When medical options for axillary hyperhidrosis have failed, botulinum toxin is an effective, safe, and well-tolerated, although temporary, treatment option. For long-lasting or permanent efficacy, some patients turn to local procedures, such as superficial liposuction or manual curettage, or more invasive local surgery. Newer, minimally invasive treatments have become available, such as microw...

The bis(stibido) complex CpCp*Hf(SbMes2)2 (2) was prepared and structurally characterized. Complex 2 reacts with 2 equiv of xylylisocyanide to give the bis-insertion product CpCp*Hf[C(SbMes2)=N(2,6-MeC6H3)]2 (4). The reaction of 2 with oxidants (I2 and O2) or donors (carbon monoxide and diphenylacetylene) or thermolysis promotes the reductive elimination of Sb2Mes4.

The thermolysis of a heterobimetallic Sn-Co organometallic precursor resulted in the formation of hollow Sn/CoOx nanomaterials through galvanic reaction between metal species. The Sn/CoOx nanohollows with 6.1 nm diameter and ~1.5 nm shell thickness showed excellent lithium storage capacity of up to 857 mA h g(-1) after 30 cycles.

Novel shape- and structural-controlled superparamagnetic nanostructures composed of self-supported spherical and rod-like CoFe(2)O(4) colloidal nanocrystals have been prepared by thermolysis of a stoichiometric Co(2+)Fe(2)(3+)-oleate complex in organic solution with periodic injection of hexane for controlling the nucleation, assembly, and growth of the nuclei.

Pre-introducing an extra carbon source into the porous aromatic framework of PAF-1 followed by thermolysis affords a new microporous carbon material, which demonstrates a CO2 uptake capacity of 93 cm(3) g(-1) (equivalent to 4.1 mmol g(-1) or 18.2 wt%) at 295 K and 1 bar.

Ir-catalyzed C-H borylation is found to be compatible with Boc protecting groups. Thus, pyrroles, indoles, and azaindoles can be selectively functionalized at C-H positions beta to N. The Boc group can be removed on thermolysis or left intact during subsequent transformations.

A series of new asymmetric ureas, urethanes, and other derivatives the framework structure have been synthesized by reactions adamantan-1-yl isocyanate generated in situ thermolysis carbamothioates with nitrogen-containing nucleophiles alcohols.
