Effect of Pressure on the Structure and Dynamics of Titanium Tetrachloride
At ambient pressure TiCl4 forms a molecular solid consisting of isolated TiCl4 molecules (phase-I). At 0.5 GPa this structure undergoes a transition to phase-II, which is... -
An exploration of the vibrational properties of energetic materials using Ine...
We have initiated a new research programme that seeks to correlate features of the crystal structures of energetic materials (explosives, propellants) with their sensitivities... -
Quantitative Benchmarks of state-of-art Neutron Chemical Spectrometers - Part...
We request 4 days on TOSCA to investigate the instrumental performance of the spectrometer, and to create from scratch an ad-hoc database for instrument-model validation.Two... -
Pressure Effects on Proton Migration 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic Acid
Hydrogen bonds are ubiquitous in materials across the chemical spectrum, from inorganic to biological. They influence the structure, the functionality, and therefore the... -
Vibrational Neutron Spectroscopy Studies of Porous Metal-Organic Framework Ma...
The research of new porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas adsorption, storage and separation. We... -
A deuteration study aiming to highlight side chain dynamics in crystaline PCBM
Fullerene and its derivatives have become materials of great technological interest due to their growing success as electron acceptors in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs).... -
INS Studies of Porous Metal-Organic Framework Materials for Ammonia Storage
The development of new porous MOFs is receiving considerable attention worldwide owing to their potential for gas storage, separation, and purification. We seek to develop a... -
The chemisorption of hydrogen over a high surface area cobalt catalyst: An IN...
In collaboration with Sasol Technology UK Ltd, the research team have previously used INS to investigate the surface chemistry of synthesis gas (CO + H2) over a series of... -
Hydrogen containing intermediates during catalytic CO2 reduction on sulfides
We investigated the influence of sulfur on a well-known methanation catalyst, nickel on alumina/silica, so as to gain more information about sulfur poisoning. By different... -
Methyl iodide (CH3I) removal using high-surface area activated carbons: moist...
During the operation of nuclear plants, several fission products are released. Among them, radioiodine is considered one of the most important due to its tendency to form... -
fac-tris[2-phenylpyridinato-C2,N]iridium(III)
fac-tris[2-phenylpyridinato-C2,N]iridium(III) (tris-(2-phenylpyridine) iridium, [Ir(ppy)3]), is a heavy metal complex that is the most frequently used precursor molecule for the...
