Cis-(Ph3P)2PtCl2 and cis-(Ph3P)2PtCO3 were prepared mechanochemically from solid reactants in the absence of a solvent; cis-(Ph3P)2PtCl2 was obtained in 98% yield after ball-milling of polycrystalline PtCl2 and Ph3P; the mechanically induced solid-state reaction of cis-(Ph3P)2PtCl2 with an excess of anhydrous K2CO3 produced cis-(Ph3P)2PtCO3 in 70% yield; the formation of transition metal comple...

We investigate the validity of a Markov approach for the motility of kinesin. We show in detail how the various mechanochemical states and reaction rates that are experimentally measured, can be used to create a Markov-chain model. We compare the performance of this model to motility data and we find global similarities in the load and ATP-concentration dependency of speed and mean run length. ...

We demonstrate a mechanochemical strategy that allowed the first successful mechanosynthesis of IRMOFs based on an oxo-centred secondary building unit (SBU). The presented study indicates that controlling the acid-base relationship between reagents is key to mechanochemical synthesis of IRMOFs, revealing a pre-assembled oxo-zinc amidate cluster as an efficient precursor for IRMOF mechanosynthesis.

The development of solid electrolytes is necessary for practical applications all-solid-state Na-ion batteries. In this study, we systematically developed sulfide conductors with central cations, prepared by solid-state reaction and mechanochemical methods. Thermodynamically stable crystals Na5InS4 NaInS2 were obtained the method, whereas amorphous and/or metastable phases produced method. Two ...

OBJECTIVE Endovenous techniques are, at present, the recommended choice for truncal vein treatment. However, the thermal techniques require tumescent anaesthesia, which can be uncomfortable during administration. Non-tumescent, non-thermal techniques would, therefore, have potential benefits. This randomised controlled trial is being carried out to compare the degree of pain that patients exper...

Catalyzed reactions of organic substrates that operate continuously by extrusion techniques are rare. In this study, we developed a mechanochemical bromination unactivated naphthalene (1) with 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH), catalyzed zeolites in ball mill. The use DBDMH enabled the atom economy reaction to be superior compared other brominating agents evaluated. Among tested, FAU-ty...

• The surface plays an important role in oligomerization of ?-pinene by providing reactive oxygen sites. Shear stress is the key driver mechanochemical reactions. can activate multiple reaction pathways that are not accessible thermally. induces physical deformation reacting species to make them more reactive. Mechanochemical reactions play a critical many manufacturing, tribological, and synth...

Solid-state magnesium ion conductors with exceptionally high ionic conductivity at low temperatures, 5 × 10-8 Scm-1 at 30 °C and 6 × 10-5 Scm-1 at 70 °C, are prepared by mechanochemical reaction of magnesium borohydride and ethylenediamine. The coordination complexes are crystalline, support cycling in a potential window of 1.2 V, and allow magnesium plating/stripping. While the electrochemical...

The mechanism of the mechanochemical synthesis cubic ZnS from its elements via ball milling was studied by in situ synchrotron diffraction experiments coupled with gas pressure measurements inside vessel. combination both techniques reveals a heterogeneous reaction including gaseous sulfur and solid zinc. Moreover, kinetics phase transition to hexagonal determined experiments. More information ...

Heteroatom doping into the graphitic frameworks have been intensively studied for the development of metal-free electrocatalysts. However, the choice of heteroatoms is limited to non-metallic elements and heteroatom-doped graphitic materials do not satisfy commercial demands in terms of cost and stability. Here we realize doping semimetal antimony (Sb) at the edges of graphene nanoplatelets (Gn...
