An active line of contemporary research is dedicated to the adsorption and storage hydrogen on metal-doped carbon materials. Using density functional theory van der Waals corrections we have studied molecular dissociative H2 neutral cationic C60Con complexes with n = 1–8. The Co atoms form compact clusters surface fullerene. Dissociative chemisorption one molecule more stable than C60Con, only ...

The synthesis of amorphous ultra-high molecular weight atactic polypropylene (UHMWaPP), with weights ( M w ) up to 2.0 MDa and narrow polydispersities is reported using remarkably efficient permethylindenyl-phenoxy (PHENI*) titanium complexes.

Using the IRAM 30m radio telescope we have mapped the tidal arm feature south–east of NGC3077 where we recently detected molecular gas in the CO (J=1→0) and (2→1) transitions. We find that the molecular gas is much more extended than previously thought (several kpc). The CO emission can be separated into at least 3 distinct complexes with equivalent radii between 250 pc and 700 pc – the newly d...

The Front Cover shows an “O2 grasshopper” captured by two “Copper scorpions” using their strong claws and tails (outer-sphere hydrogen bonds). As the key intermediate in biological oxygenation, trans-1,2-peroxodicopper adduct was mimicked a variety of molecular copper complexes. structure-activity models hydrogen-bond-assisted tetradentate copper(I) chloride complexes were established, fundamen...

Oxygen Evolution Catalysts Copper complexes, as a kind of molecular catalysts bio-inspired from the copper O2-activating enzymes, are attractive targets for water oxidation, which could undergo facile and reversible O-O bond formation cleavage under mild conditions. In article number 2201018, Jing-Xin Jian, Qing-Xiao Tong, co-workers investigate three copper(II) complexes oxygen evolution in ph...

in present studies the synthesis, characterization and biological properties ofoxovanadium(iv) coordination compounds of 4[n-(4′-ethylbenzalidene)amino] antipyrinethiosemicarbazone (ebaapts) and 4[n-(2′,4′-dimethylbenzalidene)amino] antipyrinethiosemicarbazone (dmbaapts) with the general composition vox2l (x = c1-, br-, i-, no3-or ncs-) and vo(cio4)2(l)h2o (l = ebaapts or dmbaapts) are describe...

Abstract The photoluminescence of lanthanide complexes originating from f–f transitions is generally sensitized through energy transfer the ligand to ion in excited state under UV irradiation. This phenomenon known as photo-antenna effect. Luminescence driven by mechanical stimuli, such tapping or rubbing, called mechanoluminescence triboluminescence (TL). In recent years, reports on TL rare-ea...

Various aromatic molecules can behave as electron donors and form molecular complexes with electron acceptor molecules such as halogens, mitrocompounds and quinones. Extensive works have been carried out to elucidate the nature of intermolecular interactions in these molecular complexes. Mulliken has developed the theory of the intermolecular CT interactions, which has been applied successfully...
