XPS and AES characterization of hydrolysed γ‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane deposited on Al,Zn and Al–43.4Zn–1.6Si alloy‐coated steel

In this paper Al, Zn and Al–43.4Zn–1.6Si (AlZn) alloy‐coated steel have been treated with the organofunctional silane γ‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (γ‐MPS). The influence of different metal substrates on the structure and composition of the silane films was investigated with XPS and AES. The films were obtained by dipping the substrates in the silane solution followed by a blow‐dry procedure in nitrogen gas. The results show that the surface concentration of the deposited silane is independent of the metal substrate and that the thickness of the silane film is non‐uniform. The AES measurements indicate that the silane film covers the entire substrate surface and XPS analysis of the silane‐treated substrate surfaces at different take‐off angles indicates that the γ‐MPS molecule is randomly orientated. Also, the results show that the silane is well hydrolysed under the solution conditions used. Finally, in the zinc‐containing silane‐metal systems, i.e. the silane‐treated AlZn and Zn substrates, the results indicate that the γ‐MPS molecules can bond to the substrate surfaces via the thiol group of the molecule.

Chiral Recognition in π Complexes of Alkenes,Aldehydes, and Ketones with Transition Metal Lewis Acids; Development of a General Model for Enantioface Binding Selectivities

Prochiral alkenes, aldehydes, and ketones constitute the most frequently used starting materials for enantioselective organic syntheses. Protocols often involve chiral binding agents or Lewis acids that can give two diastereomeric adducts, the ratios of which are measures of chiral recognition. With π adducts, the diastereomers differ in the enantioface of the C?C or O?C group bound to the Lewis acid. This review provides the first comprehensive analysis of such equilibria and related binding phenomena with chiral transition metal Lewis acids. An extensive body of data from the authors' laboratory for complexes of the pyramidal rhenium fragment [(η⁵?C₅H₅)Re(No)(PPh₃)]⁺ ( I ) affords particular insight. Literature data for other complexes are also summarized. A general model for chiral recognition based upon the relative steric properties of four quadrants is presented. This enables binding selectivities to be individually and rationally optimized for different classes of ligands. Electronic effects are also identified and correlated with specific structural properties. Relationships between binding equilibria, reactivity, and product configurations are discussed.

Kinetics of formation of a linear polymer-polymer network system in the presence of 3d metal chelates

For semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) based on an incompatible polyurethane network/linear polymethylmethacrylate pair formed in situ in the presence of 3d metal chelates, we have studied the effect of the system composition on the kinetics of formation of the components and the nature of complex formation between the metal compound and the polymer matrix. The ratio of the system components has been shown to have an effect on the selection of the macroligand in formation of complexes of the metal chelate with the polar groups of the semi-IPN, where the general character of the kinetic behavior for the formation of the network and the linear polymer is preserved. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 6, pp. 351–356, November–December, 2006.     

新型含葡萄糖基手性Salen配体及其Mn3+、Fe3+、Co2+、Cu3+配合物的合成与表征

A novel chiral Salen ligand with a glucose moiety was synthesized from the condensation of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-methylene-[5-(3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy benzaldehyde)]-α-D-glucofuranose with (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. Several chiral complexes of Mn³⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺ and Cu²⁺ were prepared from this ligand. Both the ligand and the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, IR, MS, and UV-Vis.

采用粉末冶金方法制备了La2O3，Y2O3-Mo次级发射材料，测试了各种材料的次级发射系数。结果表明在钼中加入稀土氧化物可以具有很好的次级发射性能。经过激活处理后，材料的最大次级发射系数均高于2．0，达到了材料使用要求的发射水平。应用扫描电镜(SEM)和光电能谱仪(XPS)研究了稀土元素在烧结体断口和发射前后在试样表面的分布情况。分析结果表明稀土元素易于在晶界处偏聚，且发射后试样表面稀土元素的相对浓度明显高于发射前的浓度。     

On-site preconcentration and trace metal ions determination in the Okavango Delta water system, Botswana

Microcolumns containing 8-hydroxyquinoline azo-immobilized on controlled pore glass were incorporated in a field sampler for on-site collection, isolation and preconcentration of trace metal ions in waters of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. Sequestered trace metal ions were recovered by elution with 0.5 ml of 1.5 M nitric acid, and determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). This sampling and enrichment method minimizes sample contamination, and collection of large volumes of water samples for transporting, over long distances, to analytical laboratories is avoided.Data reported comprise one of the initial surveys on trace metal ion concentrations in waters of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. In waters with more efficient mixing, dissolved metal ion concentrations found were generally low with slightly elevated levels of manganese (7-19 μg l⁻¹), zinc (2.7-4.8 μg l⁻¹), nickel (0.2-2.5 μg l⁻¹) and copper (0.3-2.1 μg l⁻¹). For each trace metal ion, concentration levels seem to reflect zones of varying water conveyance, and show no obvious temporal and spatial variations apart from a slight increment from the inlet in the upper Delta to the outlets in the lower Delta.     

Homo-dinuclear σ-alkynyl complexes: past, present and opportunities

Homo-dinuclear alkynyl complexes with a distinct metal–metal bond constitute a rapidly growing field, where the focus is placed on compounds based on ruthenium, molybdenum, tungsten or rhodium. Interesting characteristics of these complexes include paramagnetism, intense charge-transfer absorptions, tunable bridging ligands, which may not be easily accessible in mononuclear acetylide systems. These complexes have significant potential for use in both molecular electronics and supramolecular chemistry. In this short account, previous work in this area is assessed, and each of the major groups of complexes is discussed in terms of both the synthetic strategies and structural motifs.
