Novel Gold Catalysts for the Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide at a Temperature far Below 0 °C

Masatake Haruta, Tetsuhiko Kobayashi, Hiroshi Sano et al. · 1 Feb 1987

Abstract A variety of gold catalysts can be used to catalyze the oxidation of carbon monoxide at temperatures as low as −70 °C and are stable in a moistened gas atmosphere. The novel catalysts, prepared by coprecipitation, are composed of ultra-fine gold particles and one of the oxides of 3d transition metals of group VIII,…

PRODUCTION OF CO AND CH4 IN ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF CO2 AT METAL ELECTRODES IN AQUEOUS HYDROGENCARBONATE SOLUTION

Yoshio Hori, Katsuhei Kikuchi, Shin Suzuki · 1 Nov 1985

Abstract The total analysis of gaseous and soluble products was carried out in the electrochemical reduction of CO2 (current density 5 mA cm−2) on various electrode metals. HCOO− was predominantly produced at Cd, In, Sn, and Pb cathodes. Ag and Au principally gave CO. CH4 was formed in an appreciable amount at Cu cathode.

Layered Lithium Insertion Material of LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Tsutomu Ohzuku, Yoshinari Makimura · 1 Jul 2001

Abstract Layered LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 was prepared by a solid state reaction at 1000 °C in air and examined in nonaqueous lithium cells. LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 showed a rechargeable capacity of 150 mAh g−1 in 3.5–4.2 V or 200 mAh g−1 in 3.5–5.0 V. Operating voltage of Li / LiCo1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 was by 0.2–0.25 V lower than that of a…

Overview of the Mechanistic Work on the Concerted Metallation–Deprotonation Pathway

David Lapointe, Keith Fagnou · 18 Sep 2010

Abstract The cleavage of aromatic C–H bonds promoted by a metal and an intramolecular base has been described over 50 years ago. Herein, discussion of selected mechanistic studies of this transformation will be presented. The basic ligand on the metal was proven to play a pivotal role in the C–H bond cleavage step and evidence…

Task-Specific Ionic Liquids

James H. Davis · 14 Aug 2004

Abstract The covalent tethering of a functional group to one or both of the ions of an otherwise ordinary ionic liquid can imbue the resulting salt with a capacity to interact with dissolved substrates in specific ways. Called “task-specific” ionic liquids (TSIL), these low melting salts are finding an increasing number of applications in synthesis,…

Chemistry Letters template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Chemistry Letters format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Chemistry Letters template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Chemistry Letters use?
Chemistry Letters uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Chemistry Letters, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Chemistry Letters?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Chemistry Letters document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Chemistry Letters template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Chemistry Letters format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Chemistry Letters?
Chemistry Letters is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Chemistry Letters template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Chemistry Letters PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Chemistry Letters template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Chemistry Letters template cost?
You can start writing in the Chemistry Letters template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Chemistry Letters PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
