The potential impregnation of Al(0) nanoparticles in the pores of three different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MIL-53-Al, HKUST-1, and UiO-67, was investigated through the suspension of the MOFs in AlH3•NMe2Et (1), followed by filtration, toluene wash, and heating to 150 °C under vacuum. Ca...

The Zn complex [(NN3)Zn(OH)]2(NO3)2 (1(NO3)2, NN3 = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) reacts with atmospheric CO₂ to form a zinc carbonate species {[(NN3)Zn]3CO3}(NO3)4 (2(NO3)4), isolable as a crystalline product from organic solvents. The aqueous chemistry of the CO₂ absorption and desorption processes ...

Incorporation of the simple, readily available, building blocks ethylene, water and acetonitrile into Au(tpy)(OCOCF3)2 (tpy = 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine) in a one-step reaction leads to high yields of a new 6-membered ring gold(III) metallacycle complex. The metallacycle has been characterized spectroscopi...

The reversible hydrogen desorption–absorption of γ–Mg(BH4)2 ball milled with MoO3 and TiO₂ has been investigated. No mechanochemical interaction between γ–Mg(BH4)2 and TiO₂ was observed while for the 1:1 M ratio with MoO3, MoB2 was formed. There was little difference in the properties of γ–Mg(BH4)2 ...
