Industrial Ziegler-Type Hydrogenation Catalysts Made from Co(neodecanoate)2 or Ni(2-ethylhexanoate)2 and AlEt3: Evidence for Nanoclusters and Sub-Nanocluster or Larger Ziegler-Nanocluster Based Catalysis

TL;DR: This study examines Co- and Ni-based catalysts made from the actual industrial precursor materials, catalysts that are notoriously problematic regarding their characterization and provides the leading hypothesis going forward to try to refute in future work, namely, that sub-M(≥4) to larger, M(n) Ziegler nanoclusters are the dominant, industrial, Co-and Ni- plus AlR(3) catalysts in Zieglers-type hydrogenation systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatially resolved biosensing with a molded plasmonic crystal

TL;DR: In this article, a type of quasi-three-dimensional plasmonic crystal was used for spatially resolved detection of biochemical binding events, with a spatial resolution of tens of microns and submonolayer binding sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Future directions in solid state chemistry: Report of the NSF-sponsored workshop

Robert J. Cava, +38 more
TL;DR: The second of a series of workshops planned in this topical area was held at NSF headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, in January 1998, and was designed to address the core of the field, describing how it has developed in the US and worldwide in the past decade, and how the members of the community saw the central thrusts of research and education in solid state chemistry proceeding in the next several years as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Additive soft-lithographic patterning of submicrometer- and nanometer-scale large-area resists on electronic materials.

TL;DR: A novel soft-lithographic technique possessing broad utility for the fabrication of large area, nanoscale multilayer resist structures on electronic material substrates by transferring ultrathin poly(dimethylsiloxane) decals to an underlying SiO(2)-capped organic planarazation layer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iridium Ziegler-Type Hydrogenation Catalysts Made from [(1,5-COD)Ir(μ-O2C8H15)]2 and AlEt3: Spectroscopic and Kinetic Evidence for the Irn Species Present and for Nanoparticles as the Fastest Catalyst

TL;DR: The main findings herein are that a combination of the catalyst precursors [(1,5-COD)Ir(mu-O(2)C(8)H(15))](2) and AlEt(3) gives catalytically active solutions containing a broad distribution of Ir(n) species, suggesting that the observed changes in catalytic activity at different Al/Ir ratios are primarily the result of changes in the form or function of the Al-derived component.
