Orbital alignment in N2O photodissociation. I. Determination of all even rank anisotropy parameters

We present a general method for determination of the photofragment K=4 state multipoles in an ion imaging experiment. These multipoles are important for determining the full density matrix for any photofragment with j(a)> or =2. They are expressed in terms of laboratory frame anisotropy parameters that have distinct physical origins and possess characteristic angular distributions. The explicit expression for the (2+1) resonant multiphoton ionization absorption signal for the case of arbitrarily polarized probe light is derived and a procedure for isolation of the rank-4 state multipoles from all others is shown. This treatment is applied to the case of O((1)D) produced in the 193 nm photodissociation of N2O. The results show nonzero values for all K=4 anisotropy parameters, indicating the complexity of the photodissociation dynamics in this system.     

Crystal structure of (glycine) sodium nitrate Gly·NaNO3

The crystal structure of Gly·NaNO₃ was determined by single crystal diffraction methods (monoclinic crystal system, B11n, a = 14.339(3) Å, b = 9.136(3) Å, c = 5.263(3) Å, γ = 119.14(5)°). The structure is built from alternating layers of glycine organic molecules and inorganic layers consisting of Na⁺ ions and planar NO ₃ ^? ions stretching along the b axis. The surroundings of the Na atom include the oxygen atoms of the NO ₃ ^? groups and the oxygen atoms of glycine molecules. The structure has a system of hydrogen bonds.

Crystal Structure of [Co?6H2O][Co?4H2O?2Gly]?2SO4

The crystals of [Co6H₂O][Co4H₂O2Gly]2SO₄ were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (triclinic, P , a = 5.975(5), b = 15.469(5), c = 6.765(5) , =120.71(5), =83.23(5), =98.77(5)°). The structure contains complex cations of two types: [Co6H₂O]²⁺ and [Co4H₂O2Gly]²⁺ and SO ₄ ^2– anions linked by hydrogen bonds and electrostatic forces. Three chemically nonequivalent charged layers can be distinguished in the structure: one layer is formed by cobalt hexaaqua complexes, another by [Co4H₂O2Gly]^2– complexes, and the third layer consists of sulfate anions interlaying the former two. The layers alternate along the b axis and are connected by a 3D system of hydrogen bonds.

Structure of selenium and tellurium clusters in cavities of NaX zeolite

The structure of NaX zeolite crystals with the Se and Te atoms incorporated into the structure from their vapors has been studied. It is shown that selenium atoms form clusters in the shape of six-and four-membered rings located in the cuboctahedral cavities of the structure framework. Single Se₂ molecules are located in large cavities, whereas Te atoms form four-membered rings located in cuboctahedra. Large cavities are occupied by two alternating configurations of Te atoms forming either a chain consisting of 16 links or an eight-membered ring.
