Weak itinerant magnetism as inhibited superconductivity

Thep-state pairing idea proposed recently to explain the ferromagnetism of ZrZn₂ is described in more detail, and the underlying soft-mode hypothesis is examined in relation with experiments, in particular the discovery of antiferromagnetism in TiBe₂. The key result, namely an electron-phonon contribution to the Stoner factor given essentially by the mass enhancement factor, is used to explain the behaviour of the Curie pointT _m and to predict an isotope effect.p-state superconductivity with a transition temperature determined by is predicted in TiBe₂ and, above the critical pressure whereT _m =0, also in ZrZn₂.Work in La Jolla supported by NSF/DMR 77-08469.     

On the Fourier transformation on spaces of (p,q)-multipliers

LetG denote a locally compact abelian topological group. The aim of the present paper is to prove an “intermediate” result between two well-known results ofL. Hörmander andG. I. Gaudry concerning the structure of the spaces ?_G?μ?t ^p,q (G).     

Compressed Corannulene in a Molecular Cage

Self‐assembled coordination cages can be employed as a molecular press, where the bowl‐shaped guest corannulene (C₂₀H₁₀) is significantly flattened upon inclusion within the hydrophobic cavity. This is demonstrated by the pairwise inclusion of corannulene with naphthalene diimide as well as by the dimer inclusion of bromocorannulene inside the box‐like host. The compressed corannulene structures are unambiguously revealed by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis.     

Topochemical Reactions in Langmuir-Blodgett Multilayers

Abstract

The topochemical polymerization of diacetylenes and.the dimerization of cinnamic acid derivatives have been studied in Langmuir-Blodgett-multilayers. The resulting polymer films are of controlled thickness and morphology and exhibit excellent stability. Structure, morphology and phase changes occuring in monomer and polymer films have been investigated using spectroscopic methods, electron and x-ray diffraction. Possible applications of the polymer films are discussed.

Angular Benzoperylenetetracarboxylic Bisimides

Benzoperylene derivatives with two angularly attached dicarboxylic imide rings, which were prepared by the Diels–Alder‐Reaction, exhibit strong fluorescence and their free peri positions allow either control of the UV/Vis spectra through their substituents or form anchor positions for the attachment of functional units. The angular chromophore 3 may be used both for fluorescent labeling such as for primary amines or enzymes or as building blocks for more complex assemblies where they may act as energy donors for FRET or electron acceptors in PET such as for photovoltaic solar cells.
