Electrochemical carboxylation of aldehydes and ketones with sacrificial aluminum anodes.

1986

Abstract The electrocarboxylation of aldehydes to the corresponding α-hydroxyacids was described as impossible with conventional electrochemical systems. It is reported here that it is possible to realize it in diaphragmless cells making of sacrificial aluminum anodes. The method can be used also for the electrocarboxylation of ketones with good yields.

Metal ion affinity-based biomolecular recognition and conjugation inside synthetic polymer nanopores modified with iron-terpyridine complexes.

2011

Here we demonstrate a novel biosensing platform for the detection of lactoferrin (LFN) via metal-organic frameworks, in which the metal ions have accessible free coordination sites for binding, inside the single conical nanopores fabricated in polymeric membrane. First, monolayer of amine-terminated terpyridine (metal-chelating ligand) is covalently immobilized on the inner walls of the nanopore via carbodiimide coupling chemistry. Second, iron-terpyridine (iron-terPy) complexes are obtained by treating the terpyridine modified-nanopores with ferrous sulfate solution. The immobilized iron-terPy complexes can be used as recognition elements to fabricate biosensing nanodevice. The working pri…

Design and characterization of bi-functional electrocatalytic layers for application in PEM unitized regenerative fuel cells

2010

Abstract Results concerning the development and characterization of bi-functional electrocatalytic layers for application in unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs) based on proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology are reported. Carbon-supported hydrophobic (10 wt.% of PTFE) Pt catalysts (40 wt.% of Pt), and Pt and Ir black powders of large specific areas have been synthesized. Their structure, morphology and electrochemical properties have been investigated using SEM, TEM, XRD analysis, and by measurements of polarization curves and cyclic voltammograms. Current–voltage curves have been recorded during water electrolysis and H 2 /O 2 fuel cell experiments to evaluate their performances a…

Tuning of interfacial charge transport in polyporphine/phthalocyanine heterojunctions by molecular geometry control for an efficient gas sensor

2022

Abstract Owing to high interfacial conductivity, organic heterostructures hold great promises to augment the electrical performances of electronic devices. In this endeavor, the present work reports fabrication of novel polyporphine/phthalocyanine heterostructures and investigates the modulation of charge transport induced by structural change of polyporphine and its implication on ammonia sensing properties. Polyporphines materials are electrosynthesized by oxidation of zinc(II) porphine monomer that corresponds to the fully unsubstituted porphyrin. At less-positive anodic potential, low conducting meso,meso-singly-linked type-1 polymer (pZnP-1) is formed in which a monomer unit stays orth…

Saponins as immunoadjuvants and immunostimulants

1999

Saponins are either triterpene or steroid glycosides widely distributed in the plant and animal kingdom and include a large number of biologically active compounds. Most of them have surface-active and cholesterol-binding properties.

Electroactivation of Transition Metal Redox Couples for the Carbonylation of Alcohols to Dialkylcarbonates

1998

Electrochemical systems which promote the carbonylation of methanol to dimethylcarbonate, based on the anodic activation of transition metal redox couples, or the Br−/Br2 couple, are poorly active for the carbonylation of ethanol to diethylcarbonate at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Positive results have been obtained by combined addiction of PdBr2 and Bu4NBr to the system. In this way yields up to 50% in diethylcarbonate were obtained, with very good conductivities in long range electrolyses.

Electrochemical Syntheses Involving Carbon Dioxide

1990

The recent developments of electrosynthetic processes involving carbon dioxide are reviewed. Both processes involving carbon dioxide alone and electrocarboxylations are taken under consideration. The first of these two fields, mainly projected towards the production of basic chemicals such as methanol or carbon monoxide, is at present at a stage of fundamental research. Some interesting developments have recently appeared in the literature, concerning the use of electrode materials, or of transition metal complexes with particular catalytic activity. Electrocarboxylations are at a stage of more applicative development: some processes have reached the stage of pilot plant, and other have int…
