Spherical Particles of Zirconia-Titania of Hexagonal Structure from a Neutral Amine Route

Through the sol–gel process, using the so-called neutral amine route, spherical particles of 1:1 zirconia–titania were synthesized from zirconium(IV) and titanium(IV) butoxides as well as 1,12-diaminododecane as precursor species. The obtained product exhibited a hexagonal structure, as determinated by X-ray diffraction data. The obtained material was also characterized by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and surface area measurements. Despite the release of template molecules on heating, the spherical morphology was retained up to about 1200°C, at which the disruption of the spheres took place.     

Effects of Adsorbed Polyaniline on Redox Process on MoO3 Surface

The effects exhibited by adsorbed conducting polyaniline on the redox process on a molybdenum oxide surface were studied. Thermogravimetric results indicate a 4% polyaniline deposition. Cyclic voltammograms of the adsorbed polymer on MoO3 show that polyaniline exerts remarkable effects on the molybdenum blue oxidation-reduction process, with oxidation and reduction potentials of 0.33 and 0.18 V, respectively. This effect strongly enhances the electrode response, and can be used as an important tool in qualitative and/or quantitative determinations of molybdenum in solution as well as in any substrate.

High-Resolution Fourier Transform Study of MgCl: The AΠ-XΣ Band System

The A²Π-X²Σ⁺ emission band system of the MgCl molecule has been studied by means of high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy. Excited MgCl molecules were produced by two different techniques: (i) at Orsay, they were created by mixing Mg vapor with a flow of He/Cl₂ and excited in a “heated” Schüller-type discharge tube, and (ii) at Waterloo, they were generated by using a copper hollow cathode lamp loaded with MgCl₂ powder. Rovibronic analysis of the (0, 0) and (0, 1) bands was performed. Molecular constants were derived in a weighted nonlinear least squares fit, including both the new line positions and the previously published microwave frequencies (M. Bogey, C. Demuynck, and J. L. Destombes, Chem. Phys. Lett.155, 265 (1989); Y. Ohshima and Y. Endo, Chem. Phys. Lett.213, 95 (1993)).     

High-Resolution Study of the BaI A(2)Pi Electronic State

Near-infrared and visible spectra of the A(2)Pi-X(2)Sigma(+), C(2)Pi(1/2)-A(2)Pi(1/2), C(2)Pi(1/2)-B(2)Sigma(+), and C(2)Pi(1/2)-X(2)Sigma(+) band systems of the BaI molecule were recorded by using Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS). The spectra were produced from the chemiluminescent reaction Ba + I(2) and also by using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique in which the laser sources were a Ti:sapphire single-mode laser, a dye single-mode laser, and a Kr(+) multimode ion laser.

Effects of Adsorbed Polyaniline on Redox Processes on As(2)O(3) Surfaces

Polyaniline deposited on As(2)O(3) surface resulted in a new material, which was characterized by infrared spectoscopy, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and cyclic voltammetry. The mass percentage of polymer deposited on oxide surface is approximately 13%. The scanning electron microscopy images as well as the X-ray diffraction patterns provided conclusive evidence that the oxide surface is coated by the polymer. The cyclic voltammograms of the polyaniline adsorbed on As(2)O(3) surface showed that the adsorbate exerts remarkable effects on redox processes on this oxide. The pure oxide exhibited two oxidation/reduction peaks at 0.25/-0.06 and 0.47/-0.25 V attributed tentatively to the processes As(2)O(3)(s)+6H(+)+6e(-)=2As(s)+3H(2)O and As(s)+3H(+)+3e(-)=AsH(3)(g), respectively. The polyaniline-coated sample exhibited a better-defined voltammogram in which the first oxidation peak of the oxide had its intensity increased about four times. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

C-H-pi interactions in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetraphenylborate molten salt: solid and solution structures

The crystal structure of 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetraphenylborate molten salt (1) shows C-H-pi interactions between the hydrogens of the imidazolium cation and the phenyl rings of the tetraphenylborate anion. The imidazolium ring is surrounded by three tetraphenylborate anions that are connected with the same cation by C-H-pi (phenyl rings) interactions. The nearest inter-ion interaction is found between the N-CH-N proton of the cation and the B-phenyl centroid (2.349 A) with a nearly T-shaped geometry. The inter-ionic solution structure of 1 has been investigated by the detection of inter-ionic contacts in 1H NOESY NMR spectra between the protons of the cation and the anion. The 1H-NMR spectra of molten salt 1 is almost independent of its concentration in [D6]DMSO solution, the imidazolium proton chemical shifts are in the expected region and there are no observable NOE effects between the protons of the cation with those of the anion, indicating that 1 behaves in [D6]DMSO as a solvent-separated ion pair. In CDCl3 the 1H-NMR spectra of 1 are concentration dependent and all the imidazolium protons are shielded as compared with those observed in [D6]DMSO. Moreover, the 1H NOESY NMR spectra show all the peaks affected by the interaction between the protons of the imidazolium cation and those of the anion, indicating that in CDCl3 1 possesses a contact ion pair structure. The NCHN proton of the cation exhibits the greatest shielding (up to -4.5 ppm). an indication of the existence of C-H-pi interactions, even in solution. The calculated distance of this proton to the phenyl centroid is 2.3 A for a C-H -pi angle of 180 degrees. The apparent volumes for the cation and anion, calculated from the measured 13C-NMR relaxation times, increase from 38 and 140 A3 in [D6]DMSO to 360 and 600 A3 in CDCl3, respectively; this indicates the formation of floating aggregates of the type (1)(n) in CDCl3 via weak hydrogen bonds, with increasing concentration.     

High-Resolution Study of the BaI AΠ Electronic State

Near-infrared and visible spectra of the A²Π–X²Σ⁺, C²Π_1/2–A²Π_1/2, C²Π_1/2–B²Σ⁺, and C²Π_1/2–X²Σ⁺ band systems of the BaI molecule were recorded by using Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS). The spectra were produced from the chemiluminescent reaction Ba + I₂ and also by using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique in which the laser sources were a Ti:sapphire single-mode laser, a dye single-mode laser, and a Kr⁺ multimode ion laser. Resolved rotational data, originating from 19 vibrational levels (0 ≤ v ≤ 5 and 7 ≤ v ≤ 19) of the A²Π state, 24 vibrational levels (0 ≤ v ≤ 18 and 20 ≤ v ≤ 24) of the X²Σ⁺ state, and 8 vibrational levels (1 ≤ v ≤ 2 and 9 ≤ v ≤ 14) of the C²Π state, were used in the final analysis. Previously recorded data for the B²Σ⁺–X²Σ⁺ and C²Π–X²Σ⁺ systems, taken from R. F. Gutterres, J. Vergès, and C. Amiot, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 196, 29–44 (1999) and from C. A. Leach, A. A. Tsekouras, and R. N. Zare, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 153, 59–72 (1992), were added to the present work data field. Accurate and improved molecular constants, for the X²Σ⁺, B²Σ⁺, A²Π, and C²Π states, were derived from a simultaneous treatment of the whole data set.
