Disclosed herein is a method of reducing or disproportionating peroxide, comprising combining an organic chalcogenide, an iron salt, and the peroxide in the presence of an additional reductant, which can be the organic chalcogenide. The method can be used to, e.g., prepare alcohols from peroxides and to disproportionate hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

This disclosure relates to amphiphilic compounds containing a cyclobutene or cyclobutane moiety. In some embodiments, the compounds are useful for treating infection bysuch as. Cyclobutene containing compounds are also useful as monomers in the preparation of amphiphilic polymers.

Amphiphilic cyclobutenes and cylobutanes

A sensor having a substrate is provided in which structures are disposed on a surface of the substrate. The structures can be, e.g., nanostructures. Polarized light is directed toward the sensor, and birefringence of the structures with respect to the light is measured. Target particles that interact with the structures are detected based on changes in the measured birefringence.

Optical sensing and separation based on ordered 3D nanostructured surfaces

Cross-linked amphiphile constructs that form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metal surfaces such as gold surfaces are disclosed. These new SAMs generate well packed and highly oriented monolayer films on gold surfaces. A method for using the SAMs in the fabrication of biomolecule sensors is also disclosed.

Methods for producing singlet oxygen from 1,1-dihydroperoxides are provided herein. In some embodiments, the methods involve base-mediated decomposition of monoactivated derivatives of 1,1-dihydroperoxides. In some embodiments, the methods involve additive-mediated decomposition of 1,1-dihydroperoxides.
