Chemical challenges during the synthesis of MWCNT-based inorganic nanocomposite materials

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Endre Horvath, Klara Hernadi

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were successfully covered with metal oxides - such as TiO2, ZnO, Al2O3, SnO2, and In2O3 nanoparticles - with different preparation methods under solvent conditions. The applied synthesis techniques were impregnation, a ...

Is Y-2(B12H12)(3) the main intermediate in the decomposition process of Y(BH4)(3)?

Dodecaborates, i.e. the [B12H12]2- containing species, are often observed as main intermediates in the hydrogen sorption cycle of metal borohydrides, hindering rehydrogenation. In the decomposition process of Y(BH4)3, yttrium octahydrotriborate, i.e. Y(B3H ...

New insights into the acid mediated disproportionation of pentavalent uranyl

Marinella Mazzanti

The reaction of benzoic acid with the uranyl(v) complex [(UO 2Py5)(KI2Py2)] in pyridine leads to immediate disproportionation with formation of a hexanuclear U(iv) benzoate cluster, a bis-benzoate complex of uranyl(vi) and water. © 2010 The Royal Society o ...

Synthesis of Functional Polydepsipeptides via Direct Ring-Opening Polymerization and Post-Polymerization Modification

Harm-Anton Klok, Nadja Franz

This contribution explores different strategies for the synthesis of side chain functional polydepsipeptides. First, the ring-opening polymerization of side chain functional morpholine-2,5-diones is revisited and the optimized reaction conditions used for ...

Biological forcing controls the chemistry of reef-building coral skeleton

Anders Meibom

[1] We present analyses of major elements C and Ca and trace elements N, S, Mg and Sr in a Porites sp. exoskeleton with a spatial resolution better than similar to 150 nm. Trace element variations are evaluated directly against the ultrastructure of the sk ...
