A near-stoichiometric amount of O2 was evolved as observed in the visible-light irradiation of an aqueous buffer (pH 8) containing [Ru(II) (2,2'-bipyridine)3 ] as a photosensitizer, Na2 S2 O8 as a sacrificial electron acceptor, and a heteropolynuclear cyanide complex as a water-oxidation catalyst. The heteropolynuclear cyanide complexes exhibited higher catalytic activity than a polynuclear cya...

Precious metal nanoparticles are commonly used as the main active components of various catalysts. Given their high cost, limited quantity, and easy loss of catalytic activity under severe conditions, precious metals should be used in catalysts at low volumes and be protected from damaging environments. Accordingly, reducing the amount of precious metals without compromising their catalytic per...

Anthracyclines (such as doxorubicin or daunorubicin) are among the most effective anticancer drugs, but their usefulness is hampered by the risk of irreversible cardiotoxicity. Dexrazoxane (ICRF-187) is the only clinically approved cardioprotective agent against anthracycline cardiotoxicity. Its activity has traditionally been attributed to the iron-chelating effects of its metabolite with subs...

Well-dispersed bimetallic Ni-Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with different compositions have been successfully grown on the MIL-96 by a simple liquid impregnation method using NaBH4 as the reducing agent. Powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy measurements wer...

A series of porous polymers bearing functional quaternary ammonium salts were solvothermally synthesized through the free radical copolymerization of divinylbenzene (DVB) and functionalized quaternary ammonium salts. The obtained polymers feature highly cross-linked matrices, large surface areas, and abundant halogen anions. These polymers were evaluated as heterogeneous catalysts for the synth...

In the direct Mannich reaction and synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones, the use of organobismuth complexes as catalysts leads to high diastereoselectivity and products of single trans conformation. In this paper, we illustrate the relationship between structure and catalytic activity as well as diastereoselectivity of organobismuth complexes having a 5,6,7,12-tetrahydrodibenz [c,f][1,5]thiobis...

In order to develop a functional ionic liquid catalyst with good stability and excellent catalytic effect on the organic reactions under alkaline conditions, magnetic nanocatalyst of tertiary amine incorporated Fe3O4 was prepared applied in Knoevenagel reaction, exhibits performance short reaction time yields products were obtained. addition, can be separated rapidly external force reused for 8...

The Chinese film and television industry is witnessing the changing relationships of its governance between government other stakeholders. Understanding stakeholders their interactions critical to an improvement in performance collaborative regimes. This paper proposes institutional framework which emphasizes important role associations as aid terms improving media performance. Based on SFIC mo...

This study explores new chemical strategies for coating the hematite sand (HS) by conductive polymers to enhance persulfate activation performance. The highest catalytic activity was due synergistic effect between HS and polymers. In fact, conjugated could act as an activator electronic mediator promote conversion of Fe (III) (II). Hence, both used (polyaniline polypyrrole) have been found prov...
