Self-Assembled Molecular Rafts at Liquid|Liquid Interfaces for Four-Electron Oxygen Reduction
2011
The self-assembly of the oppositely charged water-soluble porphyrins, cobalt tetramethylpyridinium porphyrin (CoTMPyP(4+)) and cobalt tetrasulphonatophenyl porphyrin (CoTPPS(4-)), at the interface with an organic solvent to form molecular "rafts", provides an excellent catalyst to perform the interfacial four-electron reduction of oxygen by lipophilic electron donors such as tetrathiafulvalene (TTF). The catalytic activity and selectivity of the self-assembled catalyst toward the four-electron pathway was found to be as good as that of the Pacman type cofacial cobalt porphyrins. The assembly has been characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Surface Second Harmonic Generation, and Scanning …
On the Complexation of Cu(II) and Cd(II) With Polycarboxyl Ligands. Potentiometric Studies With ISE-H+, ISE-Cu2+, and ISE-Cd2+
2009
The interaction of Cu2+ and Cd2+ ions with polyacrylates (PAA, 2 kDa and 100 kDa), polymetacrylate(PMA, 5.4 kDa), and alginate (AA, 70 kDa to 100 kDa) was studied by potentiometry, using ISE-Cu2+, ISE-Cd2+, and ISE-H+ electrodes. The investigations were performed in NaNO3 aqueous solutions, in the ionic strength range 0.10 e I (mol ·L-1) e 0.75, at T ) 298.15 K. The “diprotic-like model” was used to explain the acid-base behavior of the polycarboxylates under investigation (for this model, the monomeric unit of the polyelectrolyte is considered as a dicarboxylate). The results give evidence for the formation of the ML species in all the systems investigated. In addition, the MLH species was…
Plasma selenium levels and oxidative stress biomarkers: a gene-environment interaction population-based study.
2014
The role of selenium exposure in preventing chronic disease is controversial, especially in selenium-repleted populations. At high concentrations, selenium exposure may increase oxidative stress. Studies evaluating the interaction of genetic variation in genes involved in oxidative stress pathways and selenium are scarce. We evaluated the cross-sectional association of plasma selenium concentrations with oxidative stress levels, measured as oxidized to reduced glutathione ratio (GSSG/GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxo-dG) in urine, and the interacting role of genetic variation in oxidative stress candidate genes, in a representative sample of 1445 men and women…
Cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence study of trap centers in amorphous silicon oxynitride
2002
Amorphous silicon oxynitride (a-SiO/sub x/N/sub y/) films with different compositions were prepared using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) technique, The cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence of this samples were measured from the red band to the ultraviolet band to study the trap centers in silicon oxynitride. A 1.8-1.9 eV band was found and is attributed to the oxygen and nitrogen atoms with unpaired electrons whereas the 2.7 eV band is attributed to two-fold coordinated silicon atoms with two electrons. The 5.4 eV shoulder is due to the peroxy radicals and other ultraviolet bands are supposed to due due to the Si-Si bonds.
Monoamide Derivatives of EDTA Incorporating Pendent Carboxylates or Pyridyls: Synthesis, Metal Binding, and Crystal Structure of a Dinuclear Ca2+ Com…
2017
EDTA is a powerful, cheap and widely-used chelating unit for a large range of metal ions. To link it covalently to other molecules, the formation of an amide bond using one of the carboxylates is an attractive and simple approach, even though it may compromise metal ion binding as one of the four carboxylate donors is lost. Here we undertake a quantitative study of the metal ion binding of two new mono-amide derivatives of EDTA, namely AmGly1 and AmPy1, featuring an additional coordinating carboxylate or pyridyl group in the amide, respectively. The compounds are conveniently synthesised through alkylation of the tris-t-butyl ester of ethylenediamine-triacetic acid with the appropriate α-ch…
The different catalytic behaviour in the propane total oxidation of cobalt and manganese oxides prepared by a wet combustion procedure
2013
Abstract Cobalt oxide and manganese oxide catalysts have been prepared through aqueous synthesis using a wet combustion procedure. These materials have been tested as catalysts for the total oxidation of propane. It has been observed a different catalytic behaviour between cobalt and manganese oxides although for both oxides a very high catalytic activity has been obtained. Cobalt oxides prepared by the wet combustion procedure are less reactive than a simple cobalt oxide prepared without the addition of organic acids. However, in the case of manganese oxide the use of organic acids highly increases the catalytic activity. The different catalytic behaviour has been related to the variation …
Light-induced, site-selective isomerization of glyoxylic acid in solid xenon
2014
Abstract The isomerization of glyoxylic acid (GA) and its water complex was studied in a low temperature xenon matrix. The aim of these studies was to understand how xenon environment affects the cis-trans GA interconversion upon near infrared irradiation. In solid xenon, the GA conformers are embedded in two different matrix sites. These show up as different vibrational bands of GA that exhibit different kinetic rates of isomerization. Upon complexation with water, the isomerization process slows down. Xenon matrix appears not to affect energy relaxation process via intramolecular or intermolecular hydrogen bond as compared with previous experiments in an argon.
Inhibitoren der Korrosion 25(1) - Über die Rolle der Kationen in Neutralsalzen bei der Korrosion von Eisenwerkstoffen in Gegenwart von Sauerstoff
1979
Die Geschwindigkeit des Sauerstoffverbrauchs bei der Korrosion von jeweils 500 mg DAB6-Eisenpulver wird in Abhangigkeit von der Art des Kations in Neutralsalzen (Chloriden) unter Standardbedingungen bestimmt. In Gegenwart von Alkali-, Quartaren Ammonium, Quartaren Phosphonium-und Erdalkalichloriden ist die Geschwindigkeit des Sauerstoffverbrauches vergleichbar gros. Mit Zink-, Cadmium-, Nickel-und Kobaltchloriden wird aber im Bereich von pH5 bis pH7 eine uberraschend grose Verzogerung der Sauerstoffaufnahme beobachtet. Es handelt sich mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit um eine Blockade der kathodischen Bezirke in der Eisengrenzflache durch Abscheidung der schwerloslichen basischen Hydroxyde von Z…
Unprecedented Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reaction of α-Bromo Sulfoxides with Boronic Acids
2003
[reaction: see text] A new Suzuki-type palladium-catalyzed reaction of boronic acids with alpha-bromo sulfoxides has been developed using a protocol similar to the well-documented reaction of boronic acids with aryl halides. Both cross-coupling and homocoupling processes were observed. The best yields in cross-coupling products were obtained when the presence of oxygen was carefully excluded using degassed solvents. The oxidative addition palladium complex intermediate could be isolated and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.
Decomposition of nitrous oxide upon nickel oxide-magnesium oxide solid solutions
1966
The decomposition of N 2 O has been studied over MgO catalysts, doped with NiO and NiO + Li 2 O from 1 to 10% (atomic). For pure MgO, activity is low, but is enhanced by addition of Ni 2+ ions. The apparent activation energy is reduced from 35 kcal/mole for pure MgO, to about 18 kcal/mole. Oxygen acts as a poison, and it is chemisorbed on the catalyst. The presence of lithium greatly increases the apparent activation energy. The results are interpreted in terms of oxygen chemisorption and of its influence on the course of the reaction.
