Ligand electronic parameters as a measure of the polarization of the C≡O bond in [M(CO)(x)L(y)]n complexes and of the relative stabilization of [M(CO)(x)L(y)](n/n+1) species

Zobi, Fabio

In: Inorganic Chemistry, 2010, vol. 49, no. 22, p. 10370-10377

The electronic description of octahedral (fac-[M(CO)(3)L(3)](n), with M = Re, Ru, and Mn, and [Cr(CO)(5)L](n)), square-planar (cis-[Pt(CO)(2)L(2)](n)), and tetrahedral ([Ni(CO)(3)L](n)) carbonyl complexes (where L = monodentate ligand) was obtained via density functional theory and natural population analyses in order to understand what effects are probed in these species by vibrational...

Carbon‐assisted stable silver nanostructures

Abdollahi, S. Narjes ; Ochoa Martínez, Efraín ; Kilchoer, Cédric ; Kremer, Geoffroy ; Jaouen, Thomas ; Aebi, Philipp ; Hellmann, Tim ; Mayer, Thomas ; Gu, Yibei ; Wiesner, Ulrich B. ; Steiner, Ullrich ; Wilts, Bodo D. ; Gunkel, Ilja

Nanostructured silver stands out among other plasmonic materials because its optical losses are the lowest of all metals. However, nanostructured silver rapidly degrades under ambient conditions, preventing its direct use in most plasmonic applications. Here, a facile and robust method for the preparation of highly stable nanostructured silver morphologies is introduced. 3D nanostructured...

A nano-rattle SnO2@carbon composite anode material for high-energy Li-ion batteries by melt diffusion impregnation

Maharajan, Sivarajakumar ; Kwon, Nam Hee ; Brodard, Pierre ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Nanomaterials, 2020, vol. 10, no. 4, p. 804

The huge volume expansion in Sn-based alloy anode materials (up to 360%) leads to a dramatic mechanical stress and breaking of particles, resulting in the loss of conductivity and thereby capacity fading. To overcome this issue, SnO2@C nano- rattle composites based on < 10 nm SnO2 nanoparticles in and on porous amorphous carbon spheres were synthesized using a silica template and tin melting...

Hierarchically porous reduced graphene oxide coated with metal–organic framework hkust-1 for enhanced hydrogen gas affinity

Song, Kyung Seob ; Kim, Daeok ; Coskun, Ali

In: ACS Applied Nano Materials, 2020, vol. 3, no. 2, p. 985–991

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials that have been actively explored for various gas storage, separation, and conversion applications because of their structural tunability. While the micropores (<2 nm) in MOFs are essential for increased gas affinity, these small pores significantly decrease the mass-transport kinetics. One way to address this challenge is to ...

Tautomerism as primary signaling mechanism in metal sensing: the case of amide group

Deneva, Vera ; Dobrikov, Georgi ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Nedeltcheva, Daniela ; Fromm, Katharina M. ; Antonov, Liudmil

In: Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019, vol. 15, no. 1, p. 1898–1906

The concept for sensing systems using the tautomerism as elementary signaling process has been further developed by synthesizing a ligand containing 4- (phenyldiazenyl)naphthalene-1-ol as a tautomeric block and an amide group as metal capturing antenna. Although it has been expected that the intramolecular hydrogen bonding (between the tautomeric hydroxy group and the nitrogen atom from the...
