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 ...
Cambridge2024Microstructure - Electrochemical Surface Reactivity Relationship of Electrochemically Grown Manganese Oxides Films
This Thesis provides a comprehensive and correlative investigation of the microstructure, chemical state, and electrochemical reactivity of manganese oxide (MnOx) films, aiming to gain a deeper understanding of the deposition and dissolution mechanism of M ...
EPFL2024Synthesis 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 ...
2023Reactivity of Multimetallic Thorium Nitrides Generated by Reduction of Thorium Azides
Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Fang-Che Hsueh, Luciano Barluzzi
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 ...
2022Flowing Gas Experiments Reveal Mechanistic Details of Interfacial Reactions on a Molecular Level at Knudsen Flow Conditions
Christian Ludwig, Michel Rossi, Riccardo Iannarelli
Knudsen flow experiments and its interpretation in terms of adsorption/desorption kinetics as well as quantitative uptake on substrates of interest is presented together with the description of critical design parameters of the Knudsen Flow Reactor (KFR). ...
2022Electrochemical imaging of metabolic activity in tissue and biofilms
Non-invasive and semi-invasive bioimaging is of great interest for the rapid diagnosis and efficient as well as specific treatments of biological systems affecting human health, such as cancer tissue and biofilms. Electrochemical bioimaging is one of the d ...
EPFL2022Design, synthesis, reactivity, and magnetic properties of uranium based oxide and nitride complexes
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 ...
EPFL2021Confinement of fluorine anions in nickel-based catalysts for greatly enhancing oxygen evolution activity
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 ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2020Mn-Cu Transmetalation as a Strategy for the Assembly of Decoupled Metal-Organic Networks on Sn/Cu(001) Surface Alloys
Surface alloying of Cu(001) by Sn deposition is a finely controllable method of tuning the degree of copper reactivity in order to drive the on-surface assembly and synthesis of metal-organic coordination networks. In this work we show that the (3 root 2 x ...
2020Comparison of the impact of ozone, chlorine dioxide, ferrate and permanganate pre-oxidation on organic disinfection byproduct formation during post-chlorination
Pre-oxidation is commonly used to mitigate the formation of byproducts during post-disinfection. A comparative study of the impact of four pre-oxidants, ozone (O-3), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), permanganate (Mn(vii)) and ferrate (Fe(vi)), on the formation of ...
