SCF discrete-variational Xα calculations of the NH4Cl Auger spectrum

Formalism for calculations of the singlet and triplet Auger energies within the Xα model is presented. Using this method the KVV Auger spectrum of NH₄Cl is calculated and the theoretical intensities are determined within a one-center approximation. The calculated spectrum reproduces quite well all the main features observed for solid NH₄Cl. A new interpretation of the spectrum is suggested.     

Migration of radiocesium in a zeolite-solution system

Some properties of natural zeolite from Zaloka gorica, Slovenia, Yugoslavia were investigated to establish its applicability in solidification and for storage purposes of radioactive waste. It was found that this material is a rather good sorber for cesium, with a capacity of about 0.6 meq g^–1. The migration rate of Cs⁺ in a system ion exchanger-aqueous solution was investigated and correlated with the sorption behaviour of cesium in a system. The leaching rate of cesium from concrete containing zeolite was measured.     

The stability constant ratios of tri-N-octyl amine hydrochloride and bisulphate

The equilibria between the solution of TOA in toluene and mixtures of sulphuric and hydrochloric acid been studied. They were characterized by ratios of stability constants of amine salts formed in the organic phase.     

Ultrafine molybdenum carbide nanoparticles supported on nitrogen doped carbon nanosheets for hydrogen evolution reaction

Nitrogen doped carbon nanosheets supported molybdenum carbides nanoparticles (Mo_xC/NCS) have been synthesized by tuning the mass ratio of melamine and ammonia molybdate. The Mo₂C/NCS-10 exhibits superior electrocatalytic performance and stability for HER, which was attributed to N-doped carbon nanosheets, small particle size, mesoporous structure, and large electrochemical active surface area.     

Built to order: molecular tinkertoys from the [Re(6)(mu(3)-Se)(8)](2+) clusters

Ligand substitution of [Re(6)(mu(3)-Se)(8)(PEt(3))(5)(CH(3)CN)](SbF(6))(2) (1) with pyridyl-based ligands, 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine (L1) and 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine (L2), produced respectively the star-shaped tricluster (T1) and tetracluster (T2) arrays, wherein three (T1) and four (T2) units of the [Re(6)(mu(3)-Se)(8)](2+) core-containing clusters are interconnected by the corresponding bridging ligands. These novel supramolecular assemblies were characterized by a combination of NMR ((1)H and (31)P) spectroscopy, ESI-MS, and microanalysis. The molecular and solid-state structures of T1 have also been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesis and Structure of MnCl2(HDpyF) (HDpyF = N,N′‐di(2‐pyridyl)formamidine): New Crystallographic Disorder and Bonding Mode of the HDpyF Ligand

The reaction of N,N′‐di(2‐pyridyl)formamidine (HDpyF) with MnCl₂‐4H₂O afforded the complex MnCl₂(HDpyF), which was characterized by X‐ray crystallography. The HDpyF ligand chelates to the Mn(II) center through the first and the third nitrogen atoms to form a six‐membered ring, leaving the second and the fourth nitrogen atoms uncoordinated. The HDpyF ligand is crystallographically disordered such that two different molecules can be solved. The neutral HDpyF ligand adopts the new s‐cis‐syn‐s‐trans conformation.

Preparation of poly(methyl methacrylate) and copolymers having enhanced thermal stabilities using sucrose-based comonomers and additives

A series of methyl methacrylate polymers have been prepared containing sucrose-based crosslinkers and additives. Thermogravimetry and long-term aging studies at 200°C show that sucrose-based alkyl and allyl ethers provide unprecedented thermal stability to linear, as well as crosslinked, poly (methyl methacrylate) or PMMA. Linear PMMA and PMMA crosslinked with trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) both degrade at 284°C. PMMA containing octa-O-crotylsucrose (1 mol %) degraded at 322°C. Depending on concentration, PMMA containing octa-O-allylsucrose (0.1-1.0 mol % and higher) degraded between 334 and 354°C, and PMMA containing 1′,6,6′-trimethacryloyl-2,3,3′,4,4′-penta-O-methylsucrose (0.1-1.0 mol %) degraded between 309 and 320°C. PMMA containing (1 mol % each) sucrose-based esters, ester-ether derivatives, all degraded at or below the degradation temperature of pure PMMA. Long-term air aging studies revealed that PMMA containing penta-O-methylsucrose trimethacrylate, octa-O-allylsucrose, and octa-O-crotylsucrose did not flow or sag after heating for 24 h at 200°C, but the polymers did show yellowing. While linear and crosslinked samples of PMMA containing compounds other than sucrose ethers lost more than 50% of their original weight within 15 h at 200°C, PMMA containing sucrose-based ethers lost about 8 and 20% of their original weight after 1 and 8.5 days, respectively. Herein we propose a unique mechanism by which saccharide ethers may be imparting this unprecedented thermal stabilization to PMMA. While tertiary hydrogens alpha to oxygens in saccharide ethers are stable to chain transfer during normal polymerization temperatures, they readily chain transfer at 200°C where PMMA is unstable. Chain transfer of these hydrogens is followed by fragmentation to produce alkyl, allyl or crotyl radicals, which combine with the macroradicals and terminate depropagation. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
