In order to improve strategies for the design of spin-crossover materials, it is necessary develop and understand structure–property relationships, this best achieved by obtaining isostructural materials. work we synthesized a series four cocrystal solvates using [Fe(3-bpp)2][A]2 complex 2,2-dipyridyl disulfide coformer in methanol ethanol (A = BF4– or PF6–). The properties materials were deter...

The Front Cover shows that nanoengineering is a breakthrough way to look at the electrocatalysis field under different perspective. In their Research Article, M. Aurélio Suller Garcia, T. Silva Rodrigues and co-workers provided design of hollow AgPt-based electrocatalyst with improved resistance methanol for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells applications. After immobilization onto SiO2, nanostructures...

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are considered to be one of the most promising candidates for portable and stationary applications in the view of their advantages such as high energy density, easy manipulation, high efficiency and they operate with liquid fuel which could be used without requiring any fuel-processing units. Electrolyte membrane of DMFC plays a key role as a proton conductor ...

Canonical ensemble molecular dynamics simulations of liquid methanol, modeled using a rigidbody, pair-additive potential, are used to compute static distributions and temporal correlations of tagged molecule potential energies as a means of characterising the liquid state dynamics. The static distribution of tagged molecule potential energies shows a clear multimodal structure with three distin...

the thermodynamic properties of fluids can be predicted using the global equations of state. among these thermodynamic properties of fluids, we choose the densities of the liquid and vapor phases. this paper considers the application of the crossover model to the vapor-liquid rectilinear diameter of sulfurhexafluoride. we also present a comparison of the crossover model equation with the experi...

A mean-field theory is presented which describes the basic observations of recent experiments revealing rich wetting behaviour of n-alkane/methanol mixtures at the liquid–vapour interface. The theory is based on a microscopic lattice-gas model from which a Cahn–Landau phenomenological approach is derived. Besides the physics associated with the short-range components of the intermolecular inter...
