Catalyst design for the transformation of CO2 into value-added products.

Felix Daniel Bobbink

The mass-utilization of fossil resources has led to a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) production, most of which is released directly into the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in global warming. Efforts to contain CO2 emissions and to capture, store ...

Four-electron Reduction and Functionalization of N₂ by a Uranium(III) Bridging Nitride

Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone

N2 is a cheap and widely available but very unreactive molecule. Notably, the only industrial process for the conversion of dinitrogen is the Haber-Bosch process to form ammonia, but under very harsh conditions (high temperature and pressure). Here, we rev ...

Sputtered Gum metal thin films showing bacterial inactivation and biocompatibility

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

Super-elastic Titanium based thin films Ti-23Nb-0.7Ta-2Zr-(O) (TNTZ-O) and Ti-24Nb-(N) (TN-N) (at.%) were deposited by direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) in different reactive atmospheres. The effects of oxygen doping (TNTZ-O) and/or nitrogen dopin ...

Gold-Catalyzed Alkynylation: Acetylene-Transfer instead of Functionalization

Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand, Yifan Li

Over the last fifteen years, gold has been raised from the status of an inert noble metal to one of the most-often-used catalysts in synthetic chemistry. The functionalization of the triple bond of alkynes has been especially successful in this respect. In ...

Tailoring band gaps of insulators by adsorption at surface defects: Benzoic acids on NaCl surfaces

Wei Chen

The adsorption of benzoic acid and its OH-substituted derivatives, namely, salicylic acid (SA) and parasalicylic acid on various NaCl surfaces has been investigated by density-functional theory with hybrid exchange-correlation functional. The ideal NaCl (1 ...

Novel catalytic applications of carbon nanofibers on sintered metal fibers filters as structured supports

Marina Ruta

Supported metal catalysts are important from both an industrial and a scientific point of view. They are used, amongst others, in large-scale processes such as catalytic reforming, hydrotreating, polymerization reactions and hydrogenations. Often, these ca ...

Silyl-mediated halogen/halogen displacement in pyridines and other heterocycles

Fabrice Cottet

Heating with bromotrimethylsilane converts 2-chloropyridine into 2-bromopyridine and 2-chloro-6-methylpyridine into 2-bromo-6-methylpyridine. Both 2-chloropyridines and 2-bromopyridines give the corresponding iodo compd. when treated with in situ generated ...

Electronic properties of nano-crystalline titanium dioxide thin films

Alain Bally

Titanium dioxide is a cheap, chemically stable and non-toxic material. However its electrical properties are unstable and it is a modest semiconductor and a mediocre insulator. For several applications it would be interesting to make it either more insulat ...
