Synthesis and utilization of a simple copper on iron catalyst in the coupling of aryl halides with thiols through disulfide intermediate is reported. The iron support of copper catalyst ensures reductive media for the coupling, allows easy removal of the metals by outer magnetic field and enables the recycling of the catalyst.

This work describes a highly active and stable acid activated carbon fibre and amorphous MoS(x) composite hydrogen evolution catalyst. The increased electrochemical-surface area is demonstrated to cause increased catalyst electrodeposition and activity. These composite electrodes also show an improved stability towards the mechanical degradation of the MoS(x) catalyst.

in this research, (carboxy-3-oxopropylamino)-3-propylsilylcellulose (copapsc) as an organocatalyst, has been synthesized by grafting of succinic anhydride on the nh2-modified cellulose (cellulose functionalized with 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane). the –co2h group-functionalized cellulose (copapsc) is used as a catalyst for the synthesis of coumarin derivatives from the reaction of phenolic subs...

The role of the crystal morphology and dissolution kinetics of Grubbs’ catalyst on self-healing capability is examined. Self-healing polymers require complete coverage of the crack plane with polymerized healing agent for optimal recovery of mechanical integrity. Lack of catalyst leads to incomplete coverage, partial polymerization, and poor mechanical recovery. Catalyst availability is determi...

The theoretical characterization of the self-organizing molecular structures emerging from ensembles of distinct interacting chemicals turns to be very important in revealing those dynamics that led to the transition from the non-living to the living matter as well as in the design of artificial protocells [12, 13, 14]. In this work we aim at studying the role of a semi-permeable membrane, i.e....

The MIT Lincoln Laboratory IDS evaluation methodology is a practical solution in terms of evaluating the performance of Intrusion Detection Systems, which has contributed tremendously to the research progress in that field. The DARPA IDS evaluation dataset has been criticized and considered by many as a very outdated dataset, unable to accommodate the latest trend in attacks. Then naturally the...

Due to the efficient product separation and catalyst immobilization, multi-phase catalytic systems are attractive for industrial applications. Nevertheless, it is usually difficult to decouple reaction and mass transfer kinetics such that the experimental determination of reaction kinetics is masked by mass transfer effects. A novel incremental identification methodology tailored to homogeneous...

This review presents a summary of reactions performed using microwave irradiation. This green processes have resulted through use of less or no catalyst, readily recyclable solvents and yield that are often higher than conventional method. It also focus on the principle of microwave activation, various types of Microwave Reactor and its characteristics.

The chemical reactions are very complex, and include oscillation, condensation, catalyst and self-organization, etc. In these case changes of entropy may increase or decrease. The second law of thermodynamics is based on an isolated system and statistical independence. If fluctuations magnified due to internal interactions exist in the system, entropy will decrease possibly. In chemical reactio...

In general terms, submicron particles can be prepared either by disintegration of larger entities, or by synthesis from small building blocks such as atoms, ions or molecules. By comparison to disintegration techniques, the latter approach provides efficient access to particles down to the nanometer size regime; and it can allow for the controlled synthesis of particles in terms of size, size d...
