Direct spectroscopic identification of elusive dehydrogenated radicals: CH2OCHO and CH3OCO radicals from methyl formate oxidation

The atmospheric degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) begins through oxidation by hydroxyl or nitrate radicals, producing highly reactive dehydrogenated radicals. While the stability-and thus, the reactivity-of these radicals critically depends on their isomeric form,...

Tuning the Band Structure of Covalent Triazine Frameworks for Sequential Reductive–Oxidative Photoredox Catalysis

Abstract Interrupted atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) processes through radical–polar crossover (RPC) manifolds constitute a powerful strategy for the rapid assembly of complex molecular architectures, yet their implementation using heterogeneous photocatalysts remains large...

Identification of a nanosecond isomer of $$^{164}$$Tb

Abstract This letter reports on the identification of a new isomeric state of $$^{164}$$ 164 Tb ( $$Z=65$$ Z = 65 , $$N=99$$ N = 99 ), which was measured with the DESPEC setup at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH following the first relativistic fragmentation...
