Synthesis and characterization of two new asymmetrical branched amines and related Mn(II) and Ni(II) Schiff base complexes containing pyridine moieties: Crystal structures of Mn(II) and Ni(II) complexes and their antibacterial properties

Two new branched pentadentate amines (N₅), 3,7-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-5,5-dimethyl-3,7-diazaheptane-1-amine (1) and 4,8-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-6,6-dimethyl-4,8-diaza octane-1-amine (2) have been prepared. These have been used to synthesis two new Schiff base complexes containing a pyridine and 2-pyridylmethyl pendant arm, by template [1+1] condensation of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde with the amines in the presence of Mn(II) in methanol. Elemental and spectral results are used to characterize the complexes and their structures are confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The structure of MnL¹(ClO₄)₂ indicates that in the solid state the Mn(II) ion adopts a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal structure of [Ni(1)(MeCN)](ClO₄)₂ is also reported and exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Also the synthesized complexes were screened for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (Lio), Serratia marcescens (PTCC 1330), Staphylococcous aureus (ATCC 6633), and Proteus vulgaris (Lio) and results showed that the all complexes have antibacterial effects and [NiL¹](ClO₄)₂, [MnL²](ClO₄) and [MnL¹](ClO₄)₂ have more effective ones against E. coli.

Structural study and physical properties of a new phosphate KCuFe(PO4)2

Single crystals of a new phosphate KCuFe(PO₄)₂ have been prepared by the flux method and its structural and physical properties have been investigated. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with the space group P2₁/n and its parameters are: a=7.958(3) Å, b=9.931(2) Å, c=9.039(2) Å, β=115.59(3)° and Z=4. Its structure consists of FeO₆ octahedra sharing corners with Cu₂O₈ units of edge-sharing CuO₅ polyhedra to form undulating chains extending infinitely along the b-axis. These chains are connected by the phosphate tetrahedra giving rise to a 3D framework with six-sided tunnels parallel to the [101] direction, where the K⁺ ions are located. The Mössbauer spectroscopy results confirm the exclusive presence of octahedral Fe³⁺ ions. The magnetic measurements show the compound to be antiferromagnetic with C_m=5.71 emu K/mol and θ=−156.5 K. The derived experimental effective moment μ_ex=6.76μ_B is somewhat higher than the theoretical one of μ_th=6.16μ_B, calculated taking only into account the spin contribution for Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ cations. Electrical measurements allow us to obtain the activation energy (1.22 eV) and the conductivity measurements suggest that the charge carriers through the structure are the potassium cations.     

Non-bilayer formation in the DPPE-DPPG vesicle system induced by deep rough mutant of Salmonella minnesota R595 lipopolysaccharide

The vesicle system consisting of 80 mol% dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) and 20 mol% dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) undergoes to structural changes caused by various concentrations of Salmonella minnesota R595 lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The phenomenon was investigated by methods applying small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS), calorimetry (DSC) and freeze-fracture. In the low LPS concentration regime (investigated at 0.02 LPS/DPPE–DPPG molar ratio) a phase separation was observed. Two kind of domains are formed which are rich and poor in DPPE and in these domains cubic and lamellar structures are present, respectively. Increasing the LPS concentration up to 0.1 LPS/DPPE–DPPG molar ratio the phase separation is more expressed and the temperature domains of the phase transitions are more different. Increasing the temperature chain melting of the lamellar phase occurs first and destruction of the cubic phase is observed later. At high LPS concentration (equimolar ratio of LPS/DPPE–DPPG), where this amphiphilic molecule cannot be considered any more a guest molecule, the cubic structure dominates the phase behaviour of the LPS molecules.     

In situ X-ray diffraction study of reduction processes of Fe3O4- and Fe1−xO-based ammonia-synthesis catalysts

The temperature-programmed reduction process of two types of industrial ammonia-synthesis catalysts, A110 and ZA-5, which are, respectively, based on Fe₃O₄ and Fe_1−xO precursors, were studied by in situ X-ray power diffraction (XRD). It has been found that the ZA-5 has lower reduction temperature and faster reduction rate, and its active phase α-Fe possesses a higher value of lattice microstrain than A110. The simulation based on Rietveld refinement has also shown that the shape of α-Fe grain of ZA-5 has a mixed shape of cube and sphere with more exposing (111) and (211) planes, while that of A110 looks like a concave cube with more exposing (110) planes. Based on the results obtained, a growth model of α-Fe during the reduction of Fe₃O₄- and Fe_1−xO-based ammonia-synthesis catalysts is proposed, and the origins for the activity difference has been also discussed.     

La2O3对费-托合成沉淀铁催化剂的影响

制备了一系列不同La2O3含量(100Fe/2.8Si/nLa,n=0,0.5,1,2,4,原子比)的沉淀铁费-托合成催化剂,通过原位X射线衍射、一氧化碳程序升温还原和N2吸附-脱附等手段对催化剂进行了表征.催化剂费-托反应评价在固定床反应器中进行.结果表明,少量La2O3助剂(La/Fe≤0.01,原子比)的加入显著降低了Fe2O3颗粒大小,增加了催化剂的比表面积和分散度,有利于碳化铁的形成,从而导致费-托合成催化活性的提高.随着La2O3含量的进一步增加(La/Fe≥0.02),催化剂表面大量La2O3的覆盖和LaFeO3化合物的形成降低了铁碳化物的形成,反应活性反而降低.因此,最适宜的La2O3含量为La/Fe=0.01.La2O3的加入提高了甲烷的选择性,抑制了C5+碳氢化合物的形成.

Crystal structures and chemistry of double perovskites Ba2M(II)M′(VI)O6 (M=Ca, Sr, M′=Te, W, U)

Structures of the double perovskites Ba₂M(II)M ′(VI)O₆ (M=Ca, Sr, M′=Te, W, U) at room temperature have been investigated by the Rietveld method using X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. For double perovskites with M=Sr, the observed space groups are I2/m (M′ =W) and (M′=Te), respectively. In the case of M=Ca, the space groups are either monoclinic P2₁/n (M′=U) or cubic (M′=W and Te). The tetragonal and orthorhombic symmetry reported earlier for Ba₂SrTeO₆ and Ba₂CaUO₆, respectively, were not observed. In addition, non-ambient X-ray diffraction data were collected and analyzed for Ba₂SrWO₆ and Ba₂CaWO₆ in the temperature range between 80 and 723 K. It was found that the rhombohedral structure exists in Ba₂SrWO₆ above room temperature between the monoclinic and the cubic structure, whereas the cubic Ba₂CaWO₆ undergoes a structural phase transition at low temperature to the tetragonal I4/m structure.
