Our report of a novel cationic dipalladium(I) hydride in (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 6315) shows a linear Pd-Pd-H core with H-ligand dynamics (solution NMR). Ab-initio MD...

The proposing team has a well established experience in the use of neutron scattering on samples containing molecular hydrogen. Our recent experimental results on cubic hydrogen...

Although the first patents involving the nickel positive electrode are more than 100 years old, our understanding of the phases involved in this system is still not complete. As...

We request a total of 9 days on TOSCA:6 days to investigate the interactions exhibited by two Li containing metal-organic framework materials on loading with CO2. Doping of Li...

We propose to collect INS data with TOSCA on nanoparticles of CoO and Co3O4 with different levels of hydration and size to study the effect of these parameters on the heat...

In this experiment MgH_2 impregnated into active carbon will be investigated through IINS. Since it is known that the enthalpy of formation of a material is lowered by...

Zeolites are perhaps the most successful microporous materials used for catalysis and separation processes in refineries and chemical industries[1-3]. This is due to the...

We request 12 days on TOSCA to study the interaction of adsorbed N2, CO2, CH4 and NO with a hydroxyl-decorated aluminium-based MOF NOTT-300. This proposed study will investigate...

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are three-dimensional networks consisting of metal cations/clusters linked through bridging organic ligands. Containing pores and cavities, such...

Recent infrared measurements by one of the applicants (GR) have shown that CO and CO2 adsorption on alumina-supported palladium catalysts form a variety of carbonate species. In...

Commercial routes for the manufacture of methyl methacrylate monomer have recently been developed that involve the reaction of esters over modified silicas, which are amphoteric...

Absolute hydrogen capacities of nanoporous storage materials cannot be accessed using conventional gas sorption experiments, but can be estimated by modelling experimental...

We propose to measure vibrational spectra from poly-acrylonitrile confined in nanoporous silica matrixes. Polymers confined in silica have recently been the subject of great...

Cold neutrons are widely used in different fields of research such as the study of the structure and dynamics of solids and liquids, the investigation of magnetic materials,...

Bimetallic nanoparticles are attractive materials due to their novel electronic, magnetic optical and catalytic properties which are distinctly different from those of their...

Ionic liquids are of interest to chemistry and material sciences because of their designer properties.The protic ionic liquids (PILs) are excellent proton carriers in fuel cell...

We apply for beam time on TOSCA to investigate this highly unusual system. Lithium nitride appears unique among storage materials in its ability to take up significant amounts...

We have previously studied proteins with IINS, as well as their building blocks (20 different amino acids). The latter studies of amino acids yielded sharp vibrational peaks...

Alloy catalysts are commonly employed for selective hydrogenation of organic molecules due to their enhanced selectivity than individual components but their structural and...

Our recent theoretical and experimental characterisations of novel Pd N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts showed a clear relation between low-energy normal mode energies and...
