Novel Photoinitiated Synthesis, Characterization, Thermal Kinetics, and Mechanism of Complex of Potassium Hexacyanoferrate with Imidazole

Photoinitiated substitution complex of [Fe(CN)6]4- with imidazole has been synthesized and characterized. On the basis of elemental analysis, the empirical molecular formula of the complex is K4[Fe(CN)5(C3H4N2)]·4H2O. The substitution of aquo ligand produced as a result of photoexcitation by imidazole has been confirmed by various spectroscopic thechniques like UV-Vis, FTIR, NMR, and SEM techniques. The characteristic FTIR and NMR ab- sorption peaks for different entities present support the assigned formul...     

Bicross-Product Structure of Affine Quantum Groups

We show that the affine quantum group is isomorphic to a bicross-product central extension of the quantum loop group by a quantum cocycle in R-matrix form.
