catena‐Poly[[[pyridinecopper(II)]bis[μ3‐4‐(2‐oxidobenzylideneamino)benzoato]] dimethylformamide disolvate], a polymer composed of dimeric dicopper building units

The title compound, {[Cu(C₁₄H₉NO₃)(C₅H₅N)]·C₃H₇NO}_n or {[Cu₂L₂(py)₂]·2DMF}_n [py is pyridine, L is 4‐(salicylideneamino)benzoate and DMF is dimethylformamide], is composed of dimeric dicopper [CuL(py)]₂ building units, which are interlinked into a one‐dimensional chain through the formation of Cu—O_COO bonds. The dimeric unit is centrosymmetric, containing two Cu^II atoms linked by bridging phenolate O atoms into a Cu₂O₂ plane with a chelating Cu—O bond length of 1.927 (2) Å and a bridging Cu—O bond length of 2.440 (2) Å. Interchain C—H...O and π–π stacking interactions are responsible for an extensive three‐dimensional structure in which the resulting channels are filled by DMF solvent molecules.     

A Novel Dinuclear Nickel(II) Complex with Three Bridges of Cl–, OAc– and (‐OCH2CH2O‐) Group of N,N, N′, N′‐Tetrakis(2‐benzimidazolyl methyl‐1, 4‐di‐ethylene amino) Glycol Ether

The novel dinuclear Ni²⁺ complex [Ni₂(μ‐Cl)(μ‐OAc) (EGTB)]·Cl·ClO₄·2CH₃OH, where EGTB is N, N, N′, N′‐tetrakis (2‐benzimidazolyl methyl‐1, 4‐di‐ethylene amino)glycol ether, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 15.272(2), b = 14.768(2), c = 22.486(3) Å, V = 5071.4(12) ų, Z = 4, D_calc = 1.414 g cm^?3, and is bridged by triply bridging agents of a chloride ion, an acetate and an intra‐ligand (‐OCH₂CH₂O‐) group. The nickel coordination geometry is that of a slightly distorted octahedron with a NiN₃O₂Cl arrangement of the ligand donor atoms. The Ni–Cl distance is 2.361(2) Å, and two Ni–O distances are 1.996(5) and 2.279(6) Å. The three Ni–N distances are 2.033(7), 2.060(6), and 2.166(6) Å with the Ni–N bond trans to an ether oxygen the shortest, the Ni–N bond trans to an acetate oxygen the middle and the Ni–N bond trans to Cl the longest.     

Synthesis of new tetrazene（N-N=N-N）-linked bi（1,2,4-triazole）

The reaction of 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole with sodium dichloroisocyanurate (SDCI) afforded new tetrazene(N-N=N-N)-linked bi(1.2,4-triazole) 2a in excellent yield.Increasing the molar ratio of SDCI to 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole,the chlorinated product 1,5,5′- trichloro-4,4′-azo-1,2,4-triazole (2b) was formed.These new compounds have been characterized by MS,~1H NMR,~(13)C NMR,and elemental analysis.     

Simultaneous determination of neodymium, erbium and holmium in rare earth mixtures with 2-phenyltrifluoroacetone and octylphenol poly(ethyleneglycol) ether by third-derivative spectrophotometry

The complexes of the rare earth metals with 2-phenyltrifluoroacetone in the presence of TX-100 are reported. The characteristic absorbances of neodymium, holmium and erbium complexes can be increased by factors of 8.5, 31 and 15 respectively, compared to those of the cholrides. The third-derivative spectra have been used to eliminate the interference of cerium, and the sensitivities are increased again by factors of 7.4, 5.5 and 6.5. A method for the direct determination of neodymium, erbium and holmium in rare earth mixtures is proposed.     

Single Atoms of Iron on MoS2 Nanosheets for N2 Electroreduction into Ammonia

Efforts have been devoted to achieving a highly efficient artificial synthesis of ammonia (NH₃). Reported herein is a novel Fe-MoS₂ catalyst with Fe atomically dispersed onto MoS₂ nanosheets, imitating natural nitrogenase, to boost N₂ electroreduction into NH₃ at room temperature. The Fe-MoS₂ nanosheets exhibited a faradic efficiency of 18.8 % with a yield rate of 8.63 μg mg_cat.⁻¹ h⁻¹ for NH₃ at −0.3 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode. The mechanism study revealed that the electroreduction of N₂ was promoted and the competing hydrogen evolution reaction was suppressed by decorating the edge sites of S in MoS₂ with the atomically dispersed Fe, resulting in high catalytic performance for the electroreduction of N₂ into NH₃. This work provides new ideas for the design of catalysts for N₂ electroreduction and strengthens the understanding about N₂ activation over Mo-based catalysts.     

Bond energy, aromatic stabilization energy and strain in IPR fullerenes

Various models applied to DFT structures and energies of 2-D and 3-D aromatic molecules shed new light on the effects of strain and aromaticity in these systems. The cyclic pi electron delocalisation does not stabilize the fullerene C60 formation; and 5-6 and 6-6 CC bonds have near-identical bond stretch potentials.     

Dynamics of end-grafted polystyrene brushes in theta solvents

The dynamics of the concentration fluctuations in end-grafted polystyrene brushes in a theta solvent (cyclohexane) are probed by evanescent wave dynamic light scattering at different wavevectors q and temperatures. When the solvent quality changes from marginal to poor, the relaxation function C(q, t) exhibits strong effects as compared with the smooth variation of the brush density profile. From a single exponential above 50 °C, C(q, t) becomes a two-step decay function. The fast decay is still assigned to the cooperative diffusion albeit slower than in the good solvent regime whereas the slow nonexponential and nondiffusive process might relate to microsegragated and/or chain dynamics in the present polydisperse brush. The relaxation function of the present three brushes with different grafting density reveals similarities and disparities between wet brushes and semidilute polymer solutions. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
