Electronic Structures of Hydroxyled Low Index Surfaces of Rutile and Anatase-Type Titanium Dioxide

Different surface planes of various types of TiO2 crystals have diverse catalysis effects on the splitting of H2O and H2 and the electronic structures of the formed hydroxylated titanium dioxide...

Rhenium(V)-oxo complexes [ReOX2(N∩O)(EPh3)] (X=Cl, Br, I; E=P, As) – synthesis, structure, spectroscopy, and catalytic properties

The present review aims to give a comprehensive survey about the chemistry of rhenium(V)-oxo complexes of general formula [ReOX2(N∩O)(EPh3)], where X=Cl, Br, I, E=P, As, and N∩O stands for uninegative chelating N∩O-ligand, carried out within the last four decades. In addition to the synthesis aspects, the available structural data as well as the results issued from techniques such as infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopies are collected and discussed. Furthermore, a brief description of the applications of these compounds in catalysis is included.

Formation of uranyl phthalate coordination polymers with unusual 2D net topologies in the presence of organic cations

Inclusion of heterocyclic cations into a uranyl-phthalate system allowed the formation of 2D coordination polymers whose topological analysis revealed that the underlying nets had unusual topologies.
