Divalent transition metal complexes of 3,5-pyrazoledicarboxylate

New divalent transition metal 3,5-pyrazoledicarboxylate hydrates of empirical formula Mpz(COO)₂(H₂O)₂, where M=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd (pz(COO)₂=3,5-pyrazoledicarboxylate), metal hydrazine complexes of the type Mpz(COO)₂N₂H₄ where M=Co, Zn or Cd and Mpz(COO)₂nN₂H₄·H₂O, where n=1 for M=Ni and n=0.5 for M=Cu have been prepared and characterized by physico-chemical methods. Electronic spectroscopic data suggest that Co and Ni complexes adopt an octahedral geometry. The IR spectra confirm the presence of unidentate carboxylate anion (Δν=ν_asy(COO^–)–ν_sym(COO^–)>215 cm^–1) in all the complexes and bidentate bridging hydrazine (ν_N–N=985–950 cm^–1) in the metal hydrazine complexes. Both metal carboxylate and metal hydrazine carboxylate complexes undergo endothermic dehydration and/or dehydrazination followed by exothermic decomposition of organic moiety to give the respective metal oxides as the end products except manganese pyrazoledicarboxylate hydrate, which leaves manganese carbonate. X-ray powder diffraction patterns reveal that the metal carboxylate hydrates are isomorphous as are those of metal hydrazine complexes of cobalt, zinc and cadmium.

Preparation and application of Ce-doped mesoporous TiO2oxide

Summary Mesoporous TiO₂-CeO₂mixed oxides (m-TiO₂-CeO₂) were synthesized under easy-operating neutral conditions. The structure was characterized by means of FT-IR, XRD, and N₂adsorption methods. For methanol decomposition to CO and H₂, the catalytic activity of the Ru/ m-TiO₂-CeO₂ catalyst was higher than that of the Ru/ m-TiO₂.</o:p>     

Decomposition of halogenated hydrocarbons using intense, penetrating bremsstrahlung

Radiolytic decomposition of chlorinated hydrocarbons and other toxic compounds has been experimentally measured using ionizing radiation produced by electron accelerator and nuclear isotope sources. Decomposition products have been identified. A portable, commercially available electron accelerator was set up at a Superfund site where vapor extraction wells were removing trichloroethylene (TCE) from a spill into the unsaturated soil. The extraction vapor was passed through the accelerator beam to decompose the TCE. On site radiolytic decomposition of TCE vapor using an accelerator is shown to be significantly less expensive than filtration of TCE vapor using activated charcoal.     

Synthesis and thermal decomposition of cobalt-containing oligosilanes

Oligo(phenylcobaltcarbonylsilane) was prepared from oligo(phenylsilane) and dicobalt octacarbonyl. The reaction proceeds with elimination of H₂ and CO and insertion of cobalt carbonyl fragments into the silicone backbone of oligosilane. Oligosilane containing cobalt carbonyl groups in side organic substituents was obtained from oligolmethyl(phenylethynyl)Isilane and CO₂(CO)₈. The reaction of 1,2-bis(phenylethyny1)tetramethyldisilane with Co₂(CO)₈ proceeds with the sequential attachment of cobalt carbonyl fragments to ethynyl groups to form disilane derivatives [²-CCPhCo₂(CO)₆] Thermal decomposition of cobalt-containing oligosilanes affords a mixture of paramagnets and ferromagnets.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Energy decomposition in molecular complexes: implications for the treatment of polarization in molecular simulations

This study examines the contribution of electrostatic and polarization to the interaction energy in a variety of molecular complexes. The results obtained from the Kitaura-Morokuma (KM) energy decomposition analysis at the HF/6-31G(d) level indicate that, for intermolecular distances around the equilibrium geometries, the polarization energy can be determined as the addition of the polarization energies of interacting blocks, as the mixed polarization term is typically negligible. Comparison of KM and QM/MM results shows that the electrostatic energy determined in the KM method is underestimated (in absolute value) by QM/MM methods. The reason of such underestimation can be attributed to the simplified representation of treating the interaction between overlapping charge distribution by the interaction of a QM molecule with a set of point charges. Nevertheless, the polarization energies calculated by KM and QM/MM methods are in close agreement. Finally, a consistent, automated strategy to derive charge distributions that include implicitly polarization effects in pairwise, additive force fields is presented. The strategy relies in the simultaneous fitting of electrostatic and polarization energies computed by placing a suitable perturbing particle at selected points around the molecule. The suitability of these charges to describe molecular interactions is discussed.

An investigation of dynamic mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of housing materials for outdoor polymeric insulators

The present paper reports the results about a study of mechanical, thermal, dynamic mechanical and electrical properties of housing (weather shed) materials for outdoor polymeric insulators. Silicone rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) and alloys of silicon-EPDM are known polymers for use as housing in high voltage insulators. The result of dynamical mechanical measurement shows that the storage modulus of blends enhances with increase EPDM in formulation. It can be seen from the result of TGA measurement that initial thermal degradation of silicone rubber improves by the effect of EPDM in blends. The blends of silicone-EPDM show good breakdown voltage strength compared to silicone rubber. Surface and volume resistance of silicone rubber improve by EPDM content. The mechanical properties of EPDM such as strength, modulus and elongation at break improve by silicone.
