All the solvents were degassed with argon before use. Dry methanol and dioxane were purchased from Acros and Aldrich. Other solvents and reagents were also obtained from Acros or Aldrich and were used as received. Deuterated solvents were obtained from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories. All other chemicals are commercially available and used without further purification.
Dry methanol
Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Dry methanol is a high-purity solvent that has been thoroughly dehydrated. It is a clear, volatile liquid with a characteristic alcoholic odor. Dry methanol is used as a chemical reagent and in various industrial applications where the absence of water is essential.

The nanocrystalline powder of MgO was obtained using a methoxide-based preparation route reported previously (52 ). Specifically, a metallic Mg ribbon (Sigma-Aldrich; ≥99.5%, 1.77 g) was reacted with dry methanol (Acros Organics; ≥99.8%, 90 ml) under a N2 atmosphere in an ice bath. After the complete dissolution of metallic Mg, dry toluene (Acros Organics; ≥99.85%, 60 ml) was added to the obtained methoxide solution and the reaction mixture was left under stirring for 1 hour. Subsequently, the obtained solution was slowly hydrolyzed by the dropwise addition of a mixture of deionized water:dry toluene:dry methanol = 2.65 ml:50 ml:150 ml. The obtained product was collected and dried using a rotary evaporator (40°C, 150 mbar, rpm = 100), followed by drying in an oven (T = 110°C, 12 hours). The collected dry Mg(OH)2 powder was calcined in a Nabertherm 1100°C furnace in a flow of synthetic air at 500°C for 6 hours; a heating rate of 1°C min−1 was applied to yield a powder of MgO.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
