Series of compositions Bi2(M′xM1−x)4O9 (M′, M=Al, Ga, Fe; 0≤x≤1) with mullite-type crystal structure: Synthesis, characterization and O/O exchange experiment

Series of compositions Bi₂(M′_xM_1−x)₄O₉ with x=0.0, 0.1,…, 1.0 and M′/M=Ga/Al, Fe/Al and Fe/Ga were synthesized by dissolving appropriate amounts of corresponding metal nitrate hydrates in glycerine, followed by gelation, calcination and final heating at 800 °C for 24 h. The new compositions with M′/M=Ga/Al form solid-solution series, which are isotypes to the two other series M′/M=Fe/Al and Fe/Ga. The XRD data analysis yielded in all cases a linear dependence of the lattice parameters related on x. Rietveld structure refinements of the XRD patterns of the new compounds, Bi₂(Ga_xAl_1−x)₄O₉ reveal a preferential occupation of Ga in tetrahedral site (4 h). The IR absorption spectra measured between 50 and 4000 cm⁻¹ of all systems show systematic shifts in peak positions related to the degree of substitution. Samples treated in ¹⁸O₂ atmosphere (16 h at 800 °C, 200 mbar, 95% ¹⁸O₂) for ¹⁸O/¹⁶O isotope exchange experiments show a well-separated IR absorption peak related to the M-¹⁸O_c-M vibration, where O_c denotes the common oxygen of two tetrahedral type MO₄ units. The intensity ratio of M-¹⁸O_c/M-¹⁶O_c IR absorption peaks and the average crystal sizes were used to estimate the tracer diffusion coefficients of polycrystalline Bi₂Al₄O₉ (D=2×10⁻²² m²s⁻¹), Bi₂Fe₄O₉ (D=5×10⁻²¹ m²s⁻¹), Bi₂(Ga/Al)₄O₉ (D=2×10⁻²¹ m²s⁻¹) and Bi₂Ga₄O₉ (D=2×10⁻²⁰ m²s⁻¹).     

H_6P_2W_（18）O_（62）á18H_2O： A green and reusable catalyst for one-pot synthesis of pyrano[4,3-b]pyrans in water

A convenient,effcient and environmentally benign procedure has been developed for the synthesis of pyrano[4,3-b]pyran derivatives via a one-pot,three-component reaction of 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2-one,aldehydes and malononitrile in water using H6P2W18O62á18H2O as catalyst.Reusability of the catalyst and reaction media,short reaction times and easy isolation of products are some added advantages of the present methodology.     

Syntheses of dibenzo-18-crown-6 lariat isomers and their complexation with lanthanoid nitrates

Two constitutional isomers of dibenzo-18-crown-6 derivatives (6 and 7) were synthesised and their binding behaviours towards trivalent lanthanoid cations (La^3 + , Ce^3 + , Pr^3 + , Nd^3 + , Sm^3 + , Eu^3 + , Gd^3 +  and Tb^3 + ) were investigated. Both isomers expressed better binding affinities towards Sm^3 +  and Tb^3 +  than a group of other lanthanoids, as measured by the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) band intensity at ca. 425 nm using UV–vis spectroscopic method. Additionally, the trans isomer 7 was shown to have a higher binding ability than the cis isomer 6 towards Tb^3 + .

Hopf monads

We introduce and study Hopf monads on autonomous categories (i.e., monoidal categories with duals). Hopf monads generalize Hopf algebras to a non-braided (and non-linear) setting. In particular, any monoidal adjunction between autonomous categories gives rise to a Hopf monad. We extend many fundamental results of the theory of Hopf algebras (such as the decomposition of Hopf modules, the existence of integrals, Maschke's criterium of semisimplicity, etc.) to Hopf monads. We also introduce and study quasitriangular and ribbon Hopf monads (again defined in a non-braided setting).     

Conductance Study of Binding of Some Rb+ and Cs+ Ions by Macrocyclic Polyethers in Acetonitrile Solution

A conductance study of the interaction between Rb+ and Cs+ ions and18-crown-6 (18C6), dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (DC18C6), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6),dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8), and dibenzo-30-crown-10 (DB30C10) inacetonitrile solution has been carried out at various temperatures. The formationconstants of the resulting 1:1 complexes were determined from the molarconductance-mole ratio data and found to vary in the orderDC18C6 > 18C6 > DB30C10 > DB18C6 DB24C8for Rb+ ion andDC18C6 > 18C6 > DB30C10 DB24C8 > DB18C6for Cs+ ion. The enthalpy and entropy of complexation were determined fromthe temperature dependence of the formation constants. The complexes with the18-crowns are both enthalpy and entropy stabilized while, in the case of largecrown ethers, the corresponding complexes are enthalpy stabilized but entropydestabilized.     

Conductometric study of cationic and anionic complexes in propylene carbonate

Conductivity data are used to determine thermodynamic complex formation constants for cases in which both the initial electrolyte and the complexed electrolyte form ion pairs. Using the method described in the text, the complex formation constants of Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ with the crown ether 18-crown-6 and of Li⁺ with the ligand triphenylphosphine oxide in propylene carbonate have been evaluated from conductance data. The complexation of AgBr in propylene carbonate solutions of n-etrabutylammonium bromide has also been studied by the measurement of molar conductivities. The results of these studies indicate that ion pairing should not be neglected, even in high permittivity solvents such as propylene carbonate, and that the ion pair association constants correlate well with structural studies on cation-crown ether molecular conformations.     

Lê–Greuel type formula for the Euler obstruction and applications

The Euler obstruction of a function f   can be viewed as a generalization of the Milnor number for functions defined on singular spaces. In this work, using the Euler obstruction of a function, we establish several Lê–Greuel type formulas for germs f:(X,0)→(C,0)$f:(X,0)\to (\mathbb{C},0)$ and g:(X,0)→(C,0)$g:(X,0)\to (\mathbb{C},0)$. We give applications when g is a generic linear form and when f and g have isolated singularities.
