Versatile fullerenes as sensor materials
(Elsevier, 2021-04-02)The last century outstanding discovery of fullerenes (or C60), as they are popularly called ‘buckyball’ structured molecules with icosahedral spherical structure, consists of 60 sp2-hybridized carbon atoms. These fullerenes ... -
Lipid melting transitions involve structural redistribution of interfacial water
(American Chemical Society, 2021-11-03)Morphological and gel-to-liquid phase transitions of lipid membranes are generally considered to primarily depend on the structural motifs in the hydrophobic core of the bilayer. Structural changes in the aqueous headgroup ... -
Performance modeling of unmanaged hybrid battery/supercapacitor energy storage systems
(Elsevier, 2021-09-13)Unmanaged hybrid battery/supercapacitor energy storage systems possess higher performance with lower cost and complexity compared to not only individual cells, but also electronically managed hybrid systems. Achieving full ... -
Local electric fields in aqueous electrolytes
(American Chemical Society, 2021-07-27)Vibrational Stark shifts were explored in aqueous solutions of organic molecules with carbonyl- and nitrile-containing constituents. In many cases, the vibrational resonances from these moieties shifted toward lower frequency ... -
Template-directed photochemical homodimerization and heterodimerization reactions of cinnamic acids
(American Chemical Society, 2021-09-01)We developed a general method for the selective photochemical homo- and heterodimerization of cinnamic acid derivatives with the use of commercially available 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene as a covalent template. A variety of ... -
