Synthesis of hindered hydrazones and their reaction with thionyl chloride

Hydrazones 12a–c and ketazines 13a–c were prepared by the reaction of ketones 11a–c with hydrazine hydrate depending on the temperature and the reaction time. Some ketone (aryl)hydrazone derivatives 14a,c,e reacted with thionyl chloride to afford the chlorothiadiazoline derivatives 15a–c . Surprisingly, the chlorine atom in the latter compounds was found to undergo smooth nucleophilic substitution, and by boiling these compounds in absolute ethanol gave the corresponding ethoxythiadiazoline derivatives 16a–c . The structure of the ethoxythiadiazoline 16b was confirmed by single crystal X‐ray determination. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Development of a PIXE method at high energy with the ARRONAX cyclotron

The high energy PIXE (HEPIXE) method is a multi-elemental non-destructive ion beam analysis technique. It is based on the detection of the X-ray emitted due to the interaction of high energy particle beam with a sample. This technique is fast and allows the analysis of heavy and medium elements in thin (μm), thick (mm) and multilayer samples. At the ARRONAX facility (Nantes, France), the HEPIXE method has been used to determine the composition of natural and synthetic sodalites. Photochromic properties of these samples are supposed to come from the trace elements (concentration in the ppm range) present in the samples. Taking advantage of the 70 MeV proton beam available at our facility, the HEPIXE method has been also used to study multilayer samples. It has been shown that it is possible to determine the composition of each layer, their thicknesses and their depth position by analyzing the recorded X-ray spectra.     

Synthesis and performance of electroless Ni–P–TiCN composite coatings on Al substrate

Electroless Ni–P and Ni–P–TiCN composite coatings have been deposited successfully on Al substrates. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X‐ray (EDX) techniques were applied to study the surface morphology and the chemical composition of the deposited films. Moreover, X‐ray diffraction (XRD) proved that Ni–P and Ni–P–TiCN deposits have amorphous structures. The properties of Ni–P–TiCN/Al composite films such as hardness, corrosion resistance and electrocatalytic activity were examined and compared with that of Ni–P/Al film. The results of hardness measurements reveal that the presence of TiCN particles with Ni–P matrix improves its hardness. Additionally, the performance against corrosion was examined using Tafel lines and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques in both of 0.6 M NaCl and a mixture of 0.5 M H₂SO₄ with 2 ppm HF solutions. The results indicate that the incorporation of high dispersed TiCN particles into Ni–P matrix led to a positive shift of the corrosion potential and an increase in the corrosion resistance for all aluminum substrates after their coating with Ni–P–TiCN. In addition, Ni–P–TiCN/Al electrodes showed a higher electrochemical catalytic activity and stability toward methanol oxidation in 0.5 M NaOH solution compared with that of Ni–P/Al.
