EPR spectroscopic investigations on single crystals of diaquabis[malonato(1-)-κ2O,O′] zinc(II) doped with VO(II) ion have been carried out at X-band frequencies and at 300 K. The single crystal, rotated along the three mutually orthogonally axes, has yielded spin-Hamiltonian parameters g and A as: gxx=1.980, gyy=1.972, gzz=1.937 and Axx=8.4, Ayy=6.1, Azz=18.1 mT, respectively. These spin-Hamiltonian parameters reflect a slight deviation from axial symmetry to rhombic, which is elucidated by the interstitial occupation of vanadyl ions. The isofrequency plots and powder EPR spectrum have been simulated. The percentage of metal-oxygen bond has been estimated. The optical absorption spectrum exhibits four bands at 257, 592, 720 and 764 nm suggesting a C4v symmetry. The admixture coefficients and bonding parameters have also been calculated by collaborating EPR data with optical data. 相似文献
The absolute thermopower of single phase YBa2Cu3O7 and Y0.8Er0.2Ba2Cu3O7 has been measured in the range 250 K to the superconducting transition temperature. It is found that these compounds show
a large enhancement of thermopower in the range 150 K down toTc. This enhancement shows a steep exponential drop as the temperature increases from the transition temperature. The temperature
variation of the enhancement is too steep to be accounted for by electron-phonon or electron-local structural excitation mechanisms. 相似文献
The authors describe an electrochemical method for the determination of the anti-cancer drug nilutamide. The method is based on the use of a composite prepared from β-cyclodextrin, gold nanoparticles and graphene oxide (β-CD-AuNP/GO). An alkaline solution of glucose was used as a reducing agent to reduce the gold ions, rather than citric acid and a harmful reducing agent such as hydrazine and sodium borohydride. The structure and surface morphology of the β-CD-AuNP/GO composite was characterized by Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. A screen printed carbon electrode was modified with the nanocomposite, and the resulting electrode used as a disposable sensor for the determination of nilutamide by differential pulse voltammetry. Best operated at a working voltage of 0.43 V (vs Ag/AgCl), it exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity and a detection limit as low as 0.4 nM. The sensor was applied to the determination of nilutamide in (spiked) human serum, as well as in a tablet, where it displays good recovery and accuracy. The sensor is repeatable, reproducible, stable and selective even in the presence of other aromatic nitro compounds.

A novel series of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and VO(IV) complexes has been synthesized from the Schiff base derived from
4-[(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyrazol-3-one and 1,2-diaminobenzene. Structural features
were determined by analytical and spectral techniques. Binding of synthesized complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) was
studied by spectroscopic methods and viscosity measurements. Experimental results indicate that the complexes are able to
form adducts with DNA and to distort the double helix by changing the base stacking. Lower DNA affinity of the VO(IV) complex
is caused by the change of coordination geometry by the vanadyl ion resulting in a somewhat unfavorable configuration for
the DNA binding. Oxidative DNA cleavage activities of the complexes were studied with supercoiled (SC) pUC19 DNA using gel
electrophoresis; the mechanism studies revealed that the hydroxyl radical is likely to be the reactive species responsible
for the cleavage of pUC19 DNA by the synthesized complexes. The in vitro antimicrobial screening effects of the investigated
compounds were monitored by the disc diffusion method. The synthesized Schiff base complexes exhibit higher antimicrobial
activity than the respective free Schiff base. 相似文献

reaction are cystine and two electron-reduced heteropoly blue, [PVIVVIVW10O40]7−. The rates of the electron transfer reaction were measured spectrophotometrically in acetate–acetic acid buffers at 25 °C.
The orders of the reaction with respect to both [cysteine] and [oxidant] are unity, and the reaction exhibits simple second-order
kinetics at constant pH. The pH-rate profile indicates the participation of deprotonated cysteine in the reaction. The reaction
proceeds through an outer-sphere mechanism. For the dianion −SCH2CH(NH3+)COO−, the rate constant for the cross electron transfer reaction is 96 M−1s−1 at 25 °C. The self-exchange rate constant for the

Lithium titanate ceramics doped with Eu were synthesized and their photoluminescence (PL) and emission spectral characteristics were investigated. PL spectra of the sample showed peaks corresponding to the 5D0→7FJ (J=0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) transitions under 230 nm excitation. The fluorescence lifetimes of Eu3+ ions were found out to be 645 μs. Strong red emission coming from the hypersensitive 5D0→7F2 transition of Eu3+ ion suggested the presence of the dopant ion in highly asymmetric environment. Further analysis of the emission spectrum revealed that the symmetry of the metal ion is very low i.e. C2. The emission intensity of the sample was compared with a commercial phosphor to get an idea about the commercial utility of the phosphor. Various emission properties for the system namely Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters, spontaneous emission probabilities, branching ratios, radiative lifetimes and quantum efficiency were evaluated for the dopant ion by adopting standard procedure. 相似文献
Synthesis of novel pyrroloisoquinoline and indolizinoindole derivatives with β-lactam unit has been achieved by sequential intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and Pictet-Spengler cyclization. The azomethine ylide derived from β-lactam imine of α-amino ester in the presence of silver acetate reacted with nitrostyrenes to give pyrrolidinyl β-lactam, which underwent Pictet-Spengler cyclization in presence of trifluoroacetic acid to give pyrroloisoquinolines and indolizinoindoles. 相似文献
