Isoprene oligomerization with lithiated diethylenetriamine catalyst.

Protonation and oligomerization of gaseous isoprene on mildly acidic surfaces: implications for atmospheric chemistry.

In a global process linking the Earth's climate with its ecosystems, massive photosynthetic isoprene (ISOP) emissions are converted to light-scattering haze. This phenomenon is imperfectly captured by atmospheric chemistry models: predicted ISOP emissions atop forest canopies would deplete the oxidizing capacity of the overhead atmosphere, at variance with field observations. Here we address th...

diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid

The chelating agent diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid was used to measure iron stores in 83 patients with chronic liver disease. Iron chelation was normal in patients with chronic cholestasis. Chelation was increased above the control range in 14 out of 26 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, in nine out of 28 patients with non-alcoholiccirrhosis, and in 11 out of 15 cirrhotics with a portacav...

Chemical response of lithiated graphite with deuterium irradiation

Catalyst-controlled oligomerization for the collective synthesis of polypyrroloindoline natural products.

In nature, many organisms generate large families of natural product metabolites that have related molecular structures as a means to increase functional diversity and gain an evolutionary advantage against competing systems within the same environment. One pathway commonly employed by living systems to generate these large classes of structurally related families is oligomerization, wherein a ...

Mechanical behavior of electrochemically lithiated silicon

The time-independent and time-dependent mechanical behavior of electrochemically lithiated silicon was studied with nanoindentation. As indentation was performed with continuous stiffness measurements during loading and load-hold, new insight into the deformation behavior of lithiated silicon is furnished. Supporting other research, Young's modulus and the hardness of lithiated silicon are foun...
