Macroalgae-Derived Biofuel: A Review of Methods of Energy Extraction from Seaweed Biomass (2014)
Journal Article
Milledge, J. J., Smith, B., Dyer, P. W., & Harvey, P. (2014). Macroalgae-Derived Biofuel: A Review of Methods of Energy Extraction from Seaweed Biomass. Energies, 7(11), 7194-7222. https://doi.org/10.3390/en7117194

The potential of algal biomass as a source of liquid and gaseous biofuels is a highly topical theme, but as yet there is no successful economically viable commercial system producing biofuel. However, the majority of the research has focused on produ... Read More about Macroalgae-Derived Biofuel: A Review of Methods of Energy Extraction from Seaweed Biomass.

Combined DFT and experimental studies of C–C and C–X elimination reactions promoted by a chelating phosphine–alkene ligand: the key role of penta-coordinate PdII (2014)
Journal Article
Estévez, L., Tuxworth, L. W., Sotiropoulos, J., Dyer, P. W. D., & Miqueu, K. (2014). Combined DFT and experimental studies of C–C and C–X elimination reactions promoted by a chelating phosphine–alkene ligand: the key role of penta-coordinate PdII. Dalton Transactions, 43(29), 11165-11179. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4dt00340c

A combined computational and experimental study of the coordination chemistry of phosphine–alkene ligand L1 (N-diphenylphosphino-7-aza-benzobicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene) with Pd0 and PdII is presented. Experimentally it is established that ligand L1 prom...
