Crystal Structure,Thermal Analysis and IR Spectroscopic Investigation of Bis Benzyl Ammonium Monohydrogentetraoxoarsenate(V) Monohydrate

Abstract  

The salt bis benzyl ammonium monohydrogentetraoxoarsenate(V) monohydrate [C₆H₅CH₂NH₃ ⁺]₂HAsO₄ ²⁻·H₂O, M = 373.92, Triclinic, P−1. a = 6.514(1), b = 8.910(2), c = 15.061(3) ?, α = 99.26(2), β = 93.93(1), γ = 97.64(1)°, V = 851.5(3), Z = 2, D _x  = 1.460, λ (MoKα) = 0.71073 ?, μ = 0.99 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 126, T = 20(2)  °C, final R = 0.673 for 5488 unique reflections. Planes of HAsO₄ ²⁻ alternate with planes of C₆H₅CH₂NH₃ ⁺ groups. The structure consists of infinite parallel two-dimensional planes built of mutually connected ions and water molecules by strong O–H···O and N–H···O hydrogen bonding. There are no contacts other than van der Waals interactions between the layers. Differential scanning calorimetry study on bis benzyl ammonium monohydrogentetraoxoarsenate(V) monohydrate was carried out. The infrared of polycrystalline samples of this compound have been recorded at room temperature.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,3-Bis[2-(pyrrol-2-carbonyloxy)ethoxy]Benzene

Abstract  

A new compound, 1,3-bis[2-(pyrrol-2-carbonyloxy)ethoxy]benzene (1), was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystal is monoclinic, space group P2₁/c with a = 6.3571(7), b = 11.0416(11), c = 28.156(3) ?, b = 92.821(2), V = 1974.0(4) ?³, Z = 4, Dc = 1.293 g/cm³, F(000) = 808, μ = 0.097 mm⁻¹. The final R = 0.0395 and wR = 0.0927 for 3478 observed reflections with I > 2 σ(I), and R = 0.0660 and wR = 0.1058 for all reflections. The title compound assembles into 2-D structure through a catemer type N–H⋯O hydrogen bonding motif and further forms 3-D structure through C–H···O hydrogen bonds.     

Crystallographic and Computational Studies of Non-Covalent Interactions of Molecular Clips with a Series of Small Solvent Molecules

Molecular clips hold the potential of self-association and the ability to form host–guest complexes. Here we describe the synthesis of a 1,2-dimethoxyphenyl terminated glycoluril molecular clip (2) that binds with smaller solvent molecules by π?H–C and C=O?H–O non-covalent interactions. We obtained single crystals of 2 and 2 + CH₂Cl₂, CH₃OH, CH₃CN, and DMF solvents complexed within the clip. These solvents always form two π?H–C interactions between the aromatic rings in the clip, and CH₃OH formed an additional C=O?H–O hydrogen bond with the glycoluril carbonyl group. Based on single crystal data we found that π?H–C interactions of 2 + CH₂Cl₂ are stronger than 2 + CH₃CN and 2?+?DMF, due to the presence of stronger electron withdrawing groups in CH₂Cl₂, which lead to a decrease in dihedral angle of two glycoluril aromatic planes. We also investigated the non-covalent interaction energies of these solvent molecules with 2 using computational methods.

Graphical Abstract

Several solvent adducts of a glycoluril derivative have been isolated and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing two common pi?H–C non-covalent bonds within the molecular clip.

Investigating Two-Photon-Induced Fluorescence in Rhodamine-6G in Presence of Cetyl-Trimethyl-Ammonium-Bromide

We investigate the effect of cetyl-trimethyl-ammonium-bromides (CTAB) concentration on the fluorescence of Rhodamine-6G in water. This spectroscopic study of Rhodamine-6G in presence of CTAB was performed using two-photon-induced-fluorescence at 780 nm wavelength using high repetition rate femtosecond laser pulses. We report an increment of ～10 % in the fluorescence in accordance with ～12 % enhancement in the absorption intensity of the dye molecule around the critical micellar concentration. We discuss the possible mechanism for the enhancement in the two-photon fluorescence intensity and the importance of critical micellar concentration.     

Optical and Thermal Stability of Oligofluorene/Rubber Luminescent Blend

This paper proposes to obtain homogeneous and stable blends of oligo(9,9-dioctylfluorene)-co-phenylene (OF), a conjugated oligomer with strong tendency of formation of excimers in the solid state, and nitrile rubber (NBR). This rubber protection reduces the formation of polymer excimers in the films. The fluorene oligomer was synthesized via Suzuki reaction and incorporated in the nitrile rubber. The films were formed by spin coating and casting techniques on the proportions of 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 % (w/w) of OF in the nitrile rubber (NBR). The structural, optical and thermal properties of the films were evaluated with infrared, UV–Vis, fluorescence and thermogravimetry, respectively. The nitrile rubber proved to be essential for the preparation of homogeneous and stable films, since it was not possible to obtain films with only fluorene using the above-mentioned techniques. Furthermore, luminescent properties of OF are unchanged and the excimers formation in the solid state decrease suggesting the efficiency of nitrile rubber as the matrix for making films.     

Studies on Absorption and Emission Characteristics of Inclusion Complexes of Some 4-Arylidenamino-5-phenyl-4H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-thiols

The inclusion complexes of a series of 4-arylidenamino-5-phenyl-4H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-thiols have been prepared with β-cyclodextrin. The compounds and their inclusion complexes have been characterized by studying their physical and spectral properties. The thermodynamic stability constant and free energy of activation have been determined to know the stability of inclusion complexes and type of host-guest relation. Finally, absorption, excitation and emission spectra of the compounds (4-arylidenamino-5-phenyl-4H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-thiols) and their inclusion complexes have been taken. It is found that inclusion complex formation brings about a drastic change in absorption and fluorescence characteristic (both excitation and emission spectra) of newly synthesized compounds.     

Possible acceleration of cosmic rays in a rotating system: Uehling-Uhlenbeck model

We illustrate the possible acceleration of cosmic rays passing through a kind of amplification channel (via diffusion modes of propagating plane-wave fronts) induced by a rotating system. Our analysis is mainly based on the quantum discrete kinetic model (considering a discrete Uehling-Uhlenbeck collision term), which has been used to study the propagation of plane (e.g., acoustic) waves in a system of rotating gases.
