Described is a compound having the structure (I), (II) or (V), Formulae(I), (II), (V), wherein R1 is -H, -CH2OH or -CH(OH)CH2OH; R2 is -H, -OH, or -CH2OH; R3 is -H, -OH, or -CH2OH; n is 0 or 1; p is 0 or 1; R10 is hydrogen or a hydrocarbon moiety with 1 to ...
The deposition of particles and substances in air is under strong influence of the precipitation patterns of the atmosphere. Most multimedia models, like type III Mackay models, treat rain as a continuous phenomenon. This may cause severe overestimation of ...
Water is ubiquitous on Earth, playing a critical role for a plethora of structures, processes and chemical reactions in nature. Its unique physicochemical properties originate mainly from its hydrogen bond network. Despite its recognized importance, many a ...
A method for the Friedel-Crafts-type insertion reaction of acetylene with acid chlorides in chloroaluminate ionic liquids is presented. The use of Ionic liquids not only serves to avoid the use of carbon tetrachloride or 1,2-dichloroethane but also suppres ...
A slice of the Havero meteorite which belongs to the ureilite class known to contain graphite and diamond was cut and then polished as a thin section using a diamond paste. We identified two carbonaceous areas which were standing out by more than 10 pm in ...
Based on previous findings (Jans, U., Hoigne, J., 1998. Ozone Sci. Eng. 20, 67-87), the activity of activated carbon for the transformation of ozone into e OH radicals including the influence of operational parameters (carbon dose, ozone dose, carbon-type ...
The solvent-induced structural rearrangement of synthetic supramolecular structures typically requires a pronounced change in solvent polarity. We describe a ruthenium-based coordination cage, whose geometry and topology can be altered dramatically by usin ...
The reaction mechanism on the formation of the hydrosulfido complex [Re(SH)(CO)(3)(bipy)] via the reaction of [Re(OH)(CO)(3)(bipy)] with carbon disulfide was theoretically investigated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) (LANL2DZ+f for Re) level of theory taking int ...
In this paper, we introduce the ECHAM5-HAMMOZ aerosol- chemistry-climate model that includes fully interactive simulations of Ox-NOx-hydrocarbons chemistry and of aerosol microphysics (including prognostic size distribution and mixing state of aerosols) im ...
Unique worldwide, Lake Kivu stores enormous amounts of CH4 and CO2. A recent study reported that CH4 concentrations in the lake have increased by up to 15% in the last 30 years and that accumulation at this rate could lead to catastrophic outgassing by sim ...
