Macrocyclic cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) as a homogeneous electrocatalyst for water oxidation under neutral conditions
Hossain M. Shahadat,Hossain M. Shahadat,Hussein A. Younus,Hussein A. Younus,Nazir Ahmad,Shiguo Zhang,Serge Zhuiykov,Francis Verpoort,Francis Verpoort +8 more
TL;DR: Highly water-soluble cyanocobalamin is the most structurally macrocyclic complex comprising cobalt in the center of a corrin ring and acts as a robust electrocatalyst in water oxidation at ∼0.58 V overpotential with a faradaic efficiency of 97.50% under neutral buffered conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile synthesis and characterization of μ -chloro, azido, thiocyanato bridged cyclometallated Pd(II) containing Schiff-base ligands
Yuchun Jiang,Yonglin Guo,Xia Zhu,Dandan Song,Yu Wang,Xi-Ming Song,Francis Verpoort,Francis Verpoort,Xiaohong Chang +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Na2PdCl4 reacted with Schiff-bases bearing a furyl or a thienyl ring to give N-coordinated non-cyclometallated Pd(II) species [Pd(C4H3XCH NC6H3-2,6i-Pr2)2Cl2] (X = O, S).
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal transitions in polyimide transfer under sliding against steel, investigated by Raman spectroscopy and thermal analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the tribological characteristics of sintered polyimide (SP-1) as a function of the sliding temperature that is artificially varied between 60°C and 260°C under fixed load in counterformal contact with a steel plate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Latent Olefin Metathesis Catalysts for Polymerization of DCPD
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of the substituents in ortho position in N-aryl ring of salicylaldimine ligand has been found to be the main factor determining the catalyst stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homogeneous photochemical water oxidation with metal salophen complexes in neutral media
Md. Ali Asraf,Md. Ali Asraf,Chizoba I. Ezugwu,Choudhury M. Zakaria,Francis Verpoort,Francis Verpoort,Francis Verpoort +6 more
TL;DR: It is reported that salophen complexes with Ni, Cu, and Mn can catalyse photochemical water oxidation to molecular oxygen in the presence of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as a photosensitizer and Na2S2O8 as an oxidant in phosphate buffer of pH 7.0.
