A synthetic protocol for the construction of new meso-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalinoporphyrins is described starting from 5-(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin. The reaction of this porphyrin with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran, followed by the reduction of the nitro group in the presence of NiCl2/NaBH4 afforded 5-(3-amino-4-(pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin....

Red phosphors BaTiF6:Mn(4+) with microrod and polyhedron morphologies have been prepared respectively by etching TiO2 and Ti(OC4H9)4 in a HF solution with an optimized concentration of KMnO4 at 1.5 mmol L(-1) in hydrothermal conditions. The red phosphor BaTiF6:Mn(4+) exhibits a broad excitation band in the blue region and sharp emission peaks in the red region. A white LED (WLED) fabricated wit...

Graphene/Mn3O4 composites were prepared by a simple hydrothermal process from KMnO4 using ethylene glycol as a reducing agent. Mn3O4 nanorods of 100 nm to 1 μm length were observed to be well-dispersed on graphene sheets. To assess the properties of these materials for use in supercapacitors, cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charging− discharging measurements were performed. Graphene/Mn3O4 ...

Small- and large-scale accidents often occur in workplaces handling hazardous chemical substances. These are usually caused by leaks, explosions, fires complex chemicals; a large proportion of these leaks. A release accident that injured four people occurred during an optical film-manufacturing process. This report analyzes the causes this provides effective measures for prevention. was abnorma...

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) with cathode and anode chambers was utilized to generate power while simultaneously removing COD from wastewater. By utilizing various oxidant solutions, it is possible increase the generated voltage. The chamber used for anaerobic treatment of synthetic wastewater (approximately 1000 mg/L), whereas contained solutions such as dilute hydrogen peroxide (300 KMnO4 K2Cr...

The reactivity of hydrogenated graphene when treated with oxidising agents, KMnO4 and KIO4 , as well as alkylated with benzyl bromide (BnBr) was studied. The probed reactions are strictly limited to the partly hydrogenated form of graphene in which most of the hydrogen atoms are located in activated benzylic/allylic positions. This, in turn, clearly demonstrates the presence of hydrogen attache...

Mn/Pb and Mn/Ni mixed oxide were prepared at ambient temperature by reduction of KMnO4 with Mn, Pb, and Ni salts. This low-temperature approach provides amorphous structure of the active material. The specific capacitance of pure MnO2 was estimated to be 166 F/g and increased to 210 and 185 F/g for Mn/Ni and Mn/Pb oxides, respectively. The carbon loading was optimized at 20 wt %. Based on a sin...

An exfoliated graphite-polystyrene composite electrode was evaluated as an alternative electrode in the oxidation and the determination of oxalic acid in 0.1 M Na2SO4 supporting electrolyte. Using CV, LSV, CA procedures, linear dependences I vs. C were obtained in the concentrations range of oxalic acid between 0.5 to 3 mM, with LOD =0.05 mM, and recovery degree of 98%, without need of surface ...
