Urea derivatives are prevalent intermediates in the synthesis of resin precursors, dyes, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutical drugs. Furthermore, polyureas are useful plastics with applications in coating, adhesive, and biomedical industries and…
It is a paradigm in chemistry that chemical reaction are mainly governed by thermodynamics. Within this assumption, reaction rates can be derived from transition state theory which requires a quasi-equilibrium…
Metallaphotoredox chemistry has recently witnessed a renaissance through the use of abundant first-row transition metals combined with suitable photocatalysts. The intricate details arising from the combination of two (or more)…
Molecular simulations are becoming a common tool for the investigation of dynamic and thermodynamic properties of novel solvents such as ionic liquids and the more recent deep eutectic solvents. As…
SARS-CoV-2 uses its spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) to interact with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on host cells. Inhibitors of the RBD-ACE2 interaction are therefore promising drug candidates…
