The synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) alloyed efficient electrocatalysts with several active sites has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this work, trimetallic palladium-silver-copper (PdAgCu) nanosheet assemblies (NSAs) are synthesized the presence cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and molybdenum hexacarbonyl as structure-directing agents. morphologies structures PdAgCu NSAs id...

Inorganic chemistry became a passion for me as a graduate student in the 1950s. It was exciting to be part of the renaissance of the discipline, and I am pleased to have contributed to its strength. Physical concepts applied to the understanding of the properties of transition metal compounds guided our work initially. In the 1970s, probably as a direct result of the world abandoning the gold s...

Single-molecule magnets are a type of coordination compound that can retain magnetic information at low temperatures. Single-molecule magnets based on lanthanides have accounted for many important advances, including systems with very large energy barriers to reversal of the magnetization, and a di-terbium complex that displays magnetic hysteresis up to 14 K and shows strong coercivity. Ligand ...

There is much about the action of bismuth within heterogeneous catalysis that still require a deeper understanding. We observed that, when Bi was added to AuPd bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) supported on activated carbon, affected activity and significantly alters selectivity in two model liquid phase reactions, namely oxidation cinnamyl alcohol hydrogenation cinnamaldehyde. A combination trans...
