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... -
A PDF investigation of synthetic Georgite - a new, high activity catalyst
Synthetic Georgite has shown high catalytic activity for a number of catalytic processes including methanol synthesis and the water gas shift reaction. Consequently, it is of... -
Water soluble ruthenium compounds for homogeneous catalysis processes: the ro...
The combination of NMR, DFT based ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) and total neutron scattering aided by EPSR simulations provide a new method for understand the factors... -
Interaction of trehalose and a model peptide
We propose to perform a NDIS experiments at the SANDALS diffractometer at T = 300 K on X samples of N-Methylacetamide, NMA, and trehalose at low water content, in the glassy... -
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,... -
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... -
Solvation and structure of lithium in bis{(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl}imide bas...
The use of ionic liquids for electrochemical devices such as supercapacitors, dye sensitised solar cells and lithium ion batteries has led to significant advances in technology.... -
Molecular interactions in amorphous paracetamol
The appearance of multiple crystal forms is one of the bottlenecks in pharmaceutical formulation. To date the result of a crystallisation experiment cannot be predicted and we... -
Structure of a clathrate hydrate inhibitor in water
Gas hydrates (crystalline inclusion compounds of water and small hydrocarbons) present a very real challenge to the petrochemical industry. In uninhibited systems gas hydrates...
