Due to their eco-sustainability and versatility, organic electrodes are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage in rechargeable aqueous batteries. This is notably the case of hybrid batteries that pair low voltage a zinc anode with high quinone-based (or analogue quinone-based) cathode. However, mechanisms governing charge-discharge cycles remain poorly understood even matter debate controversy. No consensus exists on charge carrier mild electrolytes, especially when working an...

A new methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of quaternary α-substituted amino acids using memory chirality has been developed. The strategy utilizes dynamic axial tertiary aromatic amides to memorize initial an α-amino acid during enolization step. Starting from five different l-amino acids, corresponding oxazolidin-5-ones containing a amide group have synthesized in one step and then alkylated with various electrophiles, good yields enantioselectivities (up 96% up >99% after...

The halogen bond donor properties of iodo-tetrathiafulvalene (I-TTF) can be electrochemically switched and controlled via reversible oxidation in the solution phase. Interestingly activation only one single yielded already a strong selective interaction, quantified by cyclic voltammetry. standard potentials redox couples I-TTF(0/1+) I-TTF(1+/2+) were observed to shift upon addition halides. These anions selectively stabilize cationic I-TTF species through bonding polar liquid electrolytes....

Abstract Herein, a new molecular autocatalytic reaction scheme based on H 2 O ‐mediated deprotection of boronate ester probe into redox cycling compound is described, generating an exponential signal gain in the presence and reducing agent or enzyme. For such purpose, chemosensing probes built around naphthoquinone/naphthohydroquinone redox‐active core, masked by self‐immolative boronic protecting group, were designed. With these probes, typical kinetic traces with characteristic lags phases...

The properties of a surface modified with an ionic liquid self-assembled monolayer (IL-SAM) can be tuned by simply changing the deposition temperature. Mid-IR, SERS, and molecular modelling demonstrated that 1-(12-mercaptododecyl)-3-methylimidazolium bromide (MDMIBr) exhibited crystalline for temperatures below 25 °C. Above °C, aliphatic chain collapsed into disordered conformation. At 40 another phase transition occurs due to imidazolium group tilting parallel surface. Consequently,...
