Journal ArticleDOI
Low molecular weight fluorescent organogel for fluoride ion detection.
TL;DR: The design, synthesis, and the photophysical properties of a Low Molecular Weight Gel based on AB(3) and AB(2) type poly(aryl ether) dendrons with an anthracene chromophore attached through an acylhydrazone linkage are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ageing in modified bitumen using FTIR spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, three modified binders (elastomer, plastomer and crumb rubber) and the base bitumen were subjected to different ageing conditions and the evolution of the chemical functionalities during ageing were tracked using FTIR spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of proton donors in SmI2-mediated ketone reduction: new mechanistic insights.
TL;DR: Water has a high affinity for SmI2 (compared to that of the alcohols), and the onset of coordination at relatively low concentrations channels the reaction through a mechanistically distinct pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of ketones and alkyl iodides by SmI(2) and Sm(II)-HMPA complexes. Rate and mechanistic studies.
Edamana Prasad,Robert A. Flowers +1 more
TL;DR: The results obtained indicate that coordination or chelation is possible in the transition state geometry for SmI(2)/ketone systems even in the presence of the sterically demanding ligand HMPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic Impact of Water Addition to SmI2: Consequences in the Ground and Transition State
Edamana Prasad,Robert A. Flowers +1 more
TL;DR: Rate studies on the reduction of benzyl bromide by SmI2-water are consistent with reaction occurring through a dimeric transition state with the assembly of the activated complex requiring an equivalent of water at low concentrations but not at higher concentrations.
