Here we make use of the lone pair electrons found in most of 2D metal chalcogenides and report a functionalization method via a Lewis acid–base reaction that does not alter the host structure.

Introduction: In this experiment you synthesized an iron complex from the reaction of ferric chloride (FeCl 3) with potassium oxalate (K 2 C 2 O 4).This reaction is shown below. In this reaction the ...

In many biochemical processes, different catalytic species, such as Lewis acids and bases, ... (DBUH + pK a = 16.8), which has been heavily used as a base in reported carbene-catalysed reactions 40.

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) stepped into the synthetic limelight just over a decade ago. Composed of a Lewis acid and a Lewis base whose blocked inclination to bond grants the molecules great ...

The team's Lewis-base formation strategy could soon be applied to other perovskite materials, potentially contributing to the advancement of perovskite-based solar cells and their future real ...

A Lewis base is therefore an electron-pair donor. Because Lewis acids add electron pairs, they are often used to speed up chemical reactions. Lewis superacids are stronger than antimony ...

The Lewis acid-base theory, ... Mar. 24, 2022 — Chemists have developed an organic catalyst that can drive reactions using pyruvate -- a key biomolecule in many metabolic pathways ...

Researchers propose a strategy of Lewis-base ligand regulation at the electrode-electrolyte interface. By using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and similar ligands as electrolyte additives, the ...

Photo-acid generators (PAG) use light to generate acids as catalysts for various chemical reactions. No previous PAG can directly produce Lewis acids, however. Nara Institute of Science and ...
