The reaction of the tripodal tris-amido U(iii) complex [U(SiMe 2NPh)3-tacn] (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane), 1, with 0.0625 and 0.25 equiv. of elemental sulfur affords the sulfide-bridged U(iv) complex [U((SiMe2NPh)3-tacn)2(μ-S)], 2, and the terminal pers ...
The use of mixed self-assembled monolayers, combining hydrophobic co-adsorbents with the sensitizer, has been demonstrated to enhance the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Herein, the influence of the anchoring groups of the co-adsorbents on ...
Two main topics were addressed in this manuscript: (1) New methods for indoles and [3,4]-fused oxindoles syntheses; (2) Copper-catalyzed/mediated difunctionalization of alkenes with alkylnitriles. Given the omnipresent character of the indole and oxindole ...
The detailed description of gas streams in biomass gasification plants is necessary for the correct design and operation of these units. Sulfur containing compounds are usually present in biomass gasification gas, since sulfur is typically found in the fee ...
The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic drug piroxicam (LH) reacts with arene ruthenium dichloride dimers in refluxing dichloromethane to give the complexes [(eta(6)-arene)Ru(eta(2)-N,O-L)Cl] (3: arene = C6H5Me, 4: arene = p-MeC6H4Pri, 5: ar ...
The effect of metal-free chromophores on dye-sensitized solar cell performance is investigated. Solid state dye-sensitized solar cells (ssDSCs) using different molecular sensitizers based on triphenylamine (TPA) with thiophene linkers and different alkyl c ...
In this paper, we describe a novel methodology for fabricating conductive epoxy-polythiophene network films by simultaneous photoinduced step-growth and cationic ring opening polymerization processes. For this purpose, formulations containing a bifunctiona ...
The increasing progress in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology requires more versatile synthetic strategies for the generation of libraries of active compounds and theirs analogues. A wide range of biologically active natural and synthetic compounds c ...
In addition to the well-established nucleophilic alkynylation, the use of electrophilic alkynes can expand tremendously the scope of acetylene transfer reactions. The use of metal catalysis has recently led to a rebirth of this research area. Halogenoalkyn ...
The development of efficient synthetic methodologies is crucial to access complex molecules in an economic, eco-friendly and safe way. The reversal of the intrinsic reactivity of functional groups, called Umpolung, allows alternative synthetic strategies a ...
