Electrosynthesis and characterization of [Cu(Taab)(H2O)2](L)2 non-crystalline thin films

Molecular-material thin films of diaqua tetrabenzo (b,f,j,n) {1,5,9,13} tetraazacyclohexadecine copper (II) bisanthraflavates and base organic molecules L have been electrodeposited on Corning 7059 glass slices, quartz substrates with tin oxide film and (100) single-crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers. The surface morphology and structure of the deposited films were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy-dispersive spectrophotometry (EDS), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies. The IR-spectra show that compounds obtained by chemical synthesis have the same absorption bands as the amorphous thin films obtained by electrosynthesis. The conductivities and the electrical-conduction mechanisms in the thin films were also investigated. Cubic nonlinear optical (NLO) characterizations of the film samples were performed with the Z-Scan technique, with some samples exhibiting remarkably high nonlinear activity.

Effect of the number of defect density waves on the dynamics of the soliton system in [N(CH3)4]2CuCl4 and [N(CH3)4]2Zn0.98Ni0.02Cl4 crystals

The time dependences of the birefringence and thermal conductivity of [N(CH₃)₄]₂CuCl₄ and [N(CH₃)₄]₂Zn_0.98Ni_0.02Cl₄ crystals in the incommensurate phase at a constant temperature have been studied.

The Structure and Fluorescence Property of a 3D Supramolecular Network [Cd2(2-mBIM)2Cl2(C4H4O4)(H2O)2(H2O)]n

Abstract  

A cadmium(II) coordination polymer [Cd₂(2-mBIM)₂Cl₂(C₄H₄O₄)(H₂O)₂(H₂O)] _n (1) (wherein 2-mBIM = bis(2-methylimidazo-1-yl) methane, C₄H₄O₄ = succinate anion) has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 23.5265(15) ?, b = 7.3558(5) ?, c = 17.4771(11) ?, β = 90.3560(10)°, V = 3024.5(3) ?³, Z = 4. Each Cd(II) atom is octahedrally coordinated and connected with two adjacent Cd(II) atoms by two individual 2-mBIM ligands in a trans-configuration to form one-dimensional (1D) helical structure. Such 1D helical chain structures were connected to each other via the succinate anion ligands and result in the formation of a two-dimensional (2D) framework. Meanwhile, an overall three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular network was formed via the weak hydrogen bond interactions between metal-coordination and free water molecules.     

A Novel 1:1 Co-Crystal of Bis(1,10-Phenanthroline)(1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-Dione)Nickel(II) Hexafluorophosphate and Tris(1,10-Phenanthroline)Nickel(II) Hexafluorophosphate Complexes, [Ni(phen)2(phen-dione)] [Ni(phen)3] (PF6)4

Abstract  

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether co-crystals form by simply mixing pure solutions of [Ni(phen)₃](PF₆)₂ and [Ni(phen)₂(phen-dione)](PF₆)₂ where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and phen-dione is 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione. The 1:1 cocrystal, [Ni(phen)₂(phen-dione)][Ni(phen)₃](PF₆)₄·CH₃CN has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, paramagnetic NMR, and UV–vis spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry, and single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The title complex crystallized in triclinic crystal system (z = 2) with space group of Pī, a = 13.201(2) ?, b = 14.782(3) ?, c = 22.294(4) ?, α = 81.575(15)^o, β = 88.756(15)^o, γ = 88.032(15)^o and V = 4300.1(14) ?³. A careful inspection of the packing pattern in the lattice reveals that non-covalent interactions of three different types, viz. C–H···F, C=O···H−C and C−H···π interactions, are active in the lattice. The coordination around the Ni(II) centers is a distorted octahedral, with bite angles of 78.3−79.8^o for the chelating phen and phen-dione ligands. Cyclic voltammetry of this co-crystal shows that the Ni(III/II) couple is quasi-reversible. The effective magnetic moment (μ_eff) of the co-crystal was measured to be 2.87 BM per Ni(II) ion by Evans method. The magnitude of μ_eff is consistent with magnetic moment for octahedral Ni(II) complexes.     

Crystal structure of a new basic nitrate of neodymium(III), [Nd6O(OH)8(H2O)14(NO3)6](NO3)2 · 2H2O

A new basic Nd³⁺ nitrate, [Nd₆O(OH)₈(H₂O)₁₄(NO₃)₆](NO₃)₂ · 2H₂O (I), is isolated in the crystal form and studied. Compound I differs from the basic Ln nitrates containing [Ln ₆O(OH)₈] clusters in that it involves a larger number of water molecules. The incorporation of additional water molecules is accompanied by changes in the coordination environment of one of the three crystallographically independent Nd³⁺ cations. Two cations have coordination polyhedra in the form of a monocapped tetragonal antiprism with a coordination number of 9, and the third cation has a polyhedron in the form of a bicapped tetragonal antiprism with a coordination number of 10.

Single crystals of PbUO₂(CH₃COO)₄(H₂O)₃ have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (R = 0.029 for 3175 reflections). The structure of this compound is formed by [Pb(CH₃COO)(H₂O)₃]⁺ chains, which are oriented along the [100] axis and limited by one-core complexes [UO2(CH₃COO)₃]⁻. The coordination numbers of the Pb(II) and U(VI) atoms are 8, and the coordination polyhedron of uranium is a hexagonal bipyramid whose vertices contain oxygen atoms of three bidentate cyclic acetate groups and the uranyl group. Taking into account the different crystallographic roles of acetate ions, the crystal-chemical formula of [PbUO₂(CH₃COO)₄(H₂O)₃] chains can be written as AA′B ²¹ B ¹¹(B ⁰¹)₂ M ₃¹, where A = Pb; A′ = UO₂²⁺; M ¹ = H₂O; and B ²¹, B ¹¹, and B ⁰¹ are CH₃COO⁻ groups.

Sodium tracer diffusion in glasses of the type (Na2O)0.2[(BO1.5)x(SiO2)1 − x]0.8

Sodium tracer diffusion coefficients, D_Na*, have been measured in sodium borosilicate glasses of the type (Na₂O)_0.2[(BO_1.5)_x(SiO₂)_1 − x]_0.8 as a function of temperature and the composition parameter x. In these glasses, which can alternatively also be described by using the formula Na₂O·(2B₂O₃)_x·(4SiO₂)_1 − x, one network former unit, SiO₂, is replaced by another one, BO_1.5, while keeping the sodium concentration constant. At constant temperature, the tracer diffusion coefficient of sodium as a function of x has a shallow minimum at about x = 0.7. At temperatures below about 310 °C the temperature dependences of the measured tracer diffusion coefficients are of Arrhenius-type; at higher temperatures one observes an increase in the temperature dependence with increasing temperature. The activation energy derived from sodium tracer diffusion data for temperatures up to about 310 °C increases about linearly with increasing x from about 70 to 80 kJ/mol. The pre-exponential factor as a function of x varies by about one order of magnitude and has a minimum at about x = 0.4. Values derived for the Haven-ratio are smaller than one and show a shallow minimum as a function of x at around x = 0.75. Furthermore, it was investigated whether there is a significant, directly measurable uptake of water during annealing in moist atmospheres and whether water taken up from moist atmospheres can influence the diffusion of sodium.

The electrode material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrical conductivity and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photoelectrochemical property of lithium based mixed tungstates of Pb(II) is a good choice as photoanode in a PEC cell because of its 2.75 eV band-gap. The Flat - band potential is located at −0.15 Vs SCE. The conversion efficiency was found to be 0.41%.

Abstract  A novel binuclear Smarium (III) complex with N-(2-propionic acid)-salicyloyl hydrazone (C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₄, H₃L) was prepared and characterized. The crystal structure of [Sm₂(H₂L)₂(HL)₂(H₂O)₄] (1) was determined by X-ray single crystal diffractometry. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic systerm, space group P2(1)/c, with a = 0.10229(2), c = 31.549(7), b = 0.70599(15) nm, and Z = 4. In the structure, Sm(III) is nine-coordinated by carboxyl O and acyl O atoms and imido N atoms of two ligands (H₂L and HL forms) and O atoms from two water molecules. H₂L and HL act as tridentate ligands which form two stable five-numbered chelating rings sharing one edge in the keto form for each ligand, and the carboxyl groups of two ligands were coordinated via bidentated bridging form. The coordination polyhedron around Sm (III) was described as a monocapped square antiprism. The inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds resulted in a three-dimensional network and provided extra stability for the structure. The complex was researched the interaction with calf thymus DNA by electronic absorption titration and emission titration. The results show that the complex is bound to calf thymus DNA mainly by intercalation .The complex also shows good fluorescence property.
