  • Horizon Europe - EU Multiannual Financial Framework
    30 November 2018 Dear Prime Minister / Chancellor / Taoiseach / President, Horizon Europe - EU Multiannual Financial Framework (a letter to Heads of State or Government, signed by Nobel Prize and other international award winners and CEOs and Chairmen of leading European companies) At the European Council meeting in December, European leaders will discuss the 2021-2027 EU Multiannual Financial Framework, including the budget to be assigned to Research and Innovation, mainly through the next framework programme Horizon Europe. On this occasion, we want to remind them of the economic impact and the tangible improvements to European citizens' lives that have been generated over the years by the EU framework programmes for Research and Innovation. We urge Europe’s Heads of State or Government to support or even to increase the investment in Horizon Europe. €120 billion was seen as the absolute minimum to make Europe a global frontrunner by the High Level Group set by the European Commission and chaired by Pascal Lamy. Indeed, EU-funded research had a decisive impact and positively contributed to various areas, such as avoiding unnecessary chemotherapy for breast cancer patients; opening the way to batteries and solar cells of the next generation; reducing aircraft emissions and noise; enhancing cybersecurity; qualifying the future impact of artificial intelligence on jobs; etc. European industry underlines that the EU framework programmes help companies to build up know-how, have access to the “state-of-the-art”, achieve synergies and critical mass, access highly skilled and talented people, and network with customers and suppliers. EU-funded research has made an immense contribution to creating and disseminating scientific knowledge indispensable for innovation to flourish.

  • Type II Halogen...Halogen Contacts Are Halogen Bonds
    scientific commentaries Type II halogenÁÁÁhalogen contacts are halogen IUCrJ bonds ISSN 2052-2525 CHEMISTRYjCRYSTENG Pierangelo Metrangolo* and Giuseppe Resnati Laboratory of Nanostructured Fluorinated Materials of the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering "Giulio Natta", Politecnico di Milano, Via L. Mancinelli 7, Milano, 20131, Italy Halogenated phenols (HPs) are naturally present in the marine environment (Gribble, 2010). They are also important man-made compounds owing to their chemical inertness and applications in many industrial processes. For instance, chlorinated phenols, e.g. 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and its isomers, have been routinely used as pesticides, bactericides Keywords: halogen bonds; halogenated phenols and fungicides, and a number of tribromophenols are commercially produced as flame retardants and wood preservatives. The carbon–halogen bond can be quite stable in the environment and HPs are recalcitrant molecules, widespread organic pollutants found in air, water, soil and sedi- ments (Shao et al., 2011). The HPs mentioned above have, in fact, been detected and quantified in blood from birds, fish and mammals, including humans. The retention of HPs by living organisms is related to their structural resemblance to the thyroid hormones 3,30,5,50-tetraiodo-l-thyroxin (thyroxine, T4) and 3,30,5-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3). In fact, para-andmeta-halophenols bind to some proteins such as transthyretin (TTR), thyroxin-binding globulin (TGB) and albumin (ALB), and the receptor affinity of o,o’-dihalophenols is remarkably high (Kitamura et al., 2008). To understand the recognition features of HPs at molecular level is thus of paramount importance as it may help to rationalize the adverse biological effects of HPs to which humans are commonly exposed.

Though similar to the H more familiar hydrogen bonding, four primary differences between these two interactions make halogen bonding a unique tool for molecular recognition and the design of functional materials. First, halogen bonds tend to be much more directional than (single) hydrogen bonds. Second, the interaction strength scales with the polarizability of the bond-donor atom, a feature that researchers can tune through single-atom mutation. In addition, halogen bonds are hydrophobic whereas hydrogen bonds are hydrophilic. Lastly, the size of the bond-donor atom (halogen) is significantly larger than hydrogen. As a result, halogen bonding provides supramolecular chemists with design tools that cannot be easily met with other types of noncovalent interactions and opens up unprecedented possibilities in the design of smart functional materials. This Account highlights the recent advances in the design of halogen-bond-based functional materials. Each of the unique features of halogen bonding, directionality, tunable interaction strength, hydrophobicity, and large donor atom size, makes a difference. Taking advantage of the hydrophobicity, researchers have designed small-size ion transporters. The large halogen atom size provided a platform for constructing all-organic light-emitting crystals that efficiently generate triplet electrons and have a high phosphorescence quantum yield.

    Synthetic small molecules as machines: a chemistry perspective Professor Pradyut Ghosh Department of Inorganic Chemistry Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science 2A & 2B Raja S. C. Mullick Road, Kolkata 700032 E-mail: [email protected] 28th Mid-Year Meeting of Indian Academy of Sciences (IASc), Bengaluru, 1st July 2017 Feynman’s Dream on Molecular Machines Classic Talk given at the Meeting of the American Society of Physics in 1959 about the future of design and engineering at the molecular level The possibility of building small machines from atoms i.e. machines small enough to manufacture objects with atomic precision. Transcript of Talk : Caltech Eng. Sci. 1960, 23:5, 22–36. Feynman’s 1984 Visionary Lecture……. How small can you make machinery? Machines with dimensions on the nanometre scale. These already existed in nature. He gave bacterial flagella, corkscrew-shaped macromolecules as an example. Future vision – molecular machines will exist within 25–30 years. The aim of the lecture: To inspire the researchers in the audience, to get them to test the limits of what they believed possible. What neither Feynman, nor the researchers in the audience, knew at the time was that the first step towards molecular machinery had already been taken, but in a rather different way to that predicted by Feynman. What is that? 1953: Mechanical Bonds in Molecules Mid-20th century: Chemists were trying to build molecular chains in which ring-shaped molecules were linked together. The dream: To create mechanical bonds, where molecules are interlocked without the atoms interacting directly with each other. Frisch, H.

  • How Molecules Became Machines
    THE NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY 2016 POPULAR SCIENCE BACKGROUND How molecules became machines The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016 is awarded to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa for their development of molecular machines that are a thousand times thinner than a hair strand. This is the story of how they succeeded in linking molecules together to design everything from a tiny lift to motors and miniscule muscles. How small can you make machinery? This is the question that Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman, famed for his 1950s’ predictions of developments in nanotechnology, posed at the start of a visionary lecture in 1984. Barefoot, and wearing a pink polo top and beige shorts, he turned to the audience and said: “Now let us talk about the possibility of making machines with movable parts, which are very tiny.” He was convinced it was possible to build machines with dimensions on the nanometre scale. These already existed in nature. He gave bacterial flagella as an example, corkscrew-shaped macromole- cules which, when they spin, make bacteria move forward. But could humans – with their gigantic hands – build machines so small that you would need an electron microscope to see them? A vision of the future – molecular machines will exist within 25–30 years One possible way would be to build a pair of mechanical hands that are smaller than your own, which in turn build a pair of smaller hands, which build even smaller hands, and so on, until a pair of miniscule hands can build equally miniscule machinery.
