Investigation of Charge-Transfer Interactions Induced by Encapsulating Fullerene in a Mesoporous Tetrathiafulvalene-Based Metal-Organic Framework
2019
<p>The design of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) incorporating electroactive guest molecules in the pores has become a subject of great interest in order to install additional electrical functionalities within the framework while maintaining porosity. In this direction, understanding the charge-transfer (CT) process between the framework and the guest molecules is crucial towards the design of new electroactive MOFs. Herein, we present the encapsulation of fullerenes (C<sub>60</sub>) in a mesoporous tetrathiafulvalene(TTF)-based MOF. The CT process between the electron-acceptor C<sub>60 </sub>guest and the electron-donor TTF ligand is studied in detail by means…
Metal-organic frameworks-based catalysts for biomass valorization
2020
Abstract The objective of this chapter is to review the most promising metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts in biomass valorization processes in the bulk and fine chemical industries. Either bulk metal-organic frameworks, encapsulated catalytic species in MOFs, or MOF-derived catalysts are revised in terms of activity, selectivity, and stability for biomass valorization applications. The work revised here is focused on the transformation of lignocellulose biomass through purely chemical pathways. In the first part of the chapter, the few studies of cellulose hydrolysis into monosaccharides reported are commented, since this crucial first step in the valorization of hemicellulose is expec…
Temperature-Induced Structural Transitions in the Gallium-Based MIL-53 Metal–Organic Framework
2013
We report a structural and thermodynamic investigation of the phase behavior of Ga(OH,F)-MIL-53, a gallium-based metal–organic framework (MOF) having the MIL-53 topology containing 0.7 wt % fluorine bonded to the metal. Despite some small structural differences, especially for the hydrated form, the overall physical chemistry behavior of Ga(OH,F)-MIL-53 is very similar to standard fluorine free Ga-MIL-53 material. A combination of in situ X-ray diffraction, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and heat capacity measurements allowed us to establish that Ga(OH,F)-MIL-53 under vacuum (i.e., the empty material) exhibits two stable phases: a nonporo…
Selective Gold Recovery and Catalysis in a Highly Flexible Methionine-Decorated Metal–Organic Framework
2016
A novel chiral 3D bioMOF exhibiting functional channels with thio-alkyl chains derived from the natural amino acid l-methionine (1) has been rationally prepared. The well-known strong affinity of gold for sulfur derivatives, together with the extremely high flexibility of the thioether "arms" decorating the channels, account for a selective capture of gold(III) and gold(I) salts in the presence of other metal cations typically found in electronic wastes. The X-ray single-crystal structures of the different gold adsorbates Au(III)@1 and Au(I)@1 suggest that the selective metal capture occurs in a metal ion recognition process somehow mimicking what happens in biological systems and protein r…
Bidirectional Chemo-Switching of Spin State in a Microporous Framework
2009
The ins and outs of spin: Using the microporous coordination polymer {Fe(pz)[Pt(CN)(4)]} (1, pz=pyrazine), incorporating spin-crossover subunits, two-directional magnetic chemo-switching is achieved at room temperature. In situ magnetic measurements following guest vapor injection show that most guest molecules transform 1 from the low-spin (LS) state to the high-spin (HS) state, whereas CS(2) uniquely causes the reverse HS-to-LS transition.

Sensory Processing Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Taking Stock of Assessment and Novel Therapeutic Tools
2022
Sensory processing disorders (SPDs) can be described as difficulty detecting, modulating, interpreting, and/or responding to sensory experiences. Because SPDs occur in many individuals with autism spectrum disorder and in other populations with neurodevelopmental disorders, it is important to distinguish between typical and atypical functioning in sensory processes and to identify early phenotypic markers for developing SPDs. This review considers different methods for diagnosing SPDs to outline a multidisciplinary approach useful for developing valid diagnostic measures. In particular, the advantages and limitations of the most commonly used tools in assessment of SPDs, such as caregiver r…
Implantación de un procedimiento para la atención de menores en situación de riesgo en el municipio de Gandia: 'Un reto para la consecución de Buenas…
2011
El marco jurídico vigente en materia de protección de menores define las competencias de los Servicios Sociales Municipales en la prevención, detección e intervención en todos aquellos casos en que existan menores de 18 años, que se encuentren en situación de Dificultad Social (riesgo leve), Desprotección (riesgo moderado, grave y desamparo) y/o Conflicto Social. La práctica diaria y la complejidad en la atención al usuario y/o familia, hacen necesaria la elaboración de circuitos y el desarrollo secuencial del proceso que se pretende llevar a cabo desde cualquier servicio o programa. Por lo tanto, el manual de procedimiento de atención a menores en situación de riesgo consiste en un documen…
Globalization Competencies in Information Systems and E-Learning
2010
Abstract. Internationalization and globalization competences play a major role for graduates and employees in IS related enterprises. In contrast to other disciplines such as Business or Economics, the IS discipline rarely addresses this competence area. In the paper, we identify generic competence areas: coordination, communication, and cooperation. We derive domain specific competences for the field of E-Learning in Higher Education. The paper concludes with an outlook of promising research areas to foster and intensify research in the domain. peerReviewed
Electrocatalytic properties of manganese and cobalt polyporphine films toward oxygen reduction reaction
2018
International audience; Novel member of polymetalloporphines, namely manganese polymetalloporphine of type I (pMnP-I) obtained by ion exchange from magnesium polyporphine of type I (pMgP-I) is reported for the first time and compared to its cobalt analogue (pCoP-I). Both polymer films have been obtained via two-step procedure: demetaladon of the pMgP-I electrode film via its exposure to trifluoroacetic acid solution, resulting in formation of the metal-free polyporphine of type I (pH(2)P-I) followed by electrochemically induced incorporation of Co or Mn ions from the acetonitrile solution of cobalt and manganese perchlorates. A further oxidative transformation of pCoP-I, polymer films has l…
