Journal Article
Clarke, C. J., Clayton, T., Palmer, M. J., Lovelock, K. R. J., & Licence, P. (2024). A thermophysical investigation of weakly coordinated metals in ionic liquids. Chemical Science, 15(34), 13832-13840. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4sc03588g

Ionic liquids can solvate metals without strongly coordinating them, which gives a rare opportunity to probe the complexity of weakly coordinated metals through characterisation of liquid properties. In this work we use bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)i... Read More about A thermophysical investigation of weakly coordinated metals in ionic liquids.

Selenium (Se(VI)) is environmentally toxic. One of the most popular reducing agents for Se(VI) remediation is zero-valent iron (ZVI). However, most ZVI studies were carried out in water matrices, and the recovery of reduced Se has not been investigat...
