Double Strike for the Alkaline Earth Metal Hydrides
Apart from MgH2, which is widely investigated for its hydrogen storage properties, alkaline earth metal hydrides are generally of no interest. The salt CaH2 reacts vigorously with water but is in contrast to other metal hydrides like LiAlH4 fully inert towards most organics. This is primarily due to its complete insolubility on account of extremely […]

The Rolling-Up of Oligophenylenes to Nanographenes by a HF-Zipping Approach
The fascinating properties of graphene have resulted in exploding interest in the synthesis of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or nanographenes, which represent fragments of the graphene surface. Dr. Konstantin Amsharov and PhD student Anni-Kristin Steiner (Institute of Organic Chemistry, FAU) have discovered an alternative method for the synthesis of such carbon-based nanostructures. Authors have found […]The fascinating properties of graphene have resulted in exploding interest in the synthesis of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or nanographenes, which represent fragments of the graphene surface.
