Hydrothermal synthesis, structure and quantum chemistry of transition metal complex supported by metal-oxo cluster [(Ni(phen)22 (ξ-Mo8O26)]

A nickel-1,10-phenanthroline complex supported on an octamolybdate, [(Ni(phen)_{2 2}(ξ-Mo₈O₂₆)], has been hydrothermally synthesized with MoO₃, H₂MoO₄, Ni(OAc)₂ 6H₃O and 1,10-phenathroline (1,10-phen) as raw materials. The crystals of the compound belong to monoclinic P2₁/n space group,a = 1.2952(2),b = 1.6659(10),c = 1.3956(12) nm, β =106.273(8)°,V = 2.8906(5) nm³,Z = 2. 5604 observable reflections (I >2σ(I)) were used for structure resolution and refinements to converge to finalR ₁ = 0.0414,wR ₂ = 0.0815. The result of structure determination shows that the compound contains octamolybdate possessing a novel structure type (named as ξ-isomer). The feature of ξ-[Mo₈O₂₆]^4- is that it is composed of Mo₆O₆ ring and two MoO₆ octahedral located at cap positions on opposite faces. The Mo₆O₆ ring contains two octahedral and four trigonal-bipyramidal Mo^VI atoms. Each ξ-[Mo₈O₂₆]^4- unit is bonded with two [Ni(phen)₂]²⁺ through terminal oxygen atoms of octahedral and neighbouring trigonal-bipyramidal Mo atom in the Mo₆O₆ ring. IR and UV-Vis spectra of the compound were measured and its electronic structure was studied by EHMO method.     

Synthesis of CuS@CoS2 Double‐Shelled Nanoboxes with Enhanced Sodium Storage Properties

Metal sulfides have received considerable attention for efficient sodium storage owing to their high capacity and decent redox reversibility. However, the poor rate capability and fast capacity decay greatly hinder their practical application in sodium‐ion batteries. Herein, an elegant multi‐step templating strategy has been developed to rationally synthesize hierarchical double‐shelled nanoboxes with the CoS₂ nanosheet‐constructed outer shell supported on the CuS inner shell. Their structure and composition enable these hierarchical CuS@CoS₂ nanoboxes to show boosted electrochemical properties with high capacity, outstanding rate capability, and long cycle life.     

Bi‐Microporous Metal–Organic Frameworks with Cubane [M4(OH)4] (M=Ni,Co) Clusters and Pore‐Space Partition for Electrocatalytic Methanol Oxidation Reaction

Embedding cubane [M₄(OH)₄] (M=Ni, Co) clusters within the matrix of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a strategy to develop materials with unprecedented synergistic properties. Herein, a new material type based on the pore‐space partition of the cubic primitive minimal‐surface net (MOF‐14‐type) has been realized. CTGU‐15 made from the [Ni₄(OH)₄] cluster not only has very high BET surface area (3537 m² g^?1), but also exhibits bi‐microporous features with well‐defined micropores at 0.86 nm and 1.51 nm. Furthermore, CTGU‐15 is stable even under high pH (0.1 m KOH), making it well suited for methanol oxidation in basic medium. The optimal hybrid catalyst KB&CTGU‐15 (1:2) made from ketjen black (KB) and CTGU‐15 exhibits an outstanding performance with a high mass specific peak current of 527 mA mg^?1 and excellent peak current density (29.8 mA cm^?2) at low potential (0.6 V). The isostructural cobalt structure (CTGU‐16) has also been synthesized, further expanding the application potential of this material type.

Picture change error correction in the radial distributions of canonical orbital densities and total electron density of radon atom: the effect of the size of nucleus and the basis set limit

The 2nd order Douglas-Kroll-Hess (DKH2) and the Infinite Order Two Component (IOTC) radial distributions of electron density of canonical Hartree-Fock (HF) orbitals of radon atom are presented. Furthermore, the total electron density is revisited. The picture change error (PCE) correction is investigated by analytical means. The point charge model of nucleus and the Gaussian nucleus model are employed. The basis set is extrapolated by means of including tight s and also p Gaussians within the original triple zeta basis set. It is found that the DKH1 PCE corrected DKH2 total electron and s orbital contact densities are negative for the point charge model of nucleus if tight enough s Gaussians are included in the basis set. It is shown that this failure is caused due to the missing terms of the second order Douglas-Kroll transformation for the DKH2 electron density. PCE is found the most striking in the DKH2/IOTC electron density of s orbitals close to the nucleus. The radial distributions of the 2-component p _1/2 orbital densities are considerably affected by PCE at the nucleus as well. Furthermore, the PCE corrected DKH2/IOTC scalar p orbital densities have a non-zero value of electron density at nucleus and can be considered as an spin-orbit (SO) average of the p _1/2 and p _3/2 orbitals. The d and f orbitals are affected by PCE in the vicinity of the nucleus only little. The PCE corrected DKH2 and IOTC radial distributions of orbital densities are nodeless, which is completely in agreement with the radial distribution of the analytic or numeric DCH orbital densities.     

Absorption and fluorescence emission spectroscopic characters of naphtho‐homologated yy‐DNA bases and effect of methanol solution and base pairing

A comprehensive theoretical study of electronic transitions of naphtho‐homologated base analogs, namely, yy‐T , yy‐C , yy‐A , and yy‐G , was performed. The nature of the low‐lying excited states is discussed, and the results are compared with those from experiment and also with those of y‐bases. Geometrical characteristics of the lowest excited singlet ππ* and nπ* states were explored using the CIS method, and the effects of methanol solution and paring with their complementary natural bases on the relevant absorption and emission spectra of these modified bases were examined. The calculated excitation and emission energies agree well with the measured data, where experimental results are available. In methanol solution, the fluorescence from yy‐A and yy‐G would be expected to occur around 539 and 562 nm, respectively, suggesting that yy‐A is a green‐colored fluorophore, whereas yy‐G is a yellow‐colored fluorophore. The methanol solution was found to red‐shift both the absorption and emission maxima of yy‐A , yy‐T , and yy‐C , but blue‐shift those for yy‐G . Generally, though base pairing has no significant effects on the absorption and fluorescence maxima of yy‐A , yy‐C , and yy‐T , it blue‐shifts those for yy‐G . © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
