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 ...
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 energy costs assocd. with large-scale industrial sepn. of light hydrocarbons by cryogenic distn. could potentially be lowered through development of selective solid adsorbents that operate at higher temps. Here, the metal-org. framework Fe2(dobdc) (dob ...
Passive samplers for polar organic compounds often use a polyethersulfone (PES) membrane to retain the particulate sorbent material (e.g., in a POCIS; polar organic chemical integrative sampler) or to reduce the sampling rate and thus extend the kinetic re ...
Norrish-type-II reaction on a semiquinone radical: Stable semiquinone radicals serve as novel molecular platforms on which a Norrish-type-II photoreaction can be initiated. A detailed reaction scheme involving a 1,5-hydrogen transfer followed by a cyclizat ...
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 ...
The continuous progress in medicinal chemistry requires more versatile synthetic strategies for the generation of large libraries of active compounds and their analogues. As a result, the research for new effective cyclization and cycloaddition reactions i ...
A Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) computational investigation of the catalytic mechanism of the human glutathione transferase A3-3 (hGSTA3-3) has been carried out. The results demonstrate that the isomerization reaction is concerted, but high ...
Using density functional theory with a van der Waals-corrected functional, we elucidate how CO 2 binds to a novel "BTT-type" metal-organic framework (MOF) featuring open metal centers. We show that CO 2 binds most favorably to open metal cation sites, but ...
Various oxidants such as chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ferrateVI, ozone, and hydroxyl radicals can be applied for eliminating organic micropollutant by oxidative transformation during water treatment in systems such as drinking water, wastewater, and water r ...
