The catalytic performances were studied for the ceria and Fe-doped ceria from SC (CeO2-SC, Ce0.9Fe0.1O2-SC) in comparison with the ceria nanorods (CeO2-HT, Ce0.9Fe0.1O2-HT) obtained by hydrothermal (HT) method, one of the most studied systems in the literature. Indeed, the ceria nanoparticles obtained by SC were found to be highly crystalline, platelet-shaped, arranged in a mosaic-like assembly and with smaller crystallite size (≈6 nm vs. ≈17 nm) and higher surface area (80 m2 g-1vs. 26 m2 g-1) for the undoped sample with respect to the Fe-doped counterpart. Although all samples exhibit an anisometric morphology that should favor the exposition of specific crystalline planes, HT-samples showed better performances due to higher oxygen vacancies concentration and lower amount of strong basic and acid sites.","PeriodicalId":148,"journal":{"name":"ChemPlusChem","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142255838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the interplay between the N→C dative bond, intramolecular chalcogen bond and π conjugation in the complexes formed by cyclo[18]carbon and C14 polyyne with 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazoles has been investigated in detail by using reliable quantum chemical calculations. This study has made four main findings. First, only the Te-containing complexes bound by N→C dative bonds are much more stable than their corresponding van der Waals (vdW) complexes. Second, in addition to through-bond π conjugations, through-space π conjugations also exist in some Se/Te-containing complexes bound by N→C dative bonds. Third, the cooperativity between intramolecular chalcogen bond, π conjugation between two monomers and N→C dative bond is not very strong and can be ignored. Fourth, compared to π conjugations, intramolecular Ch···C (Ch = O, S, Se, Te) chalcogen bonds play a secondary role in stabilizing the complexes bound by N→C dative bonds. These findings clearly indicate that the role of “conformational lock”, popular in the field of organic optoelectronic materials, may have been greatly overestimated.","PeriodicalId":148,"journal":{"name":"ChemPlusChem","volume":"211 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142255836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a machine learning (ML) based model that allows quick, accurate predictions of Henry’s law constants (kH) for many common organic compounds. Users input only a Simplified Molecular-Input Line-Entry System (SMILES) string or a common English name, and the model returns Henry’s law estimates for compounds in water and ethanol.

Bimetallic catalysts that combine precious and earth‐abundant metals are interesting materials to mitigate the drawbacks of each component. To this end, RuNi nanoparticles bearing a phosphine ligand were prepared through the decomposition of [Ru(η4‐C8H12)(η6‐C8H10)] and [Ni(η4‐C8H12)2] by H2 at 85°C. Wide angle X‐ray scattering confirmed a bimetallic segregated structure, with Ni predominantly on the surface. Spectroscopic analyses revealed that the phosphine ligand coordinated to the surface of both metals, suggesting, as well, a partial Ni shell covering the Ru core.

In this study, Ag NPs were uniformly in‐situ deposited onto the optimized SF MFs by adjusting the pH and duration conditions under the guidance of green chemistry.
