Geometrically strained carbenes: Interdependence among geometry, spin multiplicity and reactivity
(2001)The singlet and triplet states of cyclobutenylidene 1 and benzocyclobutenylidene 2 have been studied computationally (using ab initio and DFT methods) in order to assess the effect of angle strain on the S-T gap of vinyl- ...

Low temperature and cost-effective growth of vertically aligned carbon nanofibers using spin-coated polymer-stabilized palladium nanocatalysts
(2015)We describe a fast and cost-effective process for the growth of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) at a temperature compatible with complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology, using highly stable polymer-Pd nanohybrid colloidal ...

Molecular dynamic simulations of carbon nanotubes in CO2 atmosphere
(2008)This work investigates by means of molecular dynamics the filling of carbon nanotubes by carbon dioxide molecules. Nanotubes of various sizes are simulated and the resulting CO2 density calculated. The effects of various ...

Multilayer composite ceramic-metal-DLC coatings for sliding wear applications
(1996)The design of anti-friction coatings able to perform well in different wear conditions without lubricants requires a combination of adequate hardness and toughness, good adhesion, a low friction coefficient and a low wear ...

Nanoporous activated carbon cloth as a versatile material for hydrogen adsorption, selective gas separation and electrochemical energy storage
(2017)The efficient storage of energy combined with a minimum carbon footprint is still considered one of the major challenges towards the transition to a progressive, sustainable and environmental friendly society on a global ...

On the potential use of quarry waste material for CO2 sequestration
(2016)The use of solid wastes rich in Ca2+, Mg2+ and Fe2+ for the ex situ sequestration of CO2 could provide an economically and technologically viable option for the reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Here, we investigate ...

A reductive-aggregation route to [Mn12O12(OMe) 2(O2CPh)16(H2O)2] 2- single-molecule magnets related to the [Mn12] family
(2004)Axes of power: Jahn-Teller isomerism (that is, Jahn-Teller distortion along different axes) accounts for the presence of both faster and slower relaxing magnetization dynamics of the title compound (see core structure

Reforming of methane with carbon dioxide to synthesis gas over supported Rh catalysts
(1994)Reforming of methane with carbon dioxide to synthesis gas (CO/H2) has been investigated over rhodium supported on SiO2, TiO2, γ-Al2O3, MgO, CeO2, and YSZ (ZrO2 (8 mol% Y2O3)) catalysts in the temperature range of 650-750°C ...

Stereochemistry of the [4 + 2] cycloadditions of trans,trans- and cis,trans-2,4-hexadiene to C60
(2002)The [4 + 2] cycloaddition of trans,trans-2,4-hexadiene with C60 proceeds via a concerted mechanism with retention of stereochemistry in the cycloadduct 1a. However, when cis,trans-2,4-hexadiene reacts with C60, isomerization ...

Strong paramagnetism and possible ferromagnetism in pure carbon nanofoam produced by laser ablation
(2005)We report the production of a hierarchically nanostructured magnetic carbon foam by high-repetition-rate laser ablation of glassy carbon in Ar. The clusters contain both sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon atoms. The material contains ...

Transmission electron microscopy of steam activated viscose rayon chars
(Publ by Electrochemical Soc Inc, 1991)It was established that TEM could be employed to provide complementary data on the nature of the pores formed, in particular, their size, shape and distribution within the fibre cross-section. It was found that the borate ...
