Kinetic selection of Pd4L2 metallocyclic and Pd6L3 trigonal prismatic assemblies

Kinetic access to distorted metallocyclic and trigonal prismatic assemblies can be achieved using auxiliary ligands to control the dynamics of M–L interactions.

Kinetic selection of nonradiative excitation in photonic nanoparticles Gd2O3:Er

In Gd2O3:Er nanoparticles, we reveal four parallel channels of Gd3+def → Er3+ energy transfer by kinetic selection of excited states.

A basis for the kinetic selection of polymorphs during solution crystallization of organic compounds

Domain diagram for supersaturation needed for a given polymorph pair to select kinetically the metastable or stable forms.

Paired Electrochemical Processes: Overview, Systematization, Selection Criteria, Design Strategies, and Projection

In most commercial electrochemical processes, only one of the two sides of the cell produces a desirable reaction, whereas the complementary reaction at the other side simply avoids interference with the target process and/or offers fast kinetics as not to limit it. An overview of several possible paired reaction schemes and their advantages is given, accompanied with specific thermodynamic and kinetic selection criteria, cell and reaction design strategies, and examples from the organic, inorganic, and environmental areas. The unnecessary nomenclature dispersion in this field (e.g., combined, concurrent, conjugate, convergent, coupled, divergent, dual, duet, linear, paired, parallel, simultaneous and synchronous electrochemical processes) is revised and a simple, consistent classification, as well as a homogeneous schematization system, is proposed.
