Another good example from our lab of how long it sometimes takes to obtain suitable single #crystals of small organic #molecules for single crystal X-ray diffraction investigations

It’s a simple organic molecule but it took a lot of effort to grow suitable single crystals for our newest little crystal structure paper in @iucrdata.iucr.org

Applicability of Semiconductor Photocatalysts in Photoredox Reactions: Highlighting the Performance of Polymeric Carbon Nitrides in Radical Three‐Component Couplings Different from other metal chalcogenide and pnictogenide semiconductors, polymeric carbon nitride (g-C3N4, pCN) was found highly effective in visible light-induced organic radical reactions. Heteroge...

Influence of light on ad- and desorption processes on titanium dioxide surfaces towards efficient CO2 photoreduction This work addresses the often-overlooked effect of light-induced sorption behavior of CO2 on powder TiO2 surfaces, as potential first step to photocatalytic CO2 activation. These investigations will l...

A BNAlP-heterocycle We report the [2+2]-cyclization reaction of a phosphaalumene with its lighter analog, an iminoborane, to give a species with a four-membered BNAlP-heterocycle with alternating Lewis basic and acidic c...

Our first post here.

Tim’s newest work on the reactivity of phosphaalumenes is out. When P=Al meets it’s smaller sibling a unique B,N,Al,P-heterocycle is formed. Congrats Tim and Leonie!
