Two Examples of Nonclassical Fullerenes with Dodecahedral Structure

Sanchez Bernabe, F., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Two nonclassical fullerene are presented. The first one contains heptagonal faces, besides pentagons, and hexagons.This example contains 420 carbons. There are 60 heptagons. The number of hexagons is 80, and finally, we have 72 pentagons. [...]

Nonclassical Fullerenes with Cubic and Octahedral Structure

Sanchez-Bernabe, F.J., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Two types of nonclassical fullerenes are presented: the first one with 128 carbons, with a cubic structure. The second example, with 132 carbons, has octahedral structure. Fullerenes are important on diverse applications. "Brazuka" soccer ball [...]

Three Examples of Nonclassical Fullerenes with Tetrahedral Structure

Sanchez-Bernabe, F.J., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Three nonclassical fullerene are presented, they contain square and heptagonal faces, besides pentagons, and hexagons. The number of carbons are 64, 76, and 152, respectively. The first example that we consider of a nonclassical fullerene [...]

Hydrogen Adsorption on Isoreticular Metal-Organic Framework

Loera-Serna, S., López-Sosa, S., Ortíz, E., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Implement the use of hydrogen as an alternative energy source would reduce the use of fossil fuels, therefore it seeks to challenge any difficulty, mainly storage; an alternative of great interest is the use of [...]

Dyes Adsorption on Cu3(BTC)2 Metal-Organic Framework

Garcia-Ortiz, J., Loera-Serna, S., Ortíz, E., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

The present work suggests an alternative to the solution of environmental problems caused by the textile industry effluents, which contain natural dyes and non-biodegradable synthetic mostly. This solution is the use of porous metal-organic frameworks [...]

Luminiscent properties of europium-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate synthesized at room temperature

Carmona Téllez, S., Loera-Serna, S., Medina-Díaz, J.C., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

For many years the lanthanides have been considered as a series of complex, difficult to understand elements, however, research on them has not been adequate. In view of the many properties that have, in the [...]

Interaction between Volatile Organic Compounds and Functional Monomers in Molecularly Imprinted Materials

Luga, C., Noreña, L., Ortíz, E., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been playing an increasingly important role in volatile organic compound (VOC) sensing for air quality control. The unique feature of these materials is their biomimetic molecular recognition functionality. Theoretical chemistry [...]

Heterogeneous Catalyzed Oxidative Degradation of Indigo: A Theoretical and Experimental Study

Luga, C., Ortíz, E., Solís-Correa, H., Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, MX

Almost fifteen percent of the total world production of dyes is lost during the dyeing process and is released in the textile effluents. Removal of colour and organics by photocatalytic degradation is emerging as an [...]
