Copper phosphonates with dinuclear and layer structures: a structural and magnetic study

Hydrothermal reactions of copper (II) nitrate with 1-hydroxycyclohexanephosphonic acid [C₆H₁₀(OH)PO₃H₂] or Δ¹-cyclohexenephosphonic acid [C₆H₉PO₃H₂] have resulted in three new copper phosphonates, namely, Cu(C₆H₁₀(OH)PO₃)(H₂O)₂ (1), Cu(C₆H₁₀(OH)PO₃) (2) and Cu(C₆H₉PO₃)(H₂O) (3). Compound 1 has a dinuclear structure in which two {CuO₅} square pyramids are bridged by two {CPO₃} tetrahedra through corner sharing. The dimers are connected through intermolecular hydrogen bonds, forming supramolecular layers. Both compounds 2 and 3 show layer structures typical for metal mono-phosphonates, in which the inorganic metal-containing layers are separated by cyclohexane or cyclohexene groups. The magnetic studies show that ferromagnetic interactions are mediated between copper centers in compound 1. In compounds 2 and 3, antiferromagnetic interactions are dominant.     

Preparation and characterization of NiFe bimetallic micro-particles and its composite with silica shell

Magnetic NiFe particles were synthesized through hydrothermal method using hydrazine as reductant. Composite particles with core-shell structure were further achieved by depositing silicon dioxide generated via carbonation decomposition of sodium silicate solution on the surface of magnetic cores. Characterized by XRD, the Ni₉Fe particles are of fcc-type structure, and the structure of magnetic cores in composite particles was maintained despite being covered by SiO₂ shell. The existence of SiO₂ shells in the composite particles were demonstrated by SEM, EDS and IR. The results from TG and VSM indicated that the shell structure affected the physiochemical properties. The composite particles exhibited remarkable resistance to oxidation in comparison with Ni₉Fe particles due to being protected by SiO₂ shell. Meanwhile, both of them are soft magnetic materials, but Ms, Mr and Hc in Ni₉[email protected]₂ particle decreased compared with magnetic NiFe particles. The formation mechanisms of Ni₉Fe micro-particles and composite Ni₉Fe particles were discussed.     

Polynuclear manganese grids and clusters—A magnetic perspective

High nuclearity paramagnetic, spin-coupled transition metal clusters and grids are fascinating chemists and physicists partly because of their structural beauty, and the challenge of creating them, but also because of their novel physical properties. Magnetic interactions between the spin centers are a primary focus. This review will examine a selection of Mn(II) polynuclear grids and clusters, with nuclearities in the range Mn₄ to Mn₉. Theoretical treatments of the magnetic properties are discussed, and approaches to solving the exchange problem for ‘large’ spin systems related to computational difficulties. A freely available software package (MAGMUN4.1) is presented as a means of dealing simply with spin-coupled clusters in general, and symmetry reduction methods are discussed briefly as a means of dealing with ‘large’ spin systems.

THE EFEFCT OF MAGNETIC FIELD ON POLYMERIZATION OF STYRENE IN THE PRESENCE OF POLYVINYL NAPHTHALENE AND POLYVINYL BENZOPHENONE

In the process of bulk photopolymerization of styrene initiated by AIBN decomposition polyvinyl benzophenone (PVB) can supply an effective cage for triplet-triplet energy transfer between PVB macromolecules and small molecules of AIBN to influence the molecular weight of polystyrene in weak magnetic field (less than 0.035T), that was different from the case of polyvinyl naphthalene (PVN) which supplied cages for this system only in the stronger magnetic field (more than 0.2 T) studies. It was found that in the same conditions, PVN could exert more tremendous influences on the bulk photopolymerizatiou system of styrene than PVB because in the stronger magnetic field the triplet PVN had much longer life time than PVB.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Magnetic Properties of New Dinuclear Copper(II) Complexes with N,N′‐Disubstituted Dithiooxamides derived from α‐Amino Acids

Four new dinuclear copper(II) complexes have been synthesized and have the general formula [Cu₂(L)(H₂O)₂], where L = GLYDTO [N,N′‐bis(carboxymethyl)dithiooxamide], ALADTO [N,N′‐bis(carboxyethyl)dithiooxamide], VALDTO [N,N′‐bis(1‐carboxy‐2‐methylpropyl)dithiooxamide] and LEUDTO [N,N′‐bis(1‐carboxy‐3‐methylbutyl)dithiooxamide]. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis as well as by IR, electronic and EPR spectroscopy. These techniques provided evidence for the presence of the CuNO₂S chromophore. Magnetic susceptibility measurements on all the complexes in the range 4–300 K show the existence of a dominant antiferromagnetic interaction with ?J values greater than 300 cm^?1. Thermal decomposition behaviour of the complexes was studied by thermogravimetry.     

XPS分析中使用样品磁透镜引起的谱峰位移和峰形畸变

发现当使用Mg/Al双阳极和样品磁透镜进行非导电样品（或与样品托绝缘的导电样品）的X射线光电子能谱分析时，谱峰出现异常大的位移和谱形出现畸变；在同时使用电子中和枪时谱峰位移变小，当导电样品与样品托有良好的电接触时谱峰位移消失；作者提出这种异常大的位移来自样品荷电效应，后者是由于样品磁透镜的磁场与来自X射线枪A1窗的低能杂散电子发生了相互作用并使这些杂散电子不能到达样品表面起中和作用所致。

Non empirical quantum mechanical calculations of the1H,13C,15N and17O magnetic shielding constants and of the spin-spin coupling constants in formamide,hydrated formamide and N-methylformamide

The magnetic shielding constants of the different atoms of formamide, hydrated formamide and N-methylformamide are calculated by anab initio method. For the protons of formamide the measured differences between their chemical shifts are correctly reproduced by theory, provided that the molecular geometry used as input is carefully chosen. The differences between the values of the magnetic shielding constants calculated for formamide and hydrated formamide show that intermolecular hydrogen bonding produces variations of chemical shifts for all the atoms of the molecule except the formyl proton. The calculated chemical shift variations between formamide and N-methylformamide are compared to the experimental values and discussed in relation with different hydrogen bonding possibilities of the two molecules. The calculation of the contact term of the spin-spin coupling constants of formamide and hydrated formamide shows that in most cases the measured trends are satisfactorily reproduced and that the variations of these terms upon hydration are less than 3%.     

Magnetic Orbitals and Mechanisms of Exchange I. Direct Exchange

Summary. The problem of direct exchange is examined in the simplest cases (formal coupling of two electrons initially isolated and hydrogen molecule). Then we consider the general case of a solid characterized by weak overlaps between the atomic orbitals of first-nearest neighbours so that the involved electrons are quasi-localized. We recall the physical origin of spin-orbit coupling. Its influence on direct exchange allows one to revisit Hunds rules and to express phenomenological Hamiltonians describing anisotropic couplings as well as the antisymmetrical Dzialoshinski-Moriya coupling.
