Hollow zeolite microspheres give enzymes a home

Building multifunctional hybrid materials that integrate both bio- and chemo-catalytic functionalities is a promising way to carry out multistep chemical reactions in a more sustainable fashion. Yet, the combination of an enzyme and a heterogeneous catalyst is not straightforward, for example in...

Factors Controlling Cage Escape Yields of Closed- and...

The cage escape yield, i.e., the separation of the geminate radical pair formed immediately after bimolecular excited-state electron transfer, was studied in 11 solvents using six Fe(III), Ru(II), and Ir(III) photosensitizers and tri-p-tolylamine as the electron donor. Among all complexes, the...
