  • Patent number: 10016748
    Abstract: This invention relates to an iron-sulfur complex that is capable of efficiently catalyzing formation of hydrogen, and a method for producing hydrogen using the complex as a catalyst. The iron-sulfur complex provided herein comprises: a structure of formula (I) wherein the ligands L1 to L3, L5 and L6 and the groups X1 to X3 are each selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl and aryl that are substituted or unsubstituted, hydroxyl, carbonyl, aldehyde, and so on; L4 is a bridging ligand selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, carbonyl, and so on; and the symbol ā€œzā€ means the charge, which is an integer with the range of ?3 to +2. X1 and X2 may join together to form a bridging group between the two sulfur atoms. X3 may alternatively be a vacant site.

  • Publication number: 20080050202
    Abstract: A fastening device includes a main body and a first wedging part extending from the main body and fastened onto a first element. A pin passes through the main body. One end of the pin contacts the back surface of the first wedging part, and the second end of the pin has a second wedging part that is fastened onto a second element. Thereby, the first wedging part and the wedging fastening part fasten the second element on the first element firmly. The structure of the fastening device is simple, and the fastening effect is good.
