Über die Struktur von Bis-(dihydroxoboroxalendiamiddioximato)-nickel(II)-tetrahydrat

The space group of the sparingly soluble brown coloured bis-(dihydroxobor-oxalene-diamide-dioximato)-nickel(II)-tetrahydrate (C₄H₁₂N₈O₈B₂Ni · 4 H₂O) is P21/c with a = 9.25, b = 13.27, c = 6.61 Å and β = 92.7°. The structure was solved on single crystals. There are two molecules in the unit cell. Within the square planar complex the nickel atom is bonded to the four nitrogen atoms of the plane system of the two dioximato ligands (Ni? N = 1.84 ± 0.02 Å). Each of the boron atoms is tetrahedrally surrounded by two oxygen atoms belonging to the oxime groups and two hydroxyl groups (B? O = 1.50 ± 0.06 Å). Thus the complex has the conformation of a chair form. The water molecules participate in intermolecular hydrogen bonds. There is no interaction between Ni atoms.     

Analytische Probleme der Darstellung radioaktiven Schwefelwasserstoffs mit hoher spezifischer Aktivit?t

Zusammenfassung Es wird ein Verfahren im Mikromaßstab zur Darstellung und Analyse von höchstreinem Schwefelwasserstoff von hoher bis sehr hoher spezifischer Aktivität beschrieben. Durch Anwendung der Adsorptions-Chromatographie und isothermer Destillation konnte bei hohen Ausbeuten der Gehalt an Verunreinigungen unter 10^–2 Molprozent gesenkt werden. Die massenspektrometrische H₂S-Analyse und ihre Problematik wurden ausführlich behandelt. Durch geeignete Versuche und ihre theoretische Interpretation konnte eindeutig nachgewiesen werden, daß im Massenspektrometer durch Nebenreaktionen des H₂S sowohl CS₂ als auch H₂O sekundär gebildet werden, wodurch eine Verfälschung des Analysenergebnisses eintritt.Als Kontrollmethode für die Reinheit des H₂S während des Ablaufes der Sulfidierungsreaktionen im Innern der geschlossenen Apparatur erwies sich die Messung des Tripelpunktdruckes als besonders geeignet. Sie wurde dafür zu einer Mikromethode für nur wenige Milliliter radioaktiven Gases modifiziert, die noch ca. 7 ppm Verunreinigungen zu erfassen erlaubt.

Analytical problems of the preparation of radioactive hydrogen sulphide of high specific activity

A procedure in micro scale is described for the preparation and analysis of hydrogen sulphide of maximum purity with high to very high specific activity. High yield and impurity contents of less than 10^–2 Mol-% could be achieved by the use of adsorption chromatography and isothermal distillation.The mass-spectrometric H₂S analysis and its problems are discussed in detail. By suitable experiments and their theoretical interpretation it could clearly be shown that CS₂ and H₂O are formed secondarily by side-reactions of hydrogen sulphide in the mass spectrometer, thus causing erroneous results. Measurement of the triple-point pressure proved to be particularly suitable for checking the purity of H₂S during the course of the sulphurizing reactions within the closed apparatus. It has been modified to a micro method for only a few ml of radioactive gases, permitting the determination of about 7 ppm of impurities.

Electron Transfer in the Cs⊂{Mn4Fe4} Cubic Switch: A Soluble Molecular Model of the MnFe Prussian-Blue Analogues

A mixed-valence {Mn^II₃Mn^IIIFe^II₂Fe^III₂} cyanide-bridged molecular cube hosting a caesium cation, Cs⊂{Mn₄Fe₄}, was synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. Cyclic-voltammetry measurements show that its electronic state can be switched between five different redox states, which results in a remarkable electrochromic effect. Magnetic measurements on fresh samples point to the occurrence of a spin-state change near room temperature, which could be ascribed to a metal-to-metal electron transfer converting the {Fe^II−CN−Mn^III} pair into a {Fe^III−CN−Mn^II} pair. This feature was only previously observed in the polymeric MnFe Prussian-blue analogues (PBAs). Moreover, this novel switchable molecule proved to be soluble and stable in organic solvents, paving the way for its integration into advanced materials.     

PbTiO3/SrTiO3(010)异质界面上的周期性失配位错及电子富集

It is important to determine the effects of misfit dislocations and other defects on the domain structure, ferroelectricity, conductivity, and other physical properties of ferroelectric thin films to understand their ferroelectric and piezoelectric behaviors. Much attention has been given to ferroelectric PbTiO₃/SrTiO₃ or PbZr_0.2Ti_0.8O₃/SrTiO₃ heterointerfaces, at which improper ferroelectricity, a spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas, and other physical phenomena have been found. However, those heterointerfaces were all (001) planes, and there has been no experimental studies on the growth of (010) PbTiO₃/SrTiO₃ heterointerface due to the 6.4% misfit between two materials. In this study, we selected an atomically flat (010) PbTiO₃/SrTiO₃ heterointerface grown using a two-step hydrothermal method as the research subject, and this is the first experimental report on that interface. Interfacial dislocations can play a significant role in causing dramatic changes in the Curie temperature and polarization distribution near the dislocation cores, especially when the size of a ferroelectric thin film is scaled down to the nanoscale. The results of previous studies on the effects of interfacial dislocations on the physical properties of ferroelectric thin films have been contradictory. Thus, this issue needs to be explored more deeply in the future. This study used aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to study the atomic structure of a (010) PbTiO₃/SrTiO₃ heterointerface and found periodic misfit dislocations with a Burgers vector of a[001]. The extra planes at the dislocation cores could relieve the misfit strain between the two materials in the [001] direction and thus allowed the growth of such an atomically sharp heterointerface. Moreover, monochromated electron energy-loss spectroscopy with an atomic scale spatial resolution and high energy resolution was used to explore the charge distribution near the periodic misfit dislocation cores. The fine structure of the Ti L edge was quantitatively analyzed by linearly fitting the experimental spectra recorded at various locations near and at the misfit dislocation cores with the Ti³⁺ and Ti⁴⁺ reference spectra. Therefore, the accurate valence change of Ti could be determined, which corresponded to the charge distribution. The probable existence of an aggregation of electrons was found near the a[001] dislocation cores, and the density of the electrons calculated from the valence change was 0.26 electrons per unit cell. Based on an analysis of the fine structure of the oxygen K edge, it could be argued that the electrons aggregating at the dislocation cores came from the oxygen vacancies in the interior regions of the PbTiO₃. This aggregation of electrons will probably increase the electron conductivity along the dislocation line. The physics of two-dimensional charge distributions at oxide interfaces have been intensively studied, however, little attention had been given to the one-dimensional charge distribution. Therefore, the results of this study can stimulate research interest in exploring the influence of the interfacial dislocations on the physics of ferroelectric heterointerfaces.

Integrated circuit thermal analysis: A new thermal technique for polymer characterization

Polymer characterization has largely helped in the development of thermal analyzers and calorimeters, based mainly on the thermocouple technology, or more recently the semiconductor technology. With the use of an integrated silicon thermopile as a detector, a new thermal technique is appearing, to give more possibilities of investigations in the field of polymeric materials. Combining high sensitivity and use of small amount of sample, the originality of the new design comes from its low power consumption, giving rise to a portable version of the instrument. With such a concept, the thermal analysis technique is carried on the industrial site, to perform online measurements.Melting and crystallization, glass transition, control of reticulation are a promising field of applications for the characterization of polymeric materials on industrial sites.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Heterocyclic bioantioxidants. 2. Interaction of 3-nitro-4-substituted coumarins with mercaptans

3-Nitro-4-chlorocoumarin forms 3-nitro-4-substituted coumarins when it reacts with an equimolar quantity of benzyl mercaptan or thiosalicylic acid; with excess benzyl mercaptan, it forms 3,4-di-S-benzyl coumarin. 3-Nitro-4-methoxycoumarin under the same conditions, with an equimolar ratio of reagents, forms a mixture of monosubstituted and disubstituted products. A mechanism is proposed for these reactions.For Communication 1, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1476–1479, November, 1991.
