The kinetics and oxidation products (OPs) of tramadol (TRA), an opioid, were investigated for its oxidation with ferrate (Fe(VI)) and ozone (O-3). The kinetics could be explained by the speciation of the tertiary amine moiety of TRA, with apparent second-o ...
The research proposal describes the spectroscopic technique to study the intermediate state of protonated peptides formed after the UV excitation. It was shown previously that with the assistance of the CO2 laser the side chain loss fragmentation was enhan ...
Two molecules containing two phenylphosphaalkene moieties linked by an anthracene (1) or by a naphthalene (2) ring have been synthesized and their crystal structures have been determined. While electrochemical measurements show that these two systems are e ...
The rich structural and reactivity profile of allenes render them versatile synthetic intermediates. However, application of allenes in organic chemistry is often attenuated by inconvenient methods of preparation. Herein we present an operationally simple ...
A temperature programmed treatment of MoO3 in flowing N-2 + H-2 has been employed to prepare beta-phase molybdenum nitride (beta-Mo2N) which has been used to promote, for the first time, the catalytic hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene. The reduction/ni ...
A summary of our on-going research on organometallic chemistry is provided with an emphasis on the function, reactivity and mechanisms of organometallic compounds in water, ionic liquids and in living systems. The role of organometallic compounds in both c ...
The mechanism of reaction between NO and two models of carbonaceous materials with active sites was investigated at the UB3LYP/6-31 + G(d) and UM06-2X theory levels. The small model is the anthracene radical and the large one is also a monoradical built wi ...
We describe a new method for the solvent-free synthesis of borohydrides at room temperature and demonstrate its feasibility by the synthesis of three of the most discussed borohydrides at present: LiBH4, Mg(BH 4)2 and Ca(BH4)2. This new gas-solid mechanoch ...
Ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a powerful tool to observe electronic and geometric structures of short-lived reaction intermediates. The ab initio FEFF9 code is applied to simulate the Pt L-3-edge XANES spectrum of the photocatalytic diplatinum ...
Tert.-Cyclobutanols were activated through an enantioselective rhodium(I)-catalyzed insertion into the C-C bond leading to arylrhodium species. These intermediates are converted by a C-H activation mechanism to arylrhodium species that are converted to ind ...
