Urea coordinated titanium trichloride Ti(III)[OC(NH)2]6Cl3: a single molecular precursor yielding highly visible light responsive TiO2 nanocrystallites

A coordination complex, Ti(III)[OC(NH2)2]6Cl3, was first synthesized via reacting hot alcoholic solutions of TiCl3 and urea, which was subsequently employed as a molecular precursor for nanocrystalline TiO2 via thermal decomposition. Fourier transform IR spectroscopy confirmed C=O-->Ti coordination bond formation, while Rietveld refinement revealed a hexagonal crystal structure (space group: Pc1) for the complex with a = b = 16.438(4) A, c = 15.423(3) A, alpha = beta = 90 degrees , gamma = 120 degrees , and V = 3608.9(13) A3. Thermal decomposition and phase evolution processes of the complex were investigated in air by combined means of elemental analysis, Fourier transform IR, differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. Characterizations of the resultant TiO2 powders were achieved by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, thermal desorption spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Simultaneous doping of C, N, and Cl was realized upon pyrolyzing the molecular precursor in air, leading to significantly lowered direct and indirect interband transition energies of the resultant TiO2. As a consequence, the anatase nanopowders obtained at 450 and 500 degrees C, with specific surface areas of 97.8 and 64.1 m2/g, respectively, exhibit significantly higher efficiency than Degussa P25 in the bleaching of methyl orange solution under visible light (mainly consisting two wavelengths of 405 and 436 nm at 81:100 intensity ratio) irradiation, either at a fixed weight of TiO2 loading or at a fixed surface area of the loaded TiO2 powder.     

Totally geodesic immersions of Kähler manifolds and Kähler Frenet curves

In a given Kähler manifold (M,J) we introduce the notion of Kähler Frenet curves, which is closely related to the complex structure J of M. Using the notion of such curves, we characterize totally geodesic Kähler immersions of M into an ambient Kähler manifold and totally geodesic immersions of M into an ambient real space form of constant sectional curvature .     

Synthesis of bis(azafulvene)s by dehydration of hydroxymethylpyrrole derivatives

Bis(azafulvene) was isolated in 55% yield by the reaction of 4 equivalents of phenyllithium with 5,5'-diformyl-3,3',4,4'-tetraethyl-2,2'-bipyrrole followed by quenching with acetic anhydride. Unstable bis(azafulvene)s were obtained in much higher yields by dehydrating 5,5'-bis(hydroxymethyl) derivatives of 2,2'-bipyrrole and gem-dimethyl-2,2'-dipyrrylmethane with (Boc)2O-DMAP at room temperature. X-Ray crystallography of two bis(azafulvene)s is reported.     

Infrared spectra and intensities of the H2O and N2 complexes in the range of the nu1- and nu3-bands of water

The IR spectra of complexes of water with nitrogen molecules in the range of the symmetric (nu(1)) and antisymmetric (nu(3)) bands of H(2)O have been studied in helium droplets. The infrared intensities of the nu(3) and nu(1) modes of H(2)O were found to be larger by factors of 1.3 and 2, respectively, in the N(2)-H(2)O complexes. These factors are smaller than those obtained in recent theoretical calculations. The conformation of the N(2)-H(2)O complex was estimated. Spectra and IR intensities of the (N(2))(2)-H(2)O and N(2)-(H(2)O)(2) complexes were also obtained and their structures are discussed.

Search for f(J)(2220) in radiative J/ψ decays

We present a search for f(J)(2220) production in radiative J/ψ→γf(J)(2220) decays using 460 fb?1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II e(+)e? collider. The f(J)(2220) is searched for in the decays to K(+)K? and K(S)?K(S)?. No evidence of this resonance is observed, and 90% confidence level upper limits on the product of the branching fractions for J/ψ→γf(J)(2220) and f(J)(2220)→K(+)K?(K(S)?K(S)?) as a function of spin and helicity are set at the level of 10??, below the central values reported by the Mark III experiment.     

Direct and inverse problems for degenerate differential equations

We are concerned with a general abstract equation that allows to handle various degenerate first and second order differential equations in Banach spaces. We indicate sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of a solution. Periodic conditions are assumed to improve previous approaches on the abstract problem to work on \((-\infty ,\infty )\). Related inverse problems are discussed, too. All general results are applied to some systems of partial differential equations. Inverse problems for degenerate evolution integro-differential equations might be described, too.
