Metal ions and compounds are essential to life and many people routinely take them as food supplements in the form of vitamin and mineral pills. Most non-essential metals are considered to be toxic, nevertheless, many are widely used in imaging, diagnostic ...
An octadentate ligand based on triazacyclononane and 8-hydroxyquinolinate/ phenolate binding units leads to very soluble, highly stable lanthanide complexes. The monoaquagadolinium complex shows a high relaxivity as a result of the unusually long rotationa ...
The Laboratory for Computational Molecular Design at ISIC devises original and accurate methodologies to establish, in silico, key structure property relationships of large chemical systems with particular emphasis on those associated with pi-conjugated fr ...
A method for predicting selective performance of an adsorbent is disclosed. The adsorbent is selected from a list of metals and/or metal cations for use in removing contaminants as thiophene derivatives in hydrocarbon feed. The metals or metal cations are ...
A multifaceted approach was presented to study H2 adsorption in both copper- and silver-exchanged SSZ-13 and for comparison the host framework SSZ-13. Low-pressure gas adsorption measurements revealed an increased H2 uptake in the cation-exchanged zeolites ...
The reactivity of five di-n-butyltin(IV) complexes, n-Bu2Sn(OR)(2) (1), n-Bu2SnO (3), n-Bu2Sn(OR)O (4), (n-Bu2SnO)(2)(CO2) (6) and (n-Bu2SnO)(6)(n-Bu2SnOR)(2)(CO3) (7) (R = CH3), with CO2, suggested as possible catalyst precursors and key-interme ...
The multicomponent reaction of diboronic acids with a catechol and a tripyridyl linker results in the formation trigonal prismatic cages. The cages feature six dative boron–nitrogen bonds as structure-directing elements. The size of the cages can be varied ...
A cyclic tetranuclear cyclometallated iridium(III) complex using cyanide anions as bridging ligands and displaying a tetrahedrally distorted square geometry has been obtained with high yield; photo- and electrochemical characterizations show that most inte ...
Detailed neutron powder diffraction (NPD) expts. were carried out on the parent and CO2 adsorbed Mg-MOF-74 (MOF: metal-org. framework). Data collected at low temp. revealed two CO2 adsorption sites on the pore surface and multiple changes in the framework ...
Molecular self-assembly at metal surfaces has been recognized as an efficient strategy to create supramolecular nanoarchitectures with promising functionalities. The focus of this thesis lies on the strong electron accepting molecule 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquin ...
