Photoluminescence of Anthracene–styrene- m-carborane derivatives
We report how m-carborane platform enhances the quantum efficiency of the anthracene in solution, without losing the emission properties in the aggregate state. Check out all details at Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers.
A new material for biobutanol separation
We have discovered a water stable metal-organic framework (MOF) that allows for the separation of butanol from acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) mixtures that are extracted from the fermentation process of biomass feedstock, as part of the standard industrial process to produce biofuels.
