The oxophilicity of lanthanide complexes is leveraged for catalytic C–O cleavage via hydroboration. The proposed mechanism indicates that the reactive La-H is protected and activated as borate adduct, yielding high catalytic rates and turnover numbers.
Theoretical analysis reveals a complex oscillatory decay in the diffusivity of {100}-epitaxially supported fcc metal nanoclusters (NCs) with increasing size. NCs have a 3D structure for weak adhesion to oxide or other supports.
Results contrast traditional assumptions of monotonic decay with increasing size.

Applications are accepted through Friday, May 29 for a growth opportunity specifically for women* who are Iowa State University Faculty & Staff.
The process for requesting off-site equipment approval has moved to ServiceNow.
A new catalyst that allows using water instead of organic solvents in C-C bond forming reactions is presented. A simple method is developed for regulating the dielectric properties of solid-liquid interfaces. This approach can decrease the environmental impact of catalytic conversions.
We have proved that polyethylene (PE) threads into silica pores, demonstrated that pores induce all-anti conformation of PE, and described in-and-out polymer motion and its energetics.
Selective catalytic hydrogenolysis provides high-quality, value-added liquid products from polyethylene, enabling upcycling of an untapped feedstock
Developed a boron-alkylated BODIPY single-molecule-localization-microscopy (SMLM) probe that is photoactivated with a single low-power visible laser. Nucleophile-containing compounds can be bound to the probe for super-resolution imaging of cellular structures.
