X-ray diffraction is widely used to characterise the mineral component of calcified tissue. Broadening of the diffraction peaks yields valuable information on the size of coherently diffracting domains, sometimes loosely described as crystallite size...

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have rapidly become one of the key metal‐free catalysts for a variety of chemical transformations. Embedding these catalysts within a supramolecular assembly can offer improvements to factors such as recyclability and se... Read More about Exploring Supramolecular Frustrated Lewis Pairs.

Octabetaines: a DFT Study of Unexplored Eight-Membered 10π Heterocycles (2025)
Journal Article

Eight-membered 10π heterocyclic mesomeric betaines (HMBs) are unusual in that they are associated with two 1,3-dipolar fragments in mutual conjugation; they are conjugated HMBs belonging to Class 1A. Apart from the characterization of five derivative... Read More about Octabetaines: a DFT Study of Unexplored Eight-Membered 10π Heterocycles.
