Local structure and clustering in acetic acid/pyridine mixtures
The aim of this proposed work is to complete our study of the behaviour of acetic acid/pyridine mixtures as a functionof composition, in order to fully characterise the changes... -
Hydrogenation of frustrated Lewis pairs in solution
It has been postulated that 'Frustrated Lewis Pairs' react after associating in an encounter complex held by dispersion forces, and that is it is this complex that interacts,... -
Bio-inspired Ionic Liquids for Lignin Dissolution
Biomass is a renewable source of fuel and fine chemicals. Although naturally abundant, it is heterogeneous and recalcitrant to biodegradation. Current industrial strategy is to... -
Towards Understanding Lignin Solubility in Protic Ionic Liquids
A current key road block to the economic viability of a biorefinery is the inability to cost effectively separate biomass into lignin and cellulose. It has recently been...
