Despite coffee's popularity, there are no quantitative methods to measure a chemical property of coffee and relate it gustatory experience. Borrowing an electrochemical technique often used assess the oxidative reductive features molecules, we demonstrate that cyclic voltammetry can be directly ensemble strength beverage and, separately, how dark has been roasted. We show current passed for protonic precede hydrogen evolution linearly related strength. The same suppressed with subsequent...
Metallophthalocyanine (MPc)-linked conductive two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold tremendous promise as modular 2D materials in sensing, catalysis, and energy-related applications due to their combinatory bimetallic system from the MPc core bridging metal nodes, endowing them with high electrical conductivity multifunctionality. Despite significant advances, there is a gap fundamental understanding regarding periodic effects of nodes on structural properties MPc-linked...
Abstract 2D materials can be isolated as monolayer sheets when interlayer interactions involve weak van der Waals forces. These atomically thin structures enable novel topological physics and open chemical questions of how to tune the structure properties while maintaining them monolayers. Here, this work investigates electroactive that exfoliate in solution into colloidal nanosheets, but aggregate upon oxidation, giving rise tunable charge transfer absorption photoluminescence. This optical...
This paper describes the use of a highly crystalline conductive 2D copper3(hexaiminobenzene)2 (Cu3(HIB)2) as an ultrasensitive (limit detection 1.8 part‐per‐billion), selective, reversible, and low power chemiresistive sensor for nitric oxide (NO) at room temperature. The Cu3(HIB)2‐based sensors retain their sensing performance in presence humidity, exhibit strong signal enhancement towards NO over other toxic reactive gases, such NO2, H2S, SO2, NH3, CO, well CO2. Mechanistic investigations...
In this work, we report the effects of NNS-thiolate ligands and nuclearity (monomer, dimer) on stability iron complexes related to active site monoiron hydrogenase (Hmd). A thermally stable iron(II) dicarbonyl motif is core feature site, but coordination features that lead property have not been independently evaluated for their contributions {Fe(CO)2}2+ stability. As such, non-bulky bulky benzothiazoline (thiolate precursors) were synthesized characterized. The use thiolate low-temperature...
