Quantum chemical calculations at DFT (BP86) and ab initio levels (CCSD(T)) have been carried out for transition metal carbon complexes [MX2(PR3)2(C)] with various combinations of M = Fe, Ru, Os, X = F, Cl, Br, I, and R = H, Me, Ph, Cyc. Calculations have also been performed for [RuCl2(PMe3)(NHC)(C)] and [RuCl2(NHC)2(C…
meso-Tetraarylporphycenes, structural isomers of meso-tetraarylporphyrins, were synthesized by the acid-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction for the first time which is an alternative synthetic methodology to the traditional McMurry coupling reaction. The structure of the macrocycle and Ni(II) complex are characteriz…
One of the major limitations to the use of fuel cell systems in vehicular transportation is the lack of hydrogen storage systems that have the required hydrogen storage density and moderate enthalpy of dehydrogenation. Organic liquid H(2) carriers that release H(2) endothermically are easier to handle with existing in…
Unsupported and γ-Al 2 O 3 -supported Ba and Pb titanate catalysts were prepared, characterized and studied in the combustion of methane, as a test reaction for VOCs’ catalytic combustion. They present good catalytic activities, and after dispersion (5%) on γ-Al 2 O 3 the specific activity of the supported perovskite…
A phenomenological Landau-theory model, where a crystal on cooling from a state with polar symmetry exhibits a maximum of dielectric permittivity and polarization-field hysteresis loops, is offered. The model is equivalent to that of a true ferroelectric in a weak external dc bias. Permittivity maximum occurs as a res…
Abstract The effect of phase‐pure cristobalite (a high temperature crystalline polymorph of silica) on the adhesive characteristics of hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was studied. The potential advantages of PDMS/cristobalite composite system as an adhesive for aerospace applications are also discussed…
Abstract The formation of clay intercalates with three different kinds of organic ammonium salts, when mixed in the presence of synthetic or natural polyisoprene rubber, has been investigated. X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments have shown that intercalates with organic bilayers, r…
Abstract A new route for adding self‐healing properties to soluble polymers is presented briefly. Self‐healing block copolymers (polystyrene‐ block ‐polybutadiene block ‐polystyrene from Sigma‐Aldrich) were obtained by dissolving the polymer in a solvent that neither dissolves the microbubbles nor deactivate the Grubb…
The porous structure and the periodic array of cavities in ordered mesoporous materials with large, three-dimensionally arranged and interconnected pores is thoroughly described by combining electron tomography, small-angle X-ray diffraction, and nitrogen sorption techniques. We used the ability of the electron tomogr…
Abstract Homogeneous tridentate Schiff base vanadium catalysts derived from salicylaldehydes and tert ‐leucinol or tert ‐leucine are known to be excellent catalysts for the asymmetric oxidation of α‐hydroxy esters including ethyl mandelate. Herein, new analogous supported, semi‐soluble and insoluble catalysts are synt…
A brief overview of the nucleoside-based lipid family is presented in this article. These molecules dispersed in non-aqueous and aqueous solvents are yielding a large variety of supramolecular systems including vesicles, ribbons, gels and two-dimensional assemblies. Nucleoside-based amphiphiles have been also investig…
In the last decade, the popularity of sulfur SAD anomalous dispersion experiments has spread rapidly among synchrotron users as a quick and streamlined way of solving the phase problem in macromolecular crystallography. On beamline 10 at SRS (Daresbury Laboratory, UK), a versatile design has allowed test data sets to…
Abstract Effects of precipitated silica (PSi) and silica from fly ash (FA) particles (FASi) on the cure and mechanical properties before and after thermal and oil aging of natural rubber (NR) and acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR) blends with and without chloroprene rubber (CR) or epoxidized NR (ENR) as a compatibil…
An extensive review of entropy, enthalpy of formation and Gibbs energy of formation, heat capacity, aqueous solubility and solubility constant of FeCO3 is given. A consistent set of thermodynamic properties for FeCO3 and relevant aqueous species is selected and recommended for use. Speciation schemes for aqueous FeCO3…
We report an UV photochromic memory effect on a standard proton-based WO3 electrochromic device. It exhibits two memory states, associated with the colored and bleached states of the device, respectively. Such an effect can be used to enhance device performance (increasing the dynamic range), re-energize commercial el…
Sodium tetrahydroborate NaBH 4 is considered as being a promising energy/hydrogen carrier. NaBH 4 is not a new compound. It has been discovered in 1940s by Prof. H.C. Brown, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 1979. NaBH 4 has thus a history and this history distinguishes the NaBH 4 utilisation as hydrogen carrier from tha…
Wood fiber-reinforced recycled plastic composites (WRPCs) manufactured from sawdust and post-consumer high density polyethylene (HDPE) were studied in this article. The thermal, flexural properties and impact strength of the manufactured WRPCs were determined according to the relevant standard specifications. Effects…
Abstract Highly fluorescent and visible‐light‐responsive mesostructured organosilica films are successfully obtained by acidic sol–gel polycondensation of oligo(phenylenevinylene) (OPV)‐bridged organosilane and tetraethoxysilane precursors in the presence of a template surfactant. The OPV‐bridged organosilane precurso…
Although scanning thermal microscope has shown the highest spatial resolution in local temperature and thermophysical property measurement, its usefulness has been severely limited due to difficulties in quantitative measurement. We propose a double scan technique that measures temperature only from the heat transfer…
The synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles by coprecipitation of ferrous and ferric ions was optimized in aqueous and organic medium. For both syntheses, the influence of different factors on the nanoparticle size was successfully evaluated by the “design of experiments” method. This methodology allows finding in very…
