Magnetic catalysis and inverse catalysis for heavy pions [PDF]
, 2019 We investigate the QCD phase diagram for nonzero background magnetic fields using first-principles lattice simulations. At the physical point (in terms of quark masses), the thermodynamics of this system is controlled by two opposing effects: magnetic catalysis (enhancement of the quark condensate) at low temperature and inverse magnetic catalysis ...

Renaissance of pyridine-oxazolines as chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis.
Chemical Society Reviews, 2018 Oxazoline-containing ligands have been widely employed in numerous asymmetric catalytic reactions. Pyridine-oxazoline-type ligands, a class of hybrid ligands, were designed earlier than bisoxazoline and phosphine-oxazoline ligands; however, their unique ...

Molybdenum-catalyzed enantioselective sulfoxidation controlled by a nonclassical hydrogen bond between coordinated chiral imidazolium-based dicarboxylate and peroxido ligands [PDF]
, 2018 Chiral alkyl aryl sulfoxides were obtained by molybdenum-catalyzed oxidation of alkyl aryl sulfides with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant in mild conditions with high yields and moderate enantioselectivities.

Boosting Polysulfide Conversion on Fe‐Doped Nickel Diselenide Toward Robust Lithium–Sulfur Batteries
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work reports an advanced functional material based on Fe‐doped nickel diselenides toward robust lithium–sulfur batteries, demonstrating that Fe‐rich cores and surface doping enhance the density of states at the Fermi level and introduce unpaired electrons for the improvement of the LiPS adsorption and catalytic conversion. Abstract Sulfur offers a

Organocatalytic atroposelective construction of axially chiral arylquinones
Nature Communications, 2019 Axially chiral compounds have widespread use in asymmetric catalysis. Here, the authors disclose a highly enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral o-naphthoquinones by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis and central-to-axial chirality conversion.

Morphological instability of core-shell metallic nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2013 Bimetallic nanoparticles (often known as nanoalloys) with core-shell arrangement are of special interest in several applications, such as in optics, catalysis, magnetism and biomedicine. Despite wide interest in applications, the physical factors stabilizing the structures of these nanoparticles are still unclear to a great extent, especially for what ...

Structural and spectroscopic characterisation of C4 oxygenates relevant to structure/activity relationships of the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyls [PDF]
, 2016 In the present work, we have investigated the conformational isomerism and calculated the vibrational spectra of the C4 oxygenates: 3-butyne-2-one, 3-butene-2-one, 2-butanone and 2-butanol using density functional theory.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.HKUST‐1/TiO2 composite materials show a very high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate which increases as a function of the irradiation time until reaching a plateau and even surpasses the performance of the 1%Pt/TiO2 material after three photocatalytic cycles.
