      [Abstract] The stability constants of lanthanide complexes with the potentially octadentate ligand CHXOCTAPA4–, which contains a rigid 1,2-diaminocyclohexane scaffold functionalized with two acetate and two picolinate ...
    • Thiosemicarbazone Modified Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (TSC-ZIF) for Mercury(II) Removal From Water 

      Jaafar, Amani; Platas-Iglesias, Carlos; Bilbeisi, Rana A. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-04-30)
      [Abstract] Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8), and their derivatives, have been drawing increasing attention due to their thermal and chemical stability. The remarkable stability of ZIF-8 in aqueous and high pH ...
