ester, and Imine Activation

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Three 2‐phosphinophenylaluminum dichloride complexes were synthesized and characterized as novel intramolecular FLPs. These FLP systems exhibit high Lewis acidity and effectively activate challenging substrates including aliphatic ketones, imines, and esters. DFT analysis revealed that strain release and Al–P dynamics govern their reactivity. Abstract (

Decoupling Redox Potentials and Excited State Energies in Substituted Chromium(III) Chromophores

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Redox and excited state properties of organic and precious metal CT photocatalysts are strongly entangled. In contrast, redox potentials of polypyridine chromium(III) complexes, that feature purely metal‐centered SF states, are selectively tuned by incremental substituent effects of the CF3 group, while excited state energies and lifetimes remain ...

Three‐Step Synthesis Toward Fluorene‐Based Non‐Fused‐Ring Acceptors for Organic Solar Cells

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Applying a simple three step synthesis strategy leads to two fluorene‐based non‐fused‐ring electron acceptors, FHM‐Cl and FHM‐F for organic solar cells. The chlorinated variant delivers markedly higher efficiency due to broader light harvesting and favorable molecular packing, resulting in improved charge transport and reduced recombination losses ...

A Short‐Cut Design Approach to Evaluate Reboiler Designs in Vapor Recompression Scenarios

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
A short‐cut model framework that incorporates mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) requirements into reboiler design is presented, which is particularly beneficial during early process development with limited data or initial feasibility assessments.

Microplastics and nanoplastics in water: Improving removal in wastewater treatment plants with alternative coagulants

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
The contaminant removal performance of a conventional coagulant, alum, and alternative coagulants, aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) and ACH + pDADMC, are compared in challenging wastewater treatment conditions (pH >7.8). The interactions of each coagulant with a negatively charged surface are depicted based on quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation ...

Optimization of a reactor for biostimulant production with emphasis on the economic aspects of hydrolysis

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Biostimulants are increasingly used in agriculture to promote plant growth, improve stress tolerance, and support sustainable farming practices. One common method of production is chemical hydrolysis of protein‐rich waste, such as tannery by‐products, offering an economical and eco‐friendly alternative to conventional raw materials.

Slip versus dilation tendency parameter space as a tool for prospecting structurally controlled geothermal systems in greenfield: insights from the greater Ruhr region

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study highlights that with the static and time‐dependent evolution of slip versus dilation tendency parameter space, structurally controlled deep geothermal systems can be selected within areas of higher permeability and lower seismic hazard. Abstract Faults play a vital role in the Earth's hydraulic system by facilitating fluid flow when dilating

Dynamic response at the terminus of oblique intersecting joints subjected to stress waves

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study derives the propagation equation for stress waves impinging upon nonlinear oblique intersecting joints. It analyzes the dynamic response at the terminus of nonlinear oblique intersecting joints subjected to stress waves. Abstract To investigate the dynamic response at the terminus of oblique intersecting joints subjected to stress waves, a ...

A Review of Grain Boundaries: Formation Mechanism, Synthesis Strategy, and Application in Electrocatalysis

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
An overview of grain boundary engineering in the field of electrocatalysis. ABSTRACT Key electrocatalytic reactions such as HER, OER, ORR, CO2RR, and NRR offer promising routes for storing renewable energy as chemical fuels. However, their widespread application is constrained due to the lack of highly active and stable catalysts. Grain boundaries (GBs)
