Capping ligand perturbed slow magnetic relaxation in dysprosium single-ion magnets

Single-ion magnets 1 and 2 and their diamagnetic analogues 3 and 4 for magnetic-site dilution were obtained through substitution of the coordinated water molecules of [Ln(TTA)(3)(H(2)O)(2)] (Ln=Dy (1, 2), Y (3, 4); TTA=4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedionate) by 2,2'-bipyridine (1, 3) and 1,10-phenanthroline (2, 4) capping ligands. Their structures and magnetic properties were investigated with the goal of identifying features relevant to modulating relaxation dynamics of single-ion magnets. The metal ions in all complexes adopt an approximately square-antiprismatic (SAP) O(6)N(2) coordination environment. The SAP polyhedrons for both 1 and 2 show slight longitudinal compression, while the coordination sphere of 1 deviates more from an ideal SAP than that of 2, as indicated by the skew angles of the SAP environment. The similar values of U(eff) for the two magnetically diluted samples imply nearly the same distribution of low-lying states for their Dy(III) centers, which is consistent with the slight axial contraction observed for 1 and 2 and further corroborated by ligand-field analysis. The fast quantum tunneling rate τ(QTM) of 1, which is about ten times faster than that of 2, can presumably be associated with the larger rotation of the SAP surroundings. This distortion may result in a significant transverse anisotropy terms, and thus strongly affect the dynamic behavior of the system.     

不同粒径尿微晶的ζ电位、自相关曲线和聚集状态

采用纳米粒度仪和透射电子显微镜(TEM)比较研究了10例尿石症患者和10例健康对照者的尿液经不同孔径滤膜(0.22、0.45、1.2、3.0、10μm)过滤后,尿微晶平均粒径(d)、粒度分布、自相关曲线、ζ电位和聚集状态的变化。随着滤膜孔径由0.22μm增至10μm,患者尿微晶的d值由162 nm增至3 227 nm,自相关曲线平滑性变差,自相关时间(Ta)由1.92 ms增至2100 ms,ζ由-2.65 mV减小至-9.21 mV,TEM显示尿微晶尺寸差异大,部分尿微晶处于聚集状态。而对照者尿微晶的d值仅由187 nm增加至1 010 nm,自相关曲线平滑,Ta由1.40 ms增加至6.67 ms,ζ平均值由-5.22 mV减小至-6.89 mV,TEM显示尿微晶均匀分散,尺寸较小。上述结果表明:尿石患者的尿液体系不稳定,其尿微晶聚集程度高,导致尿石症形成的危险性增加。     

Combustion Derived Nanocrystalline‐ZrO2 and Its Catalytic Activity for Biginelli Condensation under Microwave Irradiation

Nanocrystalline zirconium(IV) oxide (nc‐ZrO₂) possessing high surface area was synthesized by a low temperature eco‐friendly solution combustion method using a new organic fuel alanine. The powder XRD, SEM and surface area measurements were carried out for characterization of nc‐ZrO₂. The powder XRD results revealed that, the nc‐ZrO₂ has the pure tetragonal phase. The crystallite size calculated by Scherrer's formula and BET surface area were found to be ca. 53–57 nm and ca. 275 m²/g, respectively. SEM micrograph exhibited the macroporous nature of the powder. nc‐ZrO₂ has been employed as a catalyst for the solvent‐free synthesis of 3,4‐dihydro‐ pyrimidin‐2‐ones (DHPMs) by a microwave (MW) assisted one‐pot, multicomponent Biginelli condensation reaction of araldehydes, ethylacetoacetate and urea or thiourea. DHPMs are obtained in good to excellent yields (85%–96%) under this reaction condition within short interval of time (10–20 min).

High coercivity nanocrystalline YCo5 powders produced by mechanical milling

High coercivity nanostructured YCo₅ powders were successfully prepared by mechanical milling of as-cast alloys and subsequent vacuum annealing. Almost single phase YCo₅ alloys, obtained by arc melting, were processed by high energy mechanical milling using a SPEX 8000 mill. After 4 h of milling, powders become nearly amorphous. DSC scans revealed the existence of an irreversible broad exothermic transition with a maximum at 516 °C associated with the crystallization process. Annealing in high vacuum at 800 °C during 2.5 min led to the formation of YCo₅ nanoparticles with an average particle size of 12 nm. A high intrinsic coercivity of 7.23 kOe together with a σ_r/σ_s ratio of 0.75 were obtained.
