- Early transition metal organometallics chemisorbed on extremely Brønsted acidic sulfated metal oxides such as sulfated alumina (AlS) and sulfated zirconia (ZrS) produce highly active single-site catalysts for olefin polymerization, alkene and arene hydrogenation, and alkane hydrogenolysis, typically with a large percentage of catalytically significant sites. The low support conjugate basicity...

- Description:
- Singlet Fission (SF) is a down-conversion process in organic chromophores where one high-energy singlet exciton is converted into two low-energy triplet excitons. Such carrier multiplication aspects of SF are promising in increasing the solar cell efficiency. The generation of two bound spin triplet states from the same singlet exciton also...
