Synthesis,crystal structures and electrochemical properties of group 6 metal carbonyl anion complexes

A series of [M(CO)₅I]⁻ and [M₂(CO)₁₀I]⁻ anion complexes have been synthesized by the photochemical reaction of PhCH₂N(CH₃)₃I or FcCH₂N(CH₃)₃I (Fc=ferrocenyl) with M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo or W), and characterized by elemental analyses, i.r., ¹H-n.m.r. and ¹³C-n.m.r. spectra in the case of the molybdenum and tungsten complexes. These complexes exhibit considerably different electrochemical behavior, when investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structures of [PhCH₂N(CH₃)₃][Cr(CO)₅I] and [FcCH₂N(CH₃)₃][W₂(CO)₁₀I] have been determined by X-ray diffraction, indicating that only weak contacts maybe exist between anions and cations by the I...H bond in the former, and there are no direct interactions between anions and cations in the latter.     

Current Trend in Synthesis,Post‐Synthetic Modifications and Biological Applications of Nanometal‐Organic Frameworks (NMOFs)

Since the early reports of MOFs and their interesting properties, research involving these materials has grown wide in scope and applications. Various synthetic approaches have ensued in view of obtaining materials with optimised properties, the extensive scope of application spanning from energy, gas sorption, catalysis biological applications has meant exponentially evolved over the years. The far‐reaching synthetic and PSM approaches and porosity control possibilities have continued to serve as a motivation for research on these materials. With respect to the biological applications, MOFs have shown promise as good candidates in applications involving drug delivery, BioMOFs, sensing, imaging amongst others. Despite being a while away from successful entry into the market, observed results in sensing, drug delivery, and imaging put these materials on the spot light as candidates poised to usher in a revolution in biology. In this regard, this review article focuses current approaches in synthesis, post functionalization and biological applications of these materials with particular attention on drug delivery, imaging, sensing and BioMOFs.

Fabrication of hexaphenylsilole nanowires and their morphology-tunable photoluminescence.

Immersion of nanoporous alumina membranes into saturated solutions of hexaphenylsilole with subsequent solvent evaporation affords aligned organic nanowires. The luminescent properties of the hexaphenylsilole nanowires can be manipulated by varying their morphologies, which were controlled by changing the channel sizes of the alumina templates.     

Fibers and 3D mesh scaffolds from biodegradable starch-based blends: production and characterization

The aim of this work is the production of fibers from biodegradable polymers to obtain 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering of hard tissues. The scaffolds required for this highly demanding application need to have, as well as the biological and mechanical characteristics, a high degree of porosity with suitable dimensions for cell seeding and proliferation. Furthermore, the open cell porosity should have adequate interconnectivity for a continuous flow of nutrients and outflow of cell metabolic residues as well as to allow cell growth into confluent layers. Blends of corn starch, a natural biodegradable polymer, with other synthetic polymers (poly(ethylene vinyl alcohol), poly(epsilon-caprolactone), poly(lactic acid)) were selected for this work because of their good balance of properties, namely biocompatibility, processability and mechanical properties. Melt spinning was used to produce fibers from all the blends and 3D meshes from one of the starch-poly(lactic acid) blends. The experimental characterization included the evaluation of the tensile mechanical properties and thermal properties of the fibers and the compression stiffness, porosity and degradation behavior of the 3D meshes.

A vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometric study of acetone

The photoionization and dissociative photoionization of acetone have been studied at the photon energy range of 8-20 eV. Photoionization efficiency spectra for ions CH3COCH3+, CH3+, C2H3+, C3H3+, C3H5+, CH(2-)CO+, CH3CO+, C3H4O+, and CH3COCH2+ have been measured. In addition, the energetics of the dissociative photoionization has been examined by ab initio Gaussian-3 (G3) calculations. The computational results are useful in establishing the dissociation channels near the ionization thresholds. With the help of G3 results, the dissociation channels for the formation of the fragment ions CH3CO+, CH2CO+, CH3+, C3H3+, and CH3COCH2+ have been established. The G3 results are in fair to excellent agreement with the experimental data.

Preparation of Ce-Zr-O solid solution

A single phase solid solution of Ce-Zr-O can be made by using NH₄HCO₃ solution as precipitating agent. The influence of preparation conditions, such as pH, Zr⁴⁺/(CO₃ ^2-+HCO₃ ^-) and Ce³⁺/Zr⁴⁺ ratio on the formation of the solid solution were investigated. The results show that a single phase Ce-Zr-O solid solution can be formed only under a narrow window of preparation conditions, indicating that some compounds are formed in the precipitating process. The compound may contain Ce³⁺, Zr⁴⁺, CO₃ ^2-, HCO^3-, and OH^-. The solid solution so prepared can be described as Ce_0.37Zr_0.63O₂.
