Commun., 2016, 52, 7906 Flavia Pop†* and Narcis Avarvari* Covalent donor–acceptor (D–A) systems have significantly contributed to the development of many organic materials and to molecular electronics. Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) represents one of the most widely studied donor precursors and has been incorporated into the structure of many D–A derivatives with the objective of obtaining redox control and modulation of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT), in order to address switchable emissive systems and to take advantage of its propensity to form regular stacks in the solid state. In this review, we focus on the main families of non-fused TTF–acceptors, which are classified according to the nature of the acceptor: nitrogen-containing heterocycles, BODIPY, Received 29th February 2016, perylenes and electron poor unsaturated hydrocarbons, as well as radical acceptors.

Never before has this famous line meant more. The roller coaster ride that the last two years took the global economy through, proved one fact – that a successful enterprise needs to have the resilience to withstand the highs and lows of a future that often comes unheralded. As a global enterprise, Tata Steel was not unaffected by the challenges of the last two years. Yet, the Company demonstrated resilience by taking several proactive initiatives across all geographies. A tough start to the year was balanced by a rebound in the second half, when these initiatives began to pay off. Undeterred by the economic turbulence, the Company continued to place emphasis on working practices in health, safety and corporate citizenship, with specific initiatives taken in all these areas. In addition, a continued focus on engineering solutions for customers, is helping it maintain its position of a product pioneer. Tata Steel believes in staying alert to future opportunities while never letting go of its core values. This is the philosophy that has underpinned its growth over the years and one that remains its key driving force. 001-011_Part01_TSAR10.indd 1 7/7/10 12:55:19 PM Inside the gas holder - part of the BOS gas recovery scheme at Port Talbot, UK.

    PRESSEINFORMATION 25. Juli 2017 Classic Glass for Classic Cars Pilkington Automotive bei den „Classic Days 2017” Pilkington Automotive ist erstmalig zu Gast bei den „Classic Days” vom 4. bis 6. August 2017 auf Schloss Dyck. Das Klassik- und Motorfestival lockt jährlich mehr als 30.000 Besucher nach Jüchen. Pilkington Automotive wird im Rahmen des Festivals seinen besonderen Service für die Liebhaber von Young- und Oldtimern präsentieren: Der Glashersteller produziert auf Kundenwunsch neue Windschutzscheiben für „alte Schätzchen“. Der Clou dabei ist: Die Scheiben aus Verbundsicherheitsglas tragen die klassischen Logos wie XXX oder SIGLA. Sicherheit nach modernem Standard und nostalgisches Flair müssen also kein Widerspruch sein. Die Windschutzscheiben werden in VSG-Qualität (Verbundsicherheitsglas) nach modernen Fertigungstechniken produziert. Verbundsicherheitsglas erhöht die Sicherheit bei der Fahrt mit Young- und Oldtimern. Die Originalscheiben bestehen in der Regel nur aus Einscheibensicherheitsglas. Es lohnt sich deshalb, eine über die Jahre hinweg zerkratzte oder milchig gewordene Originalscheibe durch eine neue Pilkington-Scheibe aus VSG zu ersetzen. Ein Highlight der „Classic Days“ am Stand der Pilkington Automotive Deutschland GmbH (in der Nähe des US- Car-Bereichs beim Miscanthusfeld) wird der Live-Scheibenaustausch bei einem Opel Manta A (Baujahr 1975) sein. Nach Bedarf und Kundenwunsch Pilkington gehört seit 2006 zur NSG Group, einem der weltweit führenden Glashersteller. Das Unternehmen blickt auf eine fast 60-jährige Tradition bei der Produktion von klassischen Windschutzscheiben für den Ersatzteilmarkt zurück. Das Sortiment umfasst beispielsweise Scheiben für Klassiker wie den Aston Martin, das britische Kultauto von 007 James Bond, den Jaguar XKR, für Land Rover, Range Rover oder den Bentley MK IV. Dank einer großen Auswahl an Werkzeugen können Gläser für eine Vielzahl von Young- und Oldtimern produziert werden – bei Bedarf werden auch neue Werkzeuge für die Scheibenproduktion angefertigt.

  • Preliminary Results for the Year Ended 31St March 2021 Robust Performance and Growth Opportunities Driven by Sustainable Solutions
    News Release th Thursday 27 May 2021, 7.00 am Preliminary results for the year ended 31st March 2021 Robust performance and growth opportunities driven by sustainable solutions Robert MacLeod, Chief Executive, commented: Our employees have done a tremendous job adapting to new ways of working through COVID-19, whilst still delivering for our customers. It is thanks to their hard work that we have delivered a robust set of results which, in the context of a pandemic, is especially pleasing and testament to their efforts. Following a challenging first half, we recovered strongly in the second half helped by a strong recovery in our end markets and higher precious metal prices. We are delivering our efficiency programme, tightly managing working capital and generating cash from our more established businesses which we are continuing to invest for growth, particularly in battery materials and hydrogen. In the year we made good strategic progress. We began entering into partnerships to advance the commercialisation of eLNO and secured new customer wins in Fuel Cells. Our investment in sustainable technologies builds on our existing expertise and will enable the transformations in transport, energy, decarbonisation of industry and a circular economy that the world needs to reach net zero – transformations that are at the heart of achieving our vision of a cleaner, healthier world for today and future generations. It is in this context that we’ve launched our new sustainability goals which will result in Johnson Matthey being a net zero business by 2040. Our sustainability agenda relates not only to the way we run our own business, but underpins our strategic focus on the current and future technologies we sell to our customers.

The twinning fund was a financing mechanism consisting of a systematic support programme of site visits at ELIPTIC partner use cases, and additionally individual support in the take- up activities of twinning partners. Overall, the ELIPTIC twinning programme was a great success. The programme effectively supported the transfer of measures from ELIPTIC partner cities to twin cities by enabling joint discussions at user fora and workshops, site visits as well as feasibility studies to assess the local possibilities for public transport electrification.
