The acid-base properties of surfaces significantly influence catalytic and (photo)electrochemical processes. Estimation of acid dissociation constants (pKa values) for colloids is commonly performed through electroanalytical techniques or spectroscopic met ...
The recent discovery of an N2O-based synthesis of triazenes in our group has enabled the synthesis and investigation of 1-alkynyl triazenes. Early studies showed their potential for a functional group tolerant synthesis of 1-vinyl triazenes, which is furth ...
The complexes [Co (NH3)(6)][Ir (C2O4)(3)] and [Ir(NH3)(6)][Co (C2O4)(3)center dot H2O have previously been synthesized and their thermal properties studied. The [Ir(NH3)(6)][Ir(C2O4)(3)] and [Co(NH3)(6)][Co(C2O4)(3)]center dot 3H(2)O complexes considered h ...
The immobilization of molecular catalysts imposes spatial constraints on their active site. We reveal that in bifunctional catalysis such constraints can also be utilized as an appealing handle to boost intrinsic activity through judicious control of the a ...
The influence of hydrothermal aging on the structural and catalytic properties of two commercial Fe-exchanged zeolite catalysts (Fe-FER and Fe-ZSM-5) in the extruded form employed for the removal of N2O from the exhaust of nitric acid production plants has ...
Over the last few years, thanks to rapid development of molecular engineering and perovskite composition, it has allowed extremely promising solar energy conversion to achieve a certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of over 25% for perovskite solar c ...
ABSTRACT: Our bodies produce a host of electrophilic species that can label specific endogenous proteins in cells. The signaling roles of these molecules are under active debate. However, in our opinion, it is becoming increasingly likely that electrophile ...
In the present work, photocatalytic degradations of o-nitrophenol (ONP) and p-nitrophenol (PNP) were carried out using CoO-Fe2O3@SiO2@TiO2 nanocomposite as an efficient and cost-effective photocatalyst under simulated solar irradiation. Due to the acid-bas ...
In this study, photocatalytic degradation of 2-nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol were carried out efficiently using ZnO nanoparticles photo-catalyst under simulated solar irradiation. The photo-decomposition processes were optimized simultaneously by employing ...
Tetrel Lewis acids are a prospective alternative to commonly employed neutral boranes in frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry. While cationic tetrylium Lewis acids, being isolobal and iso(valence)electronic, are a natural replacement to boranes, neutral t ...
