Accuracy, precision and sensitivity in cyclic INAA with short-lived radionuclides

Repeated irradiation enhances the precision and sensitivity of INAA based on short-live radionuclides, but entail systematic losses due to dead time. The relative standard deviation in the net peak area decreases with the square root of the number of cycles while the systematic bias increases with it. The limits of decision, detection and determination decrease in a somewhat more complicated way with the number of cycles. The derived formulation is applied to the determination of selenium in hair by the 161.9 keV photopeak of^77mSe,T _1/2=17.8 s.     

Novel Z-selective head-to-head dimerization of terminal alkynes catalyzed by lanthanide half-metallocene complexes

Various terminal alkynes have been cleanly dimerized into the corresponding head-to-head (Z)-enynes by use of the half-metallocene lutetium alkyl complexes Me2Si(C5Me4)(NAr)Lu(CH2SiMe3)(THF) (Ar = Ph, C6H3Me2-2,6, C6H2Me3-2,4,6) as catalysts. Aromatic C-Cl, C-Br, and C-I bonds, which are known to be extremely susceptible to reductive cleavage by transition metals, survived in the present reactions. The corresponding dimeric alkynide species [Me2Si(C5Me4)(NAr)Lu(mu-CCR)]2 are thought to be the true catalysts, some of which have been isolated and structurally characterized. These alkynide species were thermally stable and soluble at the reaction temperatures (80-110 degrees C), but they precipitated upon cooling to room temperature after completion of the reaction. Therefore, this catalyst system works homogeneously but can be separated and reused, thus constituting the first example of a recyclable catalyst system for the dimerization of terminal alkynes and also the first example of (Z)-selective head-to-head dimerization of aromatic terminal alkynes.

The global topological meaning of cocycles in a Gauge group

This Letter shows explicitly that the descent sequence of cocycles in a gauge group realizes the ech-de Rham double complex. Meanwhile the ech complex corresponds to finite gauge transformations. This Letter also shows how the indices of each order of cocycles characterizes the obstructions on overlapping spheres in different dimensions and how these indices are equal to a common one.     

Self-assembly of a series of novel metal-organic compounds containing ferrocenecarboxylate components

Using FcCOONa (Fc = (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))Fe(eta(5)-C(5)H(4))) as starting material, we obtained an unprecedented metal-organic coordination polymer containing ferrocenecarboxylate components [[Pb(2)(FcCOO)(eta(2)-FcCOO)(mu(2)-eta(2)-FcCOO)(mu(3)-eta(2)-FcCOO)(CH(3)OH)].1.5CH(3)OH.H(2)O](n) (1), tetramer [Zn(4)(mu(2)-FcCOO)(6)(mu(4)-O)] (2), and coordination polymers [Pb(FcCOO)(mu(2)-FcCOO)(bpe)](n) (3) (bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene), [[Zn(FcCOO)(2)(bpt)].2.5H(2)O](n) (4) (bpt = N,N'-bis(3-pyridylmethyl)thiourea), and [Zn(FcCOO)(eta(2)-FcCOO)(bbp)](n) (5) (bbp = 4,4'-trimethylene-dipyridine). Compounds 1 and 2 are formed by ferrocenecarboxylate units coordinating with Pb(II) or Zn(II). In polymer 1, ferrocenecarboxylate units have four kinds of coordinate modes; just these novel coordinate modes lead to the unprecedented one-dimensional polymer where two kinds of rhomboids are arranged alternatively along the chain. Compound 2 is a tetramer, in which a distinct connectivity of the six ferrocene units is established through the four Zn atoms. Compounds 3-5 are obtained by organic ligands bridging Pb(II) or Zn(II), leading to a new type of metal-organic coordination polymer.     

溶液中芳香单酮的聚集态

Solid state synthesis and structure of two novel polyoxometalates [(n-Bu)4N]4[M6O19][Ag2I4](M?Mo,W)†

The reaction of [NH₄]₂[MO₂S₂], AgI and (n-Bu)₄NBr in solid state produced the polyoxometalates [(n-Bu)₄N]₄[M₆O₁₉][Ag₂I₄] (1, M? Mo; 2, M? W) which were structurally determined. The crystals of 1 and 2 are isomorphous, monoclinic, space group P2₁/c. 1, a = l.6624(2), b=1.6699(3), c=l.7217(2) nm, β=98.29(1)°, V=4.729(1) nm³, Z=2, R=0.040, R_w“0.037; 2, a = 1.6636(3), b = 1.6733(3), c = 1.7190(3) nm, β=98.25(1)°, V=4.736(l) nm³, Z = 2, R = 0.038, R_w = 0.047. The results of the structure determination showed that the two compounds had the same structures whose skeletons are composed of [Ag₂I₄]². and [M₆O₁₉]^2-. The difference of them and heteropolymetalate compounds synthesized in solution is that the title compounds contain cluster. ion, heteropolymetalate and organic cations, while the latter is only composed of heteropolymetalate and organic cations.

Unicyclic Graphs with Minimal Energy

If G is a graph and ₁,₂,..., _n are its eigenvalues, then the energy of G is defined as E(G)=|₁|+|₂|++| _n |. Let S _n ³ be the graph obtained from the star graph with n vertices by adding an edge. In this paper we prove that S _n ³ is the unique minimal energy graph among all unicyclic graphs with n vertices (n6).
