Heterolytic Cleavage of H2 using Non-Metal Frustrated Lewis Pairs
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... -
The structure of paraquat in solution and in clay gels
This experiment will use high resolution neutron diffraction to determine for the first time thesolvation structure of the pesticide paraquat in bulk aqueous solution and in the... -
Ion and temperature effects on the self-assembly of short peptides - SANS stu...
In this work, we have selected a group of 5 short peptides I3GGHK, I4GGHK, I3GGGHK, I3GGHHK and I3KGGH to study how changes in peptide concentration, [Cu2+] and temperature... -
SANS studies of the micellar structures of mixtures of lauroyl-L-carnitine an...
As a new group of synthetic biosurfactants, the acyl-L-carnitines offer potential for different applications including working as edible biocides. Whilst extensive studies have... -
Radiation induced hydrogen abstraction - A combined X-ray and neutron diffrac...
X-ray induced radiation damage drastically limits the structural information accessible in diffraction experiments from macromolecules at 3rd generation synchrotrons. Relatively...
