Borophosphonate Cages: Easily Accessible and Constitutionally Dynamic Heterocubane Scaffolds

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Laure Menin, Konstantin Zhurov, Justus Tönnemann

A versatile and experimentally facile procedure for the synthesis of borophosphonate cages of the general formula [tBuPO3BR′]4 is described. The method involves heating of tert-butylphosphonic acid with a boronic acid in toluene to give borophosphonates in ...

Metal-based Chemosensors for Carbohydrates and Biologically Important Ligands

Vera Janowski

Chemosensors based on indicator displacement were developed for the optical detection of different analytes in aqueous solution. The sensing of carbohydrates, including glucose, in aqueous solution at pH 7.4 was achieved by a fluorescent indicator displace ...

Direct Alkynylation of Thiophenes: Cooperative Activation of TIPS–EBX with Gold and Brønsted Acids

Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand

United we stand! Cooperative activation of the hypervalent-iodine reagent TIPS-EBX with a gold catalyst and a Brønsted acid allowed the first direct ethynylation of thiophenes at room temperature (see scheme; TFA=trifluoroacetic acid). The obtained ethynyl ...

In vivo study of an injectable poly(acrylonitrile)-based hydrogel paste as a bulking agent for the treatment of urinary incontinence

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Lionel Ambroise Micol

Urinary incontinence can be treated by endoscopic injection of bulking agents, however, no optimal therapeutic effect has been achieved upon this treatment yet. In the present study, the development of a injectable poly(acrylonitrile) hydrogel paste is des ...

Void reactivity coefficient benchmark results for a 10x10 BWR assembly in the full 0-100% void fraction range

Rakesh Chawla, Fabian Jatuff, Flavio Dante Giust

A boiling water reactor SVEA-96+ fresh fuel lattice has been used as the basis for a benchmark study of the void reactivity coefficient at assembly level in the full voidage range. Results have been obtained using the deterministic codes CASMO-4, HELIOS, P ...

Surfactant-free synthesis of mesoporous and hollow silica nanoparticles with an inorganic template

Barbora Bártová

A surfactant-free synthesis of mesoporous and hollow silica nanoparticles is reported in which boron acts as the templating agent. Using such a simple and mild procedure as a treatment with water, the boron-rich phase is selectively removed, affording meso ...
