Thermal and photochemical decomposition of silver carboxylates

Proof‐of‐Concept Studies Directed toward the Formation of Metallic Ag Nanostructures from Ag3PO4 Induced by Electron Beam and Femtosecond Laser

“…The sample obtained in this procedure was referred to as the fs lAP. Although for comparison with the previous papers, a femtosecond laser was employed, further studies could be conducted in order to elucidate if it is possible the formation of metallic Ag by irradiation of pAP with other kind of lasers, as it happens in other Ag‐containing compounds …”

Novel addition in trifluoromethylation of [70]fullerene

“…Since the 1970's there have been a number of mechanistic studies of the formation of alkyl radicals through the pyrolytic decarboxylation of silver carboxylates, RCO 2 Ag [20][21][22][23][24], and various R groups have been employed; for example, Karpova et al,studied trifluoroacetates [24]. Fritz and Hiemeyer [25] showed that if trifluoroacetate pyrolysis is carried out in the presence of fullerenes then addition of CF 3 groups to the fullerene cage occurs, and this has been studied in detail more recently [26][27][28].…”

A Mass Spectrometric Investigation of Native and Oxidatively Inactivated Chloroperoxidase

“…To study the basis set effect further, we performed an additional stability test by using the cc‐pVQZ basis set with the BLYP functional. With 〈 S 2〉 = 0.586, the calculated λ and Δ E values are −0.0159 and 1.68 kcal/mol, respectively. Thus, it is obvious that these values saturated with the cc‐pVTZ basis set itself.…”

“…Benzdiynes (tetradehydrobenzenes), highly unsaturated C 6 H 2 species, are more challenging intermediates than didehydrobenzenes (benzynes). The existence of benzdiynes was originally suggested in the late 1960s from final products in organic reactions1–3 and in theoretical studies,4–6 but it was not until 30 years later that experimentalists found direct evidence of their existence. In 1997, we, for the first time, spectroscopically observed a benzdiyne derivative, 3,6‐bis(trifluoromethyl)‐1,4‐benzdiyne;7 however, we were unable to confirm the existence of unsubstituted benzdiynes in our experimental attempt 8, 9.…”
