Novel and environmentally benign Bronsted acidic ionic liqs. with SO3-H functionality were prepd. using N-methylimidazole, pyridine, triethylamine and 1,4-butanesultone as the source chems. The prepd. ionic liq. catalysts were characterized by NMR and thei ...
The photodegradation of phenol and dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) by \ce{BiVO4} was studied in the absence as well as presence of selected electron scavengers. The experiments were performed under the visible (vis) irradiation of aqueous solutions over a wide ...
A series of europium(III) and terbium(III) complexes of three 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-based pyridine containing ligands were synthesized. The three ligands differ from each other in the substitution of the pyridine pendant arm, namely they have a carboxyli ...
The ability of ferrate (Fe(Vl)) to oxidize phenolic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and phenols during water treatment was examined by determining the apparent second-order rate constants (k(app)) for the reaction of Fe(VI) with selected environmenta ...
The formation of bromophenols during chlorination of phenol- and bromide-containing waters can be critical for taste and odour problems in drinking waters. The work performed has confirmed that flavour threshold concentrations of some bromophenols are in t ...
Alcohols, phenols and carboxylic acids are silylated with very good yields in the presence of silyl methallylsulfinates under non- basic conditions and with the formation of volatile co-products. ...
Phenol and melamine-formaldehyde (PF and MF) cellulose composites are being used extensively in the laminate industry. Despite their many advantages, flat panels produced from such materials have a tendency to warp immediately after processing as well as d ...
(2-Fluorophenyl)trimethylsilane (2-F) and (2-chlorophenyl)trimethylsilane (2-Cl) react with sec-butyllithium or lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide under permutational hydrogen/metal interconversion (metalation) more slowly than, resp., the corresponding ...
Oxidation of the antimicrobial agent triclosan by aqueous ozone (O-3) was investigated to determine associated reaction kinetics, reaction site(s), and consequent changes in antibacterial activity of triclosan. Specific second-order rate constants, k(O3), ...
Provided is a process for prepn. of asym. substituted biaryldiphosphine ligands I (R1 = C1-6-alkyl, C3-10-cycloalkyl optionally substituted with one or more halogen atoms; R2, R3 = aryl, C5-10-cycloalkyl, C1-6-alkyl, or R2 = C5-10-cycloalkyl, C1-6-alkyl; R ...
