© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Herein we describe a simple fluorescence quenching method for the selective recognition and determination of the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe). The use of 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed that the alkaloid palmatine (PAL) can encaps... Read More about A fluorescent probe based on cucurbit[7]uril for the selective recognition of phenylalanine.

Use of titanium complexes bearing diphenolate or calix[n]arene ligands in α-olefin polymerization and the ROP of cyclic esters (2020)
Journal Article
Santoro, O., & Redshaw, C. (2020). Use of titanium complexes bearing diphenolate or calix[n]arene ligands in α-olefin polymerization and the ROP of cyclic esters. Catalysts, 10(2), Article 210. https://doi.org/10.3390/catal10020210

In this review, we discuss the use of titanium complexes bearing either bridged diphenolate or calix[n]arene (n = 4, 6, 8) ligation, in the formation of plastics from α-olefins or via the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters. The synthe... Read More about Use of titanium complexes bearing diphenolate or calix[n]arene ligands in α-olefin polymerization and the ROP of cyclic esters.
