Synthesis, structural characterization and electrochemical studies of nickel(II), copper(II) and cobalt(III) complexes of some ONS donor ligands derived from thiosemicarbazide and S-alkyl/aryl dithiocarbazates

Four tridentate ONS ligands, namely 2-hydroxyacetophenonethiosemicarbazone (H₂L¹), the 2-hydroxyacetophenone Schiff base of S-methyldithiocarbazate (H₂L²), the 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde Schiff base of S-methyldithiocarbazate (H₂L³), and the 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde Schiff base of S-benzyldithiocarbazate (H₂L⁴), and their complexes of general formula [Ni(HL¹)₂], [ML] (M?=?Ni^II or Cu^II; L?=?L¹, L², L³ and L⁴), [Co(HL)(L); L?=?L¹, L², L³ and L⁴] and [ML(B)] (M?=?Ni^II or Cu^II; L?=?L² and L⁴; B?=?py, PPh₃) have been prepared and characterized by physico-chemical techniques. Spectroscopic evidence indicates that the Schiff bases behave as ONS tridentate chelating agents. X-ray crystallographic structure determination of [NiL²(PPh₃)] and [CuL⁴(py)] indicates that these complexes have an approximately square-planar structure with the Schiff bases acting as dinegatively charged ONS tridentate ligands coordinating via the phenoxide oxygen, azomethine nitrogen and thiolate sulfur atoms. The electrochemical properties of the complexes have been studied by cyclic voltammetry.

Coral reef-like polyanaline nanotubes prepared by a reactive template of manganese oxide for supercapacitor electrode

Coral reef-like PANI nanotubes composed of nanopaticles were successfully synthesized by a reactive template of manganese oxide.The structure was characterized by using SEM,TEM,and FT-IR,and the supercapacitive behaviors of these nanotubes were investigated with cyclic voltammetry（CV）,and charge-discharge tests,respectively.A maximum specific capacitance of 533 F/g could be achieved in 1mol/L aqueous H₂SO₄ with the potential range of -0.2 to 0.8 V（vs.the saturated calomel electrode） in a half-cell setup configuration for PANI electrode,suggesting its potential application in the electrode material for electrochemical capacitors.     

Application of the Lie algebraic approach to diffractionally and rotationally inelastic molecule–surface scattering

The Lie algebraic approach of Alhassid and Levine [Phys. Rev. A 18 , 89 (1978)] is applied to the molecule–surface scattering. Specially, the diffractionally and rotationally inelastic scattering of a diatomic molecule from a solid surface is dealt with. Within the framework of the close-coupling method, we construct a Hamiltonian for the scattering system and use it to generate a dynamical algebra h₆. By solving equations of motion for the group parameters, the scattering wave functions near the surface are obtained. Computed transition probabilities of diffractively and rotationally inelastic scattering of H₂ from LiF(001) surface with the use of Lie algebraic method are seen to agree well with the coupled-channel calculations. The Lie algebraic method thus appears to have a wide range of validity for describing the dynamics of gas–surface scattering. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 63: 981–989, 1997     

Surface-assisted one-dimensional self-assembly of a perylene based semiconductor molecule

Chloroform-vapor annealing of thin films of propoxyethyl perylene tetracarboxylic diimide (PE-PTCDI, an n-type semiconductor) deposited on glass or mica leads to formation of well-defined one-dimensional self-assemblies (e.g. nanobelts), which show optically uniaxial properties as demonstrated by the linearly polarized emission.     

Stannous oxalate as a novel catalyst for the synthesis of polytrimethylene terephthalate

Stannous oxalate was prepared efficiently and characterized by XRD and FT-IR. It exhibited higher catalytic activity and had profitable effect than tetrabutyl titanate and stannous octoate for the synthesis of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) via esterification-route. Over this catalyst, the degree of esterification of pure terephthalic acid was up to 94.4% at 260°C after 1.5 h, while the intrinsic viscosity and content of terminal carboxyl groups of the corresponding PTT polyester, polymerized at 260°C, 60 Pa for 2 h, was 0.8950 dL/g and 15 mol/t, respectively. Stannous oxalate was a promising catalyst for the synthesis of PTT polyester.     

Recovery performance and characteristics in shape memory effects of aliphatic polyether urethane

The analysis on the recovery performance and characteristics in shape memory effects is helpful for the optimal design and engineering applications of shape memory polymers and their composites. To investigate the relationships among recovery performance, material parameters, and loading conditions, by taking aliphatic polyether urethane as an example, the researchers simulate the shape memory behaviors numerically using a three‐dimensional viscoelastic model. The material parameters for this model are taken from stress relaxation tests, rather than dynamic mechanical analysis tests. Both the unconstrained and the constrained recovery behaviors during strain‐controlled shape memory processes are analyzed. The results reveal that the unconstrained recovery occurs at the same temperature regardless of the applied strain values. Another interesting result is that the shape recovery temperature in unconstrained recovery situations increases and the maximum recovery stress under constrained recovery conditions decreases with the increase of heating rates.

A new gas chromatographic stationary phase: Polysiloxane with β-cyclodextrin side chain for the separation of chiral and positional isomers

Summary A new stationary phase [bikis(2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-hex-6-enyl)-pentakis(2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-methyl)-β-CD-polysiloxane] was synthesized and successfully applied in GC for the separation of chiral and achiral isomers. It possesses high column efficiency and exhibits excellent separation ability for disubstituted benzenes. Some typical enantiomers and optical isomers are well separated. The separation behavior of this new phase is characterized and discussed.     

Two-dimensional MgSiP_2 with anisotropic electronic properties and good performances for Na-ion batteries

Using the global particle-swarm optimization method and density functional theory,we predict a new stable two-dimensional layered material:MgSiP_2 with a low-buckled honeycomb lattice.Our HSE06 calculation shows that MgSiP_2 is an indirect-gap semiconductor with a band-gap of 1.20 eV,closed to that of bulk silicon.More remarkably,MgSiP2 exhibits worthwhile anisotropy along with electron and hole carrier mobility.A ultrahigh electron mobility is even up to 1.29 × 104 cm~2 V ~1 s ~1.while the hole mobility is nearly zero along the a direction.The large difference of the mobility between electron and hole together with the suitable band-gap suggest that MgSiP_2 may be a good candidate for solar cell or photochemical catalysis material.Furthermore,we explore MgSiP2 as an anode for sodium-ion batte ries.Upon Na adsorption,the semiconducting MgSiP2 transforms to a metallic state,ensuring good electrical conductivity.A maximum theoretical capacity of 1406 mAh/g,a small volume change(within 9.5%),a small diffusion barrier(～0.16 eV) and low average open-circuit voltages(～0.15 V) were found fo r MgSiP2 as an anode for sodium-ion batteries.These results are helpful to deepen the understanding of MgSiP2 as a nanoelectronic device and a potential anode for Na-ion batteries.
