BENCHTOP FACTORY FOR CROSS-COUPLING REACTIONS BY CIRCULATORY CATALYST FLOW USING LOW-VISCOSITY IONIC LIQUID AS REACTION MEDIUM AND CATALYST SUPPORT

Benchtop factory for cross-coupling reactions by circulatory catalyst flow using low-viscosity ionic liquid as reaction medium and catalyst support

This article describes the development of a circulatory catalyst flow system Centerpiece for Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as the Mizoroki-Heck reaction and the Sonogashira reaction, in which low-viscosity ionic liquids such as [bmim]NTf2 and [emim]NTf2 were used as a recyclable reaction medium and a catalyst support.A benchtop produc

The Internet and the Debasement of Women in Ghana

Feminine Deodorant Products In the spring of 1998, a radio station in Ghana announced that sixteen Ghanaian women had appeared in the nude on the Internet.Widely discussed in the Ghanaian media, the public reaction to this event seemed to be largely one of shock and moral outrage.The article addresses both the responses to and possible causes of th

Large-scale atomistic simulations of nanostructured materials based on divide-and-conquer density functional theory

A linear-scaling algorithm based on a divide-and-conquer (DC) scheme is designed to perform large-scale molecular-dynamics simulations, in which interatomic forces are computed quantum mechanically in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT).This scheme is applied to the thermite reaction at an Al/Fe2O3 interface.It is found that mass d
