An alkaline-resistant Ag(I)-anchored pyrazolate-based metal–organic framework for chemical fixation of CO2

10.1039/C8CC01461B

2018-04-09

An alkaline-resistant Ag(I)-anchored metal–organic framework has been achieved via postsynthetic modification of pyrazolate-based linkers. For the first time, the resultant MOF was completely heterogeneous and recyclable over at least ten cycles in cyclic car...

Combining photoredox and silver catalysis for azidotrifluoromethoxylation of styrenes

10.1039/C8CC01096J

2018-04-09

The first example of an azidotrifluoromethoxylation of styrenes has been achieved by synergistic visible-light-mediated photoredox and silver catalysis. Trifluoromethyl arylsulfonate (TFMS) and the Zhdankin reagent were used as the trifluoromethoxylation reag...

Combination-Decomposition Method to Synthesize Two-Dimensional Metal sulfide-amine Hybrid Nanosheets: A Highly Efficient Fe-Based Water Oxidation Electrocatalyst

2018-04-09

An uniformed FeS1.4(Dmim)0.5 (Dmim = 1-n-butyl-2, 3-dimethylimidazolium cation) hybrid nanosheets was developed through an innovative combination-decomposition approach. More importantly, the obtained hybrid nanosheets performs with an unprecedentedly high el...

Real-time monitoring of silver nanoparticles and nanowires dissolution kinetics in aquatic environment using an aggregation-induced emission fluorogen

10.1039/C8CC02245C

2018-04-09

Releases of silver ions (Ag+) from silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has a great impact on many of their functional processes, especially the antimicrobial potency and ecotoxicity. In this study, we employed for the first time a fluorogenic Ag+ sensor, tetrazole-f...

Chiral separation and characterization of triazatruxene-based face-rotating polyhedra: the role of non-covalent facial interactions

10.1039/C8CC02049C

2018-04-09

We constructed a series of novel chiral molecular face-rotating polyhedra (FRP) from two 10,15-dihydro-5H-diindolo[3,2-a:3',2'-c]carbazole (triazatruxene) derivatives and trans-1,2-cyclohexane diamine, and investigated how facial interactions and the position...

Polyvinyl alcohol-boronate gel for sodium hydroxide extraction
