A single crystal of 17O enriched alpha-glycine was grown by slow evaporation of aqueous solution. 17O n.m.r. studies of the alpha-glycine molecule in single crystalline form revealed five 17O transitions each consisting of two lines due to inequivalency of the oxygen atoms in the unit cell, with each of these lines revealing a dipolar interaction between the 17O and the nearest hydrogen atom. The spectral width was found to be of the order of magnitude of MHz and the linewidths of the order of magnitude of 2 kHz.

Phosphorus Oxidation Controls Epitaxial Shell Growth in InP/ZnSe Quantum Dots.

ACS Nano

January 2025

Optoelectronic Materials Section, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Delft University of Technology, Van der Maasweg 9, 2629 HZ Delft, The Netherlands.

InP/ZnSe/ZnS core/shell/shell quantum dots are the most investigated quantum dot material for commercial applications involving visible light emission. The inner InP/ZnSe interface is complex since it is not charge balanced, and the InP surface is prone to oxidation. The role of oxidative defects at this interface has remained a topic of debate, with conflicting reports of both detrimental and beneficial effects on the quantum dot properties.

Fluoromethyl Triflate and Fluoromethyl Fluorosulfonate: Easily Accessible and Powerful Fluoromethylation Reagents.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

December 2024

Lehrstuhl für Anorganische Chemie und Strukturchemie, Fakultät für Chemie, Universität Bielefeld, Universitätsstraße 25, 33615, Bielefeld, Germany.

Fluoromethyl triflate (superfluoromethyl, SFM, FHCOSOCF) and fluoromethyl fluorosulfonate (magic fluoromethyl, MFM, FHCOSOF) are two easily synthesized, highly effective and non-ozone depleting fluoromethylation reagents. They are analogous to the well-known and widely used methylation reagents HCOSOCF and HCOSOF. Both SFM and MFM have been fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (H, C, O, F, S).

Supramolecular chemistry explores non-covalent interactions between molecules, and it has facilitated the design of functional materials and understanding of molecular self-assembly processes. We investigate a captivating class of supramolecular structures, the guanidinium and hydrogen carbonate rosette layers. These rosette layers are composed of guanidinium cations and carbonate anions, exhibiting intricate hydrogen-bonding networks that lead to their unique structural properties.
