On Chiral Space Groups and Chiral Molecules

This note explains the relationship (as well as the absence of a relationship) between chiral space groups and chiral molecules (which have absolute configurations).For a chiral molecule,which must crystallize in a chiral space group,the outcome of the absolute configuration determination must be linked to some other properties of the chiral crystal such as its optical activity for the observation to the relevant.     

Isolation and Spectroscopic Characterization of Protonated Mixed [Tetrakis (4-pyridyl)porphyrinato] (phthalocyaninato)Rare Earth (Ⅲ)Double-decker Compounds

IntroductionThe homoleptic sandwich~type porphyrinato and phthalocyaninato metal complexesRE (P) z and RE2 (P) 3 (RE =rare earth 1 P = Por or Pc) have been intensively studied over sev-eral decades due to their potential application in non-linear optical (NLO) materials, molecu-lar electronic and magnetic ..te.i.l.L1--l6j.The double-deckers have also aroused a growing interest as structural and spectroscopicsynthetic models for the dimmer of bacteriochlorophyl1 molecules in bacterial pho…

Compound 1 exhibits a rare two-fold interpenetrating CdSO4 type topology. The O-H...O hydrogen bonds stabilize the structure of 1.     

A Novel 3D Zn-La Heterometallic Coordination Polymer Involving in situ Glycinate Ligand Synthesis

One novel 3D 3d-4f coordination polymer, [LaZn(glc)(ox)2(H2O)2]n (1, glc = glycinate, ox = oxalate), was obtained by the in situ synthesis of glycinate from the reaction of tetrazole-1-acetic acid, sodium oxalate, zinc nitrate and lanthanide oxide in the presence of a trace quantity of nitric acid under hydrothermal conditions. Compound 1 is of monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 0.99601(9), b = 1.14592(10), c = 1.19107(10) nm and β = 108.7150(10)°. 1 exhibits an unusual 3D heterometallic coordination framework constructed by heterometallic dinuclear LaZn subunits and mixed ox and glc linkers with a uninodal 6-connected vme {33 .43 .58 .6} net.     

Sorption of inorganic nanoparticles in woven cellulose fabrics

Titanium dioxide was deposited from aqueous suspension onto cellulosic surfaces.Titania was sourced from Degussa (P25TM,70:30 anatase:rutile).Dry uptake of particles was shown to be rapid and dominant with one-third of the deposition occurring in less than 30 s and over one-half in the first minute.Isotherms were recorded to compare the rate of titanium deposition on dry and pre-wetted cotton.In the dry case uptake reached a maximum in 30 min whereas in the pre-wetted case the uptake was seen to continue beyond 180 min.A broad trend of higher deposition occurring at lower pH was seen,corresponding to the region where surface charges were opposite and thus attractive.Dry pickup was less significant at high pH.The response to varying ionic strength was complex and was attributed to the combined effect of charge screening,particle aggregation and consequent particle entrapment or occlusion.Titania deposition into the interstices of woven cotton sheets resulted in the formation of inorganic,nanoparticulate skeletons which could be isolated by controlled combustion of the cellulose and thus cotton was suggested to have potential for the templated synthesis of high surface area semiconductor materials.     

Sensitive redox speciation of neptunium by CE–ICP–MS

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was used to separate the neptunium oxidation states Np(IV) and Np(V), which are the only oxidation states of Np that are stable under environmental conditions. The CE setup was coupled to an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (Agilent 7500ce) using a Mira Mist CE nebulizer and a Scott-type spray chamber. The combination of the separation capacity of CE with the detection sensitivity of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) allows identification and quantification of Np(IV) and Np(V) at the trace levels expected in the far field of a nuclear waste repository. Limits of detection of 1?×?10^-9 and 5?×?10^-10 mol L^-1 for Np(IV) and Np(V), respectively, were achieved, with a linear range from 10^-9 to 10^-6 mol L^-1. The method was applied to study the redox speciation of the Np remaining in solution after interaction of 5?×?10^-7 mol L^-1 Np(V) with Opalinus Clay. Under mildly oxidizing conditions, a Np sorption of 31% was found, with all the Np remaining in solution being Np(V). A second sorption experiment performed in the presence of Fe²⁺ led to complete sorption of the Np onto the clay. After desorption with HClO₄, a mixture of Np(IV) and Np(V) was found in solution by CE–ICP–MS, indicating that some of the sorbed Np had been reduced to Np(IV) by Fe²⁺.     

Inclusive and exclusive measurements in the projectile breakup of 7Li

The inclusive and exclusive measurements were carried out for ⁷Li projectile breakup on ²⁷Al target at 48 MeV. In the inclusive data we have observed a broad peak around the beam velocity for alphas and tritons. The exclusive data for alpha-triton coincidences show good agreement with the post-form DWBA theory of breakup reactions.     

双(二吡啶胺)配体的二维和三维超分子配位聚合物的合成与晶体结构

从含4,4'-二吡啶胺结构单元的双(二吡啶胺) 桥联配体出发,采用溶剂热法合成了两个结构新颖的配位聚合物：[CdL1Br2]n?7.5nH2O (L1 = N,N,N′,N′-四(4-吡啶)-1,4-苯二胺) (1)和[Cu2L2(μ1,1,3-SCN)2]n?nMeOH (L2 = N,N-二(2-吡啶)-N',N'-二(4-吡啶)-1,4-苯二胺) (2),对它们进行了元素分析、红外光谱等表征,并用X-射线单晶衍射测定了其晶体结构。单晶测试结果显示,配合物1中配体L1的四个吡啶N原子均参与配位,桥联了4个Cd原子,每个Cd原子与四个吡啶 N 原子和两个溴配位,形成六配位的八面体构型。通过这些配位作用,最终形成包含 Kagome 结构的三维超分子网络。配合物2 是由一维柱状 {Cu(SCN)}n 链通过 L2 桥联生成的二维结构。有趣的是,L2中具有螯合能力的2,2'-二吡啶胺单元并未参与配位,只有4,4'-二吡啶胺单元中的两个吡啶N原子分别与一个 Cu(I) 配位,连接了相邻两条平行的{Cu(SCN)}n 链,生成二维结构。
