Colloidal Nanocrystals as Precursors and Intermediates in Solid State Reactions for Multinary Oxide Nanomaterials

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Valeria Mantella

Polyelemental compounds with dimensions in the nanosized regime are desirable in a large variety of applications, yet their synthesis remains a general challenge in chemistry. One of the major bottlenecks to obtaining multinary systems is the complexity of ...

Catalyst Proximity-Induced Functionalization of h-BN with Quat Derivatives

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Gabriele Tocci, Bart Willem Stel, Huanyao Cun

Inert single-layer boron nitride (h-BN) grown on a catalytic metal may be functionalized with quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) that are widely used as nonreactive electrolytes. We observe that the quat treatment, which facilitates the electrochemical ...

Nickamine and Analogous Nickel Pincer Catalysts for Cross-Coupling of Alkyl Halides and Hydrosilylation of Alkenes

Xile Hu, Zhikun Zhang, Renyi Shi

CONSPECTUS: Ligand development plays an essential role in the advance of homogeneous catalysis. Tridentate, meridionally coordinating ligands, commonly termed pincer ligands, have been established as a privileged class of ligands in catalysis because they ...

Intricacies of Cation-Anion Combinations in Imidazolium Salt-Catalyzed Cycloaddition of CO2 Into Epoxides

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Florent Menoud, Martin Hulla, Dmitry Vasilyev, Sami Manoubi Armand Chamam

The cycloaddition of CO2 into epoxides catalyzed by imidazolium and related salts continues to attract attention due to the industrial importance of the cyclic carbonate products. The mechanism of the imidazolium-catalyzed transformation has been proposed ...

Chemical Distribution of Multiple Cation (Rb+, Cs+, MA(+), and FA(+)) Perovskite Materials by Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, Silver Hamill Turren Cruz

Lead-based mixed perovskite materials have emerged in the last couple of years as promising photovoltaic materials. Recently, it was shown that improved material stability can be achieved by incorporating small amounts of inorganic cations (Cs+ and Rb+), p ...

Phosphonium and Ammonium Ionic Liquids with Aromatic Anions: Synthesis, Properties, and Platinum Extraction

Michael Groessl

Several hydrophobic long-chain quaternary ammonium and phosphonium ionic liquids (ILs) with functionalized aromatic anions were prepared following a metathesis route using tricaprylmethylammonium chloride (Aliquat 336) and trihexyl(tetradecyl) phosphonium ...

Ultrafast Optical and X-ray Absorption Studies of Solvation Dynamics

Van Thai Pham

Solvation dynamics, the process of solvent reorganization upon electronic excitation of a solute, is central to our understanding chemical reactions in liquid phase. Ultrafast optical studies of solvation dynamics have so far been carried out on polyatomic ...

Phosphodiester Cleavage in Ribonuclease H Occurs via an Associative Two-Metal-Aided Catalytic Mechanism

Matteo Dal Peraro

Ribonuclease H (RNase H) belongs to the nucleotidyl-transferase (NT) superfamily and hydrolyzes the phosphodiester linkages that form the backbone of the RNA strand in RNA x DNA hybrids. This enzyme is implicated in replication initiation and DNA topology ...

A theoretical study on the formation of EX4+ and E2X5+ (E = P, As; X = Br, I) from Ag+ and EX3/X2

The mechanism and the thermodn. of the formation of EX2+, EX4+ and E2X5+ (E = As, P; X = Br, I) was carefully analyzed with MP2/TZVPP calcns. and inclusion of entropy and solvation effects (COSMO model approximating CH2Cl2). Thus, as likely intermediates t ...
