Synthesis and Photochemical Properties of a New Substituted Phenol Covalently Linked to Ruthenium （Ⅱ） Tris-bipyridine Containing Four Ester Groups as Sensitizer

As photosensitizer for solar cell, a new ruthenium (Ⅱ) complex with four ester groups had been synthesized, in which a phenol substituted by {[(2-hydroxy-5-tert-butylbenzyl)(pyridyl-2-methyl)amino]methyl} is covalently linked to ruthenium (Ⅱ) tris-bipyridine. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by NMR and ESI-MS spectra. The electrochemical and photochemical properties were also studied.     

Study on the covalence of Cu and chemical bonding in an inorganic fullerene-like molecule, [CuCl]20[Cp*FeP5]12 [Cu-(CH3CN)+2Cl-]5, by a density functional approach

The electronic structure and chemical bonding in a recently synthesized inorganic fullerene-like molecule, [CuCl]₂₀[Cp*FeP₅]₁₂[Cu-(CH₃CN) ⁺ ₂Cl⁻]₅ has been studied by a density functional approach. Geometrical optimization of the three basic structural units of the molecule is performed with Amsterdam Density Functional Program. The results are in agreement with the experiment. Localized MO’s obtained by Boys-Foster method give a clear picture of the chemical bonding in this molecule. The reason why CuCl can react with Cp*FeP₅ in solvent CH₃CN to form the fullerene-like molecule is explained in terms of the soft-hard Lewis acid base theory and a new concept of covalence.     

Study on the covalence of Cu and chemical bonding in an inorganic fullerene-like molecule, [CuCl]_(20)[Cp~*FeP_5]_(12)[Cu-(CH_3CN)_2~+Cl~-]_5, by a density functional approach

The titled inorganic fullerene-like molecule (hereafter abbreviated as IFM) was recently synthe-sized by Bai et al.[1], which attracts a lot of interests from inorganic and organometallic chemists, and questions are raised for this smart molecule: (ⅰ) Why CuCl can react with Cp*FeP5 in solvent CH3CN to form IFM? (ⅱ) What is the nature of chemical bond-ing? (ⅲ) What is the covalence of Cu in this mole-cule? In this paper we intend to answer these questions in terms of the soft-hard …     

Continuous dependence on modelling for a complex Ginzburg–Landau equation with complex coefficients

Continuous dependence on a modelling parameter is established for solutions of a problem for a complex Ginzburg–Landau equation. A homogenizing boundary condition is also used to discuss the continuous dependence results. We derive a priori estimates that indicate that solutions depend continuously on a parameter in the governing differential equation. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Ground-state complex formation of perylene with pyromellitic dianhydride studied by static fluorescence quenching

The association of complex formation with static quenching in CT systems was investigated. Evaluation of the data made evident that the inner filter effect must be allowed for. Time-resolved and temperature-dependent stationary measurements of fluorescence led to the separation of dynamic and static quenching components. The static quenching constant is discussed with respect to the equilibrium constant of complex formation determined by absorption spectroscopy.

根据松纵坑切梢小蠹的主要生物学特征,通过分析抚育间伐持续控制松纵坑切梢小蠹虫害的机理,应用复杂适应系统(CA S)理论,建立了模拟松纵坑切梢小蠹虫害的一种动态演化数学模型,并讨论了模型的收敛性.然后选用昆明小哨林场为背景,进行了各种抚育间伐决策的仿真,从中优选抚育间伐决策.结果表明:模拟优化方案与实际调查统计分析结果一致:均为弱度间伐与中弱度间伐控制蠹害效果最好.最后通过森林积材量与虫害程度之间的优化,给出了抚育间伐的优化策略.     

Complex Behaviors of a Simple Traffic Model

In this paper, we propose a modified traffic model in which a single car moves through a sequence of traffic lights controlled by a step function instead of a sine function. In contrast to the previous work [Phys. Rev. E 70 (2004)016107], we have investigated in detail the dependence of the behavior on four parameters, ω, α, η, and a1, and given three kinds of bifurcation diagrams, which show three kinds of complex behaviors. We have found that in this model there are chaotic and complex periodic motions, as well as special singularities. We have also analyzed the characteristic of the complex period motion and the essential feature of the singularity.     

Application of x-ray fluorescence analysis to investigation of the composition of gunshot residues

We have used x-ray fluorescence analysis to study the elemental composition of gunshot residues from smooth-bore and rifled-bore guns. We have established that it is possible to differentiate between types of projectiles (jacketed/lead), types of primers (corrosive/noncorrosive), and types of propellant powders (black/smokeless) by analysis of the elemental composition of the gunshot residues. We have shown that the mercury content in gunshot residues on the surface of the object carrying the residues steadily decreases as storage time increases. Despite this fact, mercury can be preserved as a component of gunshot residues on the object (cotton cloth) under room conditions for more than 45 days. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 73, No. 3, pp. 320–325, May–June, 2006.
