The synthesis and crystallisation of narrow-distribution polymers of tetrahydrofuran by Terrence G. Croucher

“…Tetrahydrofuran (THF) may be polymerised cationically by suitable initiators via a ring-opening mechanism to give linear, high molecular weight products which normally have a broad molecular weight distribution. Factors affecting the molecular weight distribution are discussed, and pertinent kinetic experiments are described, which allow the formulation of a procedure of synthesising monodisperse polymers of THF. …”

“…The triazole complex can be separated into Δ and Λ enantiomers by chiral HPLC but is weakly emissive in methanol (ε 5.5 mM−1 cm−1; λexc 320 nm; ϕ 0.2%), contrasting with a set of four alkynyl–aryl derivatives which are one thousand times brighter and absorb strongly with broad absorption maxima in the range 332 to 360 nm. …”

Magnon-spinon dichotomy in the Kitaev hyperhoneycomb β−Li₂IrO₃ by Alejandro Ruiz, Nicholas P Breznay, Mengqun Li, Ioannis Rousochatzakis, Anthony Allen, Isaac Zinda, Vikram Nagarajan, Gilbert Lopez, Zahirul Islam, Mary H Upton, Jungho Kim, Ayman H Said, Xian-Rong Huang, Thomas Gog, Diego Casa, Robert J Birgeneau, Jake D Koralek, James G Analytis, Natalia B Perkins, Alex Frano

“…The family of edge-sharing tricoordinated iridates and ruthenates has emerged in recent years as a major platform for Kitaev spin-liquid physics, where spins fractionalize into emergent magnetic fluxes and Majorana fermions with Dirac-like dispersions. While such exotic states are usually preempted by long-range magnetic order at low temperatures, signatures of Majorana fermions with long coherent times have been predicted to manifest at intermediate and higher energy scales, similar to the observation of spinons in quasi-one-dimensional spin chains. …”
