CO Adsorption on Metal-Decorated Phosphorene
10.1021/acsomega.8b00133 2018-04-09 Using first principle calculations, we have investigated the adsorption of CO gas on various metal-decorated phosphorene. Almost all of the metals were considered to decorate phosphorene. By comparing binding energy (Eb) and cohesive energy (Ec), only 10 meta... |

Overgrowth Versus Galvanic Replacement: Mechanistic Roles of Pd Seeds during the Deposition of Pd–Pt
10.1021/acsomega.8b00394 2018-04-09 Here, a systematic study of the roles played by Pd seeds during seed-mediated coreduction of Pd–Pt is presented. Either nanoparticles with porous, hollow architectures or concave nanocubes were achieved, depending on whether the synthesis conditions favored g... |

Mutations Alter RNA-Mediated Conversion of Human Prions
10.1021/acsomega.7b02007 2018-04-09 Prion diseases are connected with self-replication and self-propagation of misfolded proteins. The rate-limiting factor is the formation of the initial seed. We have recently studied the early stages in the conversion between functional PrPC and the infectiou... |

Gold(I) Complexes of the Geminal Phosphinoborane tBu2PCH2BPh2
10.1021/acsomega.8b00143 2018-04-09 In this work, we explored the coordination properties of the geminal phosphinoborane tBu2PCH2BPh2 (2) toward different gold(I) precursors. The reaction of 2 with an equimolar amount of the sulfur-based complex (Me2S)AuCl resulted in displacement of the SMe2 l... |

Electrospun Gelatin Membrane Cross-Linked by a Bis(diarylcarbene) for Oil/Water Separation: A New Strategy To Prepare Porous Organic Polymers
10.1021/acsomega.8b00162 2018-04-09 Porous organic polymers (POPs) as absorbing materials have attracted increasing attention. Here, we report a new approach to prepare these polymers for selective oil absorption from oil/water mixtures. Perfluoroalkylbis(diaryldiazomethane) was synthesized and... |

Characterization and Fate of Hydrogen-Bonded Free-Radical Intermediates and Their Coupling Products from the Hydrogen Atom Transfer Agent 1,8-Naphthalenediol
10.1021/acsomega.8b00155 2018-04-06 1,8-Naphthalenediol (dihydroxynaphthalene, 1,8-DHN) has been shown to be a potent hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) antioxidant compound because of the strong stabilization of the resulting free radical by intramolecular hydrogen bonding. However, the properties, ... |

A New Synthesis Approach for Carbon Nitrides: Poly(triazine imide) and Its Photocatalytic Properties
10.1021/acsomega.8b00294 2018-04-06 Poly(triazine imide) (PTI) is a material belonging to the group of carbon nitrides and has shown to have competitive properties compared to melon or g-C3N4, especially in photocatalysis. As most of the carbon nitrides, PTI is usually synthesized by thermal or... |
