A new high-spin isomer in 39 97 Y58

An isomeric state at 3,523 keV excitation energy in⁹⁷Y with a half-life of 144(10) ms has been discovered with the fission-product separator JOSEF. This isomer is depopulated through aγ transition of 162 keV. AnE3 multipolarity for this transition is consistent with the measured conversion coefficients ofα _K =0.98(20) andα _T =1.00(19). Subsequent electromagnetic transitions populate several new⁹⁷Y levels which have high spins. For the isomer the three-quasiparticle configuration [πg _9/2?ν(h _11/2,g _7/2)]27/2^? is proposed. TheE3 transition with a strength about 2 single-particle units is supposed to be of the typeh ₁₁ ^2/+1 →d ₅ ^2/?1 . These findings provide evidence for the rapid shape transition atA?100 since they indicate shell-model character of ₃₉ ⁹⁷ Y₅₈ even at high excitation energies while the immediate neighbour ₃₉ ⁹⁸ Y₅₉ contains a rotational band based on a level at 495 keV.     

Physikalische und spektroskopische daten von trifluormethylselenol und derivaten

The characterization of the compounds CF₃SeX (X = H, Cl, Br, CN, CF₃, SeCF₃) is completed by the report of melting points, boiling points, enthalpies of vaporization and entropies of vaporization. Ultraviolet and mass spectra are presented and discussed. An improved synthesis for CF₃SeH is reported.

The molecular structure of tetrathiofulvalene-13C (TTF) from proton magnetic resonance studies using nematic solvents

The molecular structure of TTF dissolved in nematic liquid crystalline solvents has been determined from the proton magnetic resonance including couplings due to ¹³C in natural abundance. The molecule is puckered in a boat conformation with the SCHCHS planes making a dihedral angle of 13 ± 2° with the S₂C  CS₂ plane. The other structural parameters obtained are r_CH = 1.085 ± 0.014 Å and the angel CCH = 123.7 ± 1.5°.     

Mössbauer studies on the series La1-xSrxFeO3

Mössbauer spectra have been recorded at 4.2 and 300 K on the series La_1–x Sr _x FeO₃, wherex varies from 0 to 1.0 in steps of 0.1. Neutron diffraction experiments have shown that the crystal structure is orthorhombic for 0x<0.3, rhombohedral for 0.4x0.7, and cubic for 0.8<x1.0. Mössbauer spectra at 4.2 K are composed of magnetic sextet components arising from different charge states of iron ions. In the orthorhombic and rhombohedral phases, the charge states Fe³⁺ and Fe⁵⁺ coexist. In the cubic phase, iron is present as Fe³⁺ and Fe⁴⁺ states. At 300 K, the samples are magnetically ordered in the range 0 x0.3 and the coexistence of Fe³⁺ and Fe⁵⁺ remains. For samples 0.4x1.0, the samples are paramagnetic. Fits to these spectra require two components, one corresponding to an Fe⁴⁺ state, the other being best described as an Fe³⁺ ion forx0.7 but forx>0.7 having a mean charge state which increases to 3.5 forx=1.0.     

Preparation,properties and x-ray crystal structure of a complex of bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium iodide with 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-P-quinodimethane: (PPN)2(TCNQ)3(CH3CN)2

Bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium iodide (PPN⁺I^?) forms a 2:3 complex with TCNQ [(PPN)₂(TCNQ)₃(CH₃CN)₂] that provides an example of a TCNQ complex containing acetonitrile in the crystal lattice; the material is a semi-conductor with trimerised TCNQ stacks.
