The abundance of siderophile elements in the mantle preserves the signature of core formation. On the basis of partitioning experiments at high pressure (35 to 74 gigapascals) and high temperature (3100 to 4400 kelvin), we demonstrate that depletions of sl ...
Rarely reported low-cost molybdenum boride and carbide microparticles, both of which are available in abundant quantities due to their widespread use in industry, adsorb at aqueous acid–1,2-dichloroethane interfaces and efficiently catalyse the hydrogen ev ...
Formation energies and charge transition levels of amphoteric defects in GaAs giving rise to Fermi-level pinning are calculated with hybrid functionals. The hybrid functional results indicate that previously identified defects involving the bistable nature ...
When using natural or waste wood in thermo-chemical conversion processes, the presence of a number of heteroatoms (e.g. sulfur, chlorine, potassium and sodium or heavy metals) may hinder the processes themselves as well as pose a threat to equipment and/or ...
We present a systematic first-principles study of the equilibrium bond lengths, harmonic frequencies, dissociation energies, ground state symmetries, and spin state splittings of 22 diatomic molecules comprised of a first-row 3d transition-metal and a main ...
The transformation of lignin-derived phenolic compds. to alkanes was achieved using catalysts based on Bronsted acidic ionic liqs. (ILs). The catalytic system is composed of metal nanoparticles (NPs) and a functionalized Bronsted acidic IL immobilized in a ...
Pulse plating of nickel-tungsten alloys has been studied from two citrate ammonia based model electrolytes containing either an excess of nickel or an excess of tungsten. The alloy composition and current efficiency were determined for pulse periods rangin ...
In an attempt to quantify the extent of geochemical heterogeneity within a restricted and well dated portion of the upper mantle, 27 chromite separates from the 90 My old chromite deposits in the Mayari-Baracoa ophiolite belt in eastern Cuba have been inve ...
A review. In an effort to develop new tripodal N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands for small mol. activation, two new classes of tripodal NHC ligands TIMER and TIMENR were synthesized. The C-anchored tris(carbene) ligand system TIMER (R = Me, t-Bu) forms ...
This review commences with a survey of the general synthetic routes leading to aminophosphines containing the P-NH subgroup. Recent examples involving functionalised and chiral aminophosphines are included. The synthesis and structural properties of deprot ...
