Hydrogen Bonding in the Water Stabilized Structure of the Modified Unsymmetrically Substituted Viologen Chromophore, <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-ethyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-(2-phosphonoethyl)-4,4′-bipyridylium Dichloride

Abstract  

The crystal structure of the modified unsymmetrically N,N′-substituted viologen chromophore, N-ethyl-N′-(2-phosphonoethyl)-4,4′-bipyridinium dichloride 0.75 hydrate (1) has been determined. Crystals are triclinic, space group P−1 with Z = 2 in a cell with a = 7.2550(1), b = 13.2038(5), c = 18.5752(7) Å, α = 86.495(3), β = 83.527(2), γ = 88.921(2)°. The two independent but pseudo-symmetrically related cations in the asymmetric unit form one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains through short homomeric phosphonic acid O–H···O links [2.455(4), 2.464(4) Å] while two of the chloride anions are similarly strongly linked to phosphonic acid groups [O–H···Cl, 2.889(4), 2.896(4) Å]. The other two chloride anions together with the two water molecules of solvation (one with partial occupancy) form unusual cyclic hydrogen-bonded bis(Cl···water) dianion units which lie between the layers of bipyridylium rings of the cation chain structures with which they are weakly associated.     

Study of Sm-doped ZnO samples sintered in a nitrogen atmosphere and deposited on n-Si(1 0 0) by evaporation technique

The samarium doping zinc oxide (Zn_1-xSm_xO) with (x=0.0, 0.04, 0.05 and 0.17) polycrystalline thin films have been deposited on n-Si(1 0 0) substrate using thermal evaporation technique. Ceramic targets for deposition were prepared by the standard solid-state reaction method and sintered in nitrogen atmospheres. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses show that the bulk and films features reveal wurtzite crystal structure with a preferential (1 0 1) crystallographic orientation and grows as hexagonal shape grains. According to the results of the Hall effect measurements, all the films show p-type conductivity, possibly a result of nitrogen incorporation into the Sm-doped ZnO samples. Magnetic measurements show that ferromagnetic behavior depends on the Sm³⁺ concentration. For a film with lower Sm₂O₃ contents (x=0.04), a phenomenon of paramagnetism has been observed. While, with further increase of Sm³⁺ contents (x=0.05) the ferromagnetic behavior has been observed at room temperature. However, at higher doping content of Sm³⁺, the ferromagnetic behavior was suppressed. The decrease of ferromagnetism with increasing doping concentration demonstrates that ferromagnetism observed at room temperature is an intrinsic property of Zn_1-xSm_xO films.     

Index computations in Rabinowitz Floer homology

In this note we study two index questions. In the first we establish the relationship between the Morse indices of the free time action functional and the fixed time action functional. The second is related to Rabinowitz Floer homology. Our index computations are based on a correction term which is defined as follows: around a nondegenerate Hamiltonian orbit lying in a fixed energy level a well-known theorem says that one can find a whole cylinder of orbits parametrized by the energy. The correction term is determined by whether the periods of the orbits are increasing or decreasing as one moves up the orbit cylinder. We also provide an example to show that, even above the Ma?é critical value, the periods may be increasing thus producing a jump in the Morse index of the free time action functional in relation to the Morse index of the fixed time action functional.     

Yrast states in81Br and82Br

Projectile and targetK-vacancy production probabilities in 4.6-, 5.8- and 7.3-MeV/a.m.u. U+U and U+Pb collisions are reported for impact parameters between 10 and 85 fm. These probability measurements are compared with available theory.     

Growth of silicon nanowires on UV-structurable glass using self-organized nucleation centres

We report on the growth of silicon nanowires on photostructurable glass by low-pressure chemical vapour deposition. Thereby, no additional catalyst was needed to stimulate the growth process. Instead, a self-organized crystallization process leads to the formation of metallic clusters and seed crystals within the glass, which are supposed to initialize the nanowire growth. The nanowires were contacted by direct deposition of Pt using a focussed ion beam system and characterized electrically.     

Extension Theorems for Spaces Arising from Approximation by Translates of a Basic Function

We establish extension theorems for functions in spaces which arise naturally in studying interpolation by radial basic functions. These spaces are akin in some way to the non-integer-valued Sobolev spaces, although they are considerably more general. Such extensions allow us to establish local error estimates in a way which we make precise in the introductory section of our paper. There are many other applications of these fundamental results, including improved L_p error estimates for interpolation by shifts of a single basic function, but these applications have been left to a later paper.
