A ruthenium meso-tetra[4-(vinylbenzoxy)benzyl]porphyrin catalyst with four polymerizable side chains was synthesized in three steps from commercially available starting materials. The polymerizable side chains allowed the incorporation of this complex in h ...
Trace metal bioavailability is often evaluated on the basis of steady-state models such as the free ion activity model (FIAM) and the biotic ligand model (BLM). Some of the assumptions underlying these models were verified by examining Pb and Zn uptake by ...
To better understand the relationship between lead speciation and bioavailability in natural freshwaters, the interaction of lead with the freshwater alga Chlorella kesslerii was studied in the presence of the Suwannee River fulvic acid (SRFA). Special att ...

The solubility of hydrogen and the corresponding Henry coefficients for 11 ionic liquids have been determined in situ at 100 atm H-2 pressure and are much lower than expected; attempts to correlate the solubility of hydrogen in the ionic liquids with the r ...
The electrochem. oxidn. of benzoic acid (BA) was studied on boron-doped diamond electrodes on acid medium by cyclic voltammetry and bulk electrolysis. In the potential region where the supporting electrolyte is stable, reactions occur, resulting in the los ...
Gold nanoparticles were supported on activated carbon fibers (ACF) using the aq. soln. of [Au(en)2]Cl3 via ion-exchange with surface hydroxyl groups followed by redn. in H2. The obtained catalysts were tested in CO oxidn. at room temp. Surface phenolic gro ...
In large-eddy simulations (LESs) of atmospheric reacting flows, homogeneous and instantaneous mixing of reactants within a grid-cell is usually assumed. However, highly reactive species are often segregated or pre-mixed at small scales. In this paper, we p ...
As a consequence of inherently weak interactions between the chloride anion and the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation (ca. 15 kJ/mol), chloride dissociation from a transition-metal complex can be thermodynamically disfavored in ionic liquids. Therefore, w ...
The effect of pH on Pb bioaccumulation by Chlorella kesslerii was studied. Both Pb uptake fluxes and Pb bound to membrane transport sites increased with an increase in pH from 4.0-5.0, were relatively stable in the pH interval 5.0-6.5, and increased again ...
