The design of novel heterogeneous catalysts with multiple adjacent functionalities is of high interest to heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report a method to obtain a majority of bifunctional acid-base pairs on SBA15. Aniline reacts with SBA15 by openin ...
Copper(II) is known to catalyze the generation of reactive nitrogen species in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, nitrite or nitric oxide, leading to tyrosine nitration, a biomarker for free radical species associated diseases. Here, we find that biologica ...
Regioselective electrophilic substitution reactions of the iridabenzofurans [Ir(C7H5O{OMe-7})(CO)(PPh3)(2)]-[OTf] (1) and IrCl(C7H5O{OMe-7})(PPh3)(2) (2) provide a convenient route to mononitro-, dinitro-, and mixed nitro-/halo- substituted derivatives. Tr ...
The influence of oxygen content on the properties of cathodic arc-deposited AlCr(OxN1-x) coatings has been studied. All samples were prepared in a nitrogen-rich mixture of N-2 and O-2 at 550 degrees C using lateral rotating arc cathodes (LARC) technology t ...
Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) films have attracted immense attention for both fundamental and applied research. A SAM is composed of a large number of molecules with a head group that chemisorbs onto a substrate, a tail group that interacts with the outer ...
We introduce a new quantum mechanics/mol. mechanics based method to drive electron transfer reactions. Our approach uses the dynamically restrained electrostatic potential derived charges of the quantum atoms as a reaction coordinate, and allows an estn. o ...
A tetragonal molybdenum nitride (β-Mo2N) has been prepared by temperature programmed treatment of MoO3 in flowing N2 + H2 and for the first time shown to catalyze the liquid phase selective hydrogenation (T = 423 K; PH2=11bar) of a series of para-substitut ...
A tetragonal molybdenum nitride (beta-Mo2N) has been prepared by temperature programmed treatment of MoO3 in flowing N-2 + H-2 and for the first time shown to catalyze the liquid phase selective hydrogenation (T = 423 K; P-H2 = 11 bar) of a series of para- ...
Glycoproteins and glycolipids are major components of the outer surface of mammalian cells. Their carbohydrate moieties, which are directed into the outer environment, serve as ligands for receptor proteins, such as lectins, pathogen proteins and antibodie ...
Reduction of CO2 by electrochemical and photoelectrochemical methods to produce carbon-rich fuels is a heavily pursued research theme. Most of the current efforts are focused on the development of transition-metal-based catalysts. In this tutorial review, ...
