Nano- and thin-film technologies based on novel systems associating metals particles to polymer matrix open a broad range of different applications. Such composites were found to be more efficient and safe, for instance, in biomedical needs. The Ag/poly(N- ...
Biphasic and multiphasic processes have emerged as effective methods to reduce the amount of volatile organic solvents used in the manufacture of chemicals. In this article some of the research conducted in my laboratory in this domain utilizing ionic liqu ...
Many low oxidation state transition metal (carbonyl) clusters are salts and are highly soluble in ionic liquids. Since many are also effective catalysts/precatalysts for hydrogenation reactions, we have conducted a catalytic study of these compounds in ion ...
Even unsubstituted butadiene adds to sulfur dioxide in the hetero-Diels-Alder mode more rapidly than in the chelotropic mode. The sultine can be observed in equilibrium with the diene and the sulfur dioxide only at low temperature and in the presence of CF ...
The low-pressure cold microwave (MW) plasma is shown as an efficient method to increase acidity of the ACF within less than 1 min treatment without affecting the fiber morphol. and strength. The ion-exchange capacity was 1.6 times higher compared to the no ...
Gold nanoparticles of 2–5 nm supported on woven fabrics of activated carbon fibers (ACF) were effective during CO oxidation at room temperature. To obtain a high metal dispersion, Au was deposited on ACF from aqueous solution of ethylenediamine complex [Au ...
This thesis describes some of three years'work carried at the Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique (Neuchâtel, Switzerland) under the supervision of Dr. Martha Liley and in collaboration with Prof. Horst Vogel of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédéra ...
The diphosphane-substituted clusters [Ru-3(CO)(10)(dppe)] and [Ru-3(CO)(8)(dppe)(2)] [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane] are shown to catalytically hydrogenate diphenylacetylene. This process is highly solvent-dependent with fragmentation dominating ...
This review seeks to evaluate the role of low oxidation state transition metal clusters (metal carbonyl clusters) in catalysis. The review commences with a discussion of the cluster surface analogy and then proceeds to discuss whether catalysis takes place ...
Gold nanoparticles were supported on activated carbon fibers (ACF) using the aq. soln. of [Au(en)2]Cl3 via ion-exchange with surface hydroxyl groups followed by redn. in H2. The obtained catalysts were tested in CO oxidn. at room temp. Surface phenolic gro ...
