Journal ArticleDOI

The role of Pd nanoparticles in ionic liquid in the Heck reaction.

TL;DR: Results strongly suggest that the Pd(0) nanoparticles serve as a reservoir of "homogeneous" catalytic active species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanoscale Pt(0) particles prepared in imidazolium room temperature ionic liquids: synthesis from an organometallic precursor, characterization, and catalytic properties in hydrogenation reactions.

TL;DR: The reaction of Pt(2)(dba)(3) dispersed in room temperature 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMI) hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid with molecular hydrogen leads to stable and isolable nanometric Pt(0) particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis infections on implants.

TL;DR: It is discussed some methodologies used in the search for new compounds with antibiofilm activity and the main strategies for biomaterial surface modifications to avoid bacterial plaque formation and consequent infection, and some approaches used as a way to avoid the spread of bacterial resistance to antimicrobials.
Journal ArticleDOI

The partial hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexene by nanoscale ruthenium catalysts in imidazolium ionic liquids.

TL;DR: The controlled decomposition of an Ru(0) organometallic precursor dispersed in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMI.PF(6), which represents a rare example of partial hydrogenation of benzene by soluble transition-metal nanoparticles, is controlled.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and Characterization of Pt(0) Nanoparticles in Imidazolium Ionic Liquids

TL;DR: In this article, a controlled decomposition of Pt2(dba)3 (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) dispersed in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMI.BF4) and hexafluorophosphate (bMI.PF6) ionic liquids in the presence of cyclohexene by molecular hydrogen produces Pt(0) nanoparticles.
