Removing fluoride from drinking water
(27 Aug 2009)
Excess fluoride in drinking water can have severe implications for human health, with effects ranging from dental and skeletal fluorosis, to the potentially fatal osteosarcoma (cancer of the bones). Pradyut Ghosh and colleague, from the Indian ...

Gas storage hots up!
(27 Aug 2009)
Chemists in Canada have synthesised an amine functionalised metal organic framework that shows a preference for CO2 adsorption
The impact of CO2 is a global issue and many scientists are looking into ways of CO2 mitigation. Materials that are capable of capturing and storing CO2 are therefore of great importance and metal organic frameworks (MOFs) already show great ...

Plastic waste: better to burn?
(26 Aug 2009)
Burning plastic can give off less carbon dioxide than burying it, scientists claim in a Royal Society of Chemistry journal. Swedish scientists studied the CO2 produced when unrecyclable plastics are incinerated and the energy given off is recovered, ...

Bridging the gap
(25 Aug 2009)
Scientists from Spain and Germany have shown electron transfer through extended tetrathiafulvalene bridges in electron donor-acceptor conjugates.Nazario Martín and colleagues from Universidad Complutense, Madrid and Dirk Guldi and his team from the ...

Annulation made easy
(20 Aug 2009)
Chinese scientists report a new and economical route to polycyclic aromatic compounds
Jin-Heng Li and co-workers from Hunan Normal University and Wenzhou University have developed an iron-catalysed intramolecular annulation route to the synthesis of naphthalen-1-ol and anthracen-1-ol core structures. Li believes that this new ...

Nanoparticle dialysis
(17 Aug 2009)
Scientists in Japan have made dispersed, colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles using dialysis
Kazuyuki Kuroda and colleagues from Waseda University have discovered another way of synthesizing colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSS). Kuroda has shown that they can successfully remove the surfactants via dialysis, whist still ...

Going off on a tangent
(11 Aug 2009)
Ji-Woong Park, Jae-Suk Lee and colleagues from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, investigated the structures formed when amphiphilic rod-coil block copolymers were dissolved in a solvent specific for the rod block of the ...

Two become one
(10 Aug 2009)
Susumu Kitagawa and colleagues at Kyoto University and Osami Sakata from the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute in Hyogo, have demonstrated that face selective growth of a second porous coordination polymer (PCP) crystal onto a core PCP ...

Catalyst releases hydrogen from the ultimate renewable source: urine
(06 Jul 2009)
You do two things at motorway services: fill up one tank and empty another. US chemists have combined refuelling your car and relieving yourself by creating a new catalyst that can extract hydrogen from urine.Chemistry World reports that the ...

Molecular machines changing faces
(06 Jul 2009)
Face selective translation of a cyclodextrin ring along an axle has been developed by Japanese scientists
Akira Harada and colleagues at Osaka University have constructed a rotaxane with a two-station system; consisting of an a-cyclodextrin (CD) and an axle molecule (that has two decamethylene units) linked by a 2-methylpyridinium group.Much attention ...
