  • N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) based ligands and related methods
    Patent number: 10843178
    Abstract: Polydentate macrocyclic NHCs (NHC ligands) and related methods are disclosed. Such ligands advantageously facilitate a variety of ligand coordination modes and stabilize oxidation states of metal complexes with a number of coordination environments and shapes. The NHC ligands described herein comprise pendant groups configured to facilitate a variety of reactions including: cis-trans isomerization, proton shuttling and facilitating changes in coordination environments as a result of redox reactions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 20, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 24, 2020
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of Arkansas
    Inventors: Stefan M. Kilyanek, Rajesh Thapa
  • Fluorinated coatings for high performance electrodes
    Patent number: 10650981
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electrode material comprising a carbon-containing substrate, comprising a surface and a plurality of RF moieties wherein each RF moiety is covalently bound to the surface; and each RF moiety comprises a fluorine atom. Also, disclosed herein is a method of preparing an electrode material.
