Synthesis, band structure, and optical properties of Ba2ZnV2O8

A novel compound Ba₂ZnV₂O₈ has been synthesized in high temperature solution reaction and its crystal structure has been characterized by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in monoclinic system and belongs to space group P2₁/c with a=7.9050(16), b=16.149(3), , β=90.49(3). It builds up from 1-D branchy chains of [ZnV₂O₈⁴⁻]_∞, and the Ba²⁺ cations are located in the space among these chains. The IR spectrum, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection integral spectrum and fluorescent spectra of this compound have been investigated. The calculated results of energy band structure by the density functional theory method show that the solid-state compound of Ba₂ZnV₂O₈ is an insulator with direct band gap of 3.48 eV. The calculated total and partial density of states indicate that the top valence bands are contributions from the mixings of O-2p, V-3d, and Zn-3d states and low conduction bands mostly originate from unoccupied antibonding states between the V-3d and O-2p states. The V-O bonds are mostly covalence characters and Zn-O bonds are mostly ionic interactions, and the ionic interaction strength is stronger between the Ba-O than between the Zn-O. The refractive index of n_x, n_y, and n_z is estimated to be 1.7453, 1.7469, and 1.7126, respectively, at wavelength of 1060 nm for Ba₂ZnV₂O₈ crystal.     

The Effects of Beating,Web Forming and Sizing on the Surface Energy of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eucalyptus globulus</Emphasis> Kraft Fibres Evaluated by Inverse Gas Chromatography

In this work attention has been focused on the effects of papermaking beating, web forming and sizing operations on the physical/chemical surface properties of bleached Eucalyptus globulus kraft fibres. Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) was used to determine the dispersive component of surface tension (γ_s^d) as well as the acidic/basic character (according to the Lewis concept) of the solid surfaces (pulp fibres and pulp handsheets). The results have shown that the main effect of beating is to increase the fibre's Lewis acidic character. Web forming caused a strong decrease in γ_s^d and significant increments in the adhesion works of both acidic and basic probes, lowering the ratio between the two. Nevertheless, the surface of handsheets still exhibited a dominant acidic character. The sizing operation did not change the dispersive component of the surface tension significantly but decreased the difference between the adhesion works of the acidic and basic probes, rendering the handsheet surface less Lewis acidic and more Lewis basic. Thus, although internal sizing is expected to strongly influence liquid spreading at the paper surface and liquid penetration of the fibre's network, it is concluded that beating and web forming lead to important changes in the surface energetic properties of the Eucalyptus globulus kraft fibres.     

New integrated measurement protocol using capillary electrophoresis instrumentation for the determination of viscosity, conductivity and absorbance of ionic liquid-molecular solvent mixtures

The low vapor pressure and the versatility of the physico-chemical properties of ionic liquids make them really attractive as an alternative for conventional molecular solvents. The knowledge of their physico-chemical properties (viscosity, conductivity, miscibility with organic solvents and anion-cation interactions) has appeared mandatory for better targeting their applications, although it is generally still lacking or incomplete.This work promotes capillary electrophoresis instrumentation as an integrated apparatus for measurement of viscosity, conductivity and absorbance of pure ionic liquids and ionic liquid-molecular solvent mixtures. Compared to current conventional techniques, the assets of this instrumentation for this purpose are the combined availability of a pressure delivery system, power supply, diode array absorbance detector and thermoregulation device, allowing unattended, automatic and easy operation, involving minimum sample handling. Most importantly, the required sample volume can be reduced to about 50 μL, making this protocol very cost-effective. A protocol was optimized with respect to time, sample consumption and data reliability for the determination of these physico-chemical parameters. Ionic liquids selected for method development and validation differed in the nature of their cation (butyl- and ethyl-methylimidazolium) and anion (trifluoromethanesulfonate and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide). Various molecular solvents were mixed with these ionic liquids (acetonitrile, methanol, dimethylformamide and trifluoroethanol) and the same physico-chemical properties were determined by optimized methods. The knowledge of these data should be of great support in various application areas, including the development of new separation media for capillary electrophoresis and chromatographic techniques.     

New homochiralortho-palladated matrix bearing a bulky substituent at the carbon stereocenter

A new homochiral dimericortho-palladated complex bearing a bulkytert-butyl substituent at the carbon stereocenter was synthesized from optically activeN,N-dimethyl-α-tert-butylbenzylamine. Regioselective activation of only the aromatic C−H bond was shown to occur during the cyclometallation process proceeding under very mild conditions due to steric effects. Spectral characteristics of mononuclear derivatives of the new dimeric complex indicate that the five-membered palladacycle exists predominantly in one of two possible chiral conformations with the axial position of thetert-butyl substituent.

Aggregation processes of biomolecules in presence of trehalose

Among disaccharides, trehalose, a naturally-occurring glass-forming disaccharide, is particularly effective in terms of its ability to preserve several organisms under stress conditions. The present work is aimed to investigate the bioprotective action of trehalose on lysozyme as a function of temperature. In order to extract quantitative information about the dimensional changes of the proteins, we performed Small Angle Neutron Scattering measurements on lysozyme/D₂O solutions in absence and in presence of the disaccharide. The findings emphasise the capability of trehalose to stabilise the protein, activating aggregation processes.     

Sulfonated polypropylene ionomers

Polypropylene ionomers have been prepared by sulfonation of copolymers of propene and 7 methyl, 1-6 octadiene, followed by neutralization to cesium salts. Both WAXS and SAXS were used to study the morphology of the samples, while their thermal properties were studied by DSC and their mechanical properties by DMTA. The sulfonation process is shown to cause a further drop in crystallinity in addition to the effect of comonomer incorporation. Ion clustering is observed when the extent of sulfonation is high enough, the limit being dependent on the copolymer composition. The ion pairs which are not incorporated into the cluster cause a small-angle upturn in the WAXS pattern. The mechanical properties are strongly affected by the drop in crystallinity, but may be partly recovered due to ion clustering. No disruption of the ion clusters is observed before thermal decomposition of the polymer.     

Synthesis, properties, and structure of dimethylgold(III) complexes [(CH3)2AuI]2 and (CH3)2AuS2CN(C2H5)2

Volatile diethyldithiocarbamate of dimethylgold(III) was prepared by the interaction of dimethylgold(III) iodide with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. The complex is examined by the elemental analysis, DTA, IR and electronic spectroscopy. The starting dimeric complex [(CH₃)₂AuI]₂ and a novel monomeric volatile gold(III) complex (CH₃)₂AuS₂CN(C₂H₅)₂ with the AuC₂S₂ coordination core were investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction for the first time.     

Studies of sodium humate/polyacrylamide/clay hybrid hydrogels. I. Swelling and rheological properties of hydrogels

A type of novel hybrid hydrogels from sodium humate (SH), polyacrylamide (PAM), and hydrophilic Laponite clay were prepared using potassium persulfate (KPS) as the initiator and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as the cross-linker. The structures of the hydrogels were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope and FTIR. Their swelling properties, swelling mechanism and rheological properties were also investigated. Experiments show that the composite is heterogeneous in the PAM/SH hydrogel system, while the clay collaborates with SH and improves the network structure of PAM/SH/clay hydrogel. High water-absorbing capability is shown for both hydrogel systems. Han plot proves that clay and SH are compatible with PAM for PAM/SH/clay hydrogels.

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.
