Harnessing titanium dioxide surface toward novel functional materials
(2015)
The ever-increasing worldwide energy consumption has led the society to quest for novel and functional materials that can be used in the development of solar fuels to some extent lessen the dependence on fossil fuels. In ...
Direct functionalization of Mn12-(methacrylate) clusters on Si(100): surface characterization and electrochemical properties
(2016-09)
The reaction of H–terminated Si(100) with methacrylate–substituted manganese carboxylate clusters [Mn12O12{CH2C(CH3)COO}16(H2O)4], [Mn12–(methacrylate)] via hydrosilylation afforded Mn12–(methacrylate)−Si(100). The chemically ...
Crystal structure of (E)-2-(tert-butylamino)-4-(tertbutylimino)naphthalen-1(4H)-one
(2018)
The title compound, C18H24N2O, is the first example of a naphthoquinone imine derivative isolated in the 4-imine/2-amine tautomeric form having bulky alkyl substituents at the N atoms. The molecular conformation is stabilized ...
Crystal structure of 4-[(adamantan-1-yl)amino]naphthalene-1,2-dione
(2019)
The title compound, C20H21NO2, an example of a stable 1,2-naphthoquinone, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at 100 K. This structure illustrates steric buttressing of the adamantanyl group, forcing ...
Fisico-química de las aguas superficiales de la Cuenca del río Rincón, Península de Osa, Costa Rica
Hydrochemistry of the surface waters at the Rincon River Basin, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
(2010-12)
The Rincon River Basin is characterized by steep and rugged topography with outcrops of recent sediments as well as igneous and sedimentary rocks. The area is mostly covered by forest (Tropical Wet Forest) and agricultural ...
Removal of both N-nitrosodimethylamine and trihalomethanes precursors in a single treatment using ion exchange resins
(2017-11-01)
Drinking water utilities are relying more than ever on water sources impacted by wastewater effluents. Disinfection/oxidation of these waters during water treatment may lead to the formation of several disinfection ...
The role of chloramine species in NDMA formation
(2018-09)
N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen disinfection by-product, has been
detected in chloraminated drinking water systems. Understanding its formation over time is important
to control NDMA levels in ...
Influence of rice field agrochemicals on the ecological status of a tropical stream
(2016-01-15)
Many tropical countries contain a high density of protected ecosystems, and these may often be bordered by intensive agricultural systems. We investigated the chemical and ecological status of a stream connecting an area ...
Metals in coastal mollusks of Costa Rica
Metales en moluscos costeros de Costa Rica
(2015-12)
The input of contaminants to coastal ecosystems is a global problem on the rise. Data on metal pollution from tropical sites is often lacking and pilot surveys are urgently needed to provide a general framework to estimate ...
Removal of N-nitrosodimethylamine precursors with powdered activated carbon adsorption
(2016-01-01)
The main objective of this study was to examine the roles of powdered activated carbon (PAC) characteristics (i.e., surface chemistry, pore size distribution, and surface area) in the removal of N-nitrosodimethylamine ...
