A highly convergent synthesis of bis(triazolylphosphane oxides) was developed by a tandem copper-mediated Huisgen reaction-oxidative coupling. The phosphane oxides were reduced by trichlorosilane and the coordination of the resulting bisphosphanes was studied with various transition metals.

The first catalytic synthesis of exocyclic 1,3-dienylphosphine oxides was achieved by the ruthenium-catalyzed selective hydrophosphinylative cyclization of 1,6-diynes. A plausible mechanism involving a ruthenacyclopentatriene intermediate is proposed on the basis of the DFT calculations of model ruthenium complexes.

α-fe2o3 (hematite) is the most stable iron oxide under ambient conditions. this transition metal oxide has been extensively investigated because it has unique electrical and catalytic properties. in this report, a novel microwave method for preparation of α-fe2o3 nanoparticles has been developed. the process contained two steps: first, precursor were obtained from a mixed solution of 50 ml of 0...

Two types of manganese oxides have been prepared by hydrolysis of tetranuclear Mn(iii) complexes in the presence or absence of phosphate ions. The oxides have been characterized structurally using X-ray absorption spectroscopy and functionally by O2 evolution measurements. The structures of the oxides prepared in the absence of phosphate are dominated by di-μ-oxo bridged manganese ions that for...

The charge transfer interactions between reduced graphene oxides and conjugated block copolymers were confirmed by various spectroscopic methods, giving rise to manipulation of the electrical properties of the former.

Reactive Fe(III) oxides in gravity-core sediments collected from the East China Sea inner shelf were quantified by using three selective extractions (acidic hydroxylamine, acidic oxalate, bicarbonate-citrate buffered sodium dithionite). Also the reactivity of Fe(III) oxides in the sediments was characterized by kinetic dissolution using ascorbic acid as reductant at pH 3.0 and 7.5 in combinatio...

Adsorption of heavy metals and radionuclides (HMR) onto iron and manganese oxides has long been recognized as an important reaction for the immobilization of these compounds. However, in environments containing elevated concentrations of these HMR the adsorptive capacity of the iron and manganese oxides may well be exceeded, and the HMR can migrate as soluble compounds in aqueous systems. Here ...

an approach to recycle precious metals of cathode materials from spent lithium cobalt oxide batteries by using organic citric acid and hydrogen peroxide has been studied in this paper. the effects of molar ratio, solid-liquid ratio, reaction time and temperature on leaching efficiency of cobalt were investigated respectively. meanwhile the leaching kinetics equation of cobalt was established, a...
