Enantioselective Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Benzoins from (S)-Mandelic Acid Enolate and Aromatic Aldehydes.

2004

The reaction of the lithium enolate of the 1,3-dioxolan-4-one derived from optically active (S)-mandelic acid and pivalaldehyde with aromatic aldehydes proceeds readily to give the corresponding aldol products in good yields and diastereoselectivities. Subsequent hydroxyl protection, basic hydrolysis of the dioxolanone, oxidative decarboxylation of the α-hydroxyacid moiety, and hydroxyl deprotection provides chiral unsymmetrical benzoins with high enantiomeric excesses.

Sodium Congener of the Classical Lithium Methylchromate Dimer: Synthetic, X-ray Crystallographic, and Magnetic Studies of Me8Cr2[Na(OEt2)]4

2011

One of the milestone structures in the development of transition-metal complexes with metal metal bonds of multiple bond order was the lithium methylchromate dimer Me8Cr2[Li(donor)](4) (donor = THF or Et2O). Using a simple salt metathesis reaction mixing this compound with sodium tert-butoxide, the sodium congener Me8Cr2-[Na(OEt2)]4 has been synthesized as a green crystalline compound and isolated in 51% yield. Its solid-state structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Exhibiting exact crystallographic C-4h symmetry, this heavier alkali-metal chromate structure is also dimeric, formally comprising a (Me8Cr4)(4-) tetranionic core with four peripheral Na+ cations carrying s…

Isobaric Vapor−Liquid Equilibria for Water + Acetic Acid + Lithium Acetate

2001

Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for all of the binary and ternary mixtures of water, acetic acid, and lithium acetate have been measured at 100.00 kPa using a recirculating still. To take into account the association of the acetic acid in the vapor phase, Marek's chemical theory has been considered. The three experimental binary data sets have been independently correlated using Mock's electrolyte NRTL model, and the binary parameters estimated for each binary system have been used to predict the ternary vapor−liquid equilibrium using the same model. No ternary parameters were required. The ternary equilibrium values obtained in this way agreed well with the experimental values.

Determination of rate constants of ion transfer kinetics across immiscible electrolyte solutions

1998

Abstract The rotating diffusion cell was used to study ion transfer across the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions. Tetrabutylammonium was chosen as the transferring cation and lithium chloride as the supporting electrolyte in aqueous phase. Tetrabutylammonium tetrakis-(4-fluorophenyl)-borate in 2-nitrophenyl-octylether was used as the organic electrolyte solution supported in the porous membrane. The quasi-steady state current–voltage curves were measured both by applying potential steps and by imposing a slow potential sweep. The analysis of experimental results was based on the comparison with the theoretical current–voltage curves and on the Koutecky–Levich plots. The…

A new selective fluorogenic probe for trivalent cations.

2012

[EN] A new selective chromo-fluorogenic probe for Fe 3+, Cr 3+ and Al 3+ is reported. Detection limits are in the ¿M range and the fluorogenic sensing ability could be observed by the naked eye when illuminated with UV-light. No response is observed with divalent cations. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

On the thermo-mechanical behaviour of DEMO water-cooled lithium lead equatorial outboard blanket module

2017

Abstract Within the framework of EUROfusion R&D activities an intense research campaign has been carried out at the University of Palermo, in close cooperation with ENEA Brasimone, in order to investigate the thermo-mechanical performances of the DEMO water-cooled lithium lead breeding blanket (WCLL). In particular, attention has been paid to the most recent geometric configuration of the DEMO WCLL outboard equatorial module, as designed by WCLL project team during 2015, endowed with an attachment system based on the use of radial pins, purposely outlined to connect the module back-plate to its back-supporting structure, that have been properly considered to simulate more realistically the …

Systematical, experimental investigations on LiMgZ (Z= P, As, Sb) wide band gap semiconductors

2011

This work reports on the experimental investigation of the wide band gap compounds LiMgZ (Z = P, As, Sb), which are promising candidates for opto-electronics and anode materials for Lithium batteries. The compounds crystallize in the cubic (C1_b) MgAgAs structure (space group F-43m). The polycrystalline samples were synthesized by solid state reaction methods. X-ray and neutron diffraction measurements show a homogeneous, single-phased samples. The electronic properties were studied using the direct current (DC) method. Additionally UV-VIS diffuse reflectance spectra were recorded in order to investigate the band gap nature. The measurements show that all compounds exhibit semiconducting be…

Composite Polymer Electrolytes with Improved Lithium Metal Electrode Interfacial Properties: I. Elechtrochemical Properties of Dry PEO‐LiX Systems

1998

Several types of lithium ion conducting polymer electrolytes have been synthesized by hot-pressing homogeneous mixtures of the components, namely, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the polymer matrix, lithium trifluoromethane sulfonate (LiCF{sub 3}SO{sub 3}), and lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF{sub 4}), respectively, as the lithium salt, and lithium gamma-aluminate {gamma}-LiAlO{sub 2}, as a ceramic filler. This preparation procedure avoids any step including liquids so that plasticizer-free, composite polymer electrolytes can be obtained. These electrolyte have enhanced electrochemical properties, such as an ionic conductivity of the order of 10{sup {minus}4} S/cm at 80--90 C and an anodic bre…
