STUDY ON THE DUCTILE DEFORMATION DOMAIN OF THE SIMPLE SHEAR IN ROCKS——TAKING BRITTLE FAULTS OF THE COVERING STRATA IN THE SOUTHERN JIANGSU AREA AS AN EXAMPLE

A study on the ductile deformation domain of the brittle fault in the shallow level ofthe crust is a new probe field for the modern structural geology. Taking the southern Jiang-su Province area as an example the orientation measurement of quartz crystals, the com-positional texture observation of three pressure sensitive minerals and the rheological param-eter determination of dislocation densities, etc. have been demonstrated and analysed basedon typical samples in the present paper. In addition, their generation mechanisms arealso discussed from the cataclastic rheology, the dynamic differentiation and the simpleshearing, specially, from the Ode strength theory. Finally, a generative relationship betweenthe ductile deformation domain of the brittle fault system, in the regional layer--slip andthe formation of the stratabound ore deposit is shown as well.     

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.     

Photoinduced electron transfer at liquid|liquid interfaces. Part VII. Correlation between self-organisation and structure of water-soluble photoactive species

The self-organisation of a variety of dyes at the water|1,2-dichloroethane interface was studied by admittance measurements, photocurrent–potential curves and light polarisation anisotropy of the photocurrent. The heterogeneous photo-oxidation of ferrocene was studied at interfaces sensitised by Sn(IV) meso-tetra-(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin dichloride (SnTPPC), chlorin e-6, protoporphyrin IX (protoIX) and Fe(III) protoporphyrin IX chloride (Fe-protoIX). Cyclic voltammograms and capacitance voltage curves exhibit different features associated with the self-assembly of the dye species at the liquid|liquid boundary. In the case of SnTPPC, the capacitance curves displayed the characteristic responses commonly associated with the specific adsorption of ionic species. On the other hand, chlorin e-6, protoIX and Fe-protoIX show rather complex behaviour suggesting not only changes in the excess charge but also in the dielectric permittivity of the interface. Differences in the photocurrent efficiency were also observed under the same experimental conditions. The relative magnitude of the photocurrent responses were rationalised in terms of the phenomenological electron transfer rate constant, the photon capture cross-sections and the lifetime of the triplet state as obtained from nanosecond flash photolysis. Finally, the average molecular orientation of the adsorbed photoactive species was estimated from the photocurrent dependence on the angle of light polarisation in total internal reflection. The results show a clear correlation between the orientation of the transition dipole and the distribution of the peripheral carboxyl groups responsible for the hydrophilic nature of the dyes.     

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.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure Determination, and Physicochemical Study of the Nickel(II) Complex of 4-(Pyridyl-2)-1,2,4-triazole

A new trinuclear nickel(II) complex with 4-(pyridyl-2)-1,2,4-triazole (pytrz), [Ni₃(pytrz)₆(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₆, has been synthesized, and its crystal structure has been determined. The compound was studied by X-ray phase analysis (XRPA), magnetochemical measurements, and electronic and IR spectroscopy.     

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.     

Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of sulfur inversion in bis(cyclopentadienyl)-molybdenum and -tungsten complexes with dithioethers

The metallocene thioether derivatives [Cp₂M(MeSCH₂CH₂SMe)][PF₆]₂ (1, M = MO; 2, M = W), [Cp₂Mo(SCH₂CH₂SMe)][PF₆] (3) and [Cp₂M(SCH₂CH₂S)] (4, M = Mo; 5, M = W) exhibit temperature-dependent fluxional behavior in solution, owing to the pyramidal sulfur inversion process. The activation energies for this process were determined from proton band-shape analysis in the cases of 1 (54.9 ± 2 kJ mol⁻¹), 2 (51.2 ± 4.6 kJ mol⁻¹) and 3 (30.0 ± 3.1 kJ mol⁻¹). Extended Hückel calculations on related model complexes suggest that local inversion at the sulfur atoms, rather that an inversion of the complete S---C---C---S chain, is responsible for the observed fluxional behaviour.     

Magnetic field effects on the crystal orientation and surface morphology of electrodeposited iron films

The effects of a magnetic field (5 T) on crystal orientation and surface morphology were investigated for iron films electrodeposited in ferrous aqueous solution. XRD measurements for the iron films showed that the preferred orientation parallel to the substrate was determined by the current density and not influenced by the magnetic field. By X-ray pole figure measurements, however, the crystal texture of the iron films electrodeposited at 10 mA cm^–2 and 30 mA cm^–2 was found to be controlled by the magnetic field. That is, the (110) planes were orientated in same direction of the magnetic field vector at angles of 30° and 35° to the direction normal to the substrate plane at 10 mA cm^–2 and 30 mA cm^–2, respectively. When the morphology was observed by SEM, iron grains at 30 mA cm^–2 changed from a triangular pyramid shape at 0 T to a complex star-like shape at 5 T.Presented at the 3rd International Symposium on Electrochemical Processing of Tailored Materials held at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry, 15–20 September 2002, Düsseldorf, Germany
