Improved kinetic behaviour of Mg(NH)-2LiH doped with nanostructured K-modified-LiTiO for hydrogen storage.

The system Mg(NH) + 2LiH is considered as an interesting solid-state hydrogen storage material owing to its low thermodynamic stability of ca. 40 kJ/mol H and high gravimetric hydrogen capacity of 5.6 wt.

Synthesis and structural characterisation of unprecedented primary N-nitrosamines coordinated to iridium(iv).

The redox chemistry of the N-nitrosamine complexes [IrCl5(RN(H)N[double bond, length as m-dash]O)]2- (R = benzyl or n-butyl) was studied in detail. One-electron oxidations at around 200 mV vs. ferrocene/ferrocenium were reversible in cyclic voltammograms.

Synthesis of ultra-small cysteine-capped gold nanoparticles by pH switching of the Au(I)-cysteine polymer.

We report a synthetic approach for the production of ultra-small (0.6 nm) gold nanoparticles soluble in water with a precise control of the nanoparticle size. Our synthetic approach utilizes a pH-depending Au-cysteine polymer as a quencher for the AuNPs grown.
