The CO 2 −CH 4 reaction on Rh/Al 2 O 3 was studied by in situ infrared spectroscopy coupled with pulse and step transient techniques. Steady-state isotopic 13 CO transient studies at 773 K and 0.1 MPa show that the formation of gaseous 13 CO 2 closely follows that of linear 13 CO, indicating that linear CO is an activ…

In a supermolecular system, the sum of properties is more than that of the individual components. The combination of rod and disc shaped groups (see picture) in the right ratio allows the design of a material with nematic and several layered (smectic) phases. Shape-induced nanophase segregation of rods and discs leads…

A sputter-deposited SmCo 5 thin film with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy has been developed. The Sm–Co film, composed of [Co (0.41 nm)/Sm (0.31 nm)] 35 , was prepared by sputtering on a Cu (100 nm)/glass substrate at various substrate temperatures. The coercivity was found to increase rapidly at 325–345°C and to be…

A novel strategy for the synthesis of a substituted polyaniline that can be switched between a self-doped and non-self-doped state is presented. The approach uses the complexation between boronic acid-substituted aniline, a diol (d-fructose), and fluoride to generate an anionic monomer. Under these conditions, chemica…
