Long-term stable 3 nm gold nanoparticles are prepared by a simple reaction between HAuCl4 and sodium borohydride in water under ambient conditions which very efficiently catalyze 4-nitrophenol reduction to 4-nitroaniline.

The biomimetic reduction of anti-inflammatory drug, nimesulide (1) with sodium borohydride catalyzed by 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrinatoiron(III) chlorides [TAPFe(III)Cl] has been studied in organic solvents under anaerobic and aerobic conditions.

The use of hydride generation is often useful in environmental analysis. The normal acid sodium tetrahydroborate reaction provides exceptional sensitivity with continuous flow hydride generators. In some situations there are interferences which will mask the sensitivity. An alternative chemistry system is described here and is shown to offer similar sensitivity to that normally used. A commerci...

Computational quantum chemistry provides fundamental chemical and physical insights into solvated reaction mechanisms across many areas of chemistry, especially in homogeneous heterogeneous renewable energy catalysis. Such reactions may depend on explicit interactions with ions solvent molecules that are nontrivial to characterize. Rigorously modeling effects molecular dynamics usually brings s...

Hydrogen-fluorine exchange in the NaBH4-NaBF4 system is investigated using a range of experimental methods combined with DFT calculations and a possible mechanism for the reactions is proposed. Fluorine substitution is observed using in situ synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction (SR-PXD) as a new Rock salt type compound with idealized composition NaBF2H2 in the temperature range T = 20...

Direct borohydride fuel cells (DBFCs) operate with liquid H2O2 and a high-energy-density NaBH4 solution. A facile, direct synthesis method using non-noble nickel catalyst for the DBFC anode is shown. The complex reaction an anion-exchange ionomer (AEI) cation-exchange (CEI) evaluated in half-cell single-cell configurations. type produces high or low local pH at active site of configuration, gen...

polyaniline and polyamide (nylon 6,6) nanocomposites with silva were prepared by in-situ oxidativepolymerization of aniline monomers in the presence of ag salt nano particles of silver (nps) were symthesieedby controlled reduction of ag+ ions kith sodium borohydride at room temperature. nylon 6,6 wax loaded withag nanoparfieles by erdrapment of ag+ ions into the polymer network, followed by red...

The reductive amination of aromatic aldehydes and amines, performed in the Brønsted acidic ionic liquid [Et3NH][HSO4], using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent is reported. In this protocol, plays crucial role efficiently converting to amines excellent yields, without formation side products. presence imine was generated situ from reaction between underwent smooth reduction with borohydride...

A borohydride reduction method was used to identify the phosphorylated amino acid in the phospho-enzyme of the red beet (Beta vulgani L.) plasma membrane ATPase. Plasma membrane fractions were phosphorylated with unlabeled ATP in the presence of MgSO4 at pH 6.5 and then treated with sodium l3Hlborohydride. The borohydride-treated samples were subjected to hydrolysis in 6 normal HCI at 110°C for...
