• Insights into the synthesis of NHC-stabilized Au nanoclusters through real-time reaction monitoring 

      Liu, Junliang; Sato, Yusuke; Kulkarni, Viveka K.; Sullivan, Angus I.; Zhang, Wenyu; Crudden, Cathleen M.; Hein, Jason Ellis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Atomically precise gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are interesting nanomaterials with potential applications in catalysis, bioimaging and optoelectronics. Their compositions and properties are commonly evaluated by various ...
    • The Janus face of high trans-effect carbenes in olefin metathesis: gateway to both productivity and decomposition 

      Occhipinti, Giovanni; Nascimento, Daniel L.; Foscato, Marco; Fogg, Deryn Elizabeth; Jensen, Vidar Remi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Ruthenium–cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) catalysts, used at ppm levels, can enable dramatically higher productivities in olefin metathesis than their N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) predecessors. A key reason is the reduced ...
    • Keeping an “eye” on the experiment: computer vision for real-time monitoring and control 

      El-Khawaldeh, Rama; Guy, Mason; Bork, Finn; Taherimakhsousi, Nina; Jones, Kris N.; Hawkins, Joel M.; Han, Lu; Pritchard, Robert P.; Cole, Blaine A.; Monfette, Sebastien; Hein, Jason Ellis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      This work presents a generalizable computer vision (CV) and machine learning model that is used for automated real-time monitoring and control of a diverse array of workup processes. Our system simultaneously monitors ...
    • Unequivocal structure confirmation of a breitfussin analog by anisotropic NMR measurements 

      Ndukwe, Ikenna E.; Lam, Yu-hong; Pandey, Sunil Kumar; Haug, Bengt Erik; Bayer, Annette; Sherer, Edward C.; Blinov, Kirill A.; Williamson, R. Thomas; Isaksson, Johan; Reibarkh, Mikhail; Liu, Yizhou; Martin, Gary E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Structural features of proton-deficient heteroaromatic natural products, such as the breitfussins, can severely complicate their characterization by NMR spectroscopy. For the breitfussins in particular, the constitution ...
