Electrochemical synthesis suggested a mild, green and atom-efficient route to interesting and useful molecules, thus avoiding harsh chemical oxidizing and reducing agents used in traditional synthetic methods. Organic electrochemistry offers an excel...

In the present work, the interaction strength of Carbon Monoxide (CO) with a set of forty-two, strategically selected, functionalized benzenes was calculated. Our ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-311++G** level of theory reveal that phenyl hydroge...

Mechanochemistry is a method that can cover the energy demand of reaction pathways between solid materials. This requires enough energy to maintain the reactions between the starting materials. This is called “high-energy milling”. In our...

We investigated the adsorption properties and the dielectric behavior of a very well-known metal-organic framework (MOF), namely Cu3(BTC)2 (known as HKUST-1; BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate), before and after protection with some amines. This treat...

Arylboronic acids are commonly used in modern organic chemistry to form new C–C and C–heteroatom bonds. These activated organic synthons show reactivity with heteroatoms in a range of substrates under ambient oxidative conditions. This br...

In this work, we study the kinetics of thermal decomposition of MgCO3 in the form of particles of known size. In the experiments, the material is heated to a known temperature in a vacuum oven, and it is characterized, both before and after heating,...

Polynuclear heterobimetallic coordination cages in which different metal cations are connected within a ligand scaffold are known to adopt a variety of polyhedral architectures, many of which display interesting functions. Within the extensive array...

Lithium oligo-α-pyridylamides are useful intermediates in coordination chemistry. Upon trans-metalation they have afforded a variety of extended metal atom chains (EMACs), which are currently investigated as molecular wires and single-molecule...

Supramolecular metal–organic cages, a class of molecular containers formed via coordination-driven self-assembly, have attracted sustained attention for their applications in catalysis, due to their structural aesthetics and unique properties....

Recently, catalysts with hydrotalcites and hydrotalcite-derived compounds have attracted particular interest due to their specific properties, mostly well-developed texture, high thermal stability, and favorable acid–base properties. In this wo...
