Catalytic dehydrogenation of ammonia-borane (NH3·BH 3, AB) and dimethylamine borane (NHMe2·BH 3, DMAB) by the PdII complex [(tBuPCP)Pd(H 2O)]PF6 [tBuPCP = 2,6-C6H 3(CH2PtBu2)2] leads to oligomerization and formation of spent fuels of general formula cyclo-[BH 2-NR2]n (n = 2,3; R = H, Me) as reaction byproducts, while one equivalent of H2 is...

Mildly does it: A highly enantioselective catalyst for the hydrogenation of N-aryl imines is described (see scheme). This catalyst offers practical advantages because it operates under very mild conditions and is based on an Ru complex with a diamine as the sole chiral ligand.

The recent development of organic polaritonic solar cells, in which sunlight absorbers and photon modes of a resonator are hybridized as a result of their strong coupling, has revealed the potential this interaction offers to control and enhance the performance of these devices. In this approach, the photovoltaic cell is built in such a way...

Herein, both from the experimental and theoretical point of view, the opticalabsorption properties of a subphthalocyanine (SubPc), an organic macrocyclecommonly used as a sunlight harvester, coupled to metallic optical cavities areanalyzed. How different electronic transitions characteristic of this compoundand specifically those that give rise...
