Non-empirical INDO-MO calculations on some vanadium(IV) halides

ODIN, a non-empirical INDO-MO scheme, has been used to determine the ground state electronic configurations for the tetrahedral molecules, VCl₄ and VBr₄. A ² E ground state was obtained for both molecules. The Photoelectron spectrum and the electronic spectrum have been calculated for VCl₄, and a satisfactory correlation with the corresponding experimental data was made. Also, ODIN was employed to evaluate electronic transition energies and the photoelectron spectrum of VBr₄.

二价铜、镍EDTA络合物晶体的电子吸收光谱

络合物晶体的电子吸收光谱作为研究晶体的电子结构的基础内容,很早以前就得到人们注意,虽然对Cu~(2+)、Ni~(2+)等络合物电子光谱的能级的经验指认已是一项较为成熟的工作,但对吸收光谱的系统的理论计算和定量解释在以前的文献中尚不多见.近年来,我们对多种晶体的电子吸收光谱进行了定量的解释,结果表明理论计算值总是能很好地符合于实验测定值。一般说来,吸收峰位的波数误差在8%以内. 早在本世纪四十年代就奠定了乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)在分析化学中的应用基础。     

Recent Advances in Electropolymerized Conducting Polymers in Amperometric Biosensors

Conducting electroactive polymers (CPs) are materials discovered just over 20 years ago which have aroused considerable interest on account of their electronic conducting properties and unique chemical and biochemical properties. Consequently, they have numerous (bio)analytical and technological applications. CPs are easily synthesized and deposited onto the conductive surface of a given substrate from monomer solutions by electrochemical polymerization with precise electrochemical control of their formation rate and thickness. Coating electrodes with CPs under mild conditions opens up enormous possibilities for the immobilization of biomolecules and bioaffinity or biorecognizing reagents, the improvement of their electrocatalytic properties, rapid electron transfer and direct communication to produce a range of analytical signals and new analytical applications. Co-immobilization of other molecules (enzymatic co-factors or charge-transfer mediators) by entrapment within electropolymerized films or by covalent binding on these films permits straightforward fabrication of reagentless biosensors. The characteristics of CPs and their uses, mainly in amperometric biosensors, are reviewed. The most recent applications and lines of research related to CP films are summarized in the different sections of the paper, and probable future trends are discussed.     

Carbometallate: Komplexe Anionenverbände [MoC4/26—] in der Kristallstruktur von Pr[MoIIC2]

Carbometalates: Complex Anions equation/tex2gif-stack-4.gif [MoC_4/2^6—] in the Crystal Structure of Pr equation/tex2gif-stack-5.gif [Mo^IIC₂] Criteria for the existence of carbometalates are established and discussed in a broader context. The concept is then applied to the novel compound Pr₂[MoC₂], which is characterized by chemical analyses, X‐ray diffraction and metallography. The crystal structure (tetragonal, P4₂/mnm, Z = 4, a = 581.29(8) pm, c = 1032.53(14) pm) consists of layered polyanions equation/tex2gif-stack-6.gif[MoC_4/2^6—] of distorted vertex and edge sharing MoC₄ tetrahedra. Praseodymium is also in a distorted tetrahedral coordination by carbon. The physical properties show “bad metal” behaviour and localized magnetic 4f‐moments in agreement with the existence of Pr³⁺‐species. A detailed bonding analysis using both the electron localization function ELF and the COHP method justifies the interpretation of the title compound as a carbomolybdate(II).     

反式和顺式HOOOH的电子光谱的理论研究

Classification of oxide glasses: A polarizability approach

A classification of binary oxide glasses has been proposed taking into account the values obtained on their refractive index-based oxide ion polarizability α_O2−(n₀), optical basicity Λ(n₀), metallization criterion M(n₀), interaction parameter A(n₀), and ion's effective charges as well as O1s and metal binding energies determined by XPS. Four groups of oxide glasses have been established: glasses formed by two glass-forming acidic oxides; glasses formed by glass-forming acidic oxide and modifier's basic oxide; glasses formed by glass-forming acidic and conditional glass-forming basic oxide; glasses formed by two basic oxides. The role of electronic ion polarizability in chemical bonding of oxide glasses has been also estimated. Good agreement has been found with the previous results concerning classification of simple oxides. The results obtained probably provide good basis for prediction of type of bonding in oxide glasses on the basis of refractive index as well as for prediction of new nonlinear optical materials.     

Synchrotron X-ray absorption of LaCoO3 perovskite

LaCoO₃ perovskite was prepared at 700°C using citrate precursors. The product was then characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The powder XRD pattern indicates rhombohedral or its monoclinic I2/a subgroup symmetry. The electronic configuration and the short-range atomic structure of the LaCoO₃ perovskite at room temperature were investigated using synchrotron near-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS). From the XANES region of the XAS we conclude that Co(III) is at least partly in its intermediate- or high-spin state, which is in accordance with most of the published literature on LaCoO₃ perovskite. The EXAFS region of the LaCoO₃ perovskite spectrum, which up to now was almost not investigated, was simulated satisfactorily for the first two radial structure peaks in terms of the dominant scattering contributions generated with the FEFF8 code and the structural information available from crystallographic data. The best simulation results were obtained with I2/a symmetry. The obtained amplitude reduction factor, zero-energy shift and Debye-Waller factors are useful reference values for data analyses of similar compounds like partly substituted LaCoO₃ perovskite, such as La_1−xCa_xCoO₃ or La_1−xSr_xCoO₃, which are materials of technical interest in catalyst and other applications.
