Geometry and electronic structure of a heterometallic cluster Mo<Subscript>2</Subscript>Mg<Subscript>2</Subscript> in different oxidation states of Mo: a DFT study

Reduction of tetranuclear heterometallic complex Mo₂Mg₂ was simulated using the B3LYP and PBE density functional methods. The results of geometry calculations of the initial complex [Mo^VIO₂Mg(MeOH)₂(OMe)₄]₂ and a partially reduced Mo^V complex are in good agreement with experimental data. The reduced Mo^III complex is characterized by a decrease in the binding energy of aqua ligands. Structural rearrangement of the complex with release of a coordination position at the Mo atoms requires small energy expenditure. One can assume that the reduction of the polynuclear complex causes overcrowding of its coordination sphere, which favors formation of dinitrogen complexes.

Hochschild Cohomologies of the Algebra of Smooth Functions

Based on the previously developed technique using the Laplace transformation of distributions with compact support, we calculate the Hochschild cohomologies of the algebra of smooth functions on a finite-dimensional real vector space with coefficients in the adjoint representation.     

The millimeter wave spectrum of the CO dimer

The millimeter wave spectrum of the isotopically substituted CO dimer, (¹³C¹⁶O)₂, has been studied for the first time, confirming and extending a recent infrared study. Eighty-seven transitions in the 77-180 GHz region have been assigned and analyzed in terms of a model-independent term value scheme involving 57 rotational levels with J=0-8. The levels can be classified into 7 “stacks” which have symmetry classifications of either A⁻/B⁺ or A⁺/B⁻ and K-values of either 0 or 1. For the normal isotope, symmetry and nuclear spin statistics cause alternate rotational levels to be missing, but for (¹³C¹⁶O)₂ all levels are present with an intensity alternation of 1:3 between A and B symmetries. The four A⁻/B⁺ stacks have not previously been observed, and the lowest of them establishes the tunneling splitting of (¹³C¹⁶O)₂ to be 3.769 cm⁻¹, slightly larger than the (¹²C¹⁶O)₂ value of 3.731 cm⁻¹. A large amount of precise experimental data is now available for the CO dimer, which should lead to greater theoretical insight into its structure and tunneling dynamics.     

NMR studies on a palladium(II) complex containing an incompletely coordinated facultative pentadentate Schiff base ligand

Palladium(II) dichloride reacts with 1,10‐bis(2‐pyrrolyl)‐2,5,9‐triaza‐1,9‐decadiene to give a [Pd(C₁₅H₂₀N₅)]Cl complex in which the ligand is four‐coordinated, leaving one pyrrole group dangling. By using COSY, gHSQC, gHMBC connectivities and NOE experiments it has been concluded that one linkage isomer exists in DMSO solution, in spite of the fact that different sets of N atoms of potentially pentadentate ligand might be involved in coordination, and that the three chelate rings in the complex cation are arranged in a sequence: five‐membered, six‐membered, five‐membered which is different from that (5–5–6) found by x‐ray studies on the related [Ni(C₁₅H₂₀N₅)]Cl compound. NMR studies allowed an unambiguous assignment of all ¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances for the complex. Results of x‐ray structural analysis of [Pd(C₁₅H₂₀N₅)](CH₃COO)H₂O supported the five‐membered, six‐membered, five‐membered ring sequence in the [Pd(C₁₅H₂₀N₅)]⁺ complex cation and show an E (trans) orientation of the dangling pyrrole group with respect to the metal center.

双金属氰化络合物催化剂的形态及其对催化剂活性的影响

合成了多个基于钴氰化锌的双金属氰化络合物(DMC)催化剂,并对催化剂的结晶形态进行了表征.考察了制备过程中,有机配体及其引入方式,温度,搅拌速度对DMC催化剂形态的影响.其中有机配体对DMC催化剂形态的影响是最主要的.有机配体中富电子原子的电负性的强弱和数量共同影响着DMC催化剂的形态.该类原子的电负性越强,得到的DMC催化剂的结晶性越差,无定型部分的比例越高,并且单个原子的电负性强弱比该类原子的数量在此间的影响更大.而在有机配体预先存在的情况下,该沉淀体系则更有利于无定型部分的产生.在30℃左右的沉淀反应温度下,得到的DMC催化剂的无定型部分比例最高.在有机配体存在的情况下,搅拌速度对DMC催化剂形态的影响有限.并且发现存在于有机配体中的DMC催化剂随着时间的推移,形态会发生变化.初步揭示了DMC催化剂的形态与其催化活性间的关系.而无定型态的DMC催化剂更有利于PO的聚合.     

Determination of contact stresses in problems on bending of a package of transversely isotropic bars

A mechanomathematical model for bending of packages of transversely isotropic bars of rectangular cross section is proposed. Adhesion, slippage, and separation zones between the bars are considered. The resolving equations for deflections and tangential displacements are supplemented with a system of linear differential equations for determining the normal and tangential contact stresses, and boundary conditions are formulated. A scheme for analytical solution of two contact problems—a package under the action of a distributed load and a round stamp—is considered. For these packages, a transition is performed from the initial system of differential equations for determining the contact stresses, where the unknown functions are interrelated by recurrent relationships, to one linear differential equation of fourth order and then to a system of linear algebraic equations. This transition allows us to integrate the initial system and get expressions for the contact stresses.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 40, No. 6, pp. 761–778, November–December, 2004.

Magnetic silica colloids for catalysis

Monodisperse magnetizable colloidal silica particles in a stable dispersion have been functionalized with a homogeneous catalyst: a PCP–pincer Pd-complex. In a proof-of-principle experiment we demonstrate the catalytic activity of the colloids in a C–C bond formation reaction. Advantages of the magnetic silica carriers are the large surface-to-volume ratio and the easy recovery by magnetic separation. After magnetic separation, the catalyst-loaded particles are readily redispersed for further use.
