The present paper explores the utilisation of dopants to increase critical temperature Carbon Dioxide (sCO 2 ) as a solution towards maintaining high thermal efficiencies sCO cycles even when ambient temperatures compromise their feasibility. To this end, impact adopting CO -based mixtures on performance power blocks representative Concentrated Solar Power plants is explored, considering two po...

The coordinatively unsaturated 12-electron complex dichloro t-butylimido bispyridine titanium(IV) (2a) has been shown to react with CO(2) to give N,N-bis-t-butyl urea. Two analogous sterically hindered coordinatively saturated 14-electron complexes dichloro t-butylimido trispyridine titanium(IV) (10a) and dichloro 2,6-(i-Pr)(2)phenylimido trispyridine titanium(IV) (10b) also gave their correspo...

Hierarchical TiO(2) nanostructures would be desirable for preparing dye-sensitized solar cells because of their large amount of dye adsorption and superior light harvesting efficiency, as well as efficient charge separation and transport properties. In this study, rutile TiO(2) nano-branched arrays grown directly on transparent conductive glass (FTO) were prepared by a facile two-step wet chemi...

A novel and cost-effective catalyst for synthesis of 2,3'-dihydroquinazolin-4-(1H)-ones was developed utilizing a combined nanocomposite obtained from bonding TiCl3 to hydroxyl groups of nanofibrillated cellulose as a green and inexpensive support.The structure of the catalyst was investigated using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning...

A bio-based magnetic nano-catalyst (Fe3O4@nano-dextrin/Ti(IV)) was synthesized via the preparation of Fe3O4@nano-dextrinas magnetic support and then its treatment with titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4). The properties of this catalyst were characterized by different kinds of techniques such as FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, ICP, XRF, VSM and TGA....

The aminoiminoborane tmp-B=NCMe3 (1) adds to TiBr4 or ZrCL in a 1:1 ratio while PdCh adds 1 in a 1:2 ratio. In these new compounds the NBN unit is almost linear and the configuration corresponds to an allene. On the other hand 1 and Ti(OR)4 compounds and Ti(NMe2)4 give N metallated diaminoboranes tmp-B(X)-NCMe3EX3 (X = OR, NMe2). Mixed compounds Ti(OR)3_„X„ lead to diaminoboranes with BOR group...

The oxidation-reduction potential of the Cypridina luciferin-oxyluciferin system determined by a method of "bracketing" lies somewhere between that of anthraquinone 2-6-di Na sulfonate (E(o) (') at pH of 7.7 = -.22) which reduces luciferin, and quinhydrone (E(o) (') at pH of 7.7 = +.24), which oxidizes luciferin. Systems having an E(o) (') value between -.22 and +.24 volt neither reduce oxyluci...

Disaccharides that contain 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) and d-glycero-d-talo-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Ko) substituted at the 8-position by 4-amino-4-deoxy-β-l-arabinopyranosyl (Ara4N) residues have been prepared. Coupling an N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidate-4-azido-4-deoxy-l-arabinosylglycosyl donor to acetyl-protected allyl glycosides of Kdo and Ko afforded anomeric mixtures of disacchari...
