Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted great attention because of their intriguing molecular topologies and potential applications in chemical separation, gas storage, drug delivery, catalysis and chemical sensor technology. Particularly, MOFs could also be potential energetic materials because of their high densities and high heats of detonation. For example, Hope-Weeks and co-workers ...

Nanosized and highly dispersed molybdenum carbide was fabricated in the carbon walls, along with the formation of ordered mesoporous carbons, via a one-pot organic-organic cooperative self-assembly approach.

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance was used to probe the environment of the intercalant molecule in low dimensional (aeolotropic) solids 3RI-TaSz(NHJhJ and 3Ru-TaS2(N2H4)4/3. and, specifically to look for phase transitions associated with changes in superlattice geometry. The proton resonance frequency for the intercalated molecules in the temperature interval 200 to 300 K indicates that there a...

Hydrazine is a chemical of utmost importance in our society, either for organic synthesis or energy use. The direct conversion NH3 to hydrazine highly appealing, but it remains very difficult task because the degradation thermodynamically more feasible than cleavage N?H bond NH3. As result, any catalyst capable activating will thus unavoidably decompose N2H4. Here we show that cavitation bubble...

When compared with pure water, hydrogen produced by seawater electrolysis has a better practical application potential. By replacing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and competitive chlorine (ClER) thermodynamically favorable anodic hydrazine oxidation (HzOR) in alkaline seawater, energy-saving production can be achieved. In this study, Fe/Co dual-doped Ni2P MIL-FeCoNi heterostructures (FeCo...

In the present work, preceramic nanocrystallite barium cerate (BaCeO3) was successfully synthesized using hydrazine-nitrate combustion method. Using carbon-free hydrazine (N2H4) as fuel significantly reduced formation of carbonate by-products. Subsequent annealing products in air atmosphere at temperatures range 500–1000 °С yielded powders based on chemically and phase-pure BaCeO3. Characteriza...

A family of iron(II) complexes that coordinate dinitrogen, diazene, hydrazine, and ammonia are presented. This series of complexes is unusual in that the complexes within it feature a common auxiliary ligand set and differ only by virtue of the nitrogenous N(x)H(y) ligand that occupies the sixth binding site. The ability of an iron center to bind N(2), N(2)H(2), N(2)H(4), and NH(3) is important...

All known nitrogenase cofactors are rich in both sulfur and iron and are presumed capable of binding and reducing N2. Nonetheless, synthetic examples of transition metal model complexes that bind N2 and also feature sulfur donor ligands remain scarce. We report herein an unusual series of low-valent diiron complexes featuring thiolate and dinitrogen ligands. A new binucleating ligand scaffold i...
