Synthesis and crystallographic characterization of a chiral complex of (R)‐2‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylene)amino‐2′‐hydroxy‐1,1′‐binaphthyl(L) with hydrated nickel(II) acetate

A chiral complex of (R)‐2‐((pyridin‐2‐ylmethylene)amino)‐2′‐hydroxy‐1,1′‐binaphthyl ( L ) with hydrated nickel (II) acetate has been synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. The crystal structure of [NiL₂(CH₃OH)(CH₃COO)]CH₃COO·CH₃OH has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.

Crystal structure,thermal and compositional deformations of β‐CsB5O8

The crystal structure of β‐CsB₅O₈ has been determined from X‐ray powder diffraction data using synchrotron radiation: Pbca, a = 7.8131(3) Å, b = 12.0652(4) Å, c = 14.9582(4) Å, Z = 8, ρ_calc = 2.967 g/cm³, R‐p = 0.076, R‐wp = 0.094. β‐CsB₅O₈ was found to be isostructural with β‐KB₅O₈ and β‐RbB₅O₈.

The crystal structure exhibits a highly anisotropic thermal expansion: α_a = 53, α_b = 16, α_c = 14 · 10^‐6/K; the anisotropy may be caused by partial straightening of the screw chains of the pentaborate groups. The similarity of the thermal and compositional (Cs‐Rb‐K substitution) deformations of CsB₅O₈ is revealed: increasing the radius of the metal by 0.01 Å leads to the same deformations of the crystal structure as increasing the temperature by 35°C.

Magneto‐transport properties of polycrystalline YBa2(Cu1‐xMx)3O7‐δ (M = B and Mn)

The magnetic and transport properties of polycrystalline YBa₂ (Cu_1‐xM_x)₃ O_7‐δ (M = B and Mn) superconductor was investigated. Samples of YBa₂(Cu_1‐xB_x)₃O_7‐δ doped with several concentrations of boron B(x = 0.05 and 0.1) were investigated using magnetization measurements. A YBa₂(Cu_1‐xMn_x)₃O_7‐δ sample doped with Mn with concentration of x = 0.02 was investigated using current‐voltage (I‐V) measurements. Our results on the YBa₂(Cu_1‐xB_x)₃O_7‐δ samples reveal a considerable increase in the hysterisis width of the magnetization, M versus the applied magnetic field H with increasing boron concentration. The lower critical field was also found to be enhanced by boron doping. The critical current density, J_c was found to be significantly enhanced in the Mn‐doped sample. The enhancement of J_c was found to be more significant at the lower temperatures for all applied magnetic fields used (0 Oe, 300 Oe, and 500 Oe). Thus, chemical doping is suggested to enhance the vortex pinning forces in the YBCO samples. From the resistivity (R‐T) measurements, chemical doping of the samples was found to have no significant effect on the critical temperature, T_c. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
