The tailored synthesis of carbon nitrides (CNs) is of particular interest in multidisciplinary catalytic applications. However, their fabrication in the form of one-dimensional (1D) nanorods for electrocatalytic carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation is not hitherto reported. Herein, a facile roadmap is

A method for the separation of tetrachloroplatinate PtCl(4)(2-), and hexachloroplatinate PtCl(6)(2-), by solid-phase extraction, using a Dowex 1x10 anion exchange resin is proposed. The sequential elution and separation of PtCl(4)(2-), and PtCl(6)(2-) is achieved using selective complexing agents. The eluates

The preparation of platinum(II) complexes containing L-serine using K(2)[PtCl(4)] and KI as raw materials was undertaken. The cis-trans isomer ratio of the complexes in the reaction mixture differed significantly depending on whether KI was present or absent in the reaction

Density functional theory is used to investigate the complexation ability of dendrimer outer pockets--in both tertiary amine protonated and unprotonated scenarios--toward molecular guests, particularly tetrachloroplatinate(II) and its mono- and diaquated derivatives as well as competing counterions. The effect of the
