Modulation has been understood and used to explain physical properties in solid-state materials for many years. Molecular modulated structures relatively scarce, but due to...

Catalytic processes leading to the functionalization of organic molecules by boron-containing reagents are highly topical ¿ ranging from transition metal catalysed hydro- and...

Modulation has been understood and used to explain physical properties in solid-state materials for many years. Molecular modulated structures relatively scarce, but due to...

This experiment will provide the first single crystal neutron diffraction structure of an alkane bound to a metal centre and give insight into the mechanism of the formation of...

In order to optimise complex synthetic procedures, it is imperative that the mechanism of reaction is fully understood. The SNV-sigma and SNV-pi reaction can be distinguished by...

Valuable information is lost when the focus is put only on the average unit cell and not the long-range order of the whole crystal. Determination of the long-range ordering can...

We propose to measure one or two big molecule systems. The aim of the experiment is to enable us to progress with single crystal data analysis using Mantid and also to provide a...

Modulation occurs when there is ordering on two (or more) length scales. When the ratio of these is an integer, the modulation is said to be commensurate, i.e. one ordering is...

In nucleophilic fluorination reactions, developing strategies for tuning the reactivity profile of fluoride anion in organic solution is a major challenge. Inspired by Nature¿s...

We propose to use neutron total scattering to characterise isocyanate (NCO-) orientations within the orientationally-disordered phase of AgNCO. The arrangement of NCO- ions in...

The synthesis of Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLP¿s) have recently experienced a huge surge in popularity as they have been found to be a novel approach for the activation of small...

In nucleophilic fluorination reactions it is extremely difficult to tune the reactivity of the fluoride anion in organic solution to give the desired product. Building on our...
