    Magnetic superbasic proton sponges are readily removed and permit direct product isolation
    (American Chemical Society, 2014) Schneider, Elia M.; Raso, Renzo; Hofer, Corinne J.; Zeltner, Martin; Stettler, Robert D.; Hess, Samuel C.; Grass, Robert N.; Stark, Wendelin J. [in: The Journal of Organic Chemistry]
    Workup in organic synthesis can be very time-consuming, particularly when using reagents with both a solubility similar to that of the desired products and a tendency not to crystallize. In this respect, reactions involving organic bases would strongly benefit from a tremendously simplified separation process. Therefore, we synthesized a derivative of the superbasic proton sponge 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN) and covalently linked it to the strongest currently available nanomagnets based on carbon-coated cobalt metal nanoparticles. The immobilized magnetic superbase reagent was tested in Knoevenagel- and Claisen-Schmidt-type condensations and showed conversions of up to 99%. High yields of up to 97% isolated product could be obtained by simple recrystallization without using column chromatography. Recycling the catalyst was simple and fast with an insignificant decrease in catalytic activity.

    Nanoparticle-assisted, catalytic etching of carbon surfaces as a method to manufacture nanogrooves
    (American Chemical Society, 2012) Schumacher, Christoph M.; Koehler, Fabian M.; Rotzetter, Aline C. C.; Raso, Renzo; Stark, Wendelin J. [in: The Journal of Physical Chemistry C]
    A simple structuring method for graphitic structures based on the catalytic properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles under oxidizing conditions is presented. Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite chips were impregnated with well-dispersed ceria nanoparticles and then treated at elevated temperatures for several hours. Oxidation activities on the particle surface appeared as crystallographically independent traces that were formed on the graphite and provide a simple method to manufacture nanogrooves at large scale. By altering treatment durations and temperatures, the optimal conditions and activity parameters of the particles were determined. A systematic AFM evaluation allowed formulating of a mechanism of the etching process. The findings provide a simple procedure for the patterning of graphitic structures, formation of nanogrooves and thereby a basic tool for material science with respect to the manufacturing of atmospheric nanofilters and ion-selective membranes.
