The photoinduced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by decamethylruthenocene, Cp2 *RuII (Cp*=C5 Me5 ), is reported. The use of a metallocene to photoproduce hydrogen is presented as an alternative strategy to reduce protons without involving an additional photosensitizer. The mechanism was investigated by (spectro)electrochemical and spectroscopic (UV/Vis and 1 H NMR) measurements. The photoacti...

Metallocene of zirconium were used as a catalyst for an insertion polymerization of 1-methylsilene directly into pre-ceramic precursor polyzirconocenecarbosilane (PZCS) during dechlorination of dichlorodimethylesilane by sodium, which exhibits high catalytic effectiveness with the maximum conversion ratio of polycarbosilane up to 91%. The average molecular weights of polymers synthesized are le...

1,5-benzodiazepines are regarded as one of the most important classes of heterocyclic compounds as privileged structures and have vast range of applications in the field of medicine and chemistry. they are therefore attractive synthetic targets for organic and medicinal chemist. the current review article mainly covers the multicomponent green chemistry approaches for the synthesis of 1,5-benzo...

A tetralithio salt (1) derived by treating 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-cyclooctatriene with (n)BuLi serves as the first structural evidence for a multi-alkali metallocene. Single-crystal XRD confirms two Li(+) each asymmetrically bind to η(3) and η(4) between two COT'' rings and two Li(+) terminally bind to η(3). Solid-state NMR studies confirm the presence of two distinct lithium ion sites while t...

Activities during ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization were found to increase using the mixed titania/silica-supported MAO with rac-Et[Ind]2ZrCl2 metallocene catalyst. Energy Dispersive X-ray spectorcopy (EDX) indicated that the titania was apparently located on the outer surface of silica and acted as a spacer to anchor MAO to the silica surface. IR spectra revealed the Si-O-Ti stretching at 980...

Intercalating redox-active molecules into layered materials expands their functionality for emerging energy technologies. However, the mechanism of charge transfer to and from these small within confined environment host material role in storge are largely unexplored. Herein, we examine processes metallocene intercalated transition metal dichalcogenides, including MoS2 WS2. Combining experiment...

Heterogeneous catalysts are promising for the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils to produce biodiesel and have been studied intensively over the last decade. Unlike the homogeneous catalysts, heterogeneous catalysts can be easily separated from reaction mixture and reused for many times. They are environmentally benign and could be easily operated in continuous processes. This revie...

carbon nanotubes were synthesized over a series of zn-containing fe/alumina catalysts by chemical vapor deposition method at two reaction temperatures of 850 and 950 °c using methane as a carbon source. catalysts were synthesized by keeping fe concentration constant and varying zn concentration to study the effects of zn. the catalysts were characterized using x – ray powder diffraction and n2 ...
