The inclusion behavior of benzo-15-crown-5 with hydrated transition metal picrates

Six kinds of benzo-15-crown-5 (L) adducts having the stoichiometric formula M(Pic)₂ · L · xH₂O (M=Mn, Cu, x=2; M=Co, Ni, Zn, Cd, x=4; Pic means picrate anion) have been synthesized and characterized by EA, IR, UV and molar conductance. The X-ray crystal structural analysis of the benzo-15-crown-5 adduct with hydrated copper(II) picrate revealed that the benzo-15-crown-5 molecule virtually acts as a second-sphere ligand, which associates with the copper(II) ion by hydrogen bonding of the coordinating water molecule. By the comparison of the IR, UV spectra and molar conductance of the new adducts prepared, it can be deduced that the other adducts exhibit the similar coordination environment to that of the copper adduct.     

Microwave-Assisted Olefination Reaction of Alkylzinc with Aromatic Aldehyde Catalyzed by Nickel Complex

Carbon-carbon double bond-forming reactions have always been great importance in organic synthesis. Manymethods have been described for C =C bond formation. We[1] have reported the new method of C =C bond formation of nickel catalyzed organozinc with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of Me3SiC1.     

Effect of Cationic Surfactant on the Inhibition of Ligninase by Hydrogen Peroxide

The inhibition of lingninase by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of cationic surfactant CTAB was studied by kinetic speetrophotometdc technique. Results showed that addition of CTAB enhanced the inhibition by H202, but it did not alter the inhibition pattern and the inhibition constant changed little with theco-ncentration of CTAB. Modification of the enzymic protein by the surfactant monomer may be responsible for the above mentioned results.

The atomic-level structure of bandgap engineered double perovskite alloys Cs2AgIn1−xFexCl6

Although lead-free halide double perovskites are considered as promising alternatives to lead halide perovskites for optoelectronic applications, state-of-the-art double perovskites are limited by their large bandgap. The doping/alloying strategy, key to bandgap engineering in traditional semiconductors, has also been employed to tune the bandgap of halide double perovskites. However, this strategy has yet to generate new double perovskites with suitable bandgaps for practical applications, partially due to the lack of fundamental understanding of how the doping/alloying affects the atomic-level structure. Here, we take the benchmark double perovskite Cs₂AgInCl₆ as an example to reveal the atomic-level structure of double perovskite alloys (DPAs) Cs₂AgIn_1−xFe_xCl₆ (x = 0–1) by employing solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR). The presence of paramagnetic alloying ions (e.g. Fe³⁺ in this case) in double perovskites makes it possible to investigate the nuclear relaxation times, providing a straightforward approach to understand the distribution of paramagnetic alloying ions. Our results indicate that paramagnetic Fe³⁺ replaces diamagnetic In³⁺ in the Cs₂AgInCl₆ lattice with the formation of [FeCl₆]³⁻·[AgCl₆]⁵⁻ domains, which show different sizes and distribution modes in different alloying ratios. This work provides new insights into the atomic-level structure of bandgap engineered DPAs, which is of critical significance in developing efficient optoelectronic/spintronic devices.

Through Fe³⁺-alloying, the bandgap of benchmark double perovskite Cs₂AgInCl₆ can be tuned from 2.8 eV to 1.6 eV. The atomic-level structure of Cs₂AgIn_1−xFe_xCl₆ was revealed by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR).     

Determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in environmental waters by derivative flame atomic absorption spectrometry using flow injection on-line preconcentration with double-microcolumn adsorption

The species of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in water samples were determined by flow injection on-line preconcentration and separation on two-microcolumn system-derivative flame atomic absorption spectrometry during a collaborative analysis for certification. The Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in water samples were retained on two microcolumns with ion exchange resin and were eluted directly to nebulizer by 15% HNO³ and 8% NH⁴NO³, respectively. The characteristic concentration (at the sensitivity grade of 2 mV min^?1 for 1 min of preconcentration time) for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were 0.130 and 0.0985 μg l^?1, in the order which were 332- and 431-fold better than those of FAAS, and 45- and 47-fold better than those of FI-FAAS, respectively. The relative standard deviations were 3.27% and 3.66% with corresponding detection limits (3σ) of 0.244 and 0.235 μg l^?1, respectively. The linear ranges of determinations for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) were 0～100 μgm l^?1 with correlation coefficients of 0.9984 to 0.9996. The satisfactory recovery of 94.4%～106% for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) could be obtained from water samples.

Simultaneous third-derivative spectrophotometric determination of copper and nickel in iron alloys and aluminium alloy

A method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of copper and nickel by third-derivative spectrophotometry based on the absorption spectra of their complexes with cyanide ion in the ultraviolet range. The method allows the determination of 0.55-5.8 mug/ml of copper and 0.55-6.8 mug/ml of nickel. The relative standard deviation for 11 determinations of 1.5 mul/ml of copper and nickel were 0.78 and 0.72%, respectively. The detection limits were 0.10,mug/ml for nickel and 0.13 mug/ml for copper. The method has been applied to direct determination of copper and nickel in iron alloys and an aluminium alloy without any separation.
