Interference of probabilities and number field structure of quantum models

We study the probabilistic consequences of the choice of the basic number field in the quantum formalism. We demonstrate that by choosing a number field for a linear space representation of quantum model it is possible to describe various interference phenomena. We analyse interference of probabilistic alternatives induced by real, complex, hyperbolic (Clifford) and p‐adic representations.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Coordination Polymer {[Co(phth)(phen)(H2O)]·(C2H5OH)}n

The coordination polymer {[Co(phth)(phen)(H2O)]·(C2H5OH)}n (phth = phthalate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) with formula C22H20CoN2O6 (Mr = 467.33) was synthesized by the solvothermal method under low temperature, and its crystal structure was determined by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction. The complex belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a =12.7352(16), b = 8.8125(11), c = 18.677(2) (A), β = 102.633(2)°, V = 2045.3(4) (A)3, Z = 4, Dc =1.518 g/cm3,μ = 0.882 mm-1, F(000) = 964, S = 1.053, the final R = 0.0401 and wR = 0.0984 for 3135 observed reflections (I ＞ 2σ(I)). Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed that the Co(Ⅱ) ion is six-coordinated. The cobalt complex forms a one-dimensional chain structure via phthalate bridging ligand. In the cobalt complex, a 3D network structure is formed by π-π stacking interaction of 1,10-phenanthroline as well as intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions.     

Generalized Complex Spectral Decomposition for a Quantum Decay Process

By extending the notion of mixed states to functionals acting on the space of observables with diagonal singularity we obtain a well-defined complex spectral decomposition of the time evolution for a quantum decaying system. In this formalism, generalized Gamow states are obtained with well-defined physical properties.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Mononuclear Nickel(Ⅱ) Mixed Complex Derived from 2-Aminoethyl-bi(3-bi-aminopropyl)amine with 1,10-Phenanthroline

The mixed complex [Ni(L)(L')](ClO4)2 has been synthesized using 2-aminoethyl- bi(3-bi-aminopropyl)amine with phen (1,10-phenanthroline) in the presence of Ni(II) ion, and its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 13.713(2), b = 13.1466(19), c = 14.780(2) (A), β = 97.620(3)°, V = 2640.9(7)(A)3, F(000) = 1272, Z = 4, Dc = 1.540 g/cm3, R = 0.0536 and wR = 0.1207. The Ni2+ ion is six- coordinated to furnish a distorted octahedral geometry.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Structure of [Mn(C_8H_5NO_4)·H_2O]_n·2nH_2O

1 INTRODUCTION The self-assembly of organic-inorganic hybrid ma- terials is an intriguing area, which is yielding new generations of supramolecular architectures[1, 2]. Coor- dination by transition metals with multifunctional ligands is one of the main design principles. As a rigid multi-dentate ligand, 5-aminoisophthalic acid (AIP) has received considerable attention owing to the variety of bridging abilities[3~8]. It can engage in three types of intermolecular interactions: (1) M-L b…     

Synthesis and characterization of new bis(1-aryliminomethylenylnaphthalen-2-oxy)nickel complexes and their catalytic behavior for vinyl polymerization of norbornene

The synthesized 1-aryliminomethylenylnaphthalen-2-ol derivatives reacted with nickel chloride to form bis(1-aryliminomethylenylnaphthalen-2-oxy)nickel complexes. All resultant compounds were structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR and H NMR, and the structures of the formed complexes were elucidated by X-ray crystal structure analysis. The complexes show high catalytic activities for the vinyl polymerization of norbornene in the presence of methylaluminoxane. The catalytic activity variations have been followed by gas chromatography through monitoring the conversion of norbornene.     

Anionic iron(II) alkoxides as initiators for the controlled ring‐opening polymerization of lactide

Hetero‐bimetallic Fe(II) alkoxide/aryloxides were evaluated as initiators for the ring‐opening polymerization of rac‐lactide. [(THF)NaFe(O^tBu)₃]₂ ( 1 ) and [(THF)₄Na₂Fe(2,6‐diisopropylphenolate)₄] ( 2 ) (THF = tetrahydrofuran) both polymerized lactide efficiently at room temperature, with complex 1 affording better control over the molecular weight parameters of the resultant polymer. At conversions below 70%, a linear increase in molecular weight with conversion was observed, indicative of a well‐controlled polymerization process. Complex 2 is the first example of a dianionic Fe(II) alkoxide and has been structurally characterized to reveal a distorted square planar FeO₄ array in which both Na counterions bridge two aryloxide ligands and are further complexed by two THF ligands. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Förster energy transfer from poly(arylene–ethynylene)s to an erbium–porphyrin complex

We study the infrared emission at 1.54 μm of an organolanthanide complex, Er(III)-tetraphenylporphyrin [Er(TPP)acac], both as a result of direct optical excitation and via energy transfer from host π-conjugate polymers of type poly(arylene–ethynylene) [PAE]. In the first case, the emission of the neat complex is characterized in inert transparent materials and a value of the quantum yield at 1.54 μm φ_IR=4×10⁻⁴ is measured. Then, fluorescence resonance transfer is investigated in blends of Er(TPP)acac with PAEs by monitoring the quenching of the polymer fluorescence along with the enhancement of both the visible emission of the ligand and the near-infrared band of Er³⁺. These different procedures allow a detailed analysis of the transfer efficiency within a specific implementation of the Förster model for polymeric donors. The experimental values of the critical radius R₀, ranging from 1.3 to 2.5 nm for the different blends, are in good agreement with theory for a wide interval of the physical and spectroscopic parameters. This suggests that other mechanisms for excitation transfer do not play a significant role in these materials.     

Self‐assembly of amphiphilic tris(2,2′‐bipyridine)ruthenium‐cored star‐shaped polymers

Amphiphilic tris(2,2′‐bipyridine)ruthenium‐cored star‐shaped polymers consisting of one polystyrene block and two poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) blocks were prepared by the “arm‐first” method in which RAFT polymerization and nonconvalent ligand–metal complexation were employed. The prepared amphiphilic star‐shaped metallopolymers are able to form micelles in water. The size and distribution of the micelles were studied by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Preliminary studies indicate that the polymer concentration and the hydrophilic poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) block length can affect the morphologies of the formed metal‐interfaced core–shell micelles in water. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystallographic report: Diiodo[tris(2‐pyridyl)amine]mercury(II), [(C5H4N)3N]HgI2

In mononuclear HgI₂[(C₅H₄N)₃N], mercury is tetrahedrally coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of a tris(2‐pyridyl)amine ligand and two iodides. The coordination moieties are connected by weak intermolecular Hg(II)···I interactions to give a one‐dimensional structure. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
