Measurement of Hartmann-Hahn cross-polarization dynamics with quenching of proton T1ρ relaxation dependence

A simple modification of the standard cross-polarization method designed for quenching the proton T_1ρ dependence when studying polarization transfer is presented. It is demonstrated that by using this simple procedure, new and subtle details of cross-polarization dynamics, previously hidden by the T_1ρ(¹H) effect, can be observed in dipolar-coupled spin systems.     

A reply to “a comment on generalized electromagnetism and Dirac algebra”

Issues raised by W. A. Rodrigues, Jr. are discussed.1. This is not a new result; see,e.g., Rohrlich.⁽³⁾ 2. A typographical error in Eq. (77) is corrected here: The productj A in the right-hand parentheses was erroneously transcribed in Ref. (2) as A.3. I define electromagnetic fieldF = A to be that generated by electric charges and the magnetoelectric fieldG = M to be that generated by magnetic monopoles:F F +₅ G. 4. Rodrigues, on the other hand, takes the position that the importance of the Lagrangian formulation should be downgraded if not discarded altogether: ... it is redundant to look for Lagrangians.⁽¹⁾ 5. In fact, he reformulates it using the language of differential forms.6. It is interesting to observe that this bilinear form has the additional virtue of being appropriate for dealing with the monopolecharge parity question, which was pointed out long ago.⁽¹⁴⁾ 7. In fact, even mathematics looks to Nature for its authority.⁽¹⁶⁾ There is evidence that Rodrigues does not understand this concept.⁽¹⁷⁾

合成和表征了一种新的Schiff碱配合物MnL(ClO4)*3H2O(1)(其中L为n(水杨醛)∶n(二乙撑三胺)=1∶1缩合而成的Schiff碱).1与FeSO4*7H2O和K3[Fe(ox)3]*3H2O(ox=oxalate)进一步反应,生成了双金属层状配位聚合物{[MnL][FeⅡFeⅢ(ox)3]*1.5H2O}∞(2).IR和Mssbauer谱测定结果表明,2具有二维层状结构,其阴离子层由[FeⅡFeⅢ(ox)3]-单元构成.变温磁化率(5K～100K)测试结果表明,2中的自旋载体之间存在反铁磁交换作用.5K时的磁滞现象表明2在低温时可能存在铁磁有序,这可能是亚铁磁或自旋倾斜造成的.     

Heterogeneous ECE Processes at Channel Electrodes: Analytical Solution for all Reaction Rate Constants and Different Diffusion Coefficients

An analytical solution is developed for heterogeneous ECE processes occurring at channel electrode surface for both laminar and turbulent flow. The solution explicitly links the behavior of ECE processes and the parameters. A simple expression of the effective number of electrons transferred, covering all the reaction rate constants and different diffusion coefficients of the reactant A and the intermediate product B, is obtained. Excellent agreement with previous numerical and analytical results is shown . Parametric studies illustrate the effects of diffusion coefficients, hydrodynamic factors and reaction rate constants on the effective number of electrons transferred and the currents.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of liquid crystalline lanthanide complexes with alkylsulfate counterions

The reaction of Schiff"s base L with lanthanide alkylsulfates affords liquid crystalline complexes with the general formula L₃Ln(C_nH_2n+1OSO₃)₃. The liquid crystalline structure and magnetic properties are studied by polarization thermal microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and measurement of magnetic susceptibility. The temperatures of the existence of the mesophase and magnetic anisotropy of the complexes with the same lanthanide depend on the chain length of the alkyl fragment in the sulfate anion.     

Die Reaktion von SeCl4 mit Übergangsmetalltetrachloriden. Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von (SeCl3)2MCl6 mit M = Zr,Hf, Mo,Re

The Reaction of SeCl₄ with Transition Metal Tetrachlorides. Synthesis and Crystal Structures of (SeCl₃)₂MCl₆ with M = Zr, Hf, Mo, Re The transition metal tetrachlorides ZrCl₄, HfCl₄ and MoCl₄ react with SeCl₄ in closed ampoules at temperatures of 140°C to (SeCl₃)₂MCl₆ (M = Zr, Hf, Mo) which are all isotypic and crystallize in the (SeCl₃)₂ReCl₆ structure type (orthorhombic, Fdd2, Z = 8, lattice constants for M = Zr: a = 1165.7(1)pm, b = 1287.2(2)pm, c = 2180.2(2)pm; for M = Hf: a = 1162.9(2)pm, b = 1285.0(2)pm, c = 2178.2(3)pm; for M = Mo: a = 1153.8(1)pm, b = 1267.7(1)pm, c = 2147.4(2)pm). The Cl^? ions form a hexagonal closest packing with one fourth of the octahedral holes filled by Se⁴⁺ and M⁴⁺ in an ordered way. The MCl₆ octahedra are regular, the SeCl₆ octahedra are distorted with 3 short and 3 long Se? Cl bonds (mean 215 pm and 287 pm). The structures can thus be regarded as built of SeCl₃⁺ and MCl₆^2? ions. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show for M = Zr the expected diamagnetic behavior, for M = Mo and Re paramagnetic behavior according to the Curie-Weiss law with magnetic moments of 2.5 B. M. for M = Mo and 3.7 B. M. for M = Re corresponding to 2 and 3 unpaired electrons respectivly.

Proton magnetic relaxation study of water orientation around I− and Li+

Proton relaxation time measurements are performed for 6m aqueous solutions of⁷LiI and⁶LiI in D₂O containing small amounts of H₂O. The measurements are done at low temperatures and yield maxima of the relaxation rate plotted against 1/T. From the maxima of the relaxation rates, proteon-I^– and proton-Li⁺ distances in the first coordination sphere of the ions are determined, and from the knowledge of the ion-water oxygen distance it is shown that for iodide a somewhat broadened H-bonded configuration is valid and that for Li⁺ the electric dipole orientation deviates from the radial direction. In order to test the reliability of the method a proton-¹²⁷I interaction study is also performed in KI solution in glycerol. The I-H distance obtained is in satisfactory agreement with that found in the aqueous system.     

DySBr und DySI – Synthese,Kristallstruktur und Magnetismus

DySBr and DySI – Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Magnetism By reaction of Dy₂S₃ with Dy metal and Br₂ (I₂) at 750°C (900°C), single phase crystalline DySBr (DySI) has been synthesized. Crystal structure refinement of DySBr confirms the FeOCl-type structure (R = 0.049; space group Pmmn, Z = 2, lattice parameters (in Å): a = 5.349(2), b = 4.079(2), c = 8.066(2)) which is also ascertained for DySI (R = 0.059; lattice parameters (in Å): a = 5.320(2), b = 4.168(1), c = 9.224(5)). The magnetic susceptibilities (temperature range 3.4 K – 295 K) can be described on the basis of simple models (cubic crystal field, molecular field approximation) above 5 K and 15 K respectively. The deviations at low temperature are assumed to be related essentially to Dy—Dy exchange interactions which are not adequately described with the molecular field approach.
