Combinatorial Screening of Cu-W Oxide-Based Photoanodes for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting.

Metal oxide libraries for photoanodes for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) were generated by printing a metal salt solution in an array layout, followed by calcination to yield 22 ternary metal oxide systems. The libraries included a ternary metal cation system based on CuWO with one out of eight transition or posttransition metal ions Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Bi, and Ga in different overall atomic ratios. The photocatalyst libraries were screened by scanning photoelectrochemical microscopy for the highest anodic photocurrents.

FLP behaviour of cationic titanium complexes with tridentate Cp,O,N-ligands: highly efficient syntheses and activation reactions of C-X bonds (X = Cl, F).

The synthesis of cationic titanium complexes 4a,b with tridentate Cp,O,N-ligand frameworks, starting from the monopentafulvene complex Cp*Ti(Cl)(π-η5:σ-η1-C5H4CR2 (CR2 = adamantylidene) (1) and bidentate O,N-ligand precursors CH3C(O)CH2CH2NR2 (R = Et, CH2Ph) (L1a,b), in a high-yielding and efficient two-step synthetic pathway is described. The β-aminoketones L1a,b were synthesized by a herein reported solvent- and catalyst-free reaction. The reaction pathway involves insertion reactions, subsequent methylations and final activations with B(C6F5)3.
