SURMOFs for opical oxygen sensing in organic solvents as one of the many outcomes of the "Porous Materials @ Work for Sustainability" lead-project @tugraz Congrats Theresa! doi.org/10.1039/d6tc02088g

New @ChemRxiv, study on using hydroxyethyl acrylate to turn epoxy-amine thermosets into covalent adaptable networks. doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.15…

New study: Lewis-base catalysed carbamate formation under coating-relevant conditions. The key point is that base catalysis is particularly effective in reacting with acidic alcohols, such as phenols. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

A novel approach to optically sensing oxygen in organic solvents based on phosphorescent SURMOFs is available to preview on @ChemRxiv see: doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.15…

New @ChemRxiv - a very basic study on the influence of the alcohol's acidity on organo-base catalyzed carbamate formation from aliphatic isocyanates. doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.15…
