Alkali metal fluorides (MF) are commodity chemicals currently synthesized from naturally occurring fluorite (fluorspar, CaF2) in two steps: conversion of acid grade fluorspar (AGF) into highly hazardous hydrogen fluoride (HF) followed by neutralization with alkali hydroxides/carbonates. Herein, we report a one-step mechanochemical reaction that converts AGF under basic conditions, bypassing HF. The method consists reacting (hydr)oxides and titanium dioxide (TiO2) mechanical energy for MF...
Abstract Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent, bioaccumulative anthropogenic pollutants that have attracted the attention of public private sectors because their adverse impact on human health 1 . Although various technologies been deployed to degrade PFASs with a focus non-polymeric functionalized compounds (perfluorooctanoic acid perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) 2–4 , general PFAS destruction method coupled fluorine recovery for upcycling is highly desirable....
Objectives To compare the effects of spinal thrust manipulation and electrical dry needling (TMEDN group) to those nonthrust peripheral joint/soft tissue mobilization, exercise, interferential current (NTMEX on pain disability in patients with subacromial syndrome (SAPS). Design Randomized, single-blinded, multicenter parallel-group trial. Methods Patients SAPS were randomized into TMEDN group (n = 73) or NTMEX 72). Primary outcomes included Shoulder Pain Disability Index numeric pain-rating...
A series of isomeric bis-2,6-(monoalkoxyphenyl)pyridine and bis-2,6-(dialkoxyphenyl)pyridine ligands were synthesized characterized. In order to prepare their chlorogold(III) complexes, intermediate chloromercury(II) complexes first prepared, but unlike observations from previous studies where they obtained impure at best in moderate yield, here pure synthesized, many rather high yields. Depending on the substitution pattern alkoxy chains ligands, mono- and/or dimercurated obtained,...
The C^N^C pincer ligand shown may be aurated via a well-characterised dimercury( ii ) complex, dinuclear palladium( complex or directly using rhodium( iii catalyst.
The hydrogen/halogen exchange of phosphines has been exploited to establish a truly useable substrate scope and straightforward methodology for the formation cyclopolyphosphines. Starting from single dichlorophosphine, sacrificial proton "donor phosphine" makes rapid, mild synthesis cyclopolyphosphines possible: reactions are complete within 10 min at room temperature. Novel (aryl)cyclopentaphosphines (ArP)5 have formed in good conversion, with crystal structures presented. use catalytic...
The optical and electrochemical properties of quadruply bonded dimolybdenum paddlewheel complexes (Mo2PWCs) make them ideal candidates for incorporation into functional materials or devices, but one the greatest bottlenecks this is their poor stability toward atmospheric oxygen. By tuning potential at which Mo2 core oxidized, it was possible to increase tolerance Mo2PWCs air. A series homoleptic bearing fluorinated formamidinate ligands have been synthesized studied. oxidation tuned in a...
Maria Talavera opened a general discussion of the paper by Jennifer A. Love: In your studies you use methanol as both solvent and reagent. Have tried to change in stoichiometric amounts? It would be useful obtain monomethoxylation, case deut
The complex bis(tetrabutylammonium) (trans-μ2:η2,η2-1,3-butadiene)bis(trichloroplatinate(II)), identified from its X-ray single-crystal structure, is formed when tetrabutylammonium hexachloroplatinate(IV) irradiated in solution. In principle, the can exist one of four conformers (combining cis and trans isomers butadiene syn anti arrangements two PtCl3– moieties) DFT calculations suggest that three these ought to be stable solution CDCl3. However, dissolving anti,trans conformer (identified...
