Reactions of hypobromous acid with dimethyl selenide, dimethyl diselenide and other organic selenium compounds: kinetics and product formation

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for many living organisms particularly due to its unique redox properties. We recently found that the sulfur (S) analog for dimethyl selenide (DMSe), i.e. dimethyl sulfide (DMS), reacts fast with the marine oxida ...

Synthesis and Reactivity of an Anionic Diazoolefin

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Bastiaan Kooij, Zhaowen Dong

Bent (hetero)allenes such as carbodicarbenes and carbodiphosphoranes can act as neutral C-donor ligands, and diverse applications in coordination chemistry have been reported. N-Heterocyclic diazoolefins are heterocumulenes, which can function in a similar ...

Reactivity of Multimetallic Thorium Nitrides Generated by Reduction of Thorium Azides

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Luciano Barluzzi, Fang-Che Hsueh

Thorium nitrides are likely intermediates in the reported cleavage and functionalization of dinitrogen by molecular thorium complexes and are attractive compounds for the study of multiple bond formation in f-element chemistry, but only one example of thor ...

Design, synthesis, reactivity, and magnetic properties of uranium based oxide and nitride complexes

Luciano Barluzzi

The activation of small molecules is a paramount challenge in modern chemistry. The use of cheap and abundant molecules such as N2, H2, CO2, or CO as energy supplies or as precursors for fine chemicals production is highly desirable. In particular, the onl ...

Confinement of fluorine anions in nickel-based catalysts for greatly enhancing oxygen evolution activity

Yun Tong, Pengzuo Chen

Herein, we highlighted fluorine-anion-modification as a useful method for enhancing OER catalytic activity. Fluorine-anion-doped Ni foam exhibits an almost 10-fold enhancement in OER catalytic activity. Moreover, fluorine-anion-modification could be used a ...

Small molecule activation by multimetallic uranium complexes supported by siloxide ligands

Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone, Luciano Barluzzi

The synthesis and reactivity of uranium compounds supported by the tris-tert-butoxysiloxide ligand is surveyed. The multiple binding modes of the tert-butoxysiloxide ligand have proven very well suited to stabilize highly reactive homo- and heteropolymetal ...

Surface Characterization of Colloidal Silica Nanoparticles by Second Harmonic Scattering: Quantifying the Surface Potential and Interfacial Water Order

Sylvie Roke, Arianna Marchioro, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks, Marie Bischoff

The microscopic description of the interface of colloidal particles in solution is essential to understand and predict the stability of these systems, as well as their chemical and electrochemical reactivity. However, this description often relies on the u ...

Metal-Free Electrophilic Alkynylation of Sulfenate Anions with Ethynylbenziodoxolone Reagents

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Franck Le Vaillant, Alec Gagnebin, Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos

Alkynyl sulfoxides are important building blocks with a unique reactivity in organic chemistry, but only a few reliable methods have been reported to synthesize them. A novel route to access alkynyl sulfoxides is reported herein by using ethynyl benziodoxo ...

An Unconventional Iron Nickel Catalyst for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Xile Hu, Michaël Bensimon, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Fang Song, Michael Markus Busch, Elitsa Petkucheva

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a key process that enables the storage of renewable energies in the form of chemical fuels. Here, we describe a catalyst that exhibits turnover frequencies higher than state-of-the-art catalysts that operate in alkali ...
