Reductive C–C Coupling from Molecular Au(I) Hydrocarbyl Complexes: A Mechanistic Study
Organometallic gold complexes are used in a range of catalytic reactions, and they often serve as catalyst precursors that mediate C–C bond formation. In this study, we investigate C–C coupling to form ethane from various phosphine-ligated gem-digold(I) methyl...
Enhanced Directional Light Extraction from Patterned Rare‐Earth Phosphor Films
The combination of light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) and rare earth (RE) phosphors as color‐converting layers comprises the basis of solid‐state lighting. Indeed, most LED lamps include a photoluminescent coating made of phosphor material, i.e., crystalline matrix suitably...
Tuning the Topological Landscape of DNA-Cyclodextrin Nanocomplexes by Molecular Design
Original molecular vectors that ensure broad flexibility to tune the shape and surface properties of plasmid DNA (pDNA) condensates are reported herein. The prototypic design involves a cyclodextrin (CD) platform bearing a polycationic cluster at the primary face and...
The Inorganic Nutrient Regime and the mre Genes Regulate Cell and Filament Size and Morphology in the Phototrophic Multicellular Bacterium Anabaena
The model cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 exhibits a phototrophic metabolism relying on oxygenic photosynthesis and a complex morphology. The organismic unit is a filament of communicated cells that may include cells specialized in different nutritional tasks,...
