The gas-phase dimers Au2+ and Pd2+ have been shown to readily activate methane and to facilitate its dehydrogenation eventually leading to the selective formation of ethylene at room temperature in the case of Au2+. Ion trap mass spectrometric investigations under multi-collision conditions reveal similar product ion…

Nitrogen‐doped carbon nanotubes (N‐CNTs) were synthesized by pyrolysis of (4‐{[(pyridine‐4‐yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl)ferrocene in a solution of either acetonitrile or toluene as carbon source. This was achieved by testing three different growth temperatures (800, 850, and 900°C), and the 850°C was found to be the mo…

In this paper we have prepared a series salen derived ligands based on a trans-1,4-diaminocyclohexane backbone. The ligands could be easily complexed to either Ti(IV) or Al(III) metal centres generating complexes with formulae Ti2(OiPr)6(L) and Al2(Me)4(L) respectively. The complexes were shown to be efficient initiat…

Laser ablation is the process of removing material from a solid surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. At low laser flux, the material is heated by the absorbed laser energy and evaporates or sublimates. At high laser flux, the material is typically converted to a plasma. Usually, laser ablation refers to removi…

We use self-consistent field theory (SCFT) to study the self-assembly of diblock copolymers confined in cylindrical and non-cylindrical prepatterns. This situation arises in contact holes -the hole shrink problem- where the goal is to produce a contact hole with reduced dimensions relative to a guiding prepattern. In…
