Residence times in kink sites and Markov chain model of alloy and intermetallic compound deposition

The concept of the residence time τ_ksp of an atom in a kink site has recently been suggested to understand the processes in electrochemical deposition of alloys and intermetallic compounds. Different kink sites with different residence times must be defined for alloys and intermetallic compounds. Based on this model, the finite Markov chain theory is applied to describe the selectivity of the growth process. An analytical relationship between the alloy composition and the metal ion concentrations in the electrolyte is derived. General model parameters are ratios g _i = K _ii/K _ij of equilibrium constants of the reaction of electrolyte ions with different kink sites on the surface (i, j representing different alloy components). These ratios are called selectivity constants. For simple conditions, the equation g _i ≈ τ_ii/τ_ij connects the g _i values with the residence times. The theory is tested in the deposition of alloys Co-Ni (anomalous co-deposition) and Ni-Mo (induced co-deposition). Additionally, Bi₂Te₃, an example of stoichiometric semiconductor deposition, is treated. Published in Russian in Elektrokhimiya, 2006, Vol. 42, No. 10, pp. 1216–1223.

包覆Y(OH)3的球形Ni(OH)2的电化学性能

利用软嵌式粉末电极技术研究了Y(OH)3包覆对球形Ni(OH)2电化学性能的影响. 循环伏安结果表明, 在球形Ni(OH)2的氧化过程中存在Ni(Ⅲ)和Ni(Ⅳ)的两步氧化反应, 产生的Ni(Ⅳ)不稳定, 能分解产生NiOOH和氧气, 所以可将Ni(Ⅲ)→Ni(Ⅳ)看作副反应. Y(OH)3包覆层对Ni(OH)2氧化过程后期的副反应, 特别是Ni(Ⅲ)→Ni(Ⅳ)具有较好的抑制作用. 由包覆后的Ni(OH)2制成的模拟电池表现出很好的高温性能, 在1C充放电条件下, 当Y的摩尔分数为1.61%时, 在60 ℃时所对应的容量保持率可达到25 ℃的92.7％; 当Y的摩尔分数仅为0.55 %时, 在60 ℃时所对应的质量比容量也可达到241.3 mA·h/g.     

卟啉作为信号传递介质的紫外可见光谱研究

合成了6种氨基酸水杨醛席夫碱(Sal-AA)：Sal-Gly(甘氨酸)、Sal-Phe(苯丙氨酸)、Sal-Arg(精氨酸)、Sal-Tyr(酪氨酸)、Sal-Met(甲硫氨酸)、Sal-Glu(谷氨酸)及其金属铜配合物。并分别在2种不同介质(三氯甲烷和甲醇)中，与四苯基卟啉TPP进行反应，研究了其紫外可见光谱性质，讨论了卟啉作为人工信号转导体系的传递介质，与氨基酸水杨醛席夫碱铜配合物的反应中，实现信号分子铜离子进一步传递的可能性以及溶剂对该信号传递的影响。结果表明，在三氯甲烷为溶剂时，除了Sal-Met的铜配合物之外，其余均能被TPP夺取而形成Metal TPP。而在以甲醇为溶剂时，只有Sal-Gly的铜配合物能被TPP所夺取。     

Phase Relations in the Ni–Mn–Ga Ternary System and Aging Effect on Shape Memory Properties of Ferromagnetic Ni<Subscript>2</Subscript>MnGa Sputtered Films

Summary. Isothermal sections of the Ni–Mn–Ga ternary phase diagram at 1073 and 1273 K were investigated over a wide range of alloy compositions. The range of the β-Ni₂MnGa phase, its equilibria with the γ-(Mn, Ni), α′-Ni₃Ga, and γ-Ni₃Ga₂ phases, and the liquidus and solidus lines were determined experimentally. The aging effect on the shape memory effect (SME) of Ni₂MnGa sputtered films was also investigated. The two-way SME of the constraint-aged films was confirmed by the temperature change.     

Physicochemical and structural properties of bacteriostatic sulfonamides: Theoretical study

A theoretical study at the Hartree–Fock and density functional theory levels is performed on sulfonamide‐type bacteriostatic compounds with the aim to provide an insight into their structure–activity relationship. The basicity of the p‐amino group is analyzed by means of the proton affinities and the protonation energies, showing that molecules presenting bacteriostatic activity are less basic, i.e., they are characterized by larger protonation energies and smaller proton affinities. The acidity of the amide group is analyzed through the deprotonation energy. The results reveal that the more acidic molecules present a larger bacteriostatic activity. This result is also confirmed from a study of bond orders. A bond order analysis of the amide group suggests that the electron attracting group in these molecules is responsible for the increase in acidity. The charge of the SO₂ group is also shown to be affected by the presence of the electron attracting group and consequently related to the acidity of the molecules. A geometric analysis shows that structures in which the amino group is more coplanar with respect to the benzenic ring possess larger bacteriostatic activity. A conformational analysis of these molecules illustrates that active molecules have relatively larger torsion energy barriers. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Molecular Recognition of Nucleic Acid Bases in Water by Hydrogen Bonding of Poly(vinyldiaminotriazine)

Poly(2-vinyl-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine) efficiently binds nucleic acid bases and nucleosides in water by using complementary hydrogen bonding. The binding activity decreases in the order: U, T > A C, G. The corresponding monomer shows virtually no activity, indicating a predominant role of polymer effect for the molecular recognition in water.     

A novel indicator series for measuring pKa values in acetonitrile

A series of substituted azobenzene dyes was found to span a range of 8 pK_a units in acetonitrile. The UV absorption spectra of the dyes are responsive to protonation, changing in both absorption maximum and intensity. These characteristics make the dyes useful as indicators for the measurement of pK_a values of neutral organic bases that absorb in the visible region of the spectrum.
