New @ChemRxiv - a very basic study on the influence of the alcohol's acidity on organo-base catalyzed carbamate formation from aliphatic isocyanates. doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.15…
We are happy to have contributed to the detailed studies led by the Resel group @tugraz on a transient, previously unknown chiral phase of 1,1'-biphenyl. doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.5c0…
We @tugraz disclosed a modular and inexpensive method of generating carbenoid reactivity in situ. Azoles & oxiranes catalyze benzoin condensation. O2 exclusion not needed. Utility is demonstrated by producing a thermoset from the glycidylether of vanillin. doi.org/10.1002/adsc.70218
Mark your calendars! The next YPRA (Young Polymer Researchers Austria) meeting will be held in Leoben from June 29 to July 1, 2026. Visit the website for more information. ypra.at/frontend/index.php?s…
you can find work @chemrixv on Lewis base/oxirane combinations acting as a catalytic system in the glycolysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…
There's no need for thiols anymore! 😇
Hot lithography with formulations based on novel photobases, alcohols, and acrylates is disclosed in Mater. Horiz. doi.org/10.1039/D5MH01050K
Read about GUT: Zn(II) based coordination polymers with 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanoate ligands (sc- & p-X-ray, IR supported by theoretical calculations, TGA, gas adsorption properties (N2, CO2, CH4) and solubility in water & buffer). doi.org/10.1002/ejic.2025000…
Are you curious about the Lewis base-mediated homopolymerization of epoxidized eugenol and its copolymerization with DGEBA? Take a look here: doi.org/10.1007/s00706-025-0…
Understanding the reversible intercalation of guest molecules into MOFs is crucial for advancing their design for applications. In a new preprint, @_NinaStrasser_ et al. explore the impact of crystal water on the thermal expansion of a zinc-based MOF: arxiv.org/abs/2504.05189
The combination of Brillouin scattering data with simulations of elastic properties and phonon bands allows the determination of approximate values for the components of the elastic tensor of the studied MOF, even for comparatively small single crystals. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Porous Materials@Work for Sustainability is organizing a networking event at @TUGraz in 2025. Are you interested? Any questions? Then sign up or ask me if you need more information.
During the Austrian Chemistry Days @AT_ChemSociety, Karin Ratzenböck and Susanne Fischer received the Best Review Article Award 2023 of the Monatshefte für Chemie #springernature for their paper on oxa-Michael polymerization. link.springer.com/article/10… Many congratulations!
Physicists are amazing! Preprint by Lindner and Czibula @arxiv on #Brillouin spectroscopy to probe the mechanical properties of (zinc-based) #MOFs - our GUT2 #tugraz is stiffer than ZIF-8! arxiv.org/abs/2409.07039
