Synthesis and crystal structure of diorganotin(IV) complexes with pyruvic acid benzoylhydrazone and pyruvic acid salicylhydrazone

Six diorganotin esters of Schiff-base ligands formulated as [R₂SnLY]₂, where L₁ is C₆H₅CON₂C(CH₃)CO₂ with Y?=?CH₃CH₂OH, R?=?mClC₆H₄CH₂ (1), oFC₆H₄CH₂ (2), pFC₆H₄CH₂ (3) and L₂ is 2-HOC₆H₄CON₂C(CH₃)CO₂ with Y?=?CH₃OH, R?=?oFC₆H₄CH₂ (4), pFC₆H₄CH₂ (5), mClC₆H₄CH₂ (6) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra. The crystal structures of complexes 1 and 4 have been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The structure analyses reveal that the Sn atom in both 1 and 4 is seven-coordinate in distorted pentagonal bipyramid geometries with a planar SnO₄N unit and two apical aryl carbon atoms, thus forming a dimeric molecule, which sits on a crystallographic center of symmetry. Intramolecular or intradimeric hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability and compactness of the crystal structures.     

Synthesis and characterization of complexes of organotin(IV) with 2-thiazoline-2-thione

The reaction of 2-thiazoline-2-thione (TZDSH) with SnR₂Cl₂ (R=Ph 1, Me 2, Bu 3) in dry ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide leads to [SnR₂(C₃H₄NS₂)₂] (1, 2, and 3), respectively. Reaction between TZDSH and SnPh₂Cl₂ in dichloromethane and dry ethanol in an inert atmosphere produces [SnPh₂Cl₂(C₃H₅NS₂)₂] (4). The yields of the products were over 80%. These new complexes have been characterized by IR, UV-Vis, multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry, as well as elemental analysis.     

A density-functional theory investigation on desorption of O2 on Sn（111） and its comparison with initial oxidation on the X（111） （X=Si,Ge, Sn,Pb） surfaces

<正>The first-principles calculations are performed to investigate the adsorption of O₂ molecules on an Sn（111） 2×2 surface.The chemisorbed adsorption precursor states for O₂ are identified to be along the parallel and vertical channels, and the surface reconstructions of Sn（lll） induced by oxygen adsorption are studied.Based on this,the adsorption behaviours of O₂ on X（111）（X=Si,Ge,Sn,Pb） surfaces are analysed,and the most stable adsorption channels of O₂ on X（111）（X=Si,Ge,Sn,Pb） are identified.The surface reconstructions and electron distributions along the most stable adsorption channels are discussed and compared.The results show that the O₂ adsorption ability declines gradually and the amount of charge transferred decreases with the enhancement of metallicity.     

Hyperfine Interaction of 111Cd in Fe3Sn Compound

The hyperfine interaction of ¹¹¹Cd in ferromagnetic Fe₃Sn compound was investigated by TDPAC in the paramagnetic region and below the Curie temperature. The results are compared with hyperfine magnetic fields and EFGs on ¹¹¹Cd and ¹¹⁹Sn in other stoichiometric Fe–Sn phases.

Review of the use of NMR spectroscopy to investigate structure,reactivity, and dynamics of lead soap formation in paintings

Heavy metal carboxylate or soap formation is a widespread deterioration problem affecting oil paintings and other works of art bearing oil-based media. Lead soaps are prevalent in traditional oil paintings because lead white was the white pigment most frequently chosen by old masters for the paints and in some cases for the ground preparations, until the development of other white pigments from approximately the middle of the 18th century on, and because of the wide use of lead-tin yellow. In the latter part of the 19th century, lead white began to be replaced by zinc white. The factors that influence soap formation have been the focus of intense study starting in the late 1990s. Since 2014, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies have contributed a unique perspective on the issue by providing chemical, structural, and dynamic information about the species involved in the process, as well as the effects of environmental conditions such as relative humidity and temperature on the kinetics of the reaction(s). In this review, we explore recent insights into soap formation gained through solid-state NMR and single-sided NMR techniques.     

Single-Metal-Encapsulated Double-Cage [Pt@Sn17]4−: An Exception from Group 14 Endohedral Clusters

Group 14 endohedral clusters containing a metal center inside usually possess a single cage topological structure, but here an unexpected single-metal-filled double-cage cluster, [Pt@Sn₁₇]⁴⁻ ( 1 a ) is reported. It can be seen as a combination of the more extended Pt-filled [Pt@Sn₉] cage and hollow [Sn₉] cage sharing a central Sn atom, which is offset from the central position. This double-cage species represents the largest group 14 intermetalloid cluster encapsulating a single transition metal atom. DFT calculations show that the capsule-like architecture of [Sn₁₇]⁴⁻, similar to that found in [Pt₂@Sn₁₇]⁴⁻, is unstable if filled with a single Pt atom and collapses to the title cluster 1 a upon geometry optimization. Deviation of the central Sn atom occurs due to the vibronic coupling as a consequence of pseudo-Jahn-Teller distortion leading to the bent C_s-symmetrical structure, in contrast to the more symmetrical D_2d cage previously reported in [Ni₂@Sn₁₇]⁴⁻.     

DFT Comparison the Performance of Pd10Sn5 and Pd10Ag5 Electrocatalyst for Reduction of CO2

CO₂ electrocatalysis as a hydrocarbon is a promising means of achieving economical CO₂-mediated hydrogen energy cycling. Hydrocarbons are renewable hydrogen storage materials. The development of reliable metal alloy electrocatalysts is an urgent but challenging task associated with such systems, although there is still a lack of precise reaction mechanism design. In this study, the performance of Pd₁₀Ag₅ alloy nanoparticles (NPs) and Pd₁₀Sn₅ alloy nanoparticles (NPs) on the electrocatalytic reaction of CO₂ was compare. The kinetic and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the selectivity of the Pd-based bimetallic catalyst to the C2 product is greater than that of C1, and the stability of Pd₁₀Ag₅ is better and less affected by the reaction environment. However, the catalytic performance of the Pd₁₀Sn₅ electrocatalyst in the liquid phase is the best. The insight obtained from the calculations is used to develop criteria for identifying new and improved catalysts for electrochemical CO₂ reduction.
