Development of the FTIR properties of nano-structure silica gel doped with different rare earth elements,prepared by sol-gel route

Structural characteristics of pure silica gel (silica-xerogel, SiO₂) and silica gel doped with some rare earth elements (REEs) such as, praseodymium Pr³⁺, and Europium Eu³⁺, Erbium Er³⁺ and Holmium Ho³⁺ ions, with different concentrations ranging from 1 up to 6%, in the form of monolith materials were prepared by sol-gel technique, Using tetra-ethoxysilane as precursor materials, which are of particular interest for sol-gel integrated optics applications. Some structural features of sol-gel derived monolith are analyzed, namely the structure of nano-particle momolith samples, based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). We show that the XRD spectra of α-crystobalite are obtained for the pure samples at 1100°C and even by doping with the four REEs ions.     

An efficient aerobic oxidation for p -xylene to p -toluic acid catalyzed by cobalt (II) hydroxamates with benzo-15-crown-5

Cobalt (II) hydroxamates with the benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) pendant have been synthesized and characterized. These complexes were successfully employed to the oxidation of p-xylene to p-toluic acid with air at 110°C under normal atmospheric pressure. The effects of the B15C5 pendant, the length of chain bonding of B15C5 in these complexes and the addition of alkali metal ions on the oxidation for p-xylene are also investigated by the comparison with the crown-free analogue.     

The dehydration behaviour of rare earth complexes ofm-nitrobenzoic acid

Rare earth complexes ofm-nitrobenzoic acid (LnL₃·2H₂O,Ln=La-Lu and Y, except Pm, HL=m-nitrobenzoic acid) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, chemical analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The dehydration behaviour of these complexes was studied in detail by means of TG-DTA and DSC. Dehydration occurs over the temperature range 76–215°C, and the temperature of formation of the anhydrous complexes decreases with increasing atomic number of the rare earth. The activation energies and enthalpy changes for te dehydration were obtained.     

Thermal and spectral properties of some anhydrous and hydrated rare earth hydrazinecarboxylates

The anhydrous rare earth hydrazinecarboxylates, Ln(N₂H₃COO)₃ where Ln=La, Ce, Pr, Nd or Sm and hydrated rare earth hydrazinecarboxylates, Ln(N₂H₃COO)₃(H₂O)₃ where Ln=La or Nd have been prepared and characterized by chemical analyses, infrared spectroscopy and thermal analyses (TG/DTA/DTG). The infrared spectra indicate that the hydrazinecarboxylate group in both the sets of complexes is coordinated in a bidentate (chelate) fashion with the N-N stretching frequency at 980-1000 cm^-1. The thermal analyses of all the complexes show multi-step decomposition. The final product in all the cases is invariably the respective metal oxide carbide, Ln₂O₂C₂, though there are some variations in the decomposition pattern. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Polymerization of styrene catalyzed by rare earth Schiff base complexes

The rare earth Schiff base complex Nd (H₂Salen)₂Cl₃·2C₂H₅OH was synthesized by a simple and convenient method and characterized by IR and elemental analysis. The catalyst system composed of Nd (H₂Salen)₂Cl₃·2C₂H₅OH/Al(i-Bu)₃/CCl₄ is effective for the polymerization of styrene (St). The optimum conditions are as follows: [St]/[Nd] = 1000, [CCl₄]/[Nd] = 9, [Al]/[Nd] = 30, and polymerization at 50°C for 20 h. The resulting polystyrene was characterized by NMR and GPC. The results of NMR show that the polymer obtained had a stereoregularity with 52.3% isotacticity and 47.7% syndiotacticity without any random structure. __________ Translated from Journal of Zhejiang University (Science Edition), 2007, 34(2): 189–196 [译自: 浙江大学学报(理学版)]     

Thermal properties of rare earth elements complexes with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid

Summary Rare earth elements 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylates were prepared as solids of the general formula Ln(C₉H₃O₆)·nH₂O, where n=6 for La-Dy and n=4 for Ho-Lu,Y. Their solubilities in water at 293 K are of the order 10^-4-10^-6 mol dm^-3. The IR spectra of the complexes indicate that the carboxylate groups are bridging and bidentate chelates. Hydrated 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylates lose water molecules during heating in one step (La-Tb), two steps (Y, Ho-Tm) or three steps (Dy, Yb, Lu). The anhydrous complexes are stable up to 573-742 K and decompose to oxides (Ce-Lu) at higher temperatures.

On p -nilpotency and minimal subgroups of finite groups

We call a subgroup H of a finite group G c-supplemented in G if there exists a subgroup K of G such that G = HK and H ∩ K ≤ core(H). In this paper it is proved that a finite group G is p-nilpotent if G is S ₄-free and every minimal subgroup of P ∩ G ^N is c-supplemented in N _G(P), and when p = 2 P is quaternion-free, where p is the smallest prime number dividing the order of G, P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. As some applications of this result, some known results are generalized.

In situ generation of biodegradable poly(p-dioxanone) micro-particles by polymerization in supercritical carbon dioxide

Ring-opening suspension polymerization of p-dioxanone（PDO） in supercritical carbon dioxide（scCO₂） was investigated in the presence of poly（caprolactone）-perfluropolyether-poly（caprolactone）（PCL-PFPE-PCL）.The molecular weight,yield and particle morphology of poly（p-dioxanone）（PPDO） were studied.The stabilizer was effective to stabilize the ring-opening polymerization（ROP） of PDO in scCO₂,leading to the formation of resorbable microparticles in a"one pot"procedure.The mean size of PPDO microparticles obtained from suspension polymerizations was sensitive to the rate of agitation and the stabilizer concentration.The method to generate PPDO microparticles has overcome its unprocessable drawback with common organic solvents and provided new product form for biomedical applications.     

Synthesis and near infrared properties of rare earth ionomers

Fully exchanged, anhydrous ionomers of ethylene-co-acrylic acid (EAA) copolymers and ethylene-co-methacrylic acid (EMAA) copolymers containing Dy⁺³, Er⁺³, Sm⁺³, Tb⁺³, Tm⁺³, and Yb⁺³, and mixtures of them, were synthesized and studied in the near infrared region by reflection and Fourier Transform Laser Raman spectroscopies. The EAA copolymers ranged from 1.4 to 8.7 mol % acid and the EMAA copolymers were 7.3 and 16.2 mol % acid. The ionomers were shown to be essentially free of carboxylic acid groups, water, or other forms containing O (SINGLE BOND) H groups and were characterized by infrared and other methods. They are light and heat stable, and become thermoplastic and moldable at ca. 220°C under pressure. When excited at 1.064 μ with a Nd: YAG laser, these ionomers exhibit novel, lanthanide-dependent near infrared luminescence and strong Raman scattering in the near infrared region. The strongest luminescence is observed with Sm⁺³ ionomers. The Dy⁺³ ionomer Raman-shifts this source to emit light most strongly in the 1.53–1.55 μ range where the ionomer also transmits light well. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis, XRD structure and properties of diaqua(p-toluidine-N,N-di-3-propionato)copper(II) dihydrate [Cu(p-Tdp)(H2O)2]·2H2O

The copper(II) complex [Cu(p-Tdp)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O, where p-Tdp is the anion of p-toluidine-N,N-di-3-propionic acid (or N,N-di(2-carboxyethyl)-p-toluidine), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Three crystallographically independent [Cu(p-Tdp)(H₂O)₂] molecules have a similar structure. The Cu atoms have a square pyramidal environment (4+1) with a small trigonal bipyramidal distortion. The ortho-H atom of the benzene ring blocks up the sixth coordination position of the Cu polyhedron. The basal plane is formed by the donor atoms of the tridentate ligand and by the water molecule (average bond length Cu---N 2.03, Cu---O 1.93, Cu---O_w 2.00 Å), the apex is occupied by another water molecule (Cu---O_w 2.27 Å). The Cu atoms are located 0.20–0.30 Å out of the mean planes of the four basal atoms towards the apical O_w atom. The IR and electronic absorption spectra of p-Tdp and the title compound have been described. UV–Vis reflectance spectra shows that the complex has the same square pyramidal geometry in the crystal state and in solution. The protonation constants of the ligand log K₁=6.87(2), log K₂=3.75(2), log K₃=2.57(2) and stability constants log K_CuH(p-Tdp)=2.13(5), log K_Cu(p-Tdp)=6.38(3) were determined by pH-titration at 25.0 °C and I=0.1 M KNO₃.
