Long and short range spin-spin interactions in ErBaCuO

Dipolar spin-spin interactions play a crucial role as for the magnetic order in the compounds of the RBa₂Cu₃O_6+x family, (R = Dy, Er, Nd). However, inelastic neutron scattering data observed in ErBa₂Cu₃O₇ can be explained only if exchange interactions in addition to dipolar ones are taken into account.

Polarographic Behaviour of some Triazol Derivatives

Abstract

The polarographic behavior of some organic dyes such as nitro-benzo-triazol, amino-nitro-benzo-triazol, benzo-triazol azo thionaphthene carboxylic acid and 5-methyl imidazol 2-methyl benzo-triazol in aqueous buffered media has been studied. The results reveal that the reduction reactions occurred irreversibly under diffusion-control. The reduction mechanism of nitro-benzo-triazol and amino-nitro-benzo-triazol involve the consumption of six electrons in the form of one wave in acid and two waves in alkaline media. The electro-reduction of benzo-triazol azo thionsphthene carboxylic acid consumes four electrons. The mechanism proposed for that compound indicates that the triazol centre forms a radical as an intermediate state in alkaline medium. The reduction process of 5-methyl imidazole 2-methyl benzo-triazol contains two consumed electronic in acid media while four electrons are consumed in alkaline media.

Metal Complexes Derived from Hydrazoneoxime Ligands: I. Synthesis,Characterization and Magnetochemical Studies of (Acylhydrazoneoxime) Copper(II) Complexes

Reactions of 2-hydroxyimino-1-methylpropylidene (acetyl-) and (benzoylhydrazine) with copper(II) chloride, nitrate and acetate were studied. Three types of copper(II) complexes of general formula [Cu(H₂L)Cl₂], [{Cu(HL)}₂][sdot]2NO₃[sdot]nH₂O and [{Cu(L)}₂], where H₂L, HL, and L refer, respectively, to the neutral, monoanionic and dianionic ONN tridentate acylhydrazoneoxime ligands, were isolated and characterized. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements for [Cu(H₂L)Cl₂] suggest Curie-Weiss behavior. Both [{Cu(HL)}₂][sdot]2NO₃[sdot]nH₂O and [{Cu(L)}₂] show strong antiferromagnetic exchange coupling with ? 2J values of 898-934 and 718-757 cm^?1, respectively, indication dimeric structures with oximate bridges.     

First principles study of structural,magnetic and electronic properties of half-metallic CrO<Subscript>2</Subscript> under pressure

A first-principles tight-binding linear muffin tin orbital (TB-LMTO) method within the local-density approximation is used to calculate the total energy, lattice parameter, bulk modulus, magnetic moment, density of states and energy band structures of half-metallic CrO₂ at ambient as well as at high pressure. The magnetic and structural stabilities are determined from the total energy calculations. From the present study we predict a magnetic transition from ferromagnetic (FM) state to a non-magnetic (NM) state at 65 GPa, which is of second order in nature. We also observe from our calculations that CrO₂ is more stable in tetragonal phase (rutile-type) at ambient conditions and undergoes a transition to an orthorhombic structure (CaCl₂-type) at 9.6 GPa, which is in good agreement with the experimental results. We predict a second structural phase transition from CaCl₂- to fluorite-type structure at 89.6 GPa with a volume collapse of 7.3%, which is yet to be confirmed experimentally. Interestingly, CrO₂ shows half metallicity under ambient conditions. After the first structural phase transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic, half metallicity has been retained in CrO₂ and it vanishes at a pressure of 41.6 GPa. Ferromagnetism is quenched at a pressure of 65 GPa.     

New Synthetic Route and Characterisation of Phosphorus and Arsenic Heterocyclic Compounds

Herein we report synthetic routes for the preparation of 2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxarsenane 1 , O,O'-bis(5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxarsenane)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol 3 , 2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane 4 , and 2-fluoro-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane 5 . The new synthetic routes described here have the advantage to be simple, very clean and to lead to the desired compounds in very good yields. Compound 2-fluoro-1,3,2-dioxarsenane 2 also was prepared in good yield and is described here for the first time. Compounds 1-5 were fully characterized on the basis of NMR spectroscopic studies. Semi-empirical structural studies have been carried out and the results show that 1 and 2 exist as a mixture of two conformers, whereas only one conformer for 4 and 5 have been found. Variable temperature 1 H NMR studies reveal a fluxional behaviour for 1 and a mechanism for the inter-conversion between its two conformers is proposed.     

Theoretical Studies of PCl3/H2 Gas Chromatography Mechanism

Density functional theory B3LYP method was firstly applied to fully optimize the geometrical configuration of each stable point on PCl3/H2 gas chromatography reaction potential energy surface on the 6-311G** basis set, and single point energy was computed at the QCISD(T)/ 6-311G** level, then the transition state was validated by analyzing the unique imaginary vibration modes of each transition state and calculating intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC), and the major reaction and competing reaction paths of PCl3/H2 gas chromatography reaction were presented through comparing active energy barrier, and phosphor was finally gained from the reaction of PH and PCl.     

Charged-soft-sphere potentials for trivalent metal halides

Summary Octahedral-type coordination by halogens in the liquid state has been reported for a number of trivalent metal ions from diffraction and Raman scattering experiments on their molten trihalides and from Raman scattering spectroscopy of liquid mixtures of trihalides with alkali halides. We analyse the available data on bond lengths and Raman frequencies by treating an isolated (MX₆)³⁻ species within a model which adopts charged-soft-sphere interionic potentials supplemented by an account of ionic polarization. The trivalent metal ions that we consider are M=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy and Y for X=Cl and M=Al for X=F. The main result of the analysis is the prediction of trends in the soft-sphere repulsive parameters for the trivalent metal ions, leading to estimates of all the vibrational frequencies and the binding energy of such octahedral species. Due to the relevance of its scientific content, this paper has been given priority by the Journal Direction.

Nanostructures of gold coated iron core-shell nanoparticles and the nanobands assembled under magnetic field

Pure metal iron nanoparticles are unstable in the air. By a coating iron on nanoparticle surface with a stable noble metal, these air-stable nanoparticles are protected from the oxidation and retain most of the favorable magnetic properties, which possess the potential application in high density memory device by forming self-assembling nanoarrays. Gold-coated iron core-shell structure nanoparticles (Fe/Au) synthesized using reverse micelles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average nanoparticle size of the core-shell structure is about 8 nm, with about 6 nm diameter core and 1∼2 nm shell. Since the gold shell is not epitaxial growth related to the iron core, the morié pattern can be seen from the overlapping of iron core and gold shell. However, the gold shell lattice can be seen by changing the defocus of TEM. An energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS) also shows the nanoparticles are air-stable. The magnetic measurement of the nanoparticles also proved successful synthesis of gold coated iron core-shell structure. The nanoparticles were then assembled under 0.5 T magnetic field and formed parallel nanobands with about 10 μm long. Assembling two dimensional ordered nanoarrays are still under going.
