We present a reaction mechanism for CO oxidation at the $\text{Ru}(0001)\text{\ensuremath{-}}(1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1)$ surface. By means of density-functional theory studies, we compare the reactivity of flat and stepped regions of the Ru(0001). We find that at saturation oxygen coverage, where the flat…

An efficient synthetic method for preparing corannulenoporphyrins is described. Nitrocorannulene was reacted with ethyl isocyanoacetate in the presence of a phosphazene base to generate the pivotal corannulenopyrrole intermediate. Following cleavage of the ethyl ester moiety with KOH in ethylene glycol at 180-190 degr…

Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsions were prepared and the rate of release of magnesium ions from the internal to the external aqueous phase was followed. Sodium caseinate was used not only as a hydrophilic surface-active species but also as a chelating agent able to bind magnesium ions. The release occurred…

Methyl abstraction from a neutral aluminum complex stabilized by a salen-like fluorinated dialkoxide-diimino ligand yields the corresponding cationic species, which exists as a five-coordinate Et 2 O adduct in the solid state and in solution. This complex promotes the cationic polymerization of propylene oxide and p -…

Graphene nanoribbons are semiconductor nanostructures with great potentials in nanoelectronics. Their realization particularly with small lateral dimensions below a few nanometers, however, remains challenging. Here we theoretically analyze zigzag graphene nanoribbons created in a graphane substrate (a fully saturated…
