Time-resolved Optical Kerr Effect (OKE) measurements were used to det. the orientational dynamics of water and acetonitrile in the bulk and in pores of ZrO2 nanostructured films. The expts. were performed with a home-built OKE microscope, capable of provid ...
This thesis is concerned with supramolecular architectures assembled at metal surfaces. The investigations pursued two objectives. On the one hand, the focus was placed on the fabrication of low-dimensional surface-supported network structures by applying ...
We have performed a direct measurement of one of the most fundamental thermochemical values: the O-H bond energy in water. Using a triple-resonance laser excitation scheme, we excite the molecule through a series of vibrational overtone transitions to acce ...
Reaction pathways during CO2 hydrogenation catalyzed by the Ru dihydride complex [Ru(dmpe)2H2] (dmpe=Me2PCH2CH2PMe2) have been studied by DFT calculations and by IR ...
A highly efficient palladium-catalyzed synthesis of unsym. substituted 3-(diarylmethylenyl)indolinones from readily accessible starting materials is developed. The domino reaction involves a sequence of intermol. carbopalladation, C-H activation, and C-C b ...
The work presented in this paper deals with the bonding of small structures, down to 1 mu m. Its aim is to evaluate the dimensional limits of anodic bonding between silicon and pyrex 7740 glass. Test structures consisting in silicon pillars with controlled ...
Hydrogen-bonding strengths in the solid state are quantitatively determined by the accurate measurement of (15)N-(15)N J couplings using a straightforward 2D MAS NMR spin-echo approach. ...
Natural bond orbital (NBO) and topological electron density analyses have been used to investigate the electronic structure of phosphazenes [N3P3R6] (R = H, F, Cl, Br, CH3, CF3, N(C2H4< ...
The work presented in this paper deals with the bonding of small structures, down to 1 mu m. Its aim is to evaluate the dimensional limits of anodic bonding between silicon and pyrex 7740 glass. Test structures consisting in silicon pillars with controlled ...
Good quality ab initio calcns. (MP2) show that the water adducts of BX3 and CX3+ have totally different structures (X = F-I). While all H2O-BX3 complexes have classical Cs sym. structures with strong B-O bonds and addnl. H-bonding, the heavier CX3+ cations ...
