99Tc NMR determination of the oxygen isotope content in 18O‐enriched water

⁹⁹Tc NMR has been suggested as an original method of evaluating the content of oxygen isotopes in oxygen‐18‐enriched water, a precursor for the production of radioisotope fluorine‐18 used in positron emission tomography. To this end, solutions of NH₄TcO₄ or NaTcO₄ (up to 0.28 mol/L) with natural abundance of oxygen isotopes in virgin or recycled ¹⁸O‐enriched water have been studied by ⁹⁹Tc NMR. The method is based on ¹⁶O/¹⁷O/¹⁸O intrinsic isotope effects in the ⁹⁹Tc NMR chemical shifts, and the statistical distribution of oxygen isotopes in the coordination sphere of TcO₄⁻ and makes it possible to quantify the composition of enriched water by measuring the relative intensities of the ⁹⁹Tc NMR signals of the Tc¹⁶O_4−n¹⁸O_n⁻ isotopologues. Because the oxygen exchange between TcO₄⁻ and enriched water in neutral and alkaline solutions is characterized by slow kinetics, gaseous HCl was bubbled through a solution for a few seconds to achieve the equilibrium distribution of oxygen isotopes in the Tc coordination sphere without distortion of the oxygen composition of the water. Pertechnetate ion was selected as a probe due to its high stability in solutions and the significant ⁹⁹Tc NMR shift induced by a single ¹⁶O→¹⁸O substitution (−0.43 ± 0.01 ppm) in TcO₄⁻ and spin coupling constant ¹J(⁹⁹Tc–¹⁷O) (131.46 Hz) favourable for the observation of individual signals of Tc¹⁶O_4−n¹⁸O_n⁻ isotopologues.     

18O distributions in porous anodic alumina by plasma profiling time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry and nuclear reaction analysis

A comparison is made between plasma profiling time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (PP‐TOFMS) and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) for depth profiling of ¹⁸O tracer in porous anodic oxide films on aluminum. The films were formed galvanostatically, for a range of times, using phosphoric acid electrolytes that were either enriched in ¹⁸O or of the natural isotopic concentration. The morphologies of the films were determined by electron microscopy. The findings from PP‐TOFMS and NRA reveal a partitioning of the tracer between the surface regions and buried layers of the films. However, a relatively high background of ¹⁶O in PP‐TOFMS prevents a reliable quantification of the concentration of ¹⁸O. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Tri‐µ‐O‐S‐O Manganese Dimer: Synthesis,Structral and EPR Study

A Tri‐µ‐O‐S‐O coordinative manganese dimer: [Mn₂(SO₄)₂(phen)₄]·CH₃OH (phen1,10‐phenanthroline) ( 1 ) was yielded by the reaction of 1,10‐phenanthroline and MnSO₄·H₂O in a mixed solvent of methanol and acetonitrile under room temperature and was structurally characterized. Single crystal analysis shows that complex 1 has polymeric structure based on binuclear Mn(II) units bridged by O‐S‐O groups of two SO₄²⁻ anion. The UV spectrum of the complex clarifies that each metal‐organic building unit parallels with each other through the Π‐Π interactions of face‐to‐face separations of two 1,10‐phen planes among the complex, forming a layered structure. And the electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal clearly indicates that those manganese atoms in complex 1 are in +2 oxidation states.     

Properties and Structure of Spinel Li‐Mn‐O‐F Compounds for Cathode Materials of Secondary Lithium‐ion Battery

The spinel Li‐Mn‐O‐F compound cathode materials were synthesized by solid‐state reaction from calculated amounts LiOH‐H₂O, MnO₂(EMD) and LiF. The results of the electrochemical test demonstrated that these materials exhibited excellent electrochemical properties. It's initial capacity is ‐ 115 mAh.g¹ and reversible efficiency is about 100%. After 60 cycles, its capacity is still around 110 mAh.g¹ with nearly 100% reversible efficiency. The spinel Li‐Mn‐O‐F compound possibly has two structure models: interstitial model [Li]‐[Mn³⁺_xMn⁴⁺_2‐x]O₄F_δ, in which the fluorine is located on the interstice of crystal lattice, and substituted model [Li]‐[Mn³⁺_xMn⁴⁺_2‐x]O_4‐δF_δ, which the fluorine atom substituted the oxygen atom. The electrochemical result supports the interstitial model [Li][Mn³⁺_xMn⁴⁺_2‐x]O₄F_δ.     

Hydrogen bonding in polyamino‐polyalcohols: a monohydrated cocrystal of 1,3‐diamino‐5‐azaniumyl‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol iodide and 1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol

In the title monohydrated cocrystal, namely 1,3‐diamino‐5‐azaniumyl‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol iodide–1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol–water (1/1/1), C₆H₁₆N₃O₃⁺·I⁻·C₆H₁₅N₃O₃·H₂O, the neutral 1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol (taci) molecule and the monoprotonated 1,3‐diamino‐5‐azaniumyl‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol cation (Htaci⁺) both adopt a chair conformation, with the three O atoms in axial and the three N atoms in equatorial positions. The cation, but not the neutral taci unit, exhibits intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonding. The entire structure is stabilized by a complex three‐dimensional network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The neutral taci entities and the Htaci⁺ cations are each aligned into chains along [001]. In these chains, two O—H...N interactions generate a ten‐membered ring as the predominant structural motif. The rings consist of vicinal 2‐amino‐1‐hydroxyethylene units of neighbouring molecules, which are paired via centres of inversion. The chains are interconnected into undulating layers parallel to the ac plane, and the layers are further held together by O—H...N hydrogen bonds and additional interactions with the iodide counter‐anions and solvent water molecules.     

Bonding in titanocenyl complexes containing O,O′‐cyclic ligands

Density functional theory calculations show that the formal 16‐electron count of d⁰ [Cp₂Ti^IV(O,O′‐BID)]^0/1 complexes containing a O,O′‐chelated bidentate ligand O,O′‐BID of different ring size, is increased via Ti←O π bonding when both the O donor atoms carry a formal negative charge. The Ti←O π bonding occurs by symmetry lowering of the complex by either symmetrical (C_s) or unsymmetrical (C₂) folding of the O,O′‐BID ligand round the O···O axis. An NBO analysis confirms the Ti←O π charge transfer via back‐bonding. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2010     

NMR study of O and N,O‐substituted 8‐quinolinol derivatives

The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral study of several biologically active derivatives of 8‐quinolinol have been made through extensive NMR studies including homodecoupling and 2D‐NMR experiments such as COSY‐45°, NOESY, and HeteroCOSY. Electron donating resonance and electron withdrawing inductive effect of several groups showed marked changes in chemical shifts of nuclei at the seventh positions of O‐substituted quinolinols (2–15). Although in N‐alkyl, 8‐alkoxyquinolinium halides (16–21), ring A rightly showed low frequency chemical shift values. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Hydrogen‐bonding patterns in bis[2,4,6‐triazaniumylcyclohexane‐1,3,5‐tris(olate)‐κ3O,O′,O′′]germanium(IV) tetrachloride hexahydrate

A first preliminary report on the crystal structure of a hydrated salt formulated as [Ge(taci)₂]Cl₄·13H₂O (taci is 1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol) appeared more than 20 years ago [Ghisletta (1994). PhD thesis, ETH Zürich. Switzerland]. At that time it was not possible to discriminate unambiguously between the positions of some of the chloride ions and water O atoms, and disorder was thus postulated. In a new determination, a conclusive scheme of hydrogen bonding proves to be a particularly appealing aspect of the structure. Single crystals of the title compound, C₁₂H₃₀GeN₆O₆⁴⁺·4Cl⁻·6H₂O or [Ge(taci)₂]₂Cl₈·12H₂O, were grown from an aqueous solution by slow evaporation of the solvent. The two [Ge(taci)₂]⁴⁺ cations exhibit a double‐adamantane‐type structure with exclusive O‐atom coordination and approximate D_3d symmetry. The taci ligands adopt a zwitterionic form with deprotonated hydroxy groups and protonated amino groups. Both cations are hydrogen bonded to six water molecules. The structure of the hydration shell of the two cations is, however, slightly different. The {[Ge(taci)₂]·6H₂O}⁴⁺ aggregates are interlinked in all three dimensions by further hydrogen bonds of the types N—H...Cl...H—N, N—H...O(H)₂...H—N, (Ge)O...H—O(H)...H—N, N—H...O(H)—H...Cl...H—N, (Ge)O...H—O—H...Cl...H—N, N—H...O(H)—H...Cl...H—(H)O...H—N, (Ge)O...H—O—H...Cl...H—(H)O...H—N and Ge(O)...H—O—H...Cl...H—O—H...O(Ge).     

A three‐dimensional cadmium(II) coordination polymer: poly[[[μ‐4,4′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)dipyridine‐κ2N:N](μ‐3,3′‐thiodipropionato‐κ3O,O′:O)cadmium(II)] monohydrate]

In the title coordination polymer, {[Cd(C₆H₈O₄S)(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)]·H₂O}_n, the Cd^II atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination, formed by three carboxylate O atoms and one S atom from three different 3,3′‐thiodipropionate ligands, and two N atoms from two different 4,4′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)dipyridine ligands. The Cd^II centres are bridged through carboxylate O atoms of 3,3′‐thiodipropionate ligands and through N atoms of 4,4′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)dipyridine ligands to form two different one‐dimensional chains, which intersect to form a two‐dimensional layer. These two‐dimensional layers are linked by S atoms of 3,3′‐thiodipropionate ligands from adjacent layers to form a three‐dimensional network.     

Synthesis and Optoelectronic Properties of Hexahydroxylated 10‐O‐R‐Substituted Anthracenes via a New Modification of the Friedel–Crafts Reaction Using O‐Protected ortho‐Acetal Diarylmethanols

A new modification of the Friedel–Crafts type intramolecular cyclization involving O‐protected ortho‐acetal diarylmethanols as a new type of reactant, was carried out for the first time in a medium containing a large amount of water at room temperature and enabled synthesis of a series of electron‐rich, hexahydroxylated 10‐O‐R‐substituted anthracenes, where R is an alkyl (Me, nBu, n‐C₁₆H₃₃) or arylalkyl group (CH₂Ph, CH₂‐2‐Napht, CH₂C₆H₄CH₂OAr) and also evaluation of their electronic and optoelectronic properties in solution, crystal, and solid thin film. In this transformation, a central 10‐O‐R‐substituted benzene ring was formed, fused to rings originating from two independent aromatic aldehydes. The reaction proceeded via two identified mechanisms involving acetal and/or free aldehyde groups. The acid sensitive acetal and dibenzyl alkoxy functions have never been used together in the intramolecular Friedel–Crafts type cyclization. The new compounds revealed deep blue fluorescence and quantum yields in solution around 0.3. The electrical properties investigated for thin films obtained by vacuum deposition on glass were 10‐O‐R‐substituent dependent and showed much faster transient current decay in the case of the 10‐O‐CH₂Ph derivative than for the material with a 10‐O‐Me substituent (the lifetime of charge carriers was 25 times shorter in this case). The AFM images of thin films, Stokes shifts, and X‐ray analysis of π‐stacking interactions in crystals of the new materials have been also obtained.     

NMR study of the synthesis of 17O‐enriched acetic acid by hydrolysis of acetic anhydride with 17O‐enriched water

¹⁷O‐enriched acetic acid (2.5% in ¹⁷O) was synthesized by hydrolysis of acetic anhydride with ¹⁷O‐enriched water. The reaction was monitored by ¹⁷O and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Acetic anhydride, ¹⁷O‐enriched in both the ether and the carbonyl oxygens, was observed as an intermediate. This can be ascribed to competition between acetic acid and water for nucleophilic attack on acetic anhydride. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

NMR analysis of the O‐antigen polysaccharide from Escherichia coli strain F171

The structure of the O‐antigen polysaccharide from Escherichia coli strain F171 has been determined. NMR analysis of the polysaccharide showed that it was composed of pentasaccharide repeating units. The ¹H and ¹³C signals were assigned by 2D NMR techniques which revealed severe spectral overlap for key resonances at substitution positions. The structure of the repeating unit was deduced from ¹H,¹³C HMBC and, in particular, by ¹H,¹H NOESY experiments as follows: The structure is identical with that of the O‐antigen from Escherichia coli O25 previously determined by chemical degradation methods and the strain F171 should therefore belong to this serogroup.

Use of metal composite MOF‐5‐Ag2O‐NPs as an adsorbent for the removal of Auramine O dye under ultrasound energy conditions

In this work, MOF‐5 composited with Ag₂O nanoparticles was prepared and characterized via X‐ray diffraction, field emission‐scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy and FT‐IR analysis. This new material was subsequently employed for removing basic yellow dye [Auramine O (AO)] from aqueous solution under ultrasound irradiation. Several experiments were designed by central composite design in which operational parameters such as such as pH, MOF‐5‐Ag₂O mass and initial concentration of AO involved in the process were optimized. The significance of individual parameters and their possible interactions were investigated using analysis of variance (anova ). The optimum values of 6, 0.025 g and 6 mg l^?1 were obtained for the pH, MOF‐5‐Ag₂O‐NPs mass and the initial concentrations of AO, respectively, with desirability of 1.0. At such conditions, the efficiency for the removal of AO was found to be 89.45%. Various isotherm models for fitting the experimental equilibrium data were studied, and it was found that the Langmuir model has the highest efficiency for correlation of experimental equilibrium data, so that the monolayer adsorption capacity of MOF‐5‐Ag₂O for successful removal of AO was 260.70 mg g^?1 at optimal conditions.     

A rapid and sensitive LC–MS/MS method for quantification of quercetin‐3‐O‐β‐d‐glucopyranosyl‐7‐O‐β‐d‐gentiobioside in plasma and its application to a pharmacokinetic study

A rapid and sensitive LC–MS/MS method with good accuracy and precision was developed and validated for the pharmacokinetic study of quercetin‐3‐O‐β‐d ‐glucopyranosyl‐7‐O‐β‐d ‐gentiobioside (QGG) in Sprague–Dawley rats. Plasma samples were simply precipitated by methanol and then analyzed by LC–MS/MS. A Venusil® ASB C₁₈ column (2.1 × 50 mm, i.d. 5 μm) was used for separation, with methanol–water (50:50, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 300 μL/min. The optimized mass transition ion‐pairs (m/z) for quantitation were 787.3/301.3 for QGG, and 725.3/293.3 for internal standard. The linear range was 7.32–1830 ng/mL with an average correlation coefficient of 0.9992, and the limit of quantification was 7.32 ng/mL. The intra‐ and inter‐day precision and accuracy were less than ±15%. At low, medium and high quality control concentrations, the recovery and matrix effect of the analyte and IS were in the range of 89.06–92.43 and 88.58–97.62%, respectively. The method was applied for the pharmacokinetic study of QGG in Sprague–Dawley rats. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An LC–MS/MS method for quantitation of cyanidin‐3‐O‐glucoside in rat plasma: Application to a comparative pharmacokinetic study in normal and streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats

A sensitive and reliable liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed to determine cyanidin‐3‐O‐glucoside (Cy‐3G) in normal and streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rat plasma. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a Zorbax SB‐C₁₈ (50 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column and mass spectrometric analysis was performed using a Thermo Finnigan TSQ Quantum Ultra triple‐quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled with an ESI source in the negative ion mode. Selected reaction monitoring mode was applied for quantification using target fragment ions m/z 447.3 → 285.2 for Cy‐3G and m/z 463.0 → 300.1 for quercetin‐3‐O‐glucoside (internal standard). The calibration curve was linear over the range 3.00–2700 ng/mL (r² ≥ 0.99) with the lower limit of quantitation at 3.00 ng/mL. Intra‐ and inter‐day precision was <14.5% and mean accuracy was from −11.5 to 13.6%. Stability testing showed that Cy‐3G remained stable during the whole analytical procedure. After validation, the assay was successfully used to support a preclinical pharmacokinetic comparison of Cy‐3G between normal and diabetic rats. Results indicated that diabetes mellitus significantly altered the in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of Cy‐3G after oral administration in rats.     

3,4,6‐Tri‐O‐acetyl‐1,2‐O‐[1‐(exo‐ethoxy)ethylidene]‐β‐d‐mannopyranose 0.11‐hydrate

The title compound, C₁₆H₂₄O₁₀·0.11H₂O, is a key intermediate in the synthesis of 2‐deoxy‐2‐[¹⁸F]fluoro‐d ‐glucose (¹⁸F‐FDG), which is the most widely used molecular‐imaging probe for positron emission tomography (PET). The crystal structure has two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit, with closely comparable geometries. The pyranose ring adopts a ⁴C₁ conformation [Cremer–Pople puckering parameters: Q = 0.553 (2) Å, θ = 16.2 (2)° and ϕ = 290.4 (8)° for molecule A, and Q = 0.529 (2) Å, θ =15.3 (3)° and ϕ = 268.2 (9)° for molecule B], and the dioxolane ring adopts an envelope conformation. The chiral centre in the dioxolane ring, introduced during the synthesis of the compound, has an R configuration, with the ethoxy group exo to the mannopyranose ring. The asymmetric unit also contains one water molecule with a refined site‐occupancy factor of 0.222 (8), which bridges between molecules A and B via O—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

A new two‐dimensional managnese(II) coordination polymer constructed by 2,2′‐(1,2‐phenylene)bis(1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylate)

In recent years, N‐heterocyclic carboxylate ligands have attracted much interest in the preparation of new coordination polymers since they contain N‐atom donors, as well as O‐atom donors, and have a rich variety of coordination modes which can lead to polymers with intriguing structures and interesting properties. A new two‐dimensional coordination polymer, namely poly[[μ₃‐2,2′‐(1,2‐phenylene)bis(4‐carboxy‐1H‐imidazole‐5‐carboxylato)‐κ⁶O⁴,N³,N^3′,O^4′:O⁵:O^5′]manganese(II)], [Mn(C₁₆H₈N₄O₈)]_n or [Mn(H₄Phbidc)]_n, has been synthesized by the reaction of Mn(OAc)₂·4H₂O (OAc is acetate) with 2,2′‐(1,2‐phenylene)bis(1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylic acid) (H₆Phbidc) under solvothermal conditions. In the polymer, each Mn^II ion is six‐coordinated by two N atoms from one H₄Phbidc²⁻ ligand and by four O atoms from three H₄Phbidc²⁻ ligands, forming a significantly distorted octahedral MnN₂O₄ coordination geometry. The Mn^II ions are linked by hexadentate H₄Phbidc²⁻ ligands, leading to a two‐dimensional structure parallel to the ac plane. In the crystal, adjacent layers are further connected by N—H…O hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional structure in the solid state.     

A three‐dimensional zinc‐based coordination polymer built from 5‐carboxylato‐1‐carboxylatomethyl‐2‐oxidopyridinium with a 4‐connected sra topology

A novel three‐dimensional Zn^II complex, poly[aqua(μ₄‐5‐carboxylato‐1‐carboxylatomethyl‐2‐oxidopyridinium)zinc(II)], [Zn(C₈H₅NO₄)(H₂O)]_n, has been prepared by hydrothermal assembly of Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O and 5‐carboxy‐1‐(carboxymethyl)pyridin‐1‐ium‐2‐olate (H₂ccop). The ccop²⁻ anions bridge the Zn^II cations in a head‐to‐tail fashion via monodentate aromatic carboxylate and phenolate O atoms to form an extended zigzag chain which runs parallel to the [011] direction. One O atom of the aliphatic carboxylate group of the ccop²⁻ ligand coordinates to the Zn^II atom of a neighbouring chain thereby producing undulating layers which lie parallel to the (01) plane. A similar parallel undulating planar structure can be obtained if a path involving the other O atom of the aliphatic carboxylate group is considered. Thus, the aliphatic carboxylate group acts in a bridging bidentate mode to give extended –Zn–O–C–O–Zn– sequences running parallel to [001] which link the layers into an overall three‐dimensional framework. The three‐dimensional framework can be simplified as a 4‐connected sra topology with a Schläfli symbol of 4².6³.8 if all the Zn^II centres and ccop²⁻ anions are regarded as tetrahedral 4‐connected nodes. The three‐dimensional luminescence spectrum was measured at room temperature with excitation and emission wavelengths of 344–354 and 360–630 nm, respectively, at intervals of 0.15 and 2 nm, respectively.     

Layer‐by‐layer deposition of nitrilotris(methylene)triphosphonic acid and Zr(IV): an XPS,ToF‐SIMS,ellipsometry, and AFM study

Layer‐by‐layer assemblies consisting of alternating layers of nitrilotris(methylene)triphosphonic acid (NTMP), a polyfunctional corrosion inhibitor, and zirconium(IV) were prepared on alumina. In particular, a nine‐layer (NTMP/Zr(IV))₄NTMP stack could be constructed at room temperature, which showed a steady increase in film thickness throughout its growth by spectroscopic ellipsometry up to a final thickness of 1.79 ± 0.04 nm. At higher temperature (70 °C), even a two‐layer NTMP/Zr(IV) assembly could not be prepared because of etching of the alumina substrate by the heated Zr(IV) solution. XPS characterization of the layer‐by‐layer assembly showed a saw tooth pattern in the nitrogen, phosphorus, and zirconium signals, where the modest increases and decreases in these signals corresponded to the expected deposition and perhaps removal of NTMP and Zr(IV). Time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF‐SIMS) confirmed the attachment of the NTMP molecule to the surface through PO^?, PO₂^?, PO₃^?, and CN^? signals. Increasing attenuation of the Al signal from the substrate after deposition of each layer was observed by both XPS and ToF‐SIMS. Essentially complete etching of the alumina by the heated Zr(IV) solution was confirmed by spectroscopic ellipsometry, XPS, and ToF‐SIMS. Atomic force microscopy revealed that all the films were smooth with R_q roughness values less than 0.5 nm. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

O‐loss photodissociation of the OCS+ ion in the low‐lying electronic states studied using multiconfiguration second‐order perturbation theory

The CASPT2 potential energy curves (PECs) for O‐loss dissociation from the X²Π, A²Π, B²Σ⁺, C²Σ⁺, 1⁴Σ^?, 1²Σ^?, and 1⁴Π states of the OCS⁺ ion were calculated. The PEC calculations indicate that X²Π, 1⁴Σ^?, 1²Σ^?, and 1⁴Π correlate with CS⁺(X²Σ⁺) + O(³P_g); A²Π and B²Σ⁺ correlate with CS⁺(A²Π) + O(³P_g); and C²Σ⁺ probably correlates with CS⁺(X²Σ⁺) + O(¹D_g). The CASSCF minimum energy crossing point (MECP) calculations were performed for the C²Σ⁺/1⁴Σ^?, C²Σ⁺/1⁴Π, A²Π/1⁴Σ^?, A²Π/1²Σ^?, A²Π/1⁴Π, and B²Σ⁺/1²Σ^? state pairs and the spin‐obit couplings were calculated at the located MECPs. A conical intersection point between the B²Σ⁺ and C²Σ⁺ potential energy surfaces was found at the CASSCF level. Based on our calculations, seven O‐loss predissociation processes of the C²Σ⁺ state are suggested and an appearance potential value of 7.13 eV for the CS⁺ + O product group is predicted. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
