Structural,Electronic, and Optical Properties of Hexagonal XC6 (X=N,P, As,and Sb) Monolayers

Based on first-principles calculations, a novel family of two-dimensional (2D) IV–V compounds, XC₆ (X=N, P, As and Sb), is proposed. These compounds exhibit excellent stability, as determined from the cohesive energies, phonon dispersion analysis, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, and mechanical properties. In this type of structure, the carbon atom is sp² hybridized, whereas the X (N, P, As and Sb) atom is nonplanar sp³ hybridized with one 2p_z orbital filled with lone pair electrons. NC₆, PC₆, AsC₆ and SbC₆ monolayers are intrinsic indirect semiconductors with wide bandgaps of 2.02, 2.36, 2.77, and 2.85 eV (based on HSE06 calculations), respectively. After applying mechanical strain, PC₆, AsC₆ and SbC₆ monolayers can be transformed from indirect to direct semiconductors. The appropriate bandgaps and well-located band edge positions make XC₆ monolayers potential materials for photocatalytic water splitting. XC₆ family members also have high absorption coefficients (∼10⁵ cm⁻¹) in the ultraviolet region and higher electron mobilities (∼10³ cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹) than many known 2D semiconductors.     

Hydrophobic and Physical Properties of the Two Step Processed Ambient Pressure Dried Silica Aerogels with Various Exchanging Solvents

The experimental results by using various exchanging solvents in the preparation of two step (acid and base) processed ambient pressure dried hydrophobic silica aerogels, are reported. Silica alcogels were prepared by hydrolysis with oxalic acid and condensation with NH₄OH of ethanol diluted tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) precursor and hexamethyldisilazane(HMDZ) methylating agent. The exchanging solvents used were: hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, benzene, toluene and xylene. The physical properties such as % of volume shrinkage, density, pore volume, % of porosity, thermal conductivity, % of optical transmission, surface area, pore size distribution and contact angle (θ) of the silica aerogels with water, were measured as a function of EtOH/TEOS molar ratios (R) for all the exchanging solvents. It was found that the physical and hydrophobic properties of the silica aerogels strongly depend on the nature of the solvent and R. Heptane solvent resulted in highly transparent (≈90% optical transmission at 700 nm for 1 cm thick sample), low density (≈0.060 g/cm³), low thermal conductive (≈0.070 W/m·K), high % of porosity (97%), high surface area (750 m²/g), uniform porosity and hydrophobic (θ ≈ 160°) aerogels compared to other solvents. On the otherhand, xylene resulted in aerogels with higher hydrophobicity (θ ≈ 172°) among other solvents.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Organosoluble Poly(imide-ether)s with Bulky 2,3-Diaryl Imidazole Moiety: Study Physical,Thermal and Optical Properties

Two new symmetrical diamines were designed and synthesized having different functional groups such as a pair of phenyl ether linkages, 2,3-diaryl substituted imidazole rings and CF₃ groups as pendant, and characterized by FT-IR, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. A series of new fluorescent poly(imide-ether)s (PIEs) was prepared by polymerization of the diamines with commercial tetracarboxylic dianhydrides such as pyromellitic dianhydride and 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride. The resulting PIEs were amorphous and had intrinsic viscosity [η] in the range of 0.42–0.51 dL/g. The weight average molecular weights (Mw) of these polymers were measured by GPC and were in the range of 28658–35595 g/mol with molecular weight distribution (MWD) of 2.12–2.27. These polymers were readily soluble in a variety of organic solvents and formed low-colored and flexible thin films with cut-off wavelength (λ₀) in the range of 385–420 nm, and all PIEs films exhibited high optical transparency. They also possessed good thermal stability with 10% weight loss temperatures (T_10%) in the range 486–537°C in N₂. The glass transition temperatures (T_g) of PIEs are in the range 251–324°C. These polymers showed fluorescence emission in film and in solution at 459–476 nm with the quantum yields in the range 4–12%.

Synthesis,Structures, Thermal and Luminescence Properties of Zn and Cd Halide Coordination Polymers with 2-Cyanopyrazine

Reaction of MX₂ (M = Cd, Zn; X = Cl, Br, I) with 2-cyanopyrazine leads to the formation of compounds with the composition CdX₂(2-cyanopyrazine)₂ (X = Cl; CdCl , X = Br; CdBr and X = I; CdI ) and ZnX₂(2-cyanopyrazine)₂ (X = Cl; ZnCl , X = Br; ZnBr and X = I; ZnI/I ). In the crystal structures of the Cd compounds and in ZnCl , the metal cations are octahedrally coordinated and are linked into chains by the halide anions via common edges. In contrast, in the crystal structures of ZnBr and ZnI/I the metal cations are tetrahedrally coordinated into discrete complexes. Further investigations show that a second modification of ZnCl₂(2-cyanopyrazine)₂ exists ( ZnI/II ), which is formed by kinetic control. The thermal properties of the 2-cyanopyrazine rich compounds were investigated by TG-DTA and temperature dependent XRPD measurements. Upon heating the Cd compounds, all 2-cyanopyrazine ligands are removed in a single step with no indication of the formation of a 2-cyanopyrazine deficient phase. A similar behavior is observed for ZnI , whereas for ZnCl and ZnBr , TG-DTA measurements suggest the formation of a 2-cyanopyrazine deficient phase that, in case of ZnBr , cannot be isolated and, for ZnCl , cannot be obtained pure. The emission of these compounds is shifted from the blue to orange depending on the crystal structure and the nature of the halide anion.

Thermal properties of complexes of lanthanides(III) and some of d-block elements with 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid

The thermal properties of 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoates of lanthanides(III) and Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) were studied in air and nitrogen atmospheres. The complexes were obtained as mono-, di-, tetra- and pentahydrates with a metal to ligand ratio of 1:3 (in the case of lanthanides(III)) and 1:2 (in the case of d-block elements). They have colours typical for Ln³⁺ and M²⁺ ions. All complexes are polycrystalline compounds. When heated they dehydrate to form anhydrous salts which next in air are decomposed to the oxides of the respective metals while in nitrogen to the mixtures of metal oxides, oxychlorides and carbon. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermal Stability of 2,3,4-, 2,4,5- and 3,4,5-tri- Methoxybenzoates of Light Lanthanides

The physico-chemical properties and thermal stability in air of light lanthanide 2,3,4-, 2,4,5- and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoates were compared and the influence of the position of –OCH³ substituent on their thermal stability was investigated. The complexes of these series are crystalline, hydrated or anhydrous salts with colours typical of Ln³⁺ ions. The carboxylate group is a bidentate, chelating ligand. The thermal stability of 2,3,4-, 2,4,5- and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoates of rare earth elements was studied in the temperature range 273–1173 K. The positions of methoxy groups in benzene ring influence the thermal properties of the complexes and their decomposition mechanism. The different thermal properties of the complexes are connected with various influence of inductive and mesomeric effects of –OCH₃ substituent on the electron density in benzene ring. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Structural,Electronic and Optical Properties of Multifunctional Iridium(III) and Platinum(II) Metallophosphors for Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes

An elaborated theoretical investigation on the optical and electronic properties of three fluorene‐based platinum(II) and iridium(III) cyclometalated complexes Pt‐a , Ir‐a and Ir‐b is reported. The geometric and electronic structures of the complexes in the ground state are studied with density functional theory and Hartree Fock approaches, while the lowest triplet excited states are optimized by singles configuration interaction (CIS) methods. At the time‐dependent density functional theory (TD‐DFT) level, molecular absorption and emission properties were calculated on the basis of optimized ground‐ and excited‐state geometries, respectively. The computational results show that the appearance of triphenylamino (TPA) moiety at the 9‐position of fluorene ring favors the hole‐creation and leads to red‐shifts of absorption and emission spectra. Moreover, Pt‐a and Ir‐b are nice hole‐transporting materials whereas Ir‐a has good charge‐transfer balance, which render them useful for the realization of efficient OLEDs (Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes).     

Reactions of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisilazane with dicobalt octacarbonyl and iron pentacarbonyl. Thermal decomposition of the cobalt and iron carbonyl silazane complexes

The reaction of (HMe₂Si)₂NH with Co₂(CO)₈ gives the complex [Co₂(CO)₇(SiMe₂)₂NH₂]⁺[Co(CO)₄]⁻. Its thermal decomposition starts with dissociation into the “acid” HCo(CO)₄ and the “base” Co₂(CO)₇(SiMe₂)₂NH. After that, the base and the initial complex decompose further under the action of HCo(CO)₄. The final products of this reaction are CO, NH₃, Co, volatile dimethylcyclosilazane, and a solid residue consisting of cobalt particles encapsulated into a polymethylsiloxane matrix and possessing properties of mixed para- and ferromagnetics with an ultimate specific magnetization of 64–74 G g⁻¹. Tetramethyldisilazane reacts with iron pentacarbonyl under UV irradiation to give relatively stable 1,3-bis(tetracarbonylthydrideiron)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisilazane. This product contains Fe−H…N hydrogen bonds, which stabilize it against dehydrogenation and cyclization to diironcyclodisilazane. Thermal decomposition of this product was investigated.

Synthesis,Spectral, Thermal and Biological Studies of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) Complexes with 1‐(((5‐Mercapto‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl)imino)‐methyl)naphthalene‐2‐ol

Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 5‐mercapto‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐imine‐2′‐hydroxynaphthaline have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, EI‐mass, UV‐Vis, and ESR (electron spin resonance) spectra, molar conductance, magnetic moment measurements, DC conductivity and thermogravimetric analysis. IR spectra confirm that the ligand molecule existed in both thione and thiole forms. The molar conductance values indicate the complexes are nonelectrolyte. The magnetic moment values of the complexes display paramagnetic behavior. All studies confirm the formation of an octahedral geometry for complex 1 and the other complexes have tetrahedral geometrical structures. The structures of the complexes have also been theoretically studied by using the molecular mechanic calculations by the hyperchem. 8.03 molecular modeling program which confirm the proposed structures. The Schiff‐base ligand and its metal complexes have also been screened for their antimicrobial activities.

Combining chromatography and chemometrics for the characterization and authentication of fats and oils from triacylglycerol compositional data—A review

The characterization and authentication of fats and oils is a subject of great importance for market and health aspects. Identification and quantification of triacylglycerols in fats and oils can be excellent tools for detecting changes in their composition due to the mixtures of these products. Most of the triacylglycerol species present in either fats or oils could be analyzed and identified by chromatographic methods. However, the natural variability of these samples and the possible presence of adulterants require the application of chemometric pattern recognition methods to facilitate the interpretation of the obtained data. In view of the growing interest in this topic, this paper reviews the literature of the application of exploratory and unsupervised/supervised chemometric methods on chromatographic data, using triacylglycerol composition for the characterization and authentication of several foodstuffs such as olive oil, vegetable oils, animal fats, fish oils, milk and dairy products, cocoa and coffee.
