Organocatalytic Vinyl and Friedel−Crafts Alkylations with Trifluoroborate Salts [PDF]
, 2007 Herein we report the first use of vinyl and heteroaryl trifluoroborate salts as viable substrates for amine-catalyzed conjugate additions. The application of LUMO-lowering iminium catalysis has enabled the highly regio- and enantioselective 1,4-addition ...

Design and fabrication of chemically robust three-dimensional microfluidic valves [PDF]
, 2007 A current problem in microfluidics is that poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), used to fabricate many microfluidic devices, is not compatible with most organic solvents. Fluorinated compounds are more chemically robust than PDMS but, historically, it has been

Predicting and Rationalizing Piezoelectricity in Racemic Bioorganic Molecular Crystals
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Racemic molecular crystals, composed of equal mixtures of chiral enantiomeric components, are predicted to exhibit significant piezoelectric responses and favourable mechanical flexibility. This study identifies organic and bioorganic racemates as promising candidates for sustainable, lead‐free materials, enabling next‐generation applications in energy
