The hydroboration of alkenes of diverse structural types by assorted N-heterocyclic carbene boranes can be accomplished by addition of 5-10% diiodine. For example, reaction of 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene borane (diMe-Imd-BH3) with 10% I2 followed by addition of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene provided the corresponding thexyl

In order to investigate the heterogeneous oxidation kinetics of the herbicide terbuthylazine (TERB), a stable and reproducible generation system of "dark" hydroxyl radical in the gas phase was developed and optimized using a PTR-MS. TERB was adsorbed on silica particles

Ultraweak chemiluminescence arising from lipoperoxidation has been attributed by several authors to the radiative deactivation of singlet oxygen and triplet carbonyl products. The latter emitters have been suggested to come from annihilation of RO. and ROO. radicals as well as

A heterogeneous catalyst containing MoO42- exchanged on layered double hydroxides (Mo-LDHs) is used to produce 1O2 from H2O2, and with this dark 1O2, unsaturated hydrocarbons are oxidized in allylic peroxides. The oxidation kinetics are studied in detail and are compared
