TinyPol binitroxides provide significantly higher DNP enhancement factors for solid-state NMR spectroscopy at high magnetic fields than today's reference radical AMPUPol.
The development of efficient adsorbent materials capable dual capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and iodine is great importance due to the significant contribution anthropogenic CO2 climate change potential risks associated with nuclear energy sources, such as release radioactive during waste processing accidents. In this study, two nitrogen-rich tetraphenylethylene-functionalized porous organic polymers were prepared via a Schiff-base condensation reaction between...
A novel heterobimetallic tantalum/iridium hydrido complex, [{Ta(CH2tBu)3}{IrH2(Cp*)}] 1, featuring a very short metal-metal bond, has been isolated through an original alkane elimination route from Ta(CHtBu)(CH2tBu)3 and Cp*IrH4. This molecular precursor used to synthesize well-defined silica-supported low-coordinate species [≡SiOTa(CH2tBu)2{IrH2(Cp*)}], 5, [≡SiOTa(CH2tBu)H{IrH2(Cp*)}], 6, using surface organometallic chemistry (SOMC) approach. The SOMC methodology prevents undesired...
Heteronuclear decoupling is an essential element in the solid-state magic-angle spinning (MAS) Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) experiments involving low gamma (γ) nuclei like 13C and 15N coupled to protons. Under constraints of limited (< 100 kHz) maximum radio frequency (RF) amplitude intermediate (30-45 frequencies, imposed by cryogenic DNP setup, typically utilized heteronuclear schemes TPPM SPINAL-64 suffer from near rotary-resonance recoupling (R3). Here, we demonstrate...

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are widely used ligands in transition metal catalysis. Notably, they increasingly encountered heterogeneous systems.

Dynamic nuclear polarization can improve the sensitivity of magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR experiments by 1-2 orders magnitude. In aqueous media, are usually performed using so-called DNP juice, a glycerol-d8/D2O/H2O mixture (60/30/10, v/v/v) that form homogeneous glass at cryogenic temperatures. This acts as cryoprotectant and prevents phase separation paramagnetic polarizing agents (PAs) added to provide source electron spin required for DNP. Here, we show relatively high 1H...

Abstract Over the past decade, halogenated semiconducting polymers have attracted considerable interest due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties. Thus, in most of today's organic photovoltaic devices benchmark semiconductors are materials, either electron donor or non‐fullerene acceptor (NFA) small molecules. However, nature and position substituted halogen atoms impact, through self‐assembly modification, properties a way that is difficult predict. Yet, solid‐state self‐assembling...
The catalytic activity of multifunctional microporous materials is directly linked to the spatial arrangement their struc-tural building blocks. Despite great achievements in design and use isolated sites within such materials, precise determination atomic-level structure local environment still remains a fundamental chal-lenge, especially when they are hosted non-crystalline solids. Here, we show that by combining NMR measurements with pair distribution function (PDF) analysis computational...
