vanadium supported on highly ordered nanoporous silica (vox-lus-1) was synthesized and characterized by xrd, nitrogen adsorption‑desorption isotherms and uv-visible spectrophotometer. direct oxidation of benzene to phenol in liquid phase by h2o2 peroxide were examined by using various solvents (methanol, acetone, acetic acid, acetonitryl). the maximum yield (25%) and selectivity (73%) of the ph...

Carbon dioxide gas separation is important for many environmental and energy applications. Molecular dynamics simulations are used to characterize a two-dimensional hydrocarbon polymer, PG-ES1, that uses a combination of surface adsorption and narrow pores to separate carbon dioxide from nitrogen, oxygen, and methane gases. The CO2 permeance is 3 × 10(5) gas permeation units (GPU). The CO2/N2 s...

[reaction: see text] Very practical synthesis of ephedrine analogues in high yields and enantiopurity was realized by a highly diastereoselective Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reduction of protected alpha-amino aromatic ketones using catalytic aluminum isopropoxide. The high anti selectivity resulted from the chelation of the nitrogen anion to the aluminum. In contrast, high syn selectivity wa...

The conducting polymers such as polyaniline, polypyrrole and polythiophene were functionalized with copper phthalocyanine using chemical oxidation method. The obtained polymers viz. PANI-CuPc, PPy-CuPc and PT-CuPc were studied as chemical sensors by their response characteristics after exposure to various chemical vapors such as methanol, ammonia and nitrogen dioxide. The results obtained showe...

2-Azetidinones, commonly known as beta-lactams, are well-known heterocyclic compounds. Herein we described the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel beta-lactams. In vitro inhibition assays against HDAC isoforms showed an interesting isoform-selectivity of these compounds towards HDAC6 and HDAC8. The isoform selectivity changed in response to modification of the azetidinone-r...

Here, we report the synthesis of nitrogen-doped hollow carbon nanospheres (N-HCSs) via a two-step Stöber method. The resultant N-HCSs possess a uniform size of ∼220 nm, a high nitrogen loading content of 14.8 wt% and a high surface area of 767 m(2) g(-1), as well as exhibit a considerable performance for CO2 capture with a capacity of 2.67 mmol g(-1) and a high selectivity in a mixture gas (N2 ...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of reaction pressure on the toluene disproportionation reaction using ZSM-5 zeolite based catalyst impregnated with molybdenum. Results showed that there is a marked difference in toluene conversion and xylenes selectivity using nitrogen and hydrogen carrier gases and the reaction pressure. Toluene conversion under nitrogen pressure was higher than u...

Nitrogen-doped hierarchical porous carbons were synthesized successfully by a controllable one-pot method using glucose and dicyandiamide as carbon source and nitrogen source via hydrothermal carbonization process. The nitrogen-doped materials, possessing high nitrogen content (up to 7 wt%), large surface area (>320 m(2) g(-1)) and excellent hierarchical nanostructure, were employed as catalyst...
