The electronic and steric effects as well as hydrogen bonds on the formation of the heteroligand complexes between monodentate amino acid based phosphoramidite and monodentate phosphine ligands were studied. Pure heterocomplex formation through the hydrogen bond between LEUPhos and a urea based phosphine is observed leading to highly active and selective catalyst. Substrate orientation through ...

In the title compound, C(11)H(12)N(4)O(5), the mean plane through the nitro substituent on the benzene ring is inclined to the benzene mean plane by 85.8 (2)°, which avoids steric inter-actions with the ortho substituents. The hydr-oxy group is involved in bifurcated hydrogen bonds. The first is an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond, involving the ester carbonyl O atom, which gives rise to the...

We have synthesized a new metastable metal hydride with promising hydrogen storage properties. Body centered cubic (bcc) magnesium niobium hydride (Mg(0.75)Nb(0.25))H(2) possesses 4.5 wt% hydrogen gravimetric density, with 4 wt% being reversible. Volumetric hydrogen absorption measurements yield an enthalpy of hydride formation of -53 kJ mol(-1) H(2), which indicates a significant thermodynamic...

The color changes in chemo- and photochromic MoO3 used in sensors and in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells can be traced back to intercalated hydrogen atoms stemming either from gaseous hydrogen dissociated at catalytic surfaces or from photocatalytically split water. In applications, the reversibility of the process is of utmost importance, and deterioration of the layer functionality due to si...

Exposure to high oxygen concentrations leads to acute lung injury, including lung tissue and alveolar edema formation, congestion, intra-alveolar hemorrhage, as well as endothelial and epithelial cell apoptosis or necrosis. Several studies have reported that molecular hydrogen is an efficient antioxidant by gaseous rapid diffusion into tissues and cells. Moreover, consumption of water with diss...

Titanium hydride powders are utilized to enhance the foaming process in the formation of orthopedic NiTi scaffolds during capsule-free hot isostatic pressing. In order to study the formation mechanism, the thermal behavior of titanium hydride and hydrogen release during the heating process are systematically investigated in air and argon and under vacuum by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal anal...

At high temperatures in toluene, [2,5-Ph(2)-3,4-Tol(2)(eta(5)-C(4)COH)]Ru(CO)(2)H (3) undergoes hydrogen elimination in the presence of PPh(3) to produce the ruthenium phosphine complex [2,5-Ph(2)-3,4-Tol(2)-(eta(4)-C(4)CO)]Ru(PPh(3))(CO)(2) (6). In the absence of alcohols, the lack of RuH/OD exchange, a rate law first order in Ru and zero order in phosphine, and kinetic deuterium isotope effec...

Although essential in critical care medicine, mechanical ventilation often results in ventilator-induced lung injury. Low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide have been proven to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects in the lung. The aim of this study was to analyze the kinetic effects of pre- and posttreatment with hydrogen sulfide in order to prevent lung injury as well as inflammat...

The interactions which occur when two diamond 1 I I I ) surfaces come into contact for short times have been examined via molecular dynamics. When both surfaces are hydrogen terminated these surfaces can be brought into contact, compressed, and separated with no damage to either surface. After compression and subsequent separation the surfaces and the bulk lattice regain their original geometry...

Iron and titanium form two known stable intermetallic compounds, FeTi and Fe2Ti. exists above 1000°C , decomposing to FeTi and T i below that temperature. We have briefly noted previousl;’ that one of these compounds, FeTi, will react directly with hydrogen to form a n easily decomposed hydride which may be useful as a hydrogen storage medium. Our primary purpose here is to discuss the Fe-Ti-H ...
