Vanillin hydrodeoxygenation was investigated using noble metal (Pd, Au, Ru) supported on active carbon prepared from waste derived biochars, which were produced via pyrolysis in CO2 atmosphere. Chemical activation with ZnCl2 and HNO3 was also used in the preparation...

The reactivity of germanium and tin dichlorides with a transition metal-only frustrated Lewis pair based on Au(I) and Pt(0) compounds bearing bulky phosphine ligands is described in this work. We have examined both the reactivity of tetrylene dihalides towards the...

We theoretically investigate the building of optical resonators based on the levitation properties of thin films subjected to strong repulsive Casimir–Lifshitz forces when immersed in an adequate medium and confronted with a planar substrate. We propose a design in...

This work reports a phenomenological comparative study of atmospheric pressure barrier plasmas using ferroelectric (ferroelectric barrier discharge (FBD)) and dielectric (dielectric barrier discharge (DBD)) plates to moderate the discharge. For FBD operation and large...

The experimental and computational characterization of a series of dialkylterphenyl phosphines, PR2Ar′ is described. The new P‐donors comprise five compounds of general formula PR2ArDtbp2 (R = Me, Et, iPr, c‐C5H9 and c‐C6H11); ArDtbp2 = 2,6‐C6H3‐(3,5‐C6H3‐(CMe3)2)2),...

Metal-only Lewis pairs made of Pt(0)/Ag(I) combinations have been previously reported, but their cooperative reactivity remains unexplored. Here we demonstrate that these systems are capable of synergistically activating a wide variety of X–H (X = H, C, O, N) bonds,...
