Photonic structuring improves colour purity of rare-earth nanophosphors
Nanophosphor integration in an optical cavity allows unprecedented control over both the chromaticity and the directionality of the emitted light, without modifying the chemical composition of the emitters or compromising their efficiency. Our approach opens a route...
Isolation of a Cationic Platinum(II) s-Silane Complex
The platinum complex [Pt(ItBuiPr′)(ItBuiPr)][BArF] interacts with tertiary silanes to form stable (<0 °C) mononuclear PtII σ‐SiH complexes [Pt(ItBuiPr′)(ItBuiPr)(η1‐HSiR3)][BArF]. These compounds have been fully characterized, including X‐ray diffraction methods,...
Epimerization of glucose over ionic liquid/ phosphomolybdate hybrids: structure-activity relationship
The influence of the crystal structure and chemical nature of some ionic liquid/phosphomolybdate hybrids on their catalytic activity in the epimerization of glucose was studied. A clear evidence of structure–activity relationship was found. The inorganic part of the...
Selective catalytic synthesis of amino-silanesat part-per million catalyst loadings
Platinum(II) complex [Pt(ItBu0)(ItBu)][BArF4] (1a) is a highly active and selective catalyst in the dehydrocoupling of amines and silanes at part-per-million catalyst loadings (up to 10 ppm, 0.001 mol%), achieving the highest TON and TOF numbers reported in the...
