Characterization of the Network Structure of PEG Diacrylate Hydrogels Formed in the Presence of N-Vinyl Pyrrolidone

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

PEGDA hydrogels copolymerized with NVP using free-radical photopolymerization are used in biomedical applications. These networks consist of a poly(acrylate-co-vinyl pyrrolidone) backbone crosslinked with PEG chains whose crosslink density is dependent on ...

Impact of organic-ligand shell on catalytic performance of colloidal Pd nanoparticles for alkyne gas-phase hydrogenation

Lioubov Kiwi, Daniel André Samuel Lamey

Monodispersed Pd nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared by colloidal technique and deposited on a structured support consisting of carbon nanofibers (CNF) grown on sintered metal fibres (SMF). The surface properties of Pd NPs have been fine-tuned by (i) ch ...

Over 35% liquid-state 13C polarization via dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization at 7 T and 1 K with ubiquitous nitroxyl radicals

Arnaud Comment, Tian Cheng, Andrea Capozzi, Riccardo Balzan, Yuhei Takado

The most versatile method to increase liquid-state 13C NMR sensitivity is dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization. The use of trityl radicals is usually required to obtain very large 13C polarization via this technique. We herein demonstrate that up to 35 ...

Low-cost industrially available molybdenum boride and carbide as “platinum-like” catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction in biphasic liquid systems

Hubert Girault, Xile Hu, Kurt Schenk, Heron Vrubel, Véronique Amstutz, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

Rarely reported low-cost molybdenum boride and carbide microparticles, both of which are available in abundant quantities due to their widespread use in industry, adsorb at aqueous acid–1,2-dichloroethane interfaces and efficiently catalyse the hydrogen ev ...

Structure sensitivity of selective acetylene hydrogenation over the catalysts with shape-controlled palladium nanoparticles

Lioubov Kiwi, Rocio Micaela Crespo Quesada, Artur Elterovich Yarulin

The structure sensitivity of acetylene hydrogenation on catalysts with controlled shape of palladium nanoparticles was studied. Palladium particles of cubic (Pd-cub), cuboctahedral (Pd-co) and octahedral (Pd-oct) shapes were obtained by a colloidal method. ...

Development of Catalytic Umpolung : Part 1: Direct Alkynylation of Heterocycles and Electron-Rich Aromatics using Alkynyl-Benziodoxolones - Part 2: Synthesis of New Bifunctional (Thio)urea-Carbene Catalysts

Jonathan Brand

The development of efficient synthetic methodologies is crucial to access complex molecules in an economic, eco-friendly and safe way. The reversal of the intrinsic reactivity of functional groups, called Umpolung, allows alternative synthetic strategies a ...

Electrophilic alkynylation: the dark side of acetylene chemistry

Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand

In addition to the well-established nucleophilic alkynylation, the use of electrophilic alkynes can expand tremendously the scope of acetylene transfer reactions. The use of metal catalysis has recently led to a rebirth of this research area. Halogenoalkyn ...
