How natural materials remove heavy metals from water: mechanistic insights from molecular dynamics simulations

Wanda Andreoni, Fabio Pietrucci

Water pollution by heavy metals is of increasing concern due to its devastating effects on the environment and on human health. For the removal of heavy metals from water sources, natural materials, such as spent-coffee-grains or orange/banana/chestnut pee ...

Metal-Stabilized Boronate Ester Cages

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Erica Giraldi

Molecular cages with arylboronate ester caps at the vertices are described. The cages were obtained by metal-templated polycondensation reactions of a tris(2-formylpyridine oxime) ligand with arylboronic acids. Suited templates are triflate or triflimide s ...

Half-clathrochelate Complexes as Versatile Links in Supramolecular Chemistry

Erica Giraldi

Clathrochelate complexes have been widely investigated with different size and shape and used as building blocks for the obtainment of discrete supramolecular architectures. These clathrochelate complexes are very stable and kinetically inert complexes. A ...

Computer Simulation of the Surface of Aqueous Ionic and Surfactant Solutions

Mária Lbadaoui-Darvas

The surface of aqueous solutions of simple salts was not the main focus of scientific attention for a long while. Considerable interest in studying such systems has only emerged in the past two decades, following the pioneering finding that large halide io ...

Shape retaining self-healing metal-coordinated hydrogels

Raffaele Mezzenga, Alvaro Lino Boris Charlet, Esther Amstad

Metal-coordinated hydrogels are physical hydrogels entirely crosslinked by complexes between ligand decorated polymers and metal ions. The mechanical properties of these hydrogels strongly depend on the density and dynamics of metal-coordinated interaction ...

In situ nanoscale studies of copper-based catalysts for carbon dioxide electroreduction

Karla Banjac

The urgency of climate change demands the simultaneous removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the transition to renewable energy sources. This aim is realizable through electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR), which is a promising ro ...

Load-bearing hydrogels ionically reinforced through competitive ligand exchanges

Esther Amstad, Mathias Steinacher, Matteo Hirsch, Ran Zhao

Fast advances in soft robotics and tissue engineering demand for new soft materials whose mechanical properties can be interchangeably and locally varied, thereby enabling, for example, the design of soft joints within an integral material. Inspired by nat ...

Using collective knowledge to assign oxidation states of metal cations in metal-organic frameworks

Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Berend Smit, Daniele Ongari, Kevin Maik Jablonka

Knowledge of the oxidation state of metal centres in compounds and materials helps in the understanding of their chemical bonding and properties. Chemists have developed theories to predict oxidation states based on electron-counting rules, but these can f ...

Carboxymethyl cellulose nanocomposite beads as super-efficient catalyst for the reduction of organic and inorganic pollutants

Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin

Carboxymethyl cellulose/copper oxide-nickel oxide (CMC/CuO-NiO) nanocomposite beads were prepared by facile, simple and environmentally friendlymethod. Initially, CuO-NiOwas prepared and applied for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The resu ...

Infrared Activities of Adsorbed Species on Metal Surfaces: The Puzzle of Adsorbed Methyl (CH3)

Rainer Beck, Harmina Vejayan

Reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) is widely used to identify molecular adsorbates on metals during surface chemical reactions, but the interpretation of RAIRS data can be difficult with experiment alone. Here, we reveal from first-princip ...
