the ability of natural clinoptilolite and its modified forms were studied for removal of pahs from n-paraffin. surfactant modified zeolite (smz) was obtained by modifying clinoptilolite with hexadecyltrimethylammonium ion. homoionic forms of zeolite were obtained by ion exchange process using inorganic salts of desirable cations (e.g. ag+, fe3+…). natural clinoptilolite and its cation exchanged...

By employing (1)H NMR spectroscopy and molecular simulations, we provide an explanation for recent observations that the aqueous solubilities of ionic liquids exhibit salting-out to salting-in regimes upon addition of distinct inorganic salt ions. Using a typical ionic liquid [1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide], we observed the existence of preferential specific inte...

Unlike many plants reported in the literature, lupins do not excrete OH(-) in amounts equivalent to the net excess of inorganic anion uptake over inorganic cation uptake. To investigate the mechanisms involved in the maintenance of charge balance, nutrient uptake and organic anion accumulation of lupins and peas supplied with a range of NO(3)(-) concentrations, were compared. Lupins absorbed le...

Zn(II) complexes bearing multiple auxiliary organic groups greatly accelerate the cleavage of a phosphate diester.

An organic-inorganic hybrid double perovskite-type cage-like crystal, (MA)2KBiCl6 (MA = methylammonium Cation, 1), was synthesized. It undergoes structural phase transitions at 336/326 K (heating/cooling). Various-temperature single-crystal analysis reveal that...

Abstract Organic cations influence the crystal packing and, less commonly, electronic structure of hybrid organic–inorganic materials. Two new compounds prepared from solution, (PEA)SbCl 6 and (PEA) 4 Sb 2 Cl 12 (PEA=phenylethylammonium), demonstrate how aromatic PEA cation modifies structures relative to inorganic antimony chlorides. In ethylammonium conformation results in a polar chiral stru...

To fully unlock the potential of metal halide perovskites (MHPs) for use in optoelectronic devices, a comprehensive understanding their electronic properties is strong demand but presently lacking. This photoelectron spectroscopy study reveals that thin films three important mixed-cation/mixed-halide MHPs behave like intrinsic semiconductors with very low defect concentration. The Fermi level p...
