Thermal, vibrational, and thermoelastic properties of Y2Mo3O12 and their relations to negative thermal expansion
(American Physical Society, 2014-07-21)
Y2 Mo3O12, a material that exhibits negative thermal expansion (NTE) from 10 to 1173 K, offers an excellent opportunity to examine relationships between NTE and other physical properties over a wide temperature range. We ...
Influence of B-Ring Modifications on Proton Affinity, Transmembrane Anion Transport and Anti-Cancer Properties of Synthetic Prodigiosenes
(Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 2014)
Prodigiosin is the parent compound of the tripyrrolic natural products known as the prodigiosenes. Some of these natural products and their synthetic analogs show anti-cancer, immunosuppressive and antimicrobial actions, ...
Synthesis and Antimalarial Activity of Prodigiosenes
(Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 2014)
Several analogues of the natural compound prodigiosin with modified A- and C-rings were synthesised as were some of their tin, cobalt, boron and zinc complexes. The antimalarial activity of these prodigiosenes was evaluated ...
Activation and Deprotection of F-BODIPYs using Boron Trihalides
(2014)
The activation of F-BODIPYs with boron trihalides, followed by treatment with a nuclephile, effects facile substitution at boron; using water as the nucleophile promotes deprotective removal of the–BF2 moiety and thereby ...
The Use of Tin (IV) Chloride to Selectively Cleave Benzyl Esters over Benzyl Ethers and Benzyl Amines
(Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 2014)
Benzyl esters are cleaved upon reaction with SnCl4, resulting in isolation of the corresponding carboxylic acid. Importantly, benzyl ethers, amines and amides do not undergo debenzylation under these conditions, nor do a ...
Synthesis of symmetric meso-H dipyrrin hydrobromides from 2-formyl pyrroles
(Synlett, 2014)
The reaction of 2-formyl pyrroles in acidic methanol gives the corresponding symmetric, meso-H 4,6-dipyrrin hydrobromides. This convenient strategy involves initial deformylation under the acidic conditions, followed by ...
A Combinatorial Investigation of Fe-Si-Zn Thin Film Negative Electrodes for Li-ion 2 Batteries (Preprint)
(IOP Publishing, 2014-11-07)
Sodium-ion batteries have the potential to be a low cost, sustainable replacement for lithium-ion batteries in large scale energy storage. The lack of practical negative electrode materials limit the development of Na-ion ...
A Combinatorial Investigation of Fe-Si-Zn Thin Film Negative Electrodes for Li-ion 1 Batteries (Preprint)
(IOP Publishing, 2014-12-04)
Thin-film Fe-Si-Zn libraries were investigated as negative electrode materials for Li-ion batteries using combinatorial and high-throughput techniques. X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe measurements were used to ...
Mixed Transition Metal Titanate and Vanadate Negative Electrode Materials for Na-Ion Batteries (Preprint)
(IOP Publishing, 2014-11-07)
Sodium-ion batteries have the potential to be a low cost, sustainable replacement for lithium-ion batteries in large scale energy storage. The lack of practical negative electrode materials limit the development of Na-ion ...
Li-ion Battery Negative Electrodes Based on the FexZn1-x Alloy System (Preprint)
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-12-10)
Thin-film Fe-Zn libraries were investigated as negative electrode materials for Li-ion batteries using combinatorial and high-throughput techniques. X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer effect spectroscopy and electron microprobe ...
