Neue schnelle Ionenleiter vom Typ MMIIICl6 (MI = Li,Na, Ag; MIII = In,Y)

Novel Fast Ion Conductors of the Type M M^IIICl₆ (M^I = Li, Na, Ag; M^III = In, Y) The ternary chlorides Li₃InCl₆, Na₃InCl₆, Ag₃InCl₆, and Li₃YCl₆ have been studied by difference scanning calorimetry, high-temperature X-ray, infrared, and high-temperature Raman methods. Impedance spectroscopic measurements exhibit fast ionic conductivity increasing in the sequence Na₃InCl₆ < Li₃YCl₆ < Ag₃InCl₆ < Li₃InCl₆. In the range of 300°C, Li₃InCl₆ is the best lithium ion conductor known so far (σ = 0,2 Ω^?1 cm^?1 at 300°C). With the exception of Na₃InCl₆, the chlorides exhibit complicated order-disorder phase transitions.     

A graph-theoretic approach to quantitative structure—activity/reactivity studies

Characterization of molecular species based on the use of suitable graph invariants (graph paths, in particular) can provide a quantitative means of encoding structure; the technique is complementary to commoner approaches to studies of quantitative structure— activity relationships. Graph path encoding is here applied to quantitative studies of relationships between molecular structures and biological activity; the examples are the rates of various substrate reactions with hexoldnase, and the potential opiate-like activity of enkephalin analogs.     

The efficiency of light-emitting electrochemical cells

We report on the efficiency behavior of light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) fabricated from a methyl-substituted ladder-type poly(p-phenylene) (mLPPP) that was blended with a crown ether based solid state electrolyte. Unlike organic light-emitting diodes (oLEDs) utilizing mLPPP as an active layer, the LECs suffer from a loss of efficiency at elevated current densities. From scan rate dependent studies we deduce that this efficiency drop is not only due to device decomposition upon high voltage operation and we also reveal the intrinsic mode of LEC operation. The decreasing width of the intrinsic region between the p- and n-type doped zones upon ongoing pin-junction formation causes distinct (either field or electrode induced) luminance quenching effects.     

Koexistenzbeziehungen,Darstellung und Eigenschaften ternärer Phasen im System Cu/Mo/O

Coexistence Relations, Preparation and Properties of Ternary Compounds in the System Cu/Mo/O The phase diagram of the ternary system Cu/Mo/O is presented at 773 K. The compounds CuMoO₄, Cu₃Mo₂O₉, Cu₄Mo₅O₁₇, Cu₆Mo₅O₁₈, Cu_4–xMo₃O₁₂, and Cu_xMoO₃ are found to be thermodynamical stable. The homogeneity range of Cu_4–xMo₃O₁₂ runs to x = 0.1–0.2. Single crystals of CuMoO₄ and Cu₃Mo₂O₉ were grown by chemical transport reactions with TeCl₄, Cl₂, HCl, and Br₂ as transport agent. The results were compared with thermochemical calculations. The decomposition of CuMoO₄ and Cu₃Mo₂O₉ was investigated with thermal analysis and decompositon pressure measurements.
