Conducting Organic Polymers
Conducting organic polymers. Polypyrrole and polyaniline, doped with anionic boron clusters, are produced either chemically or electrochemically to be used in water desalting and for sensor devices making benefit of their electrical and electrochromic properties. The [NBu4]+ and [PBu4]+ … Continue reading
Homogeneous Catalysis
The group is engaged in the synthesis and chemistry of cage compounds incorporating boron, carbon and transition metals which are usually bonded by S, P, and B-H bonds from the cluster. The spatial and electronic caracteristics of the cluster provide … Continue reading
Ionic Liquids
Ionic Liquids (ILs) are liquids at temperatures below 100ºC that are entirely made of ions. They typically consist of nitrogen-containing organic cations and inorganic anions. Typical cations are nitrogen substituted imidazolium and pyridinium cations. Typical anions are Cl–, Cl–/AlCl3, … Continue reading
