The diversity of RNA structural elements and their documented role in human diseases make RNA an attractive therapeutic target. However, progress in drug discovery and development has been hindered by…
This study examined the formation mechanisms of singlet (rhombic) and triplet (linear) C4 with acetylene {by using|by utilizing} {accurate|correct|precise} ab initio CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) calculations, followed by a kinetic {analysis|evaluation} of {various|numerous|different|a…
Force field is a central requirement in molecular dynamics (MD) simulation for accurate description of the potential energy landscape and the time evolution of individual atomic motions. Most energy models…
Polymer membranes perform innumerable separations with far-reaching environmentalimplications. Despite decades of research on membrane technologies, design of new membranematerials remains a largely Edisonian process. To address this shortcoming, we demonstrate…
CuI and pyrazine form three hybrid materials, (Yellow), (Orange), and (Red). In this work, Red was prepared using a green synthetic method, water-assisted accelerated-aging synthesis, for the first time. The…

Nonaqueous redox flow batteries are a promising technology for grid-scale energy storage, however, their commercial success relies on identifying redox active materials that exhibit extreme potentials, high solubilities in all…
Density functional theory calculations together with ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations have been used to study the solvation, diffusion and transformation of Li+ and LiO2 upon O2 reduction in…
An environmentally benign supercapacitor is developed incorporating an ionic liquid, carbon powder, a cellulose separator and a Molybdenum electrode. The ionic liquid is dispersed into a water-dissolvable polymer, poly(vinyl alcohol),…
Sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) click chemistry provides a powerful tool for rapid construction of modular connections. Here, we report a novel catalytic silicon-free SuFEx reaction with sulfonyl fluorides. Under the…
