Porous CdSe nanorods having a novel flute-like morphology have been prepared facilely via the hydrothermal treatment of CdSe·(en)0.5 (en = ethylenediamine) nanorods as sacrificial templates. During the hydrothermal process, various crystalline imperfections such as stacking faults and twinning planes appear due to lattice mismatches between orthorhombic CdSe·(en)0.5 and hexagonal wurtzite porou...

The mechanochemical N-alkylation of imide derivatives was studied. Reactions under solvent-free conditions in a ball mill gave good yields and could be put in place of the classical solution conditions. The method is general and can be applied to various imides and alkyl halides. Phthalimides prepared under ball milling conditions were used in a mechanochemical Gabriel synthesis of amines by th...

Manganese is an abundant element that plays critical roles and at the reaction center of several enzymes. In order to promote understanding behavior manganese(II) ion with aliphatic ligands, in this work, stability spectral complexes ethylenediamine, 1,3-propanediamine or 1,4-butanediamine were explored. A spectrophotometric study its speciation methanol was performed 293 K. The formation const...

In the title mol-ecule, C(20)H(32)NPSe, the P atom has a distorted tetra-hedral environment resulting in an effective cone angle of 172°. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Se inter-actions are observed.

In this video Q & A, we talk to Ian Gilmore about the global burden of alcohol in terms of its scale, and its consequences in relation to non-communicable diseases and other illnesses. Sir Gilmore additionally discusses how the problem is being addressed, reviews the outcomes of recent initiatives and describes the challenge and future directions.
