Bond formation is an essential process in chemical reactions, but it is challenging to keep track of detailed atomic movements associated with bond formation because of its bimolecular nature. Bond formation in solution phase has been especially elusive because it is difficult to initiate and follow such diffusion-limited bimolecular processes with ultrafast time resolution. In this regard, a...

This beamline is one of the phase-I projects for Taiwan Photon Source (TPS). Construction of the beamline will complete before July 2015 and commissioning for optics and end-station will follow. The beamline is dedicated to white/mono-beam Laue diffraction for structural analysis. For instance, users could obtain the 2D and 3D distribution of phases, orientation, residual strain, stress, and...

*In situ* X-ray diffraction is a common technique for observing and determining structural transitions in crystalline materials with changes in temperature, pH, pressure, or some other driving force. In the analysis of metal hydride systems, there can be structural transitions composed of multiple phases forming and decomposing simultaneously. These patterns are often overshadowed by high...

123. Porous coordination polymers of alkyl amine ligands for carbon dioxide capture

We have been investigating the use of alkyl amine ligands in the synthesis of porous coordination polymers. The amine groups form part of the ligand backbones, and are designed to improve the selectivity of carbon dioxide capture over other gases. More than 50 new ligands have been made, and more than a dozen porous frameworks identified and tested. The ligands investigated fall into three...
