Polycarbonates are a promising class of potentially sustainable polymeric materials. Polycarbonates can be synthesized by ring-opening copolymerisation (ROCOP) reactions between epoxides and CO2, a renewable C1 synthon, or alternatively by…
Given the importance of SO2 as a pollutant species in the environment and its role in the hybrid sulphur (HyS) cycle for hydrogen production, we carried out a density functional theory…
Chemicals based on renewable resources are much desired in view of the dwindling supply of fossil fuels and the climatic problems caused by the accompanying rise in CO2 production. Polymers are…
The hydrated hydronium ions in in aqueous phase, on solid surfaces, and nano-sized pores provide a unique environment that modifies the excess chemical potentials, influencing the ground and transition state…
It was with great sadness that we heard of the passing of Sir John Meurig Thomas FRS. He was a remarkable man and one of the most eminent figures in catalytic…
