A central goal of science is to make accurate predictions. While computational theory has advanced to make accurate predictions of ground-state, organic molecules, excited-state predictions of many systems still pose a ...

Catalysts featuring a metal center with a unique ligand allow for basic chemical research. One of the most known and used type of ligand are tridentate pincer ligands, but a less studied form is the flexible asymmetric ...

To explore the structure-dynamics-function relationship in proteins, most studies are usually conducted in simple salt-buffer solutions, however, the interior of a cell is densely crowded. The concentration of macromolecular ...

Surface ozone is generated by photochemical production in a stable atmosphere which can be affected by a multitude of factors. We are looking at the correlation between topography, lake breeze extent and ozone gradients ...

Previous work in the Phillips group explored substituent and matrix effects on hydrogen bond strength in N--HCl systems (NH3–HCl, CH3CN–HCl, fluoropyridine–HCl). The HCl band in CH3CN–HCl shifts to lower frequency, reflecting ...

Electrochemistry is the study of reduction and oxidation chemical (redox) reactions. Electrodes are used in various solutions and a current is run through them. Changes in the current are then measured and graphed producing ...

The enhanced ordering arrangement of liquid crystals has been documented for well over a century, but the increase in popularity of inducible mesophases has emerged as a leading  optioelectronic  material. Applications ...
