… with electron rich species like anions. Since our compounds also feature other interactions, we needed to differentiate between them. This was possible only thanks to a mix of experimental and theoretical approaches. 2. What is its significance? ...

… molecules with a complex electronic structure. “These play a central role in many areas of chemistry, such as the catalysis of important industrial reactions,” says Römelt. It would be helpful if it was possible to predict the properties of the...

… Smith, from Delft University, Netherlands, concluded the day explaining how electrochemical potentials could be stretched to achieve effective CO2 reduction – useful against climate change -, stressing the importance of local solvation and pH...

… route to cheap and efficient fuel cells. Even traces of oxygen can deactivate molecular catalyst that are incorporated in fuel cells. Consequently, this drawback hampered the use of such catalyst based on abundant metals, which mimic the active...

… The new objects have a high positive charge and elongated silhouette that favor an interaction with the negatively charged DNA strands. “Similar large molecules, carrying multiple positive charges, are known to facilitate cell uptake and...

…Nat. Comm.: The mechanism protects sensitive enzymes from oxygen. It obtains its energy from sugar. Enzymes as biocatalysts can work just as efficiently in fuel cells as expensive precious metal catalysts. However, the enzymes, known as...

…Nat. Energy: The semi-artificial system is constructed like a Lego box – which opens up a wide range of applications for the future.

… to tackle the future challenges of solvation science", says Prof. Dr. Martina Havenith, speaker of RESOLV. "We will now explore chemical processes beyond ambient conditions, beyond thermal equilibrium and beyond homogeneous bulk phase to advance...

… group led by Professor Enrica Bordignon from Bochum and Professor Oliver Essen from Marburg describe the findings in the journal Structure, published online on 20 September 2018. Universal mechanism "Light-sensitive biomolecules such as...
