Tetrahydropyran (THP) is a five-carbon heterocyclic ether that is non-carcinogenic, non-
peroxide forming, biodegradable, and economically competitive with tetrahydrofuran (THF) …

Density functional theory calculations were used to create a library of ring strain energies
(RSEs) for 73 cyclopentene derivatives with potential use as monomers for ring-opening …

Nitrosamines are in the cohort of concern (CoC) as determined by regulatory guidance. CoC
compounds are considered highly potent carcinogens that need to be limited below the …

Small ring nitrogen heterocycles, azabicyclobutanes and azirines, were investigated by
computational methods in order to address the discrepancy between their regioisomers 1 …

Acid gases including CO2, OCS, CS2, and SO2 are emitted by industrial processes such as
natural gas production or power plants, leading to the formation of acid rain and contributing …

We have quantum chemically studied the influence of ring strain on the competition between
the two mechanistically different SN2 and E2 pathways using a series of archetypal ethers …

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD) are key techniques
used to fabricate high-quality thin films. Organic α, ω-bifunctional precursors often exhibit …

Aziridines are nitrogen containing three-membered heterocycles that have gained
prominence in polymer science. The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of aziridines …
