Diazonium grafted oligo(phenylene ethynylene) (OPE) monolayers suitable for single molecule conductance studies have been prepared. The surface-bound OPE is prepared from the amino tolan, 4-(2-(4-(2-(triisopropylsilyl)ethynyl)phenyl)ethynyl)benzamine...

Illuminators' Pigments in Lancastrian England (2016)
Journal Article
Beeby, A., Gameson, R., & Nicholson, C. (2016). Illuminators' Pigments in Lancastrian England. Manuscripta, 60(2), 143-164. https://doi.org/10.1484/j.mss.5.111916

The pigments used in four high-status, datable, late medieval English manuscripts are identified by scientific methods. The palette and painting techniques of the illuminators responsible are studied individually then comparatively.

Journal Article
Davidson, R., Hsu, Y., Batchelor, T., Yufit, D., & Beeby, A. (2016). The use of organolithium reagents for the synthesis of 4-aryl-2-phenylpyridines and their corresponding iridium(III)complexes. Dalton Transactions, 45(28), 11496-11507. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6dt01461e

A versatile palladium-free route for the synthesis of 4-aryl-substituted phenylpyridines (ppy), starting from tert-butyl 4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate, is reported. Reaction with an aryllithium, followed by trifluoroacetic acid dehydration/deprotecti...

The local molecular environment is a critical factor which should be taken into account when measuring single-molecule electrical properties in condensed media or in the design of future molecular electronic or single molecule sensing devices. Supram... Read More about Single-Molecule Conductance of Viologen–Cucurbit[8]uril Host–Guest Complexes.

Anisotropic lanthanide-based nano-clusters for imaging applications (2016)
Journal Article
