Vibrational study of layered ZnPS3 compounds intercalated with [Co(η5 -C5H5)2+] and [Cr(η6 -C6H6)2+] CATIONS

Infrared and Raman spectra (10–3100 cm^?1) of the layered ZnPSs compound and of intercalates with [Co(η⁵ ? C₅H₅)₂⁺] and [Cr(η⁶ ? C₆H₆)₂⁺] cations in the polycrystalline state have been recorded 300–10 K temperature range. A complete assignment of the spectra is proposed in terms of PSs group motions, Zn²⁺ ion translations and [Co(η⁵ ? C₅H₅)₂⁺] or [Cr(η⁶ ? C₆H₆)₂⁺] internal vibrations. New low frequency for the [Co(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂⁺] intercalate at low temperature are assigned to librational and torsional modes of C₅H₅ rings. Moreover, the preresonance Raman spectra of this intercalate show a selective enhancement for the metal-ligand vibrations when the charge transfer band of the cobalticenium is approached. One concludes that guest molecules are intercalated under their cationic form, are weakly interacting with the host lattice and seem to be dynamically disordered at room temperature.

[Co(CO2)n]+团簇的红外解离光谱实验和理论研究

本文利用红外光解离光谱研究了一价钴阳离子与二氧化碳之间的相互作用. 通过密度泛函理论计算得到[Co(CO₂)_n]⁺团簇的几何结构,并且模拟了它们的振动光谱与实验数值进行比较. 研究结果表明,在[Co(CO₂)_n]⁺(n=2∽6)团簇中,钴阳离子通过电四极矩静电作用以端点结合的方式与二氧化碳中的氧原子结合在一起. 团簇的红外光谱都集中在二氧化碳反对称伸缩的波数附近,并且随着团簇尺寸的变化出现蓝移,最后把[Co(CO₂)_n]⁺的红外光解离光谱与稀有气体贴附的[Co(CO₂)_n]⁺-Ar的红外光解离光谱进行了比较.

Phase transition of [(C6H5)3PCH3]+(TCNQ)-2 and electrical transport properties

The electrical conductivity at 10GHz, the dielectric constant, and the thermoelectric power (TEP) of [(C₆H₅)₃PCH₃]⁺(TCNQ)^-₂, from 230 up to 400 K, have been measured. This organic quasi-one-dimensional solid undergoes a first order phase transition at 314 K. At the transition the conductivity increases by a factor of 2.2 and the activation energy drops to 0.26 from 0.31 eV. At 314 K TEP decreases abruptly from -75 to -60μVK^-1 and remains almost constant for T > 314 K. The dielectric permeability ?₀ is constant and equal to 5 in the low temperature phase, increases abruptly by 7% at the transition, and then depends strongly on temperature in the high temperature phase. Results of the high temperature phase are interpreted in terms of a strongly correlated salt.     

The effect of pressure on the spin density wave transition in the layered cobaltites [Ca2CoO3]0.62[CoO2] and [Ca2Co4/3Cu2/3O4]0.62[CoO2]

In order to investigate the pressure effect on the magnetism in the layered cobaltites, positive muon spin rotation and relaxation μ⁺SR experiments have been carried out up to 1.3 GPa using c-aligned polycrystalline samples of [Ca₂CoO₃]_0.62[CoO₂] and [Ca₂Co_4/3Cu_2/3O₄]_0.62[CoO₂]. A transverse field μ⁺SR experiment indicates that the transition temperature to an incommensurate spin density wave IC-SDW state is independent of hydrostatic pressure up to 1.3 GPa for the both compounds. Furthermore, there are no changes in the spontanious muon precession frequency in zero field at 5 K even under 1.3 GPa. These results strongly suggest that the IC-SDW exists not in the rocksalt-type block ([Ca₂CoO₃] and/or [Ca₂Co_4/3Cu_2/3O₄]) but in the CoO₂ plane.     

Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of [Fe(H2O)6]3+ in amorphous frozen solutions at weak applied magnetic fields

The ferric hexaquo complex, [Fe(H₂O)₆]³⁺, has been studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy of amorphous aqueous frozen solutions at weak applied magnetic fields. Spectra of well resolved paramagnetic hyperfine structure have been interpreted in terms of a spin Hamiltonian model for the crystal field interaction proposed in a previous work. Reasonable fits could be obtained only by the addition of a random magnetic field of a few Gauss which is attributed partly to the dipolar interaction with neighbouring iron ions, and partly to the ligand hyperfine interaction.     

The photoelectron spectra of tricyclo[3.3.0.02,6]Octene and tricyclo[3.3.0.02,6]Octane

The photoelectron spectra of tricyclo[3.3.0.0^2,6]octene (1) and tricyclo[3.3.0.0^2,6]octane (2) have been recorded. The first bands in these spectra are correlated with orbitals which are linear combinations of the Walsh orbitals and of the olefinic π-orbital. This assignment is based on a zero differential overlap molecular orbital model as well as on the results of extended Hückel calculations. The resonance integral <π|H|W > for 1 is found to be ?1.34 eV.     

Cycloaddition of 2′-azidoethyl glycosides to fullerene[C60] under ultrasonic irradiation

The reactions of fullerene[C₆₀] with 2′-azidoethyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-mannopyranoside (2a) and 2′-azidoethyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranoside (2b) under ultrasonic irradiation cause the cycloaddition of 2′-azidoethyl glycosides to fullerene[C₆₀] and lead to d-glycosyl fullerene[C₆₀] derivatives 3a and 3b, respectively. The glycosyl fullerene[C₆₀] derivatives were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, UV–vis, FAB-MS, FT-IR spectra and were a 1:1 glycoside fullerene [C₆₀]-adduct.     

Synthesis and characterization of hexakis(acetonitrile)chromium(III) tetrafluoroborate, [Cr(NCMe)6][BF4]3. A nonaqueous Cr source

Oxidation of [Cr^II(NCMe)₄][BF₄]₂ with thianthrinium tetrafluoroborate forms [Cr^III(NCMe)₆][BF₄]₃ exhibiting two ν_CN absorptions at 2331 and 2301 cm⁻¹, and has been structurally characterized with an average Cr-N distance of 1.999 Å. From the electronic absorption spectra the ligand field splitting, Δ₀, is 20,160 cm⁻¹, which is slightly larger than [Cr^III(OH₂)₆]³⁺ in accord with the divalent chromium analogues. The 298 K ESR has a resonance at g=1.9884, and the magnetic susceptibility has a 300 K moment of 3.85μ_B characteristic of S=3/2 Cr(III). The field dependence of the magnetization can be fit to the Brillouin function also characteristic of S=3/2.

Multiple hydrogen bonds connecting the different entities of compound thrust upon three-dimensional network a noncentrosymmetric configuration.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, thermal and dielectric properties of bis(p-phenylenediammonium) chloride hexachlorobismuthate(III) monohydrate [C6H4(NH3)2]2ClBiCl6.H2O

Synthesis, crystal structure, and dielectric properties of [C₆H₄(NH₃)₂]₂ClBiCl₆.H₂O are reported. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P2₁/n. The unit cell dimensions are a = 9.836(5), b = 19.582(5), c = 13.082(5) ?, β = 104.731(5)° with Z = 4. The atomic arrangement can be described by an alternation of organic and inorganic layers. The anionic layer is built up of octahedral of [BiCl₆]^3- arranged in sandwich between the organic layers. The crystal packing is governed by means of the ionic N–H···Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The dielectric properties have been investigated at temperature range from 297 to 410 K at various frequencies (10 Hz–100 kHz). Dielectric studies were performed to confirm results obtained with thermal analysis. The evolution of dielectric constant as a function of temperature and frequency of single crystal has been investigated in order to determine some related parameters.

Preferential orientation of planar Ni(CN)2-4 complex ions in a NaCl lattice: Evidence from EPR studies

Anomalous intensity distribution in the EPR spectrum from tetragonal [Ni(CN)₄.Cl₂]^5- complex in γ-irradiated NaCl:Ni(CN)^2-₄ has been observed. A detailed EPR study revealed that the planar Ni(CN)^2-₄ complex preferentially enters the lattice with the plane parallel to the {100} growth planes of the crystal. Consequently, regions in the crystal could be found where the complex ions are predominantly oriented parallel to one of the three {100} planes of the crystal. Possible mechanisms of incorporation of the ions are discussed.

Molecular dynamics and phase transitions in paramagnetic [Mn(H2O)6][SiF6] investigated by H NMR

The temperature dependences of ²H NMR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation time T₁ have been measured for paramagnetic [Mn(H₂O)₆][SiF₆]. The obtained ²H NMR spectra were simulated by considering the quadrupole interaction and paramagnetic shift. The variation of the spectra measured in phase III was explained by the 180° flip of water molecules. The activation energy E_a and the jumping rate at infinite temperature k₀ for the 180° flip of H₂O were obtained as 35 kJ mol⁻¹ and 4×10¹⁴ s⁻¹, respectively. The spectral change in phases I and II was ascribed to the reorientation of [Mn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ around the C₃ axis where the E_a and k₀ values were estimated as 45 kJ mol⁻¹ and 1×10¹³ s⁻¹, respectively. From the almost temperature independent and short T₁ value, the correlation time for electron-spin flip-flops, τ_e, and the exchange coupling constant J were obtained as 3.0×10⁻¹⁰ s and 2.9×10⁻³ cm⁻¹, respectively. The II-III phase transition can be caused by the onset of the jumping motion of [Mn(H₂O)₆]²⁺ around the C₃ axis.     

Spin relaxation and magnetic shielding of 93Nb nuclei in [NbCl n Br6-n ]- anions

The temperature dependence of T ₁ and T ₂ relaxation times of ⁹³Nb nuclei in octahedral [NbCl _n Br_6-n ]^-(n = 0 to 6) complexes contained in acetonitrile solution is measured. The relaxation rate is found to be controlled by quadrupole interactions in all complexes except cis-[NbCl₃Br₃]^-. The relaxation mechanism in cis-[NbCl₃Br₃]^- anion depends on exchange processes associated with intramolecular cis?trans isomerization. Calculated values of the electric field gradient (EFG) tensor invariant g _φ ² agree qualitatively with experimental values of T _1,2 ^-1. For cis-[NbCl₃Br₃]^- g _φ ² = 0. On the basis of data for T ₁ and T ₂ the assignment of resonant signals to isomers has been established. The relative chemical shift of cis and trans isomers does not correspond to that evaluated by using a pairwise additivity model. The variations of diamagnetic Δσ^d and paramagnetic Δσ^p contributions to the shielding constant of ⁹³Nb nuclei with the composition of coordination sphere are calculated. Δσ^p contribution to the chemical shifts in the [NbCl _n Br_6-n ]^- is shown to be about 70 per cent.     

Simultaneous measurement of neuronal and glial metabolism in rat brain in vivo using co-infusion of [1,6-C2]glucose and [1,2-C2]acetate

In this work the feasibility of measuring neuronal-glial metabolism in rat brain in vivo using co-infusion of [1,6-¹³C₂]glucose and [1,2-¹³C₂]acetate was investigated. Time courses of ¹³C spectra were measured in vivo while infusing both ¹³C-labeled substrates simultaneously. Individual ¹³C isotopomers (singlets and multiplets observed in ¹³C spectra) were quantified automatically using LCModel. The distinct ¹³C spectral pattern observed in glutamate and glutamine directly reflected the fact that glucose was metabolized primarily in the neuronal compartment and acetate in the glial compartment. Time courses of concentration of singly and multiply-labeled isotopomers of glutamate and glutamine were obtained with a temporal resolution of 11 min. Although dynamic metabolic modeling of these ¹³C isotopomer data will require further work and is not reported here, we expect that these new data will allow more precise determination of metabolic rates as is currently possible when using either glucose or acetate as the sole ¹³C-labeled substrate.

The properties of five highly conducting salts: (TMTSF)2X, X = PF6-, AsF6-, SbF6-, BF4- and NO3-, derived from tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene (TMTSF)

The properties of five new highly conducting salts of TMTSF, (TMTSF)₂X, X = PF₆^-, AsF₆^-, SbF₆^-, BF₄^- and NO₃^- are reported. The measurements include d.c. and m.w. conductivity, thermopower, optical reflectivity, magnetic susceptibility and ¹⁹F-NMR. Preliminary structural data indicate uniform donor stacks. Metal to insulator transitions in four materials occur below 20 K, where specific conductivities higher than 10⁵ (Ω-cm)^?1 are observed for two salts (X = PF₆^- and NO₃^-).
