dft calculations were used to investigate adsorptionof  f-, cl-, li+ and na+ ions on the exterior surface of mg12o12 nanocage in the gas phase and water media. the most favorite position for adsorption of the studied anions and cations are atop of mg and o atoms of mg12o12, respectively. the strongest interaction is obtained when fluoride is located atop of mg atom with the adsorption energy of...

Metalloporphirins; Cu(TPP), Mn(TPP)Cl, CO(TPP), Fe(TPP)Cl, zn(TPP) and Mn(OBP)Cl catalyze region and chemoselective silylation of hydroxyl groups with HMDS. Fe(TPP)Cl is the most effective catalyst and silylation occurs immediately in its presence at room temperature.

The synthesis, spectroscopy and magnetic characterization of five new dinuclear copper(II) complexes are described. All five compounds have the general formula [Cu2(L)4(O-R)2](Cl)2 or [Cu2(L)2(Cl)2](Cl)2, in which R = CH3 or H, L=2, 3 or 4-pyridinemethanol as L2, L3 or L4, respectively. The title compounds consist of dinuclear units with bridging methoxo groups in [Cu2(L4)4(O-CH3)2](Cl)2, hydro...
