Plasmonic photochemistry has a large potential to replace energy-intensive chemical processes with low-temperature, low-pressure light-driven chemical reactions. Plasmonic nanostructures have emerged as promising photocatalysts with exceptional and tunable ...
The magnetic moment of rare earth elements originates from electrons in the partially filled 4f orbitals. Accessing this moment electrically by scanning tunneling spectroscopy is hampered by shielding of outerlying orbitals. Here, we show that we can detec ...
The biological N-2-fixation process is catalyzed exclusively by metallocofactor-containing nitrogenases. Structural and spectroscopic studies highlighted the presence of an additional mononuclear metal-binding (MMB) site, which can coordinate Fe in additio ...
In the FeGP cofactor of [Fe]-hydrogenase, low-spin Fe-II is in complex with two CO ligands and a pyridinol derivative; the latter ligates the iron with a 6-acylmethyl substituent and the pyridinol nitrogen. A guanylylpyridinol derivative, 6-carboxymethyl-3 ...
Carboxymethyl cellulose/copper oxide-nickel oxide (CMC/CuO-NiO) nanocomposite beads were prepared by facile, simple and environmentally friendlymethod. Initially, CuO-NiOwas prepared and applied for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The resu ...
Prussian blue (PB) and Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are commonly synthesized by conventional methods, such as chemical precipitation, thermal decomposition, and electrochemical deposition. Herein, we have successfully synthesized Prussian blue by oxidati ...
Novel supramolecular gelators based on quinoline-indolin-2-one structure were synthesized. These gelators formed stable organogels in a mixture of DMSO/H2O (1:1). The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IR and NMR spectroscopies, and rheological measuremen ...
Hydrogenases are promising templates for constructing new H-2-based catalysts. [Fe]-hydrogenase, which features an ironguanylylpyridinol (FeGP) cofactor, catalyses a reversible hydride transfer from H-2 to methenyl-tetrahydromethanopterin (methenyl-H4MPT+, ...
Iron phthalocyanine (FePc) is a molecular semiconductor whose building blocks are 1D ferromagnetic chains. It is shown that its optical and magnetic properties are controlled by the growth strategy, obtaining extremely high coercivities of over 1 T and mod ...
Currently, the most active electrocatalysts for the conversion of CO2 to CO are gold-based nanomaterials, whereas non-precious metal catalysts have shown low to modest activity. Here, we report a catalyst of dispersed single-atom iron sites that produces C ...
