a new nano-sized lead(ii) coordination polymer, [pb(2-bpdh)(no3)2]n (1); (2-bpdh = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene)}, was synthesized by a sonochemical method. the structure of 1 may be considered coordination polymer of lead(ii) consist of metallocyclicchains formed by bridging no3- and 2-bpdh ligands. the thermal stability of compound was studied by thermal gravimetric and differen...

After improving the preparation of the azimines 9 (a = methyl, b = ethyl ester), we reinvestigated the mild thermolysis of 9 to 13 in CDCh: Unlike previously postulated, the azimines 9 first undergo a 1,4-H migration to the triazones 14 (step a), which suffer an elimination to yield the diazenes 16 (step b), which, in turn, are finally transformed by a 1,3-H migration to the carbazates 13 (step...

Thermochemical processing methods such as pyrolysis are of growing interest as a means of converting biomass into fuels and commodity chemicals in a sustainable manner. Macroalgae, or seaweed, represent a novel class of feedstock for pyrolysis that, owing to the nature of the environments in which they grow coupled with their biochemistry, naturally possess high metal contents. Although the imp...

Gold(I) halides, including AuCl and AuBr, were employed for the first time as precursors in the synthesis of Au nanoparticles. The synthesis was accomplished by dissolving Au(I) halides in chloroform in the presence of alkylamines, followed by decomposition at 60 degrees C. The relative low stability of the Au(I) halides and there derivatives eliminated the need for a reducing agent, which is u...

From magnetic resonance imaging to cancer hyperthermia and wireless control of cell signaling, ferrite nanoparticles produced by thermal decomposition methods are ubiquitous across biomedical applications. While well-established synthetic protocols allow for precise control over the size and shape of the magnetic nanoparticles, structural defects within seemingly single-crystalline materials co...

Thermolysis of a toluene solution containing [Fe3(CO)9(μ3-E)2] (E = S or Se) and [M(L)(CO)3(C CPh)], M = Mo or W, resulted in coupling of co-ordinated acetylide ligands with and without CO and formation of mixed-metal clusters [M2Fe3(L)2(CO)6(μ3-E)2{μ-CC(Ph)C(Ph)C}] (L = η-C5Me5, M = Mo, E = S 1 or Se 2; M = W, E = S 3 or Se 4; M = W, E = Te 5; L = η-C5H5, M = Mo, E = S 6 or Se 7; M = W, E = S ...
