Part 4: CYPHOS® IL 104In the last several blogs we focused on trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide aka CYPHOS® IL 109 (CAS # 460092-03-9, Strem: 15-6370, 96-6520, Ionic Liquid Kit 3: CYPHOS® IL Phosphonium Salt Kit) in lubrication [1-3].This time we would like to talk about another PIL based on trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium cation, namely,...

World Environment Day celebrates the power of consumers, businesses, and government agencies to create a more sustainable world. Observed on June 5, this United Nations international day is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge the role of chemistry in promoting environmental sustainability.

Phosphine (PH3) is produced by Syensqo at industrial scales and it's derivatives are readily available in the Strem Catalog for R&D quantities. This simple, yet challenging molecule provides the basis for a wide variety of materials that serve our world in numerous ways. PH3 can be reacted with radical initiators...

Professor Zhang Yongqiang of Shandong University has developed a series of (Salen)Ti catalysts. This series of catalysts has a deep chiral environment, excellent enantioselective control, and covers the dual functions of chiral Lewis acids and chiral metal radicals. It can be used in many applications. A variety of chemical transformations...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are composed entirely of carbon atoms and can be regarded as one-dimensional materials rolled from a single layer of graphene. Single-walled carbon nanotubes can be used as conductive agents in energy storage devices such as high-energy-density lithium batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and solid-state batteries. They can also...

Polysulfamide is a linear polymer with selective metal (palladium) adsorption capacity. The research group of Professor Yi Wenbin of Nanjing University of Science and Technology has developed a general method for preparing polysulfamide using secondary amines, and uses palladium to assist the synthesis of polysulfamide. A palladium-crosslinked polysulfamide skeleton metal...
