With four site: Catalytic olefin hydrogenation is observed with palladium complexes when the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand is changed from the normal C2- to the unusual C4-bonding mode (see scheme). In a cis coordinating framework, the electron density at ...
A novel composite material based on carbon nanofibers (CNF) grown on sintered metal fibers (SMFInconel) filter was investigated for its favorable properties as catalytic support. The CNF were formed directly over the SMFInconel by thermal (650 degrees C) c ...
The cationic organometallic aqua complexes formed by hydrolysis of [(C 6H6)RuCl2]2 in water, mainly [(C6H6)Ru(H2O)3]2+, intercalate into sodium hectorite by ion exchange, replacing the sodium cations between the anionic silicate layers. The yellow hectorit ...
Two org. dyes with the general structure donor-conjugated chain-acceptor (D-π-A) were studied as sensitizers for nanocryst. TiO2 solar cells. The electron donor and acceptor groups were pyrrolidine and cyano acrylic acid, resp. The conjugated chain of 2-cy ...
Recent advances in the liquid-phase synthesis of metal nanostructures of different sizes and shapes are reviewed regarding their catalytic properties. The controlled synthesis of nanostructures is based on the colloid chemistry techniques in the solution, ...
Monodispersed Pd nanoparticles of 5 and 10 nm were obtained via reduction of Pd(acac)2 dissolved in ionic liquid (IL), [bmim][PF6], or [bmimOH][TF2N], supported on carbon nanofibers (CNF) anchored to sintered metal fibers (SMF). Using [bmimOH][TF2N], the m ...
Eleven novel donor acceptor π-conjugated (D-π-A) org. dyes were engineered and synthesized as sensitizers for the application in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The electron-donating moieties are substituted tetrahydroquinoline, and the electron-withdr ...
Heterocyclic polyaromatic compounds, including dinaphthofurans, 2-(2-naphthalenyl)benzothiophene, methylated chrysene, and benz[a]anthracene, were identified and confirmed as major cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A)-inducing compounds in a contaminated sediment clo ...
Various top-down, bottom-up, and hybrid fabrication routes of discontinuous palladium nano and mesostructures can be used for the fabrication of resistor based H2 sensing devices. 1D, 2D, and 3D structures can be achieved using appropriate material templat ...
