Light-induced rearrangement from macrocyclic to bicyclic lactam: A case study of N-chlorinated laurolactam by Zubčić Gabrijel, Pavić Kristina, You Jiangyang, Vrček Valerije, Portada Tomislav, Bešić Erim, Šakić Davor

“…While only two radical adduct types were identified in the electron para magnetic resonance (EPR) (C-centered radical and chlorine radical), all eight possible products are observed in the NMR. Quantum chemical calculations provide deeper insights into reaction thermodynamics and kinetics, explaining why the N-centered radical was not observed. …”

Coupling between topological edge state and defect mode-based biosensor using phononic crystal by Zaky A. Zaky, M. Al-Dossari, Ahmed S. Hendy, Yassine Bouazzi, Attia Boudjemline, Arafa H. Aly

“…Besides, the salinity of seawater is a crucial factor in understanding its characteristics because any variation in the salinity of seawater represents the variations in the hydrological, biological, and chemical distributions. In this paper, a symmetrical one-dimensional phononic structure is theoretically designed using two symmetrical crystals separated with a defective cavity. …”
