Desafíos y oportunidades de Sentinel-2 en la monitorización de las aguas continentales
2023
En los ecosistemas de agua dulce, la escasez y la contaminación de este recurso está promoviendo que los organismos gubernamentales incluyan en sus agendas estrategias para mitigar esta situación a través de una gestión sostenible. La Directiva Marco del Agua establece entre sus requerimientos la monitorización del estado ecológico de las aguas continentales para determinar su calidad. Las imágenes satelitales ofrecen una visión sinóptica y continua a partir de la que es posible derivar métricas del estado ecológico. Esas métricas son un complemento a los tradicionales muestreos ya que se incrementa la cobertura espacial y la periodicidad en la monitorización. Sentinel-2, con su sensor Mult…
Asymmetric [N–I–N]+halonium complexes in solution?
2020
Assessment of the solution equilibria of [bis(pyridine)iodine(I)]+ complexes by ESI-MS and NMR reveals the preference of iodine(I) to form complexes with a more basic pyridine. Mixtures of symmetric [bis(pyridine)iodine(I)]+ complexes undergo statistical ligand exchange, with a predominant entropic driving force favoring asymmetric systems. The influence of ligand basicity, concentration, temperature, and ligand composition is evaluated. Our findings are expected to facilitate the investigations, and the supramolecular and synthetic applications of halonium ions’ halogen bonds. peerReviewed
Anomalous and normal Hall effect in hydrogenated amorphous Si prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
2010
The double sign anomaly of the Hall coefficient has been studied in p -doped and n -doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and annealed up to 500 °C. Dark conductivity as a function of temperature has been measured, pointing out a conduction mechanism mostly through the extended states. Anomalous Hall effect has been observed only in the as-deposited n -doped film, disappearing after annealing at 500 °C, while p -doped samples exhibit normal Hall effect. When Hall anomaly is present, a larger optical band gap and a greater Raman peak associated with Si-H bond are measured in comparison with the cases of normal Hall effect. The Hall anomaly wi…
Potent affinity material for tracing acetone and related analytes based on molecular recognition by halogen bonds.
2014
Affinity materials based on halogen bonds turned out to be a powerful tool for the molecular recognition of acetone or related carbonyl compounds in the presence of ubiquitous protic molecules. The superior selectivity and sensitivity were found by the gravimetric detection of volatile organic compounds by quartz crystal microbalances.
Structural Changes of Titanium Oxide Induced by Chromium Addition as Determined by an X-Ray Diffraction Study
1995
Abstract An X-ray diffraction study has been carried out on a series of polycrystalline TiO 2 (anatase) catalysts containing Cr(III) at different atomic concentrations (0.2-5.0 at. %), prepared by a co-precipitation method. Analysis of the variation of the unit cell parameters of chromium-doped anatase with respect to pure anatase has allowed us to estimate the solubility limit for the system at around 1.4 at. %. There is no evidence for the existence of a separate crystalline chromium oxide phase. Temperature effects on the cell parameter and on the anatase-rutile transformation rate were also analyzed. An increase in temperature produced release of the chromium from the solid solution. At…
Atomic Layer Deposition of Aluminum Oxide on TiO2 and Its Impact on N3 Dye Adsorption from First Principles
2011
The atomic layer deposition of aluminum oxide on an OH-terminated TiO2(101) anatase surface was studied employing density functional theory calculations. The formation of the Al2O3−TiO2 interface during the first atomic layer deposition cycle was modeled by studying the dissociative adsorption of an Al(CH3)3 precursor, followed with a H2O-pulse reaction step that changes the surface termination. Calculations provide evidence for the formation of a discontinuous, atomically rough aluminum oxide layer after the first cycle. To explore the role of the aluminum oxide layer on adsorption of a ruthenium-based N3 dye molecule, various adsorption geometries were investigated. Calculations show that…
Iron(iii) oxamato-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes by dioxygen and pivalaldehyde
1997
A new iron(III)–carbonato monomeric complex of orthophenylenebis( oxamato) (opba) 1 is synthesized, and spectroscopically and structurally characterized; it is a moderately efficient non-heme catalyst for the aerobic epoxidation of alkenes with co-oxidation of pivalaldehyde.

Tetraiodoethynyl resorcinarene cavitands as multivalent halogen bond donors
2014
The first examples of iodoethynyl resorcinarene cavitands as rigid 3D halogen bond (XB) donor molecules are presented. These concave macrocycles form strong, RXB = 0.78–0.83, halogen bonds with dioxane oxygen, pyridine nitrogen and a bromide anion in tetraproropyl ammonium bromide resulting in deep cavity cavitand structures.
Graphitically encapsulated cobalt nanocrystal assemblies
2010
Graphitically encapsulated cobalt nanocrystal assemblies are chemically prepared by one-pot reaction at380 degrees C followed by a reversed etching process to produce porous graphitic structure for revealing their self-assembling nature.
