The gas phase structure of O-nitrobis(trifluoromethyl)hydroxylamine, (CF(3))(2)NONO(2), has been determined with gas electron diffraction and quantum chemical calculations (HF, MP2, and B3LYP with 6-31G basis sets). The calculations predict a structure with C(s) overall symmetry, a planar NONO(2) skeleton, and the NO(2) group oriented anti with respect to the CNC plane. The electron diffraction intensities are reproduced very well with such a model. The molecule possesses pyramidal configuration at the amino nitrogen atom, and the following geometric parameters (r(a) values with 3sigma uncertainties) were obtained for the NONO(2) skeleton: N-O = 1.392(18) A, O-N = 1.597(16) A, (N=O)(mean) = 1.192(4) A, N-O-N = 106.9(25) degrees, O=N=O = 138.4(24) degrees. The extremely long O-N distance is rationalized by very weak bonding between the two stable radicals (CF(3))(2)NO and NO(2). Whereas the ab initio methods HF (O-N = 1.395 A) and MP2 (O-N = 1.664 A) fail to reproduce this bond length correctly, the hybrid method B3LYP (O-N = 1.584 A) results in good agreement.

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a widely used end-of-life (EoL) material in asphalt pavements to increase the material circularity. However, the performance loss due to using RAP in the asphalt binder layer often requires a thicker layer, leading to additional material usage, energy consumption, and transportation effort. In this study, we developed a parametric and probabilistic life cycle assessment (LCA) framework to robustly compare various pavement designs incorporating recycled materials.

Achieving the adsorptive separation and chromatographic separation of industrially the important chemicals toluene and methylcyclohexane using the same material is a highly desirable goal. We have successfully accomplished this using a fluorinated macrocycle tetrafluoroterphen[3]arene (4FTP3), which was synthesized and used for gas chromatographic separation in our previous work. The macrocycle 4FTP3 permitted the adsorptive separation of toluene from a toluene/methylcyclohexane mixture (1:1, v/v) with a purity of 99.

Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) hydrogen sensors offer advantages, such as high sensitivity and fast response, but their challenges remain in achieving low-cost fabrication and stable operation at room temperature. This study investigates Nb-doped TiO (NTO) thin films prepared via a one-step micro-arc oxidation (MAO) with the addition of NbO nanoparticles into the electrolyte for room-temperature hydrogen sensing. The characterization results revealed that the incorporation of NbO altered the film's morphology and phase composition, increasing the Nb content and forming a homogeneous composite thin film.

Charge-free gaseous molecules labeled with deuterium H (D) atoms elute earlier than their protium-analogs H (H) from most stationary GC phases. This effect is known as the chromatographic H/D isotope effect (IE) and can be calculated by dividing the retention times () of the protiated ( ) to those of the deuterated () analytes: IE = /. Analytes labeled with C, N or O have almost identical retention times and lack a chromatographic isotope effect.

The large-scale implementation of 2D material-based membranes is hindered by mechanical stability and mass transport control challenges. This work describes the fabrication, characterisation, and testing of self-standing graphene oxide (GO) membranes cross-linked with oxides such as FeO, AlO, CaSO, NbO, and a carbide, SiC. These cross-linking agents enhance the mechanical stability of the membranes and modulate their mass transport properties.
