Synthesis and phosphorescence properties of Dy3+ and (Pr3+–Dy3+) in MgTiO3

Using tetra-n-butyl titanate and magnesium nitrate as raw materials, Dy³⁺ and Pr³⁺ ions in the matrix of magnesium titanate (MgTiO₃) was successfully synthesized by a modified solid-state reaction. The mixtures to achieve a solid-state reaction were heated in porcelain crucibles at 600?°C for 2?h, 900?°C for 6?h, and 1000.0?°C for 2?h. The reaction products obtained in an air atmosphere were characterized by X-ray powder diffractions. The optimization of reaction conditions were carried out by thermal gravimetry and differential thermal analysis methods. Surface and elemental analyses were performed by using on SEM instrument. The excitation and emission spectra were recorded by photoluminescence spectrophotometer.

Spectroscopy and Energy Transfer in Yb3＋ and Tm3＋ Co-doped Gd3Ga5O12 Crystal

Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped Gd3Ga5O12 single crystal with a dimension of Φ30mm×20mm was grown successfully by Czochralski method.The absorption spectrum was recorded at room temperature and used to calculate the absorption cross-section.Based on the Judd-Ofelt(J-O) theory,we obtained the three intensity parameters and spectral parameters of this crystal,such as the line strengths,oscillator strengths,radiative probabilities and radiative lifetimes as well as the fluorescent branching ratios.Room temperature fluorescence spectra and luminescence decay curves were recorded.The energy transfer between Yb3+-Tm3+ was observed and the mechanism was discussed.The stimulated emission cross-section of the 3F4→3H6 transition was calculated by the Füchtbauer-Ladenburg(F-L) equation.The potential laser gains for this transition were also investigated.This crystal is promising as a tunable infrared laser crystal at 2.0 μm.     

Photoluminescence Spectra and Crystallization of θ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 from AlOOH-Fe(NO3)3 Gels

Diphasic boehmite derived unseeded and seeded (by either -Al₂O₃, -Fe₂O₃, or Fe(NO₃)₃) alumina gel planar monoliths were examined by DTA, XRD and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Luminescence spectra enable sensitive monitoring of the - and -Al₂O₃ crystallization in heat-treated gels due to Cr³⁺ impurity traces. Fe(NO₃)₃ unlike other seeds effectively influences crystallization of both - and -Al₂O₃. The present results are interpreted as prevailing solution or Fe³⁺ ion effect on the crystallization process.     

Mixed Ligand Complexes of Am3+, Cm3+ and Eu3+ with HEDTA and HEDTA + NTA—Complexation Thermodynamics and Structural Aspects

The stability constants and the associated thermodynamic parameters of formation for the 1:1 binary complexes of Am³⁺, Cm³⁺ and Eu³⁺ with N-(2-hydroxyethyl) ethylenediaminetriacetate (HEDTA) and their 1:1:1 ternary complexes with HEDTA + NTA (nitrilotriacate) were determined by distribution ratio measurements using solvent extraction in aqueous solutions of I=0.10?mol?L^?1 (NaClO₄) at temperatures of 0?C45?°C. Formation of these complexes is favored by both the enthalpy (exothermic) and the entropy (endothermic) terms. Luminescence lifetime measurements with Cm and Eu were used to study the coordination environment of these complexes over a range of concentrations and pH values. In the binary complexes M(HEDTA), HEDTA is a hexadentate ligand with three waters of hydration, while in the ternary complexes M(HEDTA)(NTA)^3? we propose that the HEDTA retaines hexadentate coordination with NTA binding via three sites, depending on the pH of the solution, with the observation that the complex may contain a single water of hydration.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Tetraamminelithium-Rubidiumtriselenide, Li(NH3)4RbSe3, and Pentaamminesodium-Rubidiumtriselenide-Ammonia(1/3), Na(NH3)5RbSe3 · 3NH3

Summary. The ammoniates Li(NH₃)₄RbSe₃ and Na(NH₃)₅RbSe₃·3NH₃ were prepared by the reduction of Rb₂Se₅ with lithium or sodium in liquid ammonia.

The chains are separated in the crystal structures by the homoleptic ammine complexes Li(NH₃)₄⁺ and Na(NH₃)₅⁺.     

Direct Sp3α-C-H activation and functionalization of alcohol and ether

Seven kinds of sp(3)α-C-H activation/C-C formation reactions of alcohols and ethers have been reviewed in this tutorial review, from the viewpoint of both methodology and synthetic application, towards the efficiency, chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity, catalytic system, substrate scope and mechanistic study. Section 2 describes radical-mediated α-C-H activation and addition/elimination of ethers with unsaturated (C=C and C[triple bond]C) species. Sections 3-8 discuss the α-C-H activation and additions of alcohols and/or ethers with unsaturated (C=C, C[triple bond]C, C=O and C=N) compounds, which involve the key processes of radical mediation, carbenoid insertion, 1,5-H-migration, oxidative dehydrogenation coupling, transfer hydrogenative coupling, and metal-mediated C=C insertion into the C-H bond.     

Vibrational spectroscopy investigation using ab initio and density functional theory on 3′-chloropropiophenone and 3′-nitropropiophenone

The FTIR and FT Raman spectra of 3′-chloropropiophenone and 3′-nitropropiophenone have been recorded in the regions 4000–400 and 3500–100 cm^?1 respectively. The optimized geometry, frequency and intensity of the vibrational bands of 3′-chloropropiophenone and 3′-nitropropiophenone were obtained by ab initio and DFT levels of theory with complete relaxation in the potential energy surface using 6-31G (d,p) basis set. A complete vibrational assignment aided by the theoretical harmonic frequency analysis has been proposed. The harmonic vibrational frequencies calculated have been compared with experimental FTIR and FT Raman spectra. The observed and the calculated frequencies are found to be in good agreement. The experimental spectra also coincide satisfactorily with those of theoretically constructed simulated spectrograms.     

Synthesis and structure of new β-functionalized gem-bromonitroethenes — 2-arylsulfanyl- and 2-aryloxy-3-bromo-3-nitroacrylates

Alkyl 2,3-dibromo-3-nitroacrylates react with arylthiols and phenols to give earlier unknown representatives of β-functionalized gem-bromonitroethenes, namely, 2-arylsulfanyl- and 2-aryloxy-3-bromo-3-nitroacrylates; their structure was characterized by IR, UV, and NMR (¹H, ¹³C{¹H}, HMQC, HMBC) spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that methyl 3-bromo-2-(4-chlorophenylsulfanyl)-3-nitroacrylate has a Z-configuration; the sulfanylbromonitrovinyl fragment in its molecule is relatively coplanar, while the ester group is almost perpendicular to the plane of the C-C double bond.

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-β-D-allopyranoside

The synthesis of a novel compound, 3-deoxy-3-fluoro--d-allopyranoside, is described. It involves blocking the 4- and 6-positions of allose to cause fluorination only at the 3-position. This six-step synthesis gave pure crystalline compound in a 5% overall yield. The crystal structure, determined by X-ray diffraction, confirmed the chemical formula and configuration of the product. It showed that the C-F bond isaxial, while the C-(OH) bonds areequatorial. The overall conformation of this fluoroallose is similar to that of allose (Acta Cryst.1984,C40, 1863) (with OH instead of F), but the packing in the two crystals is different in the region of C3, the site of chemical variation.

Synthesis of 3′-deoxy-3′-iminodiacetic acid and 3′-deoxy-3′-aminodiethanol thymidine analogues and NMR study of their complexation with boronic acids

The iminodiacetic acid and aminodiethanol moieties are known for their ability to generate with boronic acids bicyclic structures having a strong intramolecular NB coordination. We describe here the convergent synthesis of 3′-deoxy-3′-iminodiacetic acid and 3′-deoxy-3′-aminodiethanol thymidine analogues. The abilities of these compounds to form boronate complexes with aliphatic or aromatic boronic acids were established by 1D and 2D ¹H and ¹³C NMR. Moreover, conformational analysis of the newly synthesized compounds revealed a marked preference for an N-type sugar puckering.

Growth and Crystal Structure of YbAl3（BO3）4

1 INTRODUCTION With the development of high power InGaAs laser diode (LD) as pump sources, the Yb3+-doped laser crystals have received much attention. Due to the simple energy level structure of the Yb3+ ions, the Yb3+-doped laser crystals have no concentration quenching, and have high quantum efficiency and low quantum defects even at high doping concentration of the Yb3+ ions[1, 2]. Therefore, the Yb3+-doped crystals are good candidates of media in the LD-pumped solid-state laser,…
