Monomeric vs. polymeric bonded iminodiacetate silica supports in high-performance ligand-exchange chromatography

1983

The synthesis of monomeric and polymeric bonded iminodiacetate-groups on silica supports is described. The polymeric support offers advantages over the monomeric, such as (i) preparation is much simpler, (ii) higher surface concentration of functional groups can be achieved without loss of efficiency and (iii) hydrolytic stability. Cu2+ loaded supports were examined for their kinetic performance, in particular for the C-parameter of the Knox equation, and for their hydrolytic stability. Calculation of the surface coverage shows that only a rather thin polymeric layer is formed; this is in agreement with the results of the kinetic performance. The retention of α-amino acids on the Cu2+ loade…

Better understanding of the ring-cleavage process of cyanocyclopropyl anionic derivatives. A theoretical study based on the electron localization fun…

2005

[reaction: see text] Theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d), MP2/6-31+G(d), and G3(MP2) levels have been carried out to understand the alternative reaction pathways (the cyclopropyl ring cleavage (RC) and the retrocycloaddition reaction (rCA)) of a constrained tricyanocyclopropyl anionic derivative. The more energetically favorable path is found to be the RC process, a formally "forbidden" rearrangement (Leiviers, M.; Tam, I.; Groves, K.; Leung, D.; Xie, Y.; Breslow, R. Org. Lett. 2003, 5, 19, 3407) yielding an allylic anion system via a concerted transition structure, in agreement with experimental outcomes. rCA is more energetically favorable along a two-stage mechanism, via an i…

From Single Molecules to Nanoscopically Structured Functional Materials

2006

AbstractThe synthesis of MS2 (M = Mo, W) onion-like nanoparticles by means of a high temperature MOCVD process starting from W(CO)6 and elemental sulfur is reported. The reaction can also be carried out in two steps where the intermediate amorphous WS2 nanoparticles formed through the high temperature reaction of tungsten and sulfur in the initial phase of the reaction are isolated and converted in a separate annealing step to onion-type WS2 nanoparticles. Based on a study of the temperature dependence of the reaction a set of conditions could be derived where onion-like structures were formed in a one-step reaction. Onion-like structures obtained in the single-step process were filled, whe…

Preparation and Characterization of Tungsten Chalcogenide Photocatalysts

1997

Tungsten chalcogenides powders have been prepared by sulfidation of WO3 with gaseous H2S. Different mixed WS2/WO3 systems have been obtained by varying the amount of initial WO3 powder, the time, o...

Energetic analysis of succinic acid in water droplets: insight into the size-dependent solubility of atmospheric nanoparticles

2021

<p>Size-dependent solubility is prevalent in atmospheric nanoparticles, but a molecular level understanding is still insufficient, especially for organic compounds. Here, we performed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the size dependence of succinic acid solvation on the scale of ~1-4 nm with the potential of mean forces method. Our analyses reveal that the surface preference of succinic acid is stronger for a droplet than the slab of the same size, and the surface propensity is enhanced due to the curvature effect as the droplet becomes smaller. Energetic analyses show that such surface preference is primarily an enthalpic effect in both systems, while the entropi…

Prediction of Indices of Refraction and Glass Transition Temperatures of Linear Polymers by Using Graph Theoretical Indices

2002

Graph theoretical indices were exclusively used in the prediction of indices of refraction, n, and glass transition temperatures, Tg, into a group of addition polymers. Models with 10 variables were selected for the prediction of n (r = 0.981, SEE = 0.0147) and Tg/M (r = 0.946, SEE = 0.439). The average errors in the predictions were 0.69% and 12.7% for n and Tg, respectively. The descriptors involved in these models were calculated from the structures of the monomers.

ChemInform Abstract: Palladium-Polypyrrole Nanocomposites Pd@PPy for Direct C-H Functionalization of Pyrroles and Imidazoles with Bromoarenes.

2016

Palladium–polypyrrole nanocomposites (Pd@PPy) with unique combination of high palladium dispersion (nanoparticle size 2.4 nm) and high palladium content (35 wt%) are efficient catalysts for the selective arylation of substituted pyrroles and imidazoles with either activated or deactivated aryl bromides. The performances of the recoverable supported palladium catalyst matches the best performances of homogeneous systems based on Pd(OAc)2 at 0.5–0.2 mol%, and largely overwhelm the classical Pd/C catalyst.
