CO x Free Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Decomposition of Methane Over Porous Ni/Al2O3 Catalysts

Ultrafast isomerization initiated by X-ray core ionization.

Rapid proton migration is a key process in hydrocarbon photochemistry. Charge migration and subsequent proton motion can mitigate radiation damage when heavier atoms absorb X-rays. If rapid enough, this can improve the fidelity of diffract-before-destroy measurements of biomolecular structure at X-ray-free electron lasers. Here we study X-ray-initiated isomerization of acetylene, a model for pr...

Extending NC and RNC Algorithms

A technique is presented by which NC and RNC algorithms for some problems can be extended into NC and RNC algorithms, respectively, that solve more general parametric problems. The technique is demonstrated on explicit bounded degree circuits. Applications include parametric extensions of the shortest-path and spanning-tree problems and, in particular, the minimum-ratio-cycle problem, showing a...

Catalytic platinum-initiated cation-olefin reactions with alkene terminating groups.

A series of phosphine-Pt(2+)-catalysts is reported, which enable the oxidative cascade cyclization of poly-alkene substrates. When the terminus is appropriately arranged and a catalyst reoxidation mediator is included, several polycyclic all carbon skeletons can be obtained. In one example, a chiral P2Pt(+2) catalyst provides up to 79% ee.
