Synthesis and structure of (CN3H6)2[UO2CrO4(C5H3N(COO)2)]

(CN₃H₆)₂[UO₂CrO₄(C₅H₃N(COO)₂)] crystals (where CN₃H₆ is the guanidinium cation and C₅H₃N(COO)₂ is the pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate anion) have been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. The compound crystallizes in triclinic system with the unit cell parameters a = 7.4115(3) Å, b = 10.0365(7) Å, c = 12.1822(10) Å, α = 93.992(6)°, β = 97.749(7)°, γ = 96.907(6)°; space group $P\bar 1$ , Z = 2, R = 0.0721. The structure consists of [UO₂CrO₄(C₅H₃N(COO)₂)] ₂ ^4? , centrosymmetric dimers linked with the outer-sphere guanidinium ions by means of electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds. [UO₂CrO₄(C₅H₃N(COO)₂)] ₂ ^4? dimers belong to the AT⁰⁰¹B² crystallochemical group (A = UO ₂ ²⁺ , T⁰⁰¹ = C₅H₃N(COO) ₂ ^2? B² = CrO ₄ ^2? ) of uranyl complexes. Using molecular Voronoi-Dirichlet polyhedra, we have established that, in addition to hydrogen bonds, the π-π stacking interaction also produces some effect on the packing of uranyl-containing complexes in the studied structure.     

Antibacterial drugs as environmentally-friendly corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in acid medium

The effect of cefazolin (CZ) and cefotaxime (CT) as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in 0.5 M H₂SO₄ solution was investigated by use of potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). CZ and CT acted as mixed-type inhibitors. Inhibition increased with increasing inhibitor concentration and decreased with increasing temperature. Adsorption of the inhibitors obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. SEM confirmed inhibition by the inhibitors. Inhibition by 5 × 10^?4 M CZ and 7 × 10^?4 M CT approached 99.6 % and 90.9 %, respectively. The EIS and EFM results were in good agreement with the potentiodynamic data.     

Lumineszenzspektren von ein- und zweikernigen Chrom(III)-Glycin-Komplexverbindungen

The luminescence spectra of the polycrystalline compounds [Cr(CH₂NH₂COO)₃ · H₂O] and [Cr₂(OH)₂(CH₂NH₂COO)₄] are investigated in the temperature range of 120K – 4.2K. From the known crystal structure (P2_1/c =D _2h ^/5 ) of the mononuclear compound assignment of the zero-phonon bands based on crystal field theory becomes possible. Both of the highly intense phosphorescence transitions are observed at \(P_1 = 14493 cm^{ - 1} ({}^2A'' \xrightarrow{{0.0}} {}^4A) and P_2 = 14428 cm^{ - 1} ({}^2A' \xrightarrow{{0.0}} {}^4A)\) . Assignment of the accompanying vibronic bands is made from the measured infrared data. Crystal field parameters Dq, B and C are determined from the luminescence and reflectance spectra. In the case of the binuclear compound the Cr³⁺-Cr³⁺ interaction via hydroxyl brides may be described by an axchange operator \(H_{ex} = - 2 \sum\limits_{ij} {J_{ij} S_i^a \cdot S_j^a } \) and from this the energy level diagram is calculated. Both observed strong phosphorescence bands at 14369 cm^?1 and 14184 cm^?1 are assigned to \(\left| {{}^2E \cdot {}^4A_2 \rangle _{s = 2} \xrightarrow{{0.0}}} \right| {}^4A_2 \cdot {}^4A_2 \rangle _{s = 2} and \left| {{}^2E \cdot {}^4A_2 \rangle _{s = 1} \xrightarrow{{0.0}}} \right| {}^4A_2 \cdot {}^4A_2 \rangle _{s = 1} \) transitions.

Anhydrous and partially hydrated acid trinuclear trifluoroacetates of divalent transition metals of the composition [M₃(CF₃COO)₆(CF₃COOH)₆)](CF₃COOH) and [M₃(CF₃COO)₆(CF₃COOH)₂(H₂O)₄)](CF₃COOH)₂, respectively, where M = Co (I, III) Ni (II, IV), were synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction. Complexes I and II were obtained by crystallization from solutions of M(CF₃COO)₂ · 4H₂O in trifluoroacetic anhydride; complexes III and IV were synthesized under the same conditions with the use of 99% trifluoroacetic acid as a solvent. Crystals I are triclinic: space group $P\bar 1$ , a = 13.199(6) Å, b = 14.649(6) Å, c = 15.818(6) Å, α = 90.04(4)°, β = 114.32(4)°, γ = 108.55(4)°, V = 2611.3(19) ų, Z = 2, R = 0.0480. Crystals II are trigonal: space group $R\bar 3$ , a = 13.307(2) Å, c = 53.13(1) Å, V = 8148(2) ų, Z = 6, R = 0.1112. Crystals III are triclinic: space group $P\bar 1$ , a = 9.001(8) Å, b = 10.379(9) Å, c = 12.119(9) Å, α = 83.67(5)°, β = 72.33(5)°, γ = 83.44(5)°, V = 1068.3(15) ų, Z = 1 Å, R = 0.1031. Crystals IV are triclinic: space group $P\bar 1$ , a = 9.121(18) Å, b = 10.379(2) Å, c = 12.109(2) Å, α = 84.59(3)°, β = 72.20(3)°, γ = 82.80(3)°, V = 1080.94(40) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0334.     

Cis-Cycloprolylprolin-Anion-ein konfigurationsstabiles Carbanion

The racemisation ofcyclo-(l-Pro?l-Pro) (2) with metal amides in liq. ammonia was examined. The K-kation causes more extensive racemisation than Na-kation, which in turn is more effective than Li⁺. This, the racemisation of2 int-butyl alcohol with K⁺C₆H₅O^? and the data gained from corresponding deuterated medium show that the racemisation of2 proceeds in two steps: in the first, the less stabletrans-cyclo-(l-Pro?d-Pro) (3) is formed, followed by the rapid conversion of3 to a mixture ofcyclo-(l-Pro?l-Pro) andcyclo-(d-Pro?d-Pro) in the second step.     

Calculation of solvation free energies of Li+ and O2 ? ions and neutral lithium–oxygen compounds in acetonitrile using mixed cluster/continuum models

Solvation effects play a major role in determining the cycling characteristics of the non-aqueous rechargeable Li-air battery. We use a mixed cluster/continuum solvent model with varying number of explicit solvent molecules (n?=?4–10) to calculate the solvation free energies ( $ \Updelta G_{\text{solv}}^{*} $ ) of Li⁺ and O₂ ^? ions and neutral LiO₂, Li₂O₂, LiO, and Li₂O species in acetonitrile solvent. Calculations for complexes with the full first solvation shell around Li⁺ (n?=?4) and O₂ ^? (n?=?8) show excellent agreement with the solvation free energies obtained using the cluster pair approximation (the error is below 2.0?kcal/mol). The use of the pure continuum model fitted to reproduce the experimental values of $ \Updelta G_{\text{solv}}^{*} $ (Li⁺) and $ \Updelta G_{\text{solv}}^{*} $ (O₂ ^?) gives the solvation free energies of various lithium–oxygen species (Li _x O _y ; x, y?=?1, 2) that are in excellent agreement with the results obtained using mixed cluster/continuum models (n?≥?8). This provides a theoretical framework for including solvent effects in the theoretical models of oxygen reduction and evolution reactions in the aprotic Li-air battery.     

Metastable and collision-induced fragmentation studies of all C4H12Si+ isomers; a systematic study of structure-reactivity relations

Metastable ion (MI) and collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra have been recorded and compared for all nine C₄H₁₂Si^+. isomers. The (Me)₄Si^+., t-BuSiH ₃ ^+. , s-BuSiH ₃ ⁺ , and (Me)₂EtSiH^+. isomers have unique MI and CID mass spectra. The MI mass spectra, including the kinetic energy release values, of (Me)(i-Pr)SiH ₂ ^+. and (Me)(n-Pr)SiH ₂ ^+. are identical, which implies isomerization. MI data also suggest that a fraction of the n-BuSiH ₃ ^+. ions rearrange into branched (Me)₂EtSiH^+. ions and a fraction of the n-BuSiH ₃ ^+. ions rearrange into branched s-BuSiH ₃ ^+. ions. A comparison with the isomeric C₅H ₁₂ ^+. pentanes reveals a crucial difference: H₂ loss occurs for n-BuSiH ₃ ^+. , i-BuSiH ₃ ^+. , s-BuSiH ₃ ^+. , (Me)(n-Pr)SiH ₂ ^+. , (Me)(i-Pr)SiH ₂ ^+. , and Et₂SiH ₂ ^+. , but not for any of the C₅Hi ₁₂ ^+. isomers. Generation of four- or five-membered silicon containing rings is suggested for H₂ loss from the C₄H₁₂Si^+. silanes.     

Collision-induced dissociation evidence for charge separation and “ball-and-chain” propagation in the addition of 1-butene to C 60 2+

The collision-induced dissociation of the adduct ions C₆₀(C₄H₈) ₂ ²⁺ and C₆₀(C₄H₈) ₃ ²⁺ formed by sequential reactions of C ₆₀ ²⁺ with 1-butene has been investigated by using a selected-ion flow tube (SIFT) apparatus. Experiments at 295 ± 2 K in 0.35 ± 0.02 torr of helium indicated that C ₆₀ ²⁺ adds at least five molecules of 1-butene in a sequential fashion with rates that decrease with the number of molecules added. Collision-induced dissociation experiments in which the downstream sampling nose cone of the SIFT was biased with respect to the flow tube indicated that the adduct ions C₆₀(C₄H₈) ₂ ²⁺ and C₆₀(C₄H₈) ₃ ²⁺ dissociate into C ₆₀ ^·+ and (C₄H₈) ₂ ^·+ and (C₄H₈) ₃ ^·+ , respectively. These observations provide evidence for the occurrence of charge separation in the derivatization of C₆₀ dications and support the “ball-and-chain” mechanism first proposed by Wang et al. in 1992 for the sequential multiple addition of 1,3-butadiene to C ₆₀ ²⁺ and C ₇₀ ²⁺ .     

Sensitive chemiluminescence method for the determination of glutathione, l-cysteine and 6-mercaptopurine

Glutathione (GSH), l-cysteine (l-Cys) and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) inhibit the CL reaction of luminol–H₂O₂ catalyzed by gold colloids. In order to explore this, GSH, l-Cys and 6-MP were injected into the chemiluminescence system of luminol and H₂O₂ catalyzed by gold colloids. The results showed that gold colloids interact with GSH, l-Cys and 6-MP and decrease the CL emission. Based on this phenomenon, a simple, sensitive and convenient flow injection CL method was developed for the determination of GSH, l-Cys and 6-MP. This method provides a novel, and effective CL assay for GSH, l-Cys and 6-MP that has been applied to the determination of GSH in human serum.     

Determination of H2S and HCl concentration limits in the fuel for anode supported SOFC operation

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electric generator, operating based on electrochemical reaction converting gaseous fuel to electricity and heat. It is characterized by the high electrical efficiency of up to 70% with cogeneration and negligible emission of pollutants. Syngas from the biomass gasification is considered to be a possible fuel for solid oxide fuel cell systems. However, high level of contaminants such as H₂S, HCl, alkali metals, tars and particulates, in addition to possibility of carbon deposition and high temperature gradients due to internal reforming of hydrocarbons requires cleaning and conditioning of the syngas stream. The current status of the effect of contaminants on the SOFC performance has been reviewed and effects of single contaminants (H₂S, HCl) has been tested. It has been found that anode supported solid oxide fuel cell (AS-SOFC) with Ni/YSZ cermet anode can tolerate up to 1 ppm H₂S and up to 10 ppm HCl without significant performance degradation.      

Cluster ions ejected from an Li-Mg alloy liquid metal ion source: Observation of MG 2 2+ and MG 3 2+

Ions ejected from a liquid metal ion source of an Li-Mg (10 atom %) alloy have been investigated by using a magnetic mass analyzer. In addition to singly charged homonuclear Li _n ⁺ (n ≤ 9) and Mg _n ⁺ (n ≤ 4) and heteronuclear Mg_mLi _n ⁺ (m, n ≤ 2) clusters, doubly charged diatomic and triatomic Mg clusters are observed. Discussion is focused on the observability and the formation mechanism of the doubly charged small Mg clusters. A postionization process is suggested for the formation of the doubly charged clusters.     

Adsorption affinity of anions on metal oxyhydroxides

The dependences of anion (phosphate, carbonate, sulfate, chromate, oxalate, tartrate, and citrate) adsorption affinity anions from geometric characteristics, acid-base properties, and complex forming ability are generalized. It is shown that adsorption depends on the nature of both the anions and the ionic medium and adsorbent. It is established that anions are generally grouped into the following series of adsorption affinity reduction: PO ₄ ^3? , CO ₃ ^2? > C₂O ₄ ^2? , C(OH)(CH₂)₂(COO) ₃ ^3? , (CHOH)₂(COO) ₂ ^2? > CrO ₄ ^2? ? SO ₄ ^2? .     

Electroconductance of single-crystal Li2 + x Fe 2 − 2x 2+ Fe x 3+ (MoO4)3 (x = 0.22)

Electrophysical properties of single-crystal Li_{2 + x} Fe _{2 ? 2x} ²⁺ Fe _x ³⁺ (MoO₄)₃ (x = 0.22) are studied at 25–400°C. It is found that the conduction is of electronic nature and the conductivity equals 5 × 10^-2 S/cm at 300°C. The activation energy for the electron transport is 0.23 eV. The conductance in molybdate Li_2.22Fe _1.56 ²⁺ Fe _0.22 ³⁺ (MoO₄)₃ is markedly anisotropic.     

Theoretical Study of Electronic Structure and Stability of Mixed AlmBn−mH n 2− and CmBn−mH n 2−m (n = 6, 10, 12 and m = 1, 2) Clusters

Density functional theory (DFT) method with B3LYP functional and 6-311++G(d,p) basis set has been used to predict the geometries, relative stabilities, electronic structures and bonding analysis of Mixed Al_mB_n?mH _n ^2? and C_mB_n?mH _n ^2?m (n = 6, 10, 12 and m = 1, 2) clusters; being compared to the B_nH _n ^2? ones. Therefore, the DFT results suggest that the replacing of boron by aluminium or carbon is governed by Natural net charges following Gimar’s and Williams’s rules. The Al_mB_n?mH _n ^2? structures are relatively distorted compared to those of B_nH _n ^2? and C_mB_n?mH _n ^2?m . In Al_mB_n?mH _n ^2? structures Al atoms prefer the adjacent sites, however for the C₂B_n?2H_n cluster cages, the carbon atoms are positioned at diametrically opposed sites. The large HOMO–LUMO gaps show that the predicted clusters have chemical stabilities, principally, those of Al_mB_n?mH _n ^2? ones, which are not experimentally isolated. The optimized geometries obtained through boron substitution by Al and C lead to compactness and to contracted structures, respectively, where B–B bonds are the shortest in mono- and di-carbaboranes.     

Effect of inorganic ions on the photocatalytic degradation of humic acid

The article studies on the effects of six inorganic ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Cl^?, SO ₄ ^2? , H₂PO ₄ ^? , and HCO ₃ ^? ) on titanium dioxide (TiO₂)-based photocatalytic degradation of humic acid (HA). We focus on the effects of the inorganic ions on HA characters, adsorption of HA on TiO₂ and photocatalytic degradation of HA. The results indicate that Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ with HA can form complexes which can decrease the solubility of HA, and then increase the HA adsorbed on TiO₂. However, the complex is more difficult to be degraded than HA. The effects of Cl^? and SO ₄ ^2? are closely related to their influences on HA solubility. The solubility changes of HA to some extent can enhance the adsorption of HA on TiO₂, and promote the photocatalytic degradation. Nevertheless, great solubility decreasing of HA can weaken the photocatalytic degradation. HCO ₃ ^? and H₂PO ₄ ^? can inhibit the photocatalytic degradation process seriously, because HCO ₃ ^? and H₂PO ₄ ^? are the strong scavengers of hydroxyl radicals, and can weaken the adsorption of HA on TiO₂ due to adsorption competition.     

Synthesis and X-ray diffraction study of cs3[UO2(CH3COO)3]2[UO2(CH3COO)(NCS)2(H2O)] and Cs5[UO2(CH3COO)3]3[UO2(NCS)4(H2O)] · 2H2O

Cs₃[UO₂(CH₃COO)₃]₂[UO₂(CH₃COO)(NCS)₂(H₂O)] (I) and Cs₅[UO₂(CH₃COO)₃]₃[UO₂ (NCS)₄(H₂O)] · 2H₂O (II) have been synthesized via the reaction between uranyl acetate and cesium thiocyanate in aqueous solution. According to single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, both compounds crystallize in monoclinic system with the unit cell parameters a = 18.7036(5) Å, b = 16.7787(3) Å, c = 12.9636(3) Å, β = 92.532(1)°, space group C2/c, Z = 4, R = 0.0434 (I); and a = 21.7843(3) Å, b = 24.6436(5) Å, c = 13.1942(2) Å, β = 126.482(1)°, space group Cc, Z = 4, R = 0.0273 (II). Uranium-containing structural units of compound (I) are mononuclear [UO₂(CH₃COO)₃]^? and [UO₂(CH₃COO)(NCS)₂(H₂O)]^? moieties, which correspond to the AB ₃ ⁰¹ and AB⁰¹M ₃ ¹ crystallochemical groups (A = UO ₂ ²⁺ , B⁰¹ = CH₃COO^?, M¹ = NCS^? and H₂O). The structure of compound II is built of [UO₂(CH₃COO)₃]^? and [UO₂(NCS)₄(H₂O)]^2? complexes, which belong to the AB ₃ ⁰¹ and AM ₅ ¹ crystallochemical groups, respectively. Uranium-containing complexes in both structures are linked into a framework by hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions with cesium cations. The IR spectra of compounds I and II agree well with X-ray diffraction data.     

Formation of O 2 − in charge transfer collisions of fast molecular hydrogen ions with O2 molecules

Cross sections for the production of O ₂ ^? in charge transfer collisions of fast molecular hydrogen ions (H ₂ ⁺ , D ₂ ⁺ , H ₃ ⁺ , and D ₃ ⁺ of 10 to 140 keV kinetic energy) with O₂ molecules have been determined by means of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer analysing the slow negative product ions from the collisions. Within the measuring accuracy equivelocity H ₂ ⁺ and D ₂ ⁺ ions have the same cross sections for the generation of O ₂ ^? . The projectile velocity dependence curve of the cross section passes through a broad maximum with a peak value of about 6.5×10^?18 cm² around the Bohr velocity (25 keV/u) before showing an asymptotic decrease still within the limited energy range under investigation that is in inverse proportion to the square of velocity. Throughout the examined energy range H ₃ ⁺ ions yield a cross section which is about 1.4 times larger than that of H ₂ ⁺ ions of the same velocity. The fragment ion O^? has been found to appear with cross sections between 10^?19 and 10^?18 cm² upon collisional excitation in the energy range under investigation, with ever decreasing intensity when the energy of the positive hydrogen ions, the proton included, was increased.     

Improving rate performance of cathode material Li<Subscript>1.2</Subscript>Mn<Subscript>0.54</Subscript>Co<Subscript>0.13</Subscript>Ni<Subscript>0.13</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> via niobium doping

As a promising Li-ion battery cathode active material, lithium-rich manganese-based layer-structured oxides suffer from inferior cycle performance and poor rate capability. Herein, Nb-doped Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂ is prepared by a sol-gel method, and the effects of Nb doping on its electrochemical performance are investigated. It is concluded that the Nb-doped Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂, has a good layered structure along c-axis independent on the amount of Nb dopant and little cationic mixing. Nb doping for Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂ has no obvious influence on its morphology. It is found that Nb doping can enhance the electrochemical activity of Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂, such as improved rate performance and cycle performance under high rate conditions. Li_1.2Mn_0.54Ni_0.13Co_0.13O₂ doped with 0.015 Nb shows the best cycle performance under the high rate with the capacity maintenance of 95.4% after 100 cycles under 5 C rate, which is higher than that of the undoped one by 10.5%.

Studies on enzymatic oxidation of 3′,4′-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine to dopachrome using kinetic isotope effect methods

We report the studies on the mechanism of oxidation of 3′,4′-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (l-DOPA) to neurotoxic dopachrome catalyzed by enzyme horseradish peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) using the kinetic (KIE), and solvent (SIE), isotope effect methods. For kinetic studies two specifically deuterated isotopomers: [2′,5′,6′-²H₃]-l -DOPA was synthesized by the acid catalyzed isotopic exchange between native l-DOPA and heavy water, and [5′-²H]-l-DOPA was synthesized in two step reaction. The first step involved acid catalyzed isotopic exchange between l-tyrosine and deuterated water and resulting product [3′,5′-²H₂]-l-tyrosine was hydroxylated by enzyme tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1). The values of deuterium KIEs and SIE’s in the enzymatic oxidation of l-DOPA and its isotopomers are determined using non-competitive spectrophotometric method. The measured values were: KIE on V _max (1.1 and 2.2) and KIE on V _max/K _M (1.7 and 3.2) for [2′,5′,6′-²H₃]-l-DOPA and [5′-²H]-l-DOPA, respectively, while the corresponding values of SIE were: SIE on V _max (2.1, 2.4, and 2.1) and SIE on V _max/K _M (1.3. 1.6, and 1.1) for l-DOPA, [2′,5′,6′-²H₃]-l-DOPA, and [5′-²H]-l-DOPA, respectively. The size of KIE and SIE, typical for secondary isotope effects indicate that both the solvent and presence of deuterium at the 2′-, 5′, and 6′-positions of l-DOPA has the little impact on the enzymatic oxidation of this compound.     

The Standard Chemical-Thermodynamic Properties of Phosphorus and Some of its Key Compounds and Aqueous Species: An Evaluation of Differences between the Previous Recommendations of NBS/NIST and CODATA

The aqueous chemistry of phosphorus is dominated by P(V), which under typical environmental conditions (and depending on pH and concentration) can be present as the orthophosphate species H₃PO ₄ ⁰ (aq),H₂PO ₄ ^? (aq),HPO ₄ ^2? (aq) or PO ₄ ^3? (aq). Many divalent, trivalent and tetravalent metal ions form sparingly soluble orthophosphate phases that, depending on the solution pH and concentrations of phosphate and metal ions, can be solubility limiting phases. Geochemical and chemical engineering modeling of solubilities and speciation require comprehensive thermodynamic databases that include the standard thermodynamic properties for the aqueous species and solid compounds. The most widely used sources for standard thermodynamic properties are the NBS (now NIST) Tables (from 1982 and earlier, with a 1989 erratum) and the final CODATA evaluation (1989). However, a comparison of the reported enthalpies of formation and Gibbs energies of formation for key phosphate compounds and aqueous species, especially H₂PO ₄ ^? (aq) and HPO ₄ ^2? (aq), shows a systematic and nearly constant difference of 6.3 to 6.9 kJ?mol^?1 per phosphorus atom between these two evaluations. The existing literature contains numerous studies (including major data summaries) that are based on one or the other of these evaluations. In this report we examine and identify the origin of this difference and conclude that the CODATA evaluation is more reliable. Values of the standard entropies of the H₂PO ₄ ^? (aq) and HPO ₄ ^2? (aq) ions at 298.15 K and p?° =1 bar were re-examined in the light of more recent information and data not considered in the CODATA review, and a slightly different value of S _m ^o (H₂PO ₄ ^? , aq, 298.15 K) = (90.6±1.5) J?K^?1?mol^?1 was obtained.
