Nanostructured Pt–TiO2 composite thin films obtained by direct liquid injection metal organic chemical vapor deposition: Control of chemical state by…
2015
Abstract Nanostructured Pt–TiO 2 composite thin films were synthesized by direct liquid injection metal organic chemical vapor deposition process, using trimethyl(methylcyclopentadienyl)platinum and titanium isopropoxide as precursors. Surface and cross-sectional morphologies obtained by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy evidenced the uniform distribution of platinum nanoparticles in the TiO 2 matrix. At higher Pt content, the X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the face-centered cubic phase of platinum appeared together with an anatase TiO 2 structure. In addition, as far as the platinum chemical state is concerned, the co-deposition of TiO 2 and Pt allow…
Preparation and photoactivity of nanostructured anatase, rutile and brookite TiO2 thin films
2006
Photoactive films consisting of pure anatase, brookite or rutile TiO2 were prepared by dip coating from water dispersions obtained by using TiCl4 as the precursor under similar mild experimental conditions
Investigation on sol–gel synthesized Ag-doped TiO2 cermet thin films
2005
Abstract Undoped TiO 2 and Ag–TiO 2 (up to 23 at.% Ag) cermet thin films and polycrystalline powders have been prepared by sol–gel process. Their structure, composition, surface morphology and optical properties have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–VIS spectroscopy). It has been observed that while Ag does not form a solid solution with TiO 2 , it promotes the anatase to rutile phase transformation. The transformation temperature decreases from 827 °C for undoped TiO 2 to about 650 °C fo…
Photocatalytic thin films of TiO2 formed by a sol-gel process using titanium tetraisopropoxide as the precursor
2008
Abstract Thin TiO 2 films were prepared with the dip-coating technique by using sols deriving from titanium tetraisopropoxide. TiO 2 films were formed on glass substrates previously covered by a SiO 2 layer obtained from a tetraethylortosilicate sol. The films, after a thermal treatment at 673 K, mainly consisted of TiO 2 anatase. The samples were characterised by X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The photoactivity of the various films was tested by using as probe reaction the photo-oxidation of 2-propanol in gas-solid regime. The photoreactivity results indicated that the TiO 2 films were efficient for degrading 2-propanol und…

From attraction to repulsion : anion–π interactions between bromide and fluorinated phenyl groups
2011
Anion–π interactions in crystals of fluorobenzyl ammonium salts depend on the degree of fluorination at the aromatics.
Cooperativity of H-bonding and anion–π interaction in the binding of anions with neutral π-acceptors
2012
A rare anion-π complex between bromide and a neutral receptor is reported and related receptor systems are studied with a series of anions. The interaction is observed in the solid state and in solution, and further evidence for it is obtained by a computational study.
A highly enantioselective abiotic receptor for malate dianion in aqueous solution
2006
The highly enantioselective molecular recognition of the malate dianion by a synthetic receptor in aqueous solution has been studied by potentiometric titrations, mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), diffusion measurements (PGSE NMR) and molecular modeling.

Sterically geared tris-thioureas; transmembrane chloride transporters with unusual activity and accessibility
2015
Tris-N-arylthioureas derived in one step from 1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)-2,4,6-triethylbenzene are remarkably effective anion carriers. With optimised aryl substituents their activities come close to the best currently known, suggesting that they might find use as readily available standards in anion transport research.
