Hydrogen Bonding Effects on the Nucleophilicity and Basicity of Fluoride Anio...
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... -
Examining the properties of water channel in an organic matrix.
The objectives are to study the interaction of water molecules held in a channel in an organic matrix. We have structurally characterised a water tetramethylpiperididine complex... -
The role of hydrogen atoms in the ferroelectric transition of [NH4][Zn(HCOO)3].
This proposal aims at better understanding the role of the disordered NH4+ ions in driving the ferroelectric transition in [NH4][Zn(HCOO)3] and that of hydrogen bonding in... -
Determination of the low temperature crystal structure of Fe3O4
The aim of this proposal is to determine the crystal structure of Fe3O4 (magnetite) in its low temperature phase below the Verwey transition. Despite a considerable amount of...
