Organocatalysts in C-N Bond Forming Reactions of Amines with CO2

Martin Hulla

The thesis describes a simple approach for N-formylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilane reducing agents, the use of organic salts as N-formylation catalysts, their physical properties required for high catalytic activity and their role in the catalytic ...

Experimental evidence for long-range stabilizing and destabilizing interactions between charge and radical sites in distonic ions

Ganna Gryn'ova

Polarizable radical sites in distonic radical anions are stabilized by ostensibly remote negative charges. Computational evidence suggests bond dissociation energies of closed-shell precursors are significantly lowered by through-space interactions with a ...

It has been more than 40 years since Fujishima and Honda demonstrated water splitting using TiO2, yet there is still no clear mechanism by which surface holes on TiO2 oxidize water. In this paper, we use a range of complementary techniques to study this re ...

On the implications of aerosol liquid water and phase separation for organic aerosol mass

Athanasios Nenes, Hairun Guo

Organic compounds and liquid water are major aerosol constituents in the southeast United States (SE US). Water associated with inorganic constituents (inorganic water) can contribute to the partitioning medium for organic aerosol when relative humidities ...

Accelerated methylene blue (MB) degradation by Fenton reagent exposed to UV or VUV/UV light in an innovative micro photo-reactor

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Mengkai Li

This study presents the accelerated discoloration/degradation of methylene blue (MB) in solution by Fenton reagent under exposure to ultraviolet (UV) or Vacuum-UV/UV (VUV/UV) light in an innovative micro photo-reactor. The MB degradation was kinetically fa ...

Surprising acidity of hydrated lithium cations in organic solvents

Hubert Girault, Liang Qiao, Pekka Eero Peljo, Thomas James Stockmann, Haiqiang Deng

Lithium cations are shown to have a significant role on catalyzing oxygen and proton reduction along with SN1 reactions in biphasic systems. We propose that this catalytic effect is due to the surprising acidity of the hydrated cations; interactions betwee ...
