Error, reproducibility and uncertainty in experiments for electrochemical energy technologies - Nature Communications

The authors provide a metrology-led perspective on best practice for the electrochemical characterisation of materials for electrochemical energy technologies. Such electrochemical experiments are highly sensitive, and their results are, in practice, often of uncertain quality and challenging to reproduce quantitatively.

The first triply twisted Möbius carbon nanobelt! The enantiomers were also isolated, showing large dissymmetric factor. This collaborative work with H. Isobe’s team was just posted in @ChemRxiv. @FanWei_NUS @tmfukunaga https://chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv/article-details/6371a15ddeff971b65e42d13

Synthesis and chiral resolution of a triply twisted Möbius carbon nanobelt

Atomically precise synthesis of topological molecular carbons such as Möbius carbon nanobelts (MCNBs) represents a big challenge in synthetic organic chemistry as it requires careful control of both twist and strain. So far, only one singly twisted MCNB has been reported and the MCNBs with more than two twists remain unknown. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of the first triply twisted MCNB by rational design and via a synthetic route involving Suzuki coupling-mediated macrocyclization, Bi(OTf)3-catalyzed cyclization of vinyl ethers, followed by oxidative dehydrogenation. The Möbius band-like structure was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, which also revealed coexistence of (P,P,P)- and (M,M,M)- enantiomers. The racemic isomers were resolved by chiral HPLC and the isolated enantiomers exhibited a large absorption dissymmetry factor (|gabs| = 0.019) according to circular dichroism spectroscopy, which can be explained by the fully conjugated structure and the desirable orientation of the electric and magnetic transition moments.

Hello to the #chemiVerse. Like many I'm experimenting with Mastodon (not that I'd been on Tw***er for long) so here is the #introduction post ...

I post one page visual summaries of UG organic #chemistry concepts (and occasionally more popular PG posts) under the www.makingmolecules.com banner (see attached). Although, I've never added it to Twitter, my name is Gareth and I'm an associate professor at a Massey University, 🇳🇿. Fun to see if this takes off.

A couple quick notes for new users of Mastodon (like me!). My understanding is that--

1). Text isn't searchable, but hashtags are. So, use hashtags if you want folks to find your stuff.

2). If you uppercase the first letters of words in hashtags, screen readers will read them (making them more accessible). If you keep it all lowercase, they won't. So, do this: #TacoMonster; not this: #tacomonster.

Hi all, a little #introduction from me 🤗

I'm a new Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology at UCL Chemistry #London 🥳

My group develops methods to control nucleic acids (#DNA #RNA) and synthetic cells (#synbio) with stimuli, like light, temperature and magnetism - we use all sorts of chemistries like #photocages, #polymers, and #nanoparticles

I will also toot about parenting, #coeliac disease, and things I find funny!
