Fe(II)-Catalyzed Ligand-Controlled Dissolution of Iron(hydr)oxides

Dissolution of iron(III)phases is a key process in soils, surface waters, and the ocean. Previous studies found that traces of Fe(II) can greatly increase ligand controlled dissolution rates at acidic pH, but the extent that this also occurs at circumneutr ...

Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications of Visible Light Active Metal-Organic Frameworks

Samantha Lynn Anderson

Understanding how crystalline materials are assembled is important for the rational design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Controlling their formation can allow researchers to streamline the synthesis of new materials as well as control their propertie ...

Tuning the structure, reactivity and magnetic communication of nitride-bridged uranium complexes with the ancillary ligands

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Ivica Zivkovic, Alberto Fabrizio, Luciano Barluzzi

Molecular uranium nitride complexes were prepared to relate their small molecule reactivity to the nature of the U & xe001;N & xe001;U bonding imposed by the supporting ligand. The U4+-U4+ nitride complexes, [NBu4][{(((BuO)-Bu-t)(3)SiO)(3)U}(2)(mu-N)], [NB ...

Orientation, rotation and solvation of ions in helium nanodroplets

Verónica Oliver Álvarez de Lara

Helium nanodroplets are liquid, finite size, nanoscale helium clusters that have been employed since the 1990s as a matrix for high-resolution spectroscopy of molecules. Spectroscopic studies of ionic species inside helium droplets were not however realise ...

Low Fe(II) Concentrations Catalyze the Dissolution of Various Fe(III) (hydr)oxide Minerals in the Presence of Diverse Ligands and over a Broad pH Range

Janet Gordon Hering

Dissolution of Fe(III) (hydr)oxide minerals by siderophores (i.e., Fe-specific, biogenic ligands) is an important step in Fe acquisition in environments where Fe availability is low. The observed coexudation of reductants and ligands has raised the questio ...

Stability profiles of transition metal oxides in the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline medium

Xile Hu, Aliki Moysiadou

The electrochemical water splitting reaction can convert renewable electricity into clean hydrogen fuel. The efficiency of water splitting is limited to a large extent by the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Numerous transition metal oxides have b ...

The Periodic Table and Kinetics?

André Merbach, Lothar Helm

Mendeleev in his first publication ordered the chemical elements following an apparent periodicity of properties such as atomic volume and valence. The reactivity of the elements was only studied systematically many years later. To illustrate the systemati ...
