With tungsten and lamp: Ketones were prepared by the photocatalytic generation of acyl radicals from aldehydes trapping them with equimolar amounts electrophilic alkenes. Photocatalysis tetrabutylammonium decatungstate is effective also at low temperatures (−20 to −50 °C), thus minimizing radical decarbonylation allowing acylation highly substituted aldehydes.

This work presents a systematic study of cellulose (CLS) as sacrificial biomass for photocatalytic H2 evolution from water. The idea is indeed to couple largely available and not expensive biomass, water, with renewable energy like solar radiation. An aqueous CLS suspension irradiated either at 366 nm (UV-A) or under sunlight in the presence Pt/TiO2 behaves evolving system. effects irradiation time, catalyst concentrations, pH water salinity are studied. Addition sample significantly...
Abstract Tetrabutylammonium decatungstate has been used for the photocatalytic activation of Si−H bond in trisubstituted silanes and applied hydrosilylation electron‐poor alkenes. The mechanism that occurs depends on silyl hydride used, as supported by laser flash photolysis EPR trapping experiments. Homolytic cleavage through a hydrogen atom transfer from silane to excited catalyst operates with dimethylphenylsilane methyldiphenylsilane, which yields were satisfactory. If we tertiary have...
A chemically modified gold electrode has been conveniently prepared by binding multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to which thiol functions have tethered. The characterized atomic force microscopy and oxidative desorption experiments gives excellent results for trace determination of As(III) Bi(III) in natural high-salinity waters, overcoming the limitation typical solid electrodes. mechanism preconcentration at is proposed supported obtained two similar electrodes (CMEs), first one with...
One of the emerging biopolymers that are currently under active investigation is bacterial poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA). However, before its full industrial exploitation, a substantial increase in microbial productivity required. γ-PGA obtained from Bacillus subtilis laboratory strain 168 offers advantage producer characterized by well defined genetic framework and simple manipulation techniques. In this strain, knockout genes for major degrading enzymes, pgdS ggt, leads to considerable...
Tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT, 2 x 10(-3) m) is an effective photocatalyst for the alkylation of electrophilic alkenes (0.1 m, alpha,beta-unsaturated nitriles, esters, ketones) by alkanes, alcohols, and ethers. The products are in most cases obtained >70 % isolated yields, through experimentally very simple procedure. kinetics radical processes following initial hydrogen abstraction excited TBADT deoxygenated MeCN have been studied. In absence a trap, back transfer from reduced...
A chiral molecular sensor is used to recognize ferrocene, with the chiroptical readout selectively in presence of competing analytes.
Wood decay fungi (WDF) seem to be particularly suitable for developing myco-materials due their mycelial texture, ease of cultivation, and lack sporification. This study focused on a collection WDF strains that were later used develop mycelium mats leather-like materials. Twenty-one chosen based the color, homogeneity, consistency mycelia. The growth rate each strain was measured. To improve thickness mats, an exclusive method (newly patented) developed. obtained materials corresponding pure...
Abstract Background Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy based on the intravenous administration of borated drug to patient and subsequent irradiation with low‐energy neutron beam. The formulation accumulates in tumor cells, when neutrons interact boron, nuclear capture reaction occurs, releasing high‐linear energy transfer, short‐range particles that cause lethal damage cancer cells. Due its selectivity, BNCT has potential treat aggressive brain tumors such as...
