In an environmentally friendly protocol, InI was used as a reducing agent for the Se-Se bond to prepare unsymmetrical diorganyl selenides with very short reaction times, mild conditions and excellent yields using (bmim)BF(4) as a recyclable solvent.

Sabine Bognar and Manuel van Gemmeren from the WWU Münster have been invited to contribute cover of this issue. The image depicts a volcano symbolize general theme sulfur chemistry, whereas piles rubble reflect selectivity reaction. Read full text article at 10.1002/chem.202004835.

this study concerns about quantum chemical modeling behavior of 02 on cr (100)surface by using density functional theory (dft) by lanl2dz and 6 — 31g* basissets, we presented the results of our first principles electronic structure calculationson the 02 molecules and their interface with cr (100) surface. the chromium metalhas the body-centered cubic structure, and chromium cluster has five cr ...

A series of alkyl-group-wrapped and halogen atom functionalized unsymmetrical squaraine dyes ( ISQ ) were designed synthesized. maximum DSSC device efficiency 7.80% was achieved for iodine funtionalized ISQ-I dye in Z-150 with CDCA.

Currently, most of the reported noble-metal nanocrystals are limited to a high level of symmetry, as constrained by the inherent, face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice of these metals. In this paper, we report, for the first time, a facile and versatile approach (backed up by a clear mechanistic understanding) for breaking the symmetry of an fcc lattice and thus obtaining nanocrystals with highly u...
