Multicomponent reactions enable the synthesis of large molecular libraries from relatively few inputs. This scalability has led to broad adoption these by pharmaceutical industry. Here, we employ four-component Ugi reaction demonstrate that multicomponent can provide a basis for large-scale data storage. Using this combinatorial chemistry encode more than 1.8 million bits art historical images, including Cubist drawing Picasso. Digital is written using robotically synthesized products, and...
Introducing chemical equilibrium concepts in undergraduate general chemistry promotes improved understanding of reactions. We have developed an engaging laboratory experiment exploring the cobalt complexation alcohols using UV–vis spectroscopy and successfully implemented a large class 378 students at Brown University. The octahedral to tetrahedral (pink blue) complex transition generates vivid visualizations, increasing students' interest learning. constants can be measured absorption...
A majority of the electricity currently generated is regrettably lost as heat. Engineering high-efficiency thermoelectric materials which can convert waste heat back into therefore vital for reducing our energy fingerprint. ZT, a dimensionless figure merit, acts beacon promising materials. However, engineering with large ZT values practically challenging, since maximizing requires optimizing many interdependent material properties. Motivated by recent studies on bulk indium selenide that...
