ESG Assurance and Dividends: Evidence From 18 Countries in Africa

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) assurance on a firm's dividend payout policies within the unique African context. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences (DiD) model, this study examines how voluntary third‐party assurance of ESG reports influences firms' dividend payout policies compared to ...

Guidelines for Scale Development and Validation

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scales, serving as measurement instruments composed of carefully designed items intended to capture latent constructs, play a critical role in advancing consumer theory and marketing practice. Yet, developing and validating scales poses a formidable challenge due to the diverse methods required to ensure rigor and robustness.

Hole‐Selective Self‐Assembled Monolayers Overlaid on NiOx or PEDOT:PSS for Tin‐Based Perovskite Solar Cells – An Overview of Recent Characterization Methods

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Successfully applying self‐assembled monolayers with hole‐selectivity for lead‐free tin perovskite solar cells requires judicious investigation with appropriately powerful characterization methods, in addition to efforts in the development of new materials and processing.

Next Generation Hosts for Protein Recognition, Assembly and More

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The original design of synthetic receptors for proteins was based on macrocycles with a hydrophobic core and a polar/charged periphery. This design, geared towards protein recognition, facilitates receptor self‐assembly. Macrocycle oligomerization, in turn, contributes to protein assembly as evidenced in many cocrystal structures.

Multiple Dimerization Modes in Thiocarboxylate Paddlewheel Complexes: A Comprehensive View of Energy Landscapes from DFT Calculations and Statistics

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Staggered, square, and heavily bent dimers occur in the five known solvatomorphs of paddlewheel (PW) complex [PtVO(SOCPh)4]. These and other structural motifs are well within energetic reach due to the shallow potential energy surface that guides dimerization and are included in a revised classification of available structural data on heterobimetallic ...
