We report the chemoselective copper-catalyzed acylsilylation of vinyl arenes using bench-stable silylboronates and acyl fluorides, which enables efficient access to β-silyl ketones under mild conditions. The reaction proceeds without the…
Europe’s quantum startups fear a bureaucratic European Union (EU) administration will take too long to implement its strategy to become a global leader in the emerging technology, while reticent native…
Developing novel, cost-effective hole-transporting materials (HTMs) with tailored chemical/electronic properties is critical for high-performance, stable planar perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we design three HTMs based on a di-trifluoromethyl-substituted phenoxazine…
The modulation of chirality has been a subject of scientific research for past decades due to its broad and impactful applications in drug discovery, catalysis, and biotechnology. However, the control…
The 14th Computer Weekly list of the 50 Most Influential Women in UK Technology is now open for voting, giving readers an opportunity to express who they feel deserves…
How can you tell if a sorbent material will be good for any gas separation process – without having to do detailed simulations of the full process? We present new…
Biocatalysis represents an invaluable tool for developing more sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. However, the optimisation of these complex transformations remains challenging when using traditional methods. Recent advances in the field…
Microsoft has been accused of abusing its market position by stifling the sale of second-hand copies of its Windows operating system and Office suite, in a long-running battle over…
In contrast to well-studied 4d6 and 5d6 transition metal complexes such as the modern-day drosophila of photochemistry, Ru(II)-tris(bipyridine), which often feature a typical triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer emission in the…
Contactless payment limits could be increased beyond £100 and even become unlimited under the latest Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consultation. According to the finance regulator’s latest announcement, card providers…
