Phosphane, PH3 -a highly pyrophoric and toxic gas-is frequently contaminated with H2 P2 H4 , which makes its handling even more dangerous. The inexpensive metal-organic framework (MOF) magnesium formate, α-[Mg(O2 CH)2 ], can adsorb up to 10 wt % of . -loaded MOF, @α-[Mg(O2 is a non-pyrophoric, recoverable material that allows brief in air, thereby minimizing the hazards associated transport phosphane. ] further plays critical role purifying from : at 25 °C, passes through MOF channels...

A N-hydroxy succinimide (NHS) ester substituted bis(acyl)phosphane oxide (ACTIVE-BAPO) was prepared by phospha-Michael addition and used for an easy one-step BAPO ligation with substrates containing primary amino groups, such as acids, proteins, poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers. Thereby, a range of new molecular polymeric photoinitators obtained. Real-time photo-rheology experiments demonstrated the outstanding efficiency PAMAM BAPOs photoinitiators free radical polymerization....

Abstract Addition of the P−H bond in bis(mesitoyl)phosphine, HP(COMes) 2 (BAPH), to a wide variety activated carbon–carbon double bonds as acceptors was investigated. While this phospha‐Michael addition does not proceed absence an additive or catalyst, excellent results were obtained with stoichiometric basic potassium caesium salts. Simple amine bases can be employed catalytic amounts, and tetramethylguanidine (TMG) particular is outstanding catalyst that allows preparation...

Abstract. Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) originating from deserts, semi-arid regions, and dried lakebeds may cause heterogeneous ice nucleation, impacting cloud properties. Recently, due to climate change water scarcity, abandoned agricultural lands with little surficial crust negligible vegetation cover have become an increasing source of atmospheric dust worldwide. Unlike these areas are rich in soluble salt (bio-)organic compounds. Using soil samples various sites the Lake Urmia playa...
