Bromination of high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) nanodiamond (ND) surfaces has not been explored and can open new avenues for increased chemical reactivity and diamond lattice covalent bond formation. The large bond…
BackgroundOn the occasion of the redefinition of the Avogadro constant in May 2019, a brief history and some didactic reflections on its magnitude are presented.PurposeSome analogies are reviewed and others…
Novel copolymers of vinyl acetate and halogen ring-substituted ethyl 2-cyano-3-phenyl-2-propenoates, RPhCH=C(CN)CO2C2H5 (where R is 2-Br, 3-Br, 4-Br, 2-Cl, 3-Cl, 4-Cl, 2-F, 3-F, 4-F, 2,3-dichloro, 2,4-dichloro, 2,6-dichloro, 3,4-dichloro, 2,4-difluoro, 2-bromo-3,4-dimethoxy) were…
Novel energy and atom efficiency processes will be keys to develop the sustainable chemical industry of the future. Electrification could play an important role, by allowing to fine-tune energy input…
The problem associated with the zero-point energy (ZPE) leak in classical trajectory calculations is well known. Since ZPE is a manifestation of the quantum uncertainty principle, there are no restrictions…
