The title compound, Rb+·H3CN2O-, has been crystallized in liquid ammonia as a reaction product of the reductive ammonolysis of the natural compound streptozocin. Elemental rubidium was used as reduction agent as it is soluble in liquid ammonia, forming a blue solution. Reductive bond cleavage in biogenic materials under kinetically controlled conditions offers a new approach to gain access to s...

We report the first synthesis of titanium nitride (TiN) nanoparticles inside the nanoscale channels of mesoporous silica SBA-15. The TiN precursor, Ti(NMe(2))(4) in toluene, was incorporated into the methyl group-modified channels of the SBA-15 powder. The functionalization of pore surfaces with methyl groups generates hydrophobic surfaces that facilitate impregnation with Ti(NMe(2))(4) and min...

Zinc-gallium oxynitride powders (ZnGaON) were synthesized by nitridation of ZnGa2O4 oxide precursor obtained by polymeric precursors (PP) and solid state reaction (SSR) methods and the influence of the synthesis route of ZnGa2O4 on the final compound ZnGaON was investigated. Crystalline single phase ZnGa2O4 was obtained at 1100 oC / 12 h by SSR and at 600 oC / 2 h by PP with different grain siz...

Ethylene glycol is regarded as a promising C2 platform molecule due to the fast development of its production from sustainable biomass. This study inquired structural requirements Co-based catalysts for liquid-phase ammonolysis ethylene value-added ethanolamine. We showed that rate and selectivity on γ-Al2O3-supported Co were strongly affected by metal particle size within range 2–10 nm, among ...

The title compound has been prepared starting from phosphorothionic triamide SP(NH2)3 by methylation of the sulfur atom and subsequent ammonolysis reaction in dry acetonitrile and dichloromethane, respectively, both at room temperature. Suitable single crystals are obtained from an acetonitrile solution in a temperature gradient between 70 °C and room temperature. The crystal structure of [P(NH...
