Metal oxide nanoparticles and their applications (e.g. in nano-electronics, nano-optics or drug delivery) have seen a growing interest in the past decades. Traditional procedures to synthesize, functionalize and integrate nanoparticles in devices mostly ha ...
Detailed thermodynamic and kinetic study of the aqueous Kolbe-Schmitt synthesis of beta-resorcylic acid has been carried out in a laboratory-scale batch reactor operated under ambient pressure. The dependence of the conversion on partial pressure of carbon ...
The development of efficient synthetic methodologies is crucial to access complex molecules in an economic, eco-friendly and safe way. The reversal of the intrinsic reactivity of functional groups, called Umpolung, allows alternative synthetic strategies a ...
In recent years sophisticated biomaterials have made a significant impact on our understanding of cellular behavior, particularly in the fields of stem cell research and tissue engineering. Nevertheless, the promising potential of stem cells for regenerati ...
A combination of in situ time-resolved DXAFS and ICP-MS techniques reveals that the formation process of Rh nanoparticles (NPs) from rhodium trichloride trihydrate (RhCl3 center dot 3H(2)O) in ethylene glycol with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) at elevated tem ...
Single-mol. fluorescent microscopy allows semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to detect the adsorption and desorption of single adsorbate mols. as a stochastic modulation of emission intensity. In this study, we identify and assign the s ...
The identification of kinetic models is an essential step for the monitoring, control and optimization of industrial processes. This is particularly true for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, where the current trend of strong competition calls fo ...
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is a powerful tool to investigate large molecules. Miniaturized microchips, as a goal of ‘Lab-on-chip’, allow various integrated analysis quickly. The coupling of functional microchips and ESI-MS is capabl ...
The nickel(II) hydride complex [(MeN2N)Ni-H] (2) was synthesized by the reaction of [(MeN2N)Ni-OMe] (6) with Ph2SiH2 and was characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as X-ray crystallography. 2 was unstable in solution, and it decomposed via two re ...
Sequential enyne cross-metathesis reactions of arylalkynes with ethylene followed by atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) with ethyl dichloroacetate or dichloroacetonitrile provide 1,5-dichloropent-2-ene derivatives. The second-generation Grubbs alkyliden ...
