Hydrothermal method with silicon monoxide as starting material was used to synthesize silicon nanowires (SiNWs). Transmission electron spectroscopy demonstrates that SiNWs have smooth surface and about 35 nm in diameter, micrometers in length. High-resolution transmission electron spectroscopy s...

A large-scale crystalline silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with a diameter of ∼30nm and length of tens of micrometers on Al2O3 templates and silicon wafers were synthesized by the thermal evaporation of silicon monoxide (SiO). The SiNWs were measured by transmission electron microscopy, scanning elect...

We describe a simple process for synthesizing three-dimensional porous silicon monoxide anode materials from bulk silicon monoxide powders by combining a galvanic displacement reaction and metal catalytic etching process. Silver nanoparticles that act as a catalyst were deposited on the surface ...

Electronic structures of thin films of silicon monoxides (SiO) deposited on a solid surface have been in-situ investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). As a substrate, a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was used because the hybrid...

Pulsed IR laser irradiation of silicon monoxide in the presence of gaseous hydrocarbons (benzene or ethyne) results in carbothermal reduction of silicon monoxide by hydrocarbon decomposition products and allows deposition of nanosized carbon–silicon oxycarbide composites which were identified b...

A kinetic Monte Carlo model of silicon nanocluster (Si-nc) formation during high temperature annealing of Si suboxide layers was suggested. The model takes into account, along with silicon and oxygen atom diffusion, the processes of silicon monoxide creation and dissociation. It was demonstrated...

Extremely low content of Ruthenium (Ru) nanoparticles were loaded on the carbon black (Ru/C) via reducing Ru ions with silicon monoxide. The obtained Ru/C nanocomposites exhibit an exciting electrochemical catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in the oxygen-free 0.5 M H2SO4 me...

Silicon monoxide (SiO) is a promising next-generation anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to the high capacity it offers. However, such material also exhibits a large initial capacity loss which results in significant loss of Li inventory to irreversible reactions in a full cell. To mit...

An efficient one-pot synthesis of 3-cyano-4-quinolinone derivatives has been developed via the intramolecular cyclization of cyanoacetylenaminones 1 with N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) 2 under catalyst-free conditions in CH3CN. The reaction offers several advantages, including o...

The new styryl substituted pyrazinoporphyrazine complex has been synthesised for the first time. The spectral properties of the ytterbium complex have been studied. The introduction of the styryl fragments in the cycle leads to bathochromatic shift of the Q-band. It can be explained by the stabi...

In this work, we present experimental and theoretical thermochemistry of the 3- and 4-nitrophtalic acids. We report their standard molar enthalpies of formation in crystalline phase, at T = 298.15 K, which were obtained from their energies of combustion. The latter were determined through an iso...

We previously demonstrated that the α-benzylphenylpropanoic acid-type PPARγ-selective agonist 6 exhibited a reversed stereochemistry–activity relationship, that is, the (R)-enantiomer is a more potent PPARγ agonist than the (S)-enantiomer, compared with structurally similar α-ethylphenylpro...

The present work is part of a research program on the energetics of the linear 4-n-alkoxybenzoic acids, aiming the study of the enthalpic effect of the introduction of an alkoxy chain in the position 4- of the benzoic acid ring. In this work, we present the results of the thermochemical research...

In the present paper, three kinds of benzoic acid, 4-allyloxylbenzoic acid (ABA), 4-allyloxyl-2-fluorobenzoic acid (AFBA) and 4-allyloxyl-2, 6-difluorobenzoic acid (ADFBA) have been studied by polarizing microscope (POM), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and temperature-dependent FTIR. PO...

The inhibitory kinetics of the diphenolase of mushroom tyrosinase by seven p-alkoxybenzoic acids has been studied. The results show that these derivatives of benzoic acid behave as reversible inhibitors. Among them, p-hydroxybenzoic acid is competitive, while p-methoxybenzoic acid is non-competi...

The optical absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectra of 4-heptyloxybenzoic acid (4hoba), 4-octyloxybenzoic acid (4ooba) and 4-nonyloxybenzoic acid (4noba) liquid crystals have been measured in a series of different polarity organic solvents. The ground state (μg) and excited state (μe)...

A self-sufficient CYP102 family encoding gene (Krac_9955) has been identified from the bacterium Ktedonobacter racemifer DSM44963 which belongs to the Chloroflexi phylum. The characterisation of the substrate range of this enzyme was hampered by low levels of production using E. coli. The yield ...

Four novel isostructural lanthanide coordination complexes [Ln2(L)6(DMF)]n (Ln = Nd (1), Tb (2), Dy (3), Ho (4)) were successfully assembled under hydrothermal conditions with Ln3+ salts and 3,4,5-trifluorobenzeneseleninic acid (HL). All the complexes have been characterized by infrared spectros...

Cis- or trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexyl bromide give 4-tert-butylcyclohexene with n-butyllithium while the corresponding mercuric bromides give 4-tert-butylcyclohexene and di-n-butylmercury, although from these reactions the formation of stereo-isomeric lithium reagents was expected.
