We report a true MCR involving the reaction of N-(prop-2-ynyl)quinoxalin-2-amine derivatives with 2-iodoanilines and tosyl azide in the presence of 10 mol% of CuI and Et3N in DMSO to afford the pre-designed hybrid molecules containing quinoxaline framework linked with a benzimidazole nucleus. The MCR proceeds in the absence of any ligand and/or lateral addition of the catalyst/base affording pr...

Functionalizing the well-known MIL-53(Al) metal-organic framework with amino groups increases its selectivity in CO(2)/CH(4) separations by orders of magnitude while maintaining a very high capacity for CO(2) capture.

Reducing the CO2 levels in the atmosphere is one of the emerging challenges for human society. It is commonly accepted that CO2, as a greenhouse gas, is partly responsible for climate changes. It is thus important to reduce those CO2 levels in every possible way. This can be achieved in different manners, for example by decreasing CO2 emission by developing energy efficient processes with a red...

A “water free,” proton conducting membrane for use in a fuel cell is fabricated as a highly conducting sheet of converted solid state organic amine salt, such as converted acid salt of triethylenediamine with two quaternized tertiary nitrogen atoms, combined with a nanoparticulate oxide and a stable binder combined with the converted solid state organic amine salt to form a polymeric electrolyt...
