Dynamic Molecular Cocrystals with Alkyl Chain Dependent Thermosalient Phase Transitions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A series of cocrystals containing 5‐fluorocytosine and fatty acids with varying alkyl chain lengths are synthesized, demonstrating a systematic modulation of thermosalient phase transition temperatures across a broad range (≈100 K). This study reveals a linear correlation between interlayer hydrophobic interactions and transition temperatures, offering

OIL VOLATILITY-OF-VOLATILITY AND TAIL RISK OF COMMODITIES

Applied Finance Letters
We examine the information content of oil volatility-of-volatility (VOV), constructed from the past 1-month OVX (implied volatility in crude oil market), on the expected tail risk of commodities. Specifically, we find oil VOV predicts 1-step-ahead tail risks of Energy, Precious Metals, Agriculture, Livestock sectors and the Aggregate Commodity sector ...
