We combine different wavelengths from an intense high-order harmonics source with variable delay at the focus of a split-mirror interferometer to conduct pump-probe experiments on gas-phase molecules. We report measurements of the time resolution (<44 fs) and spatial profiles (4 μm × 12 μm) at the focus of the apparatus. We demonstrate the utility of this two-color, high-order-harmonic techniqu...

The breakdown of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (FdUrd) to 5-fluorouracil (FUra) is catalyzed by the pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylases, uridine phosphorylase and thymidine phosphorylase. The effects of nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitors on FdUrd and FUra elimination by the isolated perfused rat liver were investigated. The inhibitor was injected into the perfusion reservoir 5 min before FdUrd or ...

Abstract Due to the prevalence of trifluoromethyl group (CF 3 ) in high‐value organic compounds, there is a constant demand for more selective, efficient and economical trifluoromethylation strategies. In this report we present detailed experimental computational investigations into use cheap atom‐economical CF I transition metal catalyzed trifluoromethylation. The mechanistic insight gained al...

The inherent complexity of the radiative transfer equation makes the exact treatment of radiative heat transfer impossible even for idealized situations and simple boundary conditions. Therefore, a wide variety of efficient solution methods have been developed for the RTE. Among these solution methods the spherical harmonics method, the moment method, and the discrete ordinates method provide m...

The mechanistic analysis of catalyst-controlled regiodivergent aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions vinylcyclopentenone is described. DABCO-catalyzed reaction gives the α-adduct exclusively (red reaction) and DMAP-catalyzed produces γ-adduct selectively (blue reaction). revealed that rate-determining step (RDS) α-selective Mannich-type C−C bond formation step, whereas RDS γ-selective seems to be...
