The blocking and structural properties of a Schiff base self-assembled monolayer on the surface of Au(111)

Electrochemistry and in situ electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) were used to study the blocking and structural properties of Shiff base V-ape-V self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on the surface of Au(111) in perchloric acid solution. The complex-plane impedance plots for the SAM covered Au(111) electrodes, with the redox couple of Fe(CN)₆^4–/3– present in solution, exhibit arc shapes, revealing that the electrochemical kinetics were controlled by the electron-transfer step. For bare Au(111), the electrode process was mass transport limited. The molecules adsorb on Au(111) with a flat-lying orientation and form a long-range well-defined adlayer. A new structure of was observed in the double-layer potential region. A structural model is proposed to interpret the molecular registry with Au(111) substrate.     

Long-range magnetic ordering of quasi-one-dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet Sr2Cu(PO4)2

Magnetic properties of quasi-one-dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet Sr₂Cu(PO₄)₂ were investigated by temperature and field dependence of AC susceptibility down to 0.03 K. A sharp peak was observed at on the temperature dependence of AC susceptibility indicating long-range magnetic ordering. Taking into account the exchange constant, (Hamiltonian =J∑S_iS_i+1), the ratio k_BT_N/J is 0.06%. Sr₂Cu(PO₄)₂ is, therefore, one of the best one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet known so far.     

CT、MRI对良恶性甲状腺结节的鉴别价值

本文探讨了计算机断层扫描（CT）、磁共振成像（MRI）对良恶性甲状腺结节的鉴别价值。方法：选取2015年3月至2018年3月本院收治的甲状腺结节患者150例，依据病理结果分为恶性48例、良性102例，所有患者均给予CT、MRI检查，分析CT、MRI对良恶性甲状腺结节的鉴别价值。结果发现，MRI总病灶、形态不规则、边界不清/毛糙、信号/密度不均检出率明显高于CT，MRI钙化灶检出率明显低于CT，差异有统计学意义（P<0.05），CT、MRI淋巴结转移检出率比较，差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）；在鉴别良恶性甲状腺结节的敏感度、特异度、准确度中，CT为79.17%、74.51%、76.00%，MRI为83.33%、80.39%、81.33%，CT联合MRI为95.83%、96.08%、96.00%，CT联合MRI明显高于CT、MRI，差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）。说明CT、MRI可作为鉴别良恶性甲状腺结节的重要方法，CT对钙化灶有较高的分辨能力，MRI对软组织及小病灶有较高的分辨能力，CT联合MRI可有效提高其鉴别价值。     

Synthesis, Characterization, and Physical Properties of Two Trinuclear, Mixed-Valence Species of Type [μ3-OMnIIMnIII 2(O2CCF3)6(R)3] (R=H2O, CH3COOH)

The preparation and characterization of two new mixed-valence, trinuclear species, [Mn₃O(O₂CCF₃)₆(H₂O)₃]CF₃COOH4/3H₂O (1) and [Mn₃O(O₂CCF₃)₆(CH₃COOH)₃] (2), is reported. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P¯1 (No. 2), with the parameters, a=12.3131(9) Å, b=12.4427(9) Å, c=12.965(1) Å, =72.593(4)°, =73.453(5)°, =68.345(4)°, V=1727.2(2) ų, and Z=2. A total of 14060 reflections were collected in the range 1.6827.52°. The final weighted and non-weighted agreement indices, R1=0.0589 and wR2=0.1445 were based on a total of 6953 unique reflections with an R _int value of 0.0542. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group, P2₁/n (No. 14), with the parameters, a=12.876(3) Å, b=12.212(4) Å, c=17.732(4) Å, =100.40(3)°, V=3640.4(1) ų, and Z=4. A total of 32197 reflections were collected in the range 1.7227.13°. The final weighted and non-weighted agreement factors, R1=0.0647 and wR2=0.1609 were based on a total of 8018 unique reflections with an R _int value of 0.0462. An investigation of the physical properties revealed that both compounds display an intermediate ground state of S=3/2 as a consequence of intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling. The magnetic data for compound 1 was best fit to the parameters g=2.09, J=–5.5 cm^–1, J=–3.4 cm^–1, and D _Mn(III)=–4.5 cm^–1; the data for compound 2 was best fit to the parameters g=2.10, J=–2.9 cm^–1, J=–5.5 cm^–1, and D _Mn(III)=–4.5 cm^–1.

The title complex is composed of one [Fe(CN)6]3- anion, three [MnTPP(CH3OH)2] cations and thirteen water molecules, which are connected by multiform hydrogen bonds leading to a 3D supramolecular network structure.

Ab initio study of Rg2I− (Rg = Ar,Kr, Xe)

The equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, and dissociation energies of rare gas iodine clusters Rg₂I^?(Rg = Ar, Kr, Xe) were calculated at the Hartree–Fock (HF), second‐order Møller–Plesset (MP2), the coupled cluster method with single and double excitation and a noniterative correction for triple excitations method [CCSD(T)] levels. The title species have bent C_2v structure of about 60° angle. The electron correlation effects and relativistic effects on the geometry and stability were investigated at CCSD(T) level. Both effects stabilize title species. The calculated electron affinities are in good agreement with the experimental results available. The effect of high angular momentum functions (g and h) was studied. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006     

Adsorption of n-Butanol from Aqueous Solutions on a Bi–Ga Electrode

Curves of the differential capacitance at the Bi–Ga/H₂O interface in 0.05 M Na₂SO₄ solutions with different concentrations of n-C₄H₉OH are obtained by a bridge method at 420 Hz and 32°C. Adsorption parameters of n-C₄H₉OH, determined by a regression analysis of these curves, are compared with relevant data for mercury and partially fused polycrystalline bismuth (pBi). That the adsorption behavior of organic molecules at Hg differs from that at pBi and Bi–Ga is due not to their different hydrophilicity but to a different physical interaction water–electrode. The reason for this phenomenon can be an unequal spread of electron density beyond the ionic cores of Hg and Bi. These notions are corroborated by the fact that the Bi–Ga data fit overall correlation dependence between the electronic capacitance of different electrodes in the absence of a chemisorption interaction metal–water and the adsorbability of the n-C₄H₉OH molecules on them.     

Copper(I) and Gold(I) Complexes with N,N′‐Bis(diphenylphosphino)‐2,6‐diaminopyridine as Ligand: Synthesis and Molecular Structures

Reaction of CuI with 1 or 2 equivalent(s) N,N′‐Bis(diphenylphosphino)‐2,6‐diaminopyridine (BDDP) gives two different complexes, [Cu(I)μ‐(BDDP‐κP,N_py)]₂ ( 1 ) and [Cu(BDDP‐κP,N_py)₂]I ( 2 ), in high yields. The determination of the molecular structure show that both Cu^I atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated, rather than a square‐planar geometry reported for Cr⁰, Ni^II‐BDDP complexes before, which contains a planar tridentate chelate ring system. The introduction of AuCl(tht) (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) into [Cu(BDDP‐κP,N_py)₂]I leads unexpectedly to the formation of a digold complex 2,6‐[(ClAuPh₂P)HN]₂C₅H₃N and dimeric [Cu(I)μ‐(BDDP‐κP,N_py)]₂.     

Diels-Alder reaction of optically active (E)-γ-keto-α,β-unsaturated p-tolylsulfoxides with cyclopentadiene

The Diels-Alder reaction of enantiomerically pure (E)-γ-keto-α,β-unsaturated p-tolylsulphoxides 3 with cyclopentadiene give four easily separable diastereomers. The effect of several Lewis acids on the reaction was studied, finding a high endo selectivity with respect to the carbonyl group and moderate π-diastereoselectivity using BF₃·Et₂O as catalyst. The reactivity of compounds 3 as well as their endo selectivity are both higher than those observed for the corresponding (E)-3-sulfinylacrylates.
