Hydrogen Adsorption on Isoreticular Metal-Organic Framework

Loera-Serna S., López-Sosa S., 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

Loera-Serna S., Garcia-Ortiz J., Garcia-Ortiz J., 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 [...]

Structural and Luminescent properties of Europium benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate

Alejandre-Zuniga B.Y., Loera-Serna S., Medina-Velazquez D.Y., Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Azcapotzalco, MX

The increasing demand of optoelectronic devices requires the development of luminescent materials with high luminescence quantum efficiency and reduced energy consumption, to this organic matrix materials doped with rare earths offer an great alternative. The [...]

Study of the photocatalytic oxidation mechanism of 1,3-dihydroxyanthraquinone using DFT methodology

Cortés-Romero C.M., Cuán A., Solís H., Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, MX

Chemical degradation of organic pollutants present not only in water but also in air and earth, has become the target of industrial and academic groups due to the negative impact that they have to the [...]

Copper complexes loaded on nanostructured TiO2 materials as citotoxic agents of cancer cells

Lopez T., Guevara P., Gómez E., Instituto Nacional de Neurologia y Neurocirugia, MX

In the present work ammonium tetrachlorocuprate (II) and copper (II) chloride were loaded on nanostructured mesoporous titania for determinate their anticancer properties. Copper-TiO2 materials were prepared using the sol-gel technology. Characterization of Copper complexes and [...]

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

Luga C., Ortíz E., Noreña L., 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., 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 [...]

Molar variation of water: alkoxy in the preparation of SiO2-DA materials and its effect on dopamine release from an implantable reservoir in the brain

Lopez T., Esquivel D., Garcia E., National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery, MX

In the present work we report the dopamine (DA) molecules stabilization in the network of nanostructured silica materials with the objective of using these as reservoirs of DA release in the brain. For this purpose [...]
