(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-10)The study of crystals and associated phase transitions has numerous applications in areas such as energy storage, optoelectronics and pharmaceuticals. Understanding and characterizing these crystals is central to any ... -
Non-photochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN): an experimental investigation via real-time imaging and product analysis
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-06-07)Non-photochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN) is a technique in which exposure of a metastable system (such as a supersaturated solution) to a pulse of unfocused laser light induces the formation of a new phase ... -
Quantitative spectrographic analysis of aluminium alloys by solution technique
(The University of Edinburgh, 1957)[OCR failure] -
Chromatographic methods applied to the separation and determination of some metals
(The University of Edinburgh, 1957)A method is detailed for the determination of lead, -antimony and tin which is based on the separation of the antimony and tin by means of anion exchange resins using malonic acid as elutriant. In the presence of malonic ... -
Effects of polymethylene bistriethylammonium compounds of junctional transmission
(The University of Edinburgh, 1960)[OCR failure] -
Molecular structure of pectic substances with particular reference to sugar-beet araban
(The University of Edinburgh, 1961)An araban-rich polysaccharide was extracted from dry, sugar-free beet pulp with hot saturated aqueous calcium hydroxide. Hydrolysis followed by chroma to graphic analysis of the araban gave arabinose and galactose in ... -

Dinuclear cerium tetraphenolate complexes: from Lewis acid catalysts to redox chemistry
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-04-28)Molecular cerium complexes provide opportunities to take advantage of intrinsic characteristics of cerium, such as its strong Lewis acidity and redox chemistry for homogenous catalysis, and its high earth abundance has ... -
Interactions of halogens
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-04-26)As an analogue of the ubiquitous hydrogen bond, interest in halogen bonding has garnered interest since the turn of the twenty-first century. The orthogonal nature and occasionally surprising characteristics of halogen ... -
Synthesis and magnetic properties of Fe-based homo- and heterometallic clusters
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-04-21)Historically, polynuclear FeIII-O clusters have been at the heart of the study of molecular magnetism. From the study of [FeIII2-(μ-O)] dimers detailed magneto structural correlations were developed that can be applied to ... -
α-Oxoamine synthases for industrial biocatalysis
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-04-18)α-Oxoamine synthase (AOS) enzymes are key pyridoxal-5’-phosphate (PLP)-dependent, C-C bond-forming enzymes, which catalyse a Claisen-like condensation reaction between an L-α-amino-acid (L-AA) and an acyl-CoA thioester, ... -
Molecular modelling of lubricant-solid interactions that control friction and wear
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-11-04)Lubricants are used widely in industry to reduce the effects of friction and wear. Lubricant formulations for engine applications are typically composed of a base oil and various additives, each having a different function. ... -
Synthesis of new high-pressure A-site manganite perovskites and investigation of their magnetic properties
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-07-04)Perovskites, with the general formula, ABO3, have been extensively studied due to their large variety of intriguing electronic and magnetic properties, which can be achieved via a number of possible chemical compositions. ... -
Adsorbents for the removal of organic and inorganic contaminants from water
(The University of Edinburgh, 2022-03-24)The molluscicide metaldehyde has been frequently detected in ground and surface waters in concentrations exceeding the 0.1 μg L-1 EU regulatory limit, as industrial Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) has been proven inadequate ... -
