A quinone based single-molecule switch as building block for molecular electronics
(2021-01-04) - Journal articleUsing a model molecule, we show that it is possible to create molecules that show the required properties for use as elements in a molecular circuit or computer: two conformations with similar energy but different electric ... -
Luxury, mystification, and oppressive power in d'Holbach's philosophical writings
(2020-06-17) - Journal articleLuxury is one of the main polemic targets of Baron d’Holbach. It brings one to run after imaginary needs they cannot fulfill, dooming them to live an unhappy, grim life. This critical view of luxury is no news and was ... -
Reactivity of nickel metal precursors towards amido linked N-heterocyclic carbenes and their catalytic studies for cross coupling reactions
(2020-05-01) - Journal articleThe refluxing of chloroacetamide derivatives with n-butyl imidazole resulted in their corresponding salt of composition 1-(n-butyl)-3-N-(2-Ar)acetamido-1, 3-imidazolium chloride (Ar = furylmethyl (1a); phenylmethyl (1b)). ... -
Infrared observations of the flaring maser source G358.93-0.03. SOFIA confirms an accretion burst from a massive young stellar object
(2020-12-18) - Journal articleContext. Class II methanol masers are signposts of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs). Recent evidence shows that flares of these masers are driven by MYSO accretion bursts. Thus, maser monitoring can be used to identify ... -
Bypassing the requirement for aminoacyl-tRNA by a cyclodipeptide synthase enzyme
(2021-01-15) - Journal articleCyclodipeptide synthases (CDPSs) produce a variety of cyclic dipeptide products by utilising two aminoacylated tRNA substrates. We sought to investigate the minimal requirements for substrate usage in this class of enzymes ...
