Small molecule donor/polymer acceptor bulk-heterojunction films with both compounds strongly absorbing have great potential for further enhancement of the performance of organic solar cells. By employing a newly synthesized small molecule donor with a comm ...
Sulphur poisoning of nickel-based solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode catalysts is a well-documented shortcoming, but not yet fully understood. Here, a novel experiment is demonstrated to obtain spectroscopic information at operando conditions, in particula ...
Multielectron redox chemistry, which is essential in metal catalysed chemical transformations, is not easily accessible in lanthanide complexes. Here we explored the reductive chemistry of lanthanide complexes with tetradentate Schiff bases acting as redox ...
A hierarchically ordered 4,4'-biphenylene-bridged mesoporous organosilica framework (Bp-PMO) has been synthesized with the aim of using it as a new hybrid host for Ln(III) ions. A series of novel organic-inorganic luminescent hybrid materials have been obt ...
Homoleptic acetonitrile complexes [Nd(CH3CN)(9)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4), [Dy(CH3CN)(9)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4), and [Tm(CH3CN)(8)]Al(OC(CF3)(3))(4) have been studied in anhydrous acetonitrile by 14N and 1H NMR relaxation. Solvent-exchange rate constants ...
Two luminescent terbium and europium lanthanide chelates were efficiently embedded into silica nanoparticles by using a reverse microemulsion process. The incorporation was achieved without covalent bonding between the lanthanide chelates and the silica ma ...
The effect of body fluids inorganic species on element-specific dissolution of a Mg-Y-Rare earth elements (RE) alloy was investigated by flow microcapillary plasma mass spectrometry. A new important aspect of this method is the online monitoring of precipi ...
The lanthanide(III) complexes formed with the tri- and tetraacetate derivatives of bis(aminomethyl)phosphinic acid, L1 and L2, respectively, have been studied by pH potentiometry, spectrophotometry and 1H and 17O NMR spectroscopy. L1 forms [Ln(L1)], [Ln(L1 ...
This work demonstrates the rational design of a dedicated hydrolysis catalyst for application in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx. Modification of titania by lanthanum prior to gold deposition entailed highly improved catalytic activities for ...
A family of lanthanide complexes has been synthesized by the subcomponent self-assembly methodology. Molecular architectures, which were stable in solution and under ambient conditions, were designed by the in situ formation of ligands around lanthanide io ...
