The decomposition of tris-(oxalato)-manganate (III) complex ion as the reaction suitable for the laboratory practice on chemical kinetics
Abstract: The complex ion [Mn(C2O4)3]3- is very photosensitive and rapidly decomposes at the daylight even at ambient temperatures. Although the mechanism of this reaction is complicated, its kinetic equation obeys the pseudo-first order. In addition, the tris-(oxalate)-manganate ion has a low thermal stability, and the reaction of its decomposition is highly affected by temperature. This makes this reaction very suitable for demonstrating the laws of chemical kinetics to the students – …

Review of Silicon Reactivity of Self-assembled monolayer and its Properties
Abstract: In most cases, the assumption of perfect high viscosity between silicon and silver underlies the modelization of silicene on Ag(111). According to recent reports, growth does not take place on top of the Ag(111) terraces, but rather within the first layer of them. In this article, we present the results of a study that combines scanning tunnelling microscopy and density functional theory to simulate the nucleation process and reveal the …
