LiBH4 has been discussed as a promising hydrogen storage material and as a solid-state electrolyte in lithiumion batteries. It contains 18.5 wt% hydrogen and undergoes a structural phase transition at 381K which is associated with a large increase in rotat ...
A novel polyol synthesis was adopted to synthesize nano-structured LiMnPO4. This route yields well-crystallized nanoparticles with platelet morphology that are only similar to 30 nm thick oriented in the b direction. The obtained material presented a good ...
The system AgNO3 and L (L = ethanediyl bis(isonicotinate)) yielded so far five different compounds from a THF/H2O mixture (or acetonitrile) when reacted in a ratio 1:1. Three solvent-free compounds possess the same chemical composition, [Ag(L)NO3], but dif ...
This article provides insight into the various factors by which electroneg. substituents affect the kinetic acidity of arenes and, more specifically, naphthalenes. Both 1- and 2-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalenes were consecutively treated with an organometalli ...
Alternative cathode materials were investigated for application to high voltage lithium ion batteries. Manganese based materials were considered due to the low cost and environmentally sustainable impact. Layer-structured oxide and phospho-olivine material ...
(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)trimethyl- and -triethylsilane exhibit untypical reactivity patterns toward strong bases. When treated at -100 DegC with lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide, they give rise to two, with sec- or tert-butyllithium even three, different ...
1-Fluoro-2-(triethylsilyl)naphthalene and other 1-fluoronaphthalene derivs. bearing a metalation-resistant substituent at the 2-position proved to be totally inert toward base attack. 3-Bromo-1-fluoronaphthalene, readily prepd. from a 2-bromo isomer by dep ...
We investigated the localized rotational diffusion of the (BH 4)- anions in LiBH4/LiI solid solutions by means of quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering. The (BH 4)- motions are thermally activated and characterized by activation energies in the ord ...
LiMnPO4 (olivine) was surface-modified by two different complexes: Ru-bis(4,4'-diethoxycarbonyl-2,2'-bipyridine)(4,4'-dicarboxylate-2,2'-bipyridine) and Ru-bis(4-carboxylic acid-4'-carboxylate-2,2'-bipyridine)(4,4'-dinonyl-2,2'bipyridine). These complexes ...
