Eleven new phenyl-substituted phosphazenes (P1-, P3-, and P4-bases) have been synthesized by the Staudinger or the Kirsanov reactions. The UV-vis spectrophotometric titration method was used to establish the relative basicity of them, and to extend the ion-pair basicity scale for THF medium. These measurements together with our previous work give a continuous basicity scale in THF ranging from 2.6 (2-MeO-pyridine) to 26.6 (2-Cl-C6H4P4(pyrr) phosphazene) in pKalpha units: that is for 24 orders of magnitude and containing 58 compounds (pyridines, anilines, amines, guanidines, amidines, phosphazenes). Ion-pair formation was taken into account by using the Fuoss equation. DeltapKip values of some phosphazene indicators estimated earlier by the 13C NMR method were revised. For some of the phosphazenes gas-phase basicities were measured.

Controlling materials' composition and structure to selectively adsorb rare earth elements (REE) is critical for better separations. Understanding how local electric potentials affect REE adsorption and how they can be modified via chemical substitution is of fundamental importance. We present calculated mean inner potentials for muscovite and phlogopite micas in excellent agreement with measured values of +10.

Analogous to the aqueous solution where the pH of the solvent affects its multiple behaviors, the optical acidity and basicity of molten salts also greatly influence their thermophysical and thermochemical properties. In the study, we develop ion probes to quantitatively determine the acidity-basicity scale of molten NaCl-AlCl ( = 1.5-2.

Article Synopsis
  • * A borate-enhanced molten salt process was developed, utilizing non-nanostructured transition metal electrodes and manipulating the electrolyte's oxo-basicity with borax to improve electrochemical reactions.
  • * This approach involves a closed-loop system with well-designed borate species to boost overall reaction efficiency, achieving long-term operational stability and reduced energy use, presenting a sustainable solution for industrial CO conversion.

Development of large-scale alkaline seawater electrolysis requires robust and corrosion-resistant anodes. Here we propose engineering NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH)-based anodes by incorporating a series of anions into the LDH interlayers. The most optimal NiFe LDH anode with intercalated phosphates demonstrates stable operation at a high current density of 1.

An expedient approach to the synthesis of 4-azaspiro[2.3]hexane derivatives is described. The synthetic scheme consists of Tebbe olefination of -Boc-protected 2-azetidinone (including the first use of the deuterated Petasis reagent CpTi(CD) in the building block preparation) and cyclopropanation of the resulting intermediate.
