The spectroscopic study of oxygen, a vital element in materials, physical, and life sciences,
is of tremendous fundamental and practical importance. 17O solid-state NMR (SSNMR) …

Rare earth oxyhydrides REO x H (3–2 x), with RE= Y, Sc, or Gd and a cationic FCC lattice,
are reversibly photochromic in nature. It is known that structural details and anion (O2–: H–) …

Boron-based heterogeneous catalysts, such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as well as
supported boron oxides, are highly selective catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation …

Recent advances in applying 17O solid-state NMR spectroscopy for catalytic oxides have
provided valuable information on the surface structure, active sites, and reaction …

Boron oxide/hydroxide supported on oxidized activated carbon (B/OAC) was shown to be an
inexpensive catalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane that offers activity …

The atomic-scale characterization of surface active sites on γ-alumina still represents a great
challenge for numerous catalytic applications. Here, we combine advanced density …

The rational understanding of γ-alumina (γ-Al 2 O 3) supported catalysts requires an ever
more improved atomic scale determination of the support's surface properties. By using …

The description of the formation, structure, and reactivity of coordination networks and metal–
organic frameworks (MOFs) remains a real challenge in a number of cases. This is notably …
