Application of 61Ni Mössbauer spectroscopy to chemical problems
1996
Using the possibility to produce 61Co sources at the MAinz MIcrotron, 61Ni Mossbauer spectroscopy was applied to different kinds of chemical problems. Measurements of isomer shifts and V zz values in some common compounds and compounds with unusual chemical bonding for comparison with band structure calculations, measurement of 61Ni Mossbauer parameters in model compounds for hydrogenase and dehydrogenase with an active [NiS4] centre, and study of novel binary NiF3 compounds at helium temperature are presented.
Hydrolysis of methyltin(IV) trichloride in aqueous NaCl and NaNO3 solutions at different ionic strengths and temperatures
1999
The hydrolysis of methyltin(IV) trichloride (CH 3 SnCl 3 ) has been studied in aqueous NaCl and NaNO 3 solutions (0 < l/mol dm -3 ≤1), at different temperatures (15 ≤ T/°C ≤ 45) by potentiometric measurements (H + -glass electrode). By considering the generic hydrolytic reaction pCH 3 Sn 3+ + qH 2 O = (CH 3 Sn) p (OH) q 3p-q +qH + (logβ pq ), we have the formation of five species and logβ 12 = -3.36, logβ 13 = -8.99, logβ 14 = -20.27 and logβ 25 = -7.61. The first hydrolysis step is measurable only at very low pH values and was not determined: a rough estimate of the hydrolysis constant is logβ 11 = -1.5 (± 0.5). The dependence on ionic strength of logβ pq is quite different in NaNO 3 and N…
Thermodynamics of hydronium and hydroxide surface solvation.
2014
[Introduction] The concentration of hydronium and hydroxide at the water-air interface has been under debate for a long time. Recent evidence from a range of experiments and theoretical calculations strongly suggests the water surface is somewhat acidic. Using novel polarizable models we have performed potential of mean force calculations of a hydronium ion, a hydroxide ion and a water molecule in a water droplet and a water slab and we were able to rationalize that hydronium, but not hydroxide, is slightly enriched at the surface for two reasons. First, because the hydrogen-bond acceptance capacity of hydronium is weaker than water it is more favorable to have the hydronium oxygen on the s…
Interactions of tetradecyldimethylaminoxide with polyacrylic and polymethacrylic acids in aqueous solution
2001
Abstract The interactions between the zwitterionic surfactant tetradecyldimethylaminoxide (C14DMAO) and the polyelectrolytes polyacrylic (PAA-205 and PAA-250) or polymethacrylic (PMA-100) acids have been investigated in aqueous solution. The physico-chemical properties of these systems have been monitored by measuring the solution pH, electric birefringence, zero-shear viscosity and density for increasing surfactant concentrations. The experimental results have shown that significant change in the physico-chemical properties of the polyacid/surfactant system occurs only in a narrow pH range and when the amphiphile forms rod-like micelles. Moreover, they clearly reveal the important role pla…
Deoxygenative Divergent Synthesis : En Route to Quinic Acid Chirons
2020
The installation of vicinal mesylate and silyl ether groups in a quinic acid derivative generates a system prone for stereoselective borane-catalyzed hydrosilylation through a siloxonium intermediate. The diversification of the reaction conditions allowed the construction of different defunctionalized fragments foreseen as useful synthetic fragments. The selectivity of the hydrosilylation was rationalized on the basis of deuteration experiments and computational studies. peerReviewed
I RODITORI DI CAVA MONTICINO (BRISIGHELLA, RA)
2021
Rodents are the most abundant group of small mammals occurring in Brisighella deposits. They are represented by 12 species in total, among which 2 hamsters (Apocricetus cf. barrierei and Ruscinomys cf. lasallei), 2 dormice (Muscardinus sp. and Myomimus sp.), 1 porcupine (Hystrix (Hystrix) depereti), 2 sciurids (Atlantoxerus cf. rhodius and Hylopetes sp.) and 5 species of muridae (Apodemus cf. gudrunae, Centralomys benericettii, Occitanomys sp, Paraethomys meini and Stephanomys debruijni). This association suggests a relatively dry open environment, interrupted by forest environment with more or less dense underground.
Amidase-responsive controlled release of antitumoral drug into intracellular media using gluconamide-capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles
2012
MCM-41 silica nanoparticles were used as inorganic scaffolding to prepare a nanoscopic-capped hybrid material S1, which was able to release an entrapped cargo in the presence of certain enzymes, whereas in the absence of enzymes, a zero release system was obtained. S1 was prepared by loading nanoparticles with Safranine O dye and was then capped with a gluconamide derivative. In the absence of enzymes, the release of the dye from the aqueous suspensions of S1 was inhibited as a result of the steric hindrance imposed by the bulky gluconamide derivative, the polymerized gluconamide layer and the formation of a dense hydrogen-bonded network around the pore outlets. Upon the addition of amidase…
Selective opening of nanoscopic capped mesoporous inorganic materials with nerve agent simulants; an application to design chromo-fluorogenic probes.
2011
A hybrid nanoscopic capped mesoporous material, that is selectively opened in the presence of nerve agent simulants, has been prepared and used as a probe for the chromo-fluorogenic detection of these chemicals. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
Development of a Textile Nanocomposite as Naked Eye Indicator of the Exposition to Strong Acids
2017
[EN] Chemical burns, mainly produced by acids, are a topic of concern. A new sensing material for the detection of strong acids able to be incorporated into textiles has been developed. The material is prepared by the covalent attachment of 2,2 ',4,4 ',4 ''-pentamethoxy triphenyl methanol to a mesoporous material which further is included in a nitro resin to obtain a colourless composite. The response of this composite to diverse acid solutions was tested showing the appearance of an intense purple colour (with a colour difference higher than 160) that can be monitored by the naked eye or could be easily digitised to feed an instrumental sensor. Reversibility and resistance to washing cycle…
Liquid structure and dynamics in the choline acetate:urea 1:2 deep eutectic solvent
2021
We report on the thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic properties of a recently proposed deep eutectic solvent, formed by choline acetate (ChAc) and urea (U) at the stoichiometric ratio 1:2, hereinafter indicated as ChAc:U. Although the crystalline phase melts at 36-38 degrees C depending on the heating rate, ChAc:U can be easily supercooled at sub-ambient conditions, thus maintaining at the liquid state, with a glass-liquid transition at about -50 degrees C. Synchrotron high energy x-ray scattering experiments provide the experimental data for supporting a reverse Monte Carlo analysis to extract structural information at the atomistic level. This exploration of the liquid structure of ChA…
