A series of cationic dinuclear p-cymene ruthenium trithiophenolato complexes of the type (eta(6)-p-MeC6H4Pr (i) )(2)Ru-2(SC6H4-p-X)(3) (1 X is H, 2 X is Me, 3 X is Ph, 4 X is Br, 5 X is OH, 6 X is NO2, 7 X is OMe, 8 X is CF3, 9 X is F, 10 X is Pr (i) ...
Carbon dioxide and the carbonates, the available natural C-1 sources, can be easily hydrogenated into formic acid and formates in water; the rate of this reduction strongly depends on the pH of the solution. This reaction is catalysed by ruthenium(II) pre- ...
The integrated approach for the design of solid catalysts for process intensification is presented addressing simultaneously different levels of scale and complexity involved in the development starting from the molecular/nano-scale of the active phase opt ...
Typical flue gas streams have low concns. of CO2 and high gas flow rates, making porous materials, such as zeolites, metal-org. frameworks (MOFs), and activated carbons promising options for the future sepn./sequestration of CO2. These framework materials ...
We combine low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and measurements of the catalytic activity to establish a structure-reactivity correlation for the CO oxidation on Pt nanoclusters on rutile TiO2(110)-(1 x 1). Annealing of the clusters to 1100 K lea ...
Long-chain alkanes are a major component of crude oil and therefore potentially good indicators of hydrocarbon spills. Here we present a set of new bacterial bioreporters and assays that allow to detect long-chain alkanes. These reporters are based on the ...
Metal-organic frameworks of the family M2 (2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) wherein M=Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Ni or Zn are a group of porous crystalline materials formed of metal cations or clusters joined by multitopic organic linkers that can be used to ...
In recent years, a strong emphasis in research towards creating sustainable and environmental friendly chemical processes has propelled the development of novel types of catalytic systems that combine advantages from homogeneous and heterogeneous processes ...
The imidazolium functionalized bipyridine compounds, {4,4'-bis-[7-(2,3-dimethylimidazolium)heptyl]-2,2'-bipyridine}(2+) (BIHB) and {4,4'-bis[(1,2-dimethylimidazolium)methyl]-2,2'-bipyridine}(2+) (BIMB), were prepared and used as Rh nanoparticle ...
Molybdenum disulfide microparticles in suspension in an aqueous acidic solution adsorb at the interface with an organic electrolyte solution containing the reducing agent, decamethylferrocene, to catalyse hydrogen evolution. This catalytic process has been ...
