TL;DR: In this paper, a single-phase superlattice solids with average diameter 4.0 ± 0.5 nm and average carbon atom number 4.5 have been indexed to single cubic unit cells, and their X-ray powder diffractograms have been fully indexed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative carbonyl isocyanate cation [OCNCO]+ affinities of pyridines determined by the kinetic method using multiple‐stage (MS3) mass spectrometry
TL;DR: In this article, a linear relationship between the relative [OCNCO]- cation affinity and the relative proton affinity (PA) was derived as relative affinity (kcal mol−1) = 0.96 ΔPA, using the assumed effective temperature of 555 K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proton Affinity and Gas-Phase Basicity of Urea
TL;DR: Urea undergoes Oprotonation in the gas phase to yield a product that is thermodynamically more stable than the N-protonated isomer, as also is the case in aqueous solution as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replacement of C-O by P-O in Cyclic Acetals and Ketals.
TL;DR: Efficiency and structural specificity earmark the reaction of phosphonium ions 1 with cyclic acetals and ketals to yield 1,3,2-dioxaphospholanium ions 2 and potential applications are in monitoring trace levels of organophosphorus esters and in developing novel carbonyl deprotection agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
SiCl3+ and SiCl+ affinities for pyridines determined by using the kinetic method with multiple stage mass spectrometry: Agostic effects in the gas phase
TL;DR: The steric effects in the SiCl3+ dimers are similar in magnitude to those in the corresponding Cl+-bound dimers but weaker than those produced by the bulky [OCNCO]+ group.
