Quantum chemical calculations of the isomer shift in iron(II) complexes of 1,2,4-triazoles with a 1 A 1 ⇔ 5 T 2 spin transition

DFT calculations have been performed to determine the isomer shift for a series of iron(II) clusters with nitrogen-containing ligands which serve as models of coordination units in Fe(II) complexes with 1,2,4-triazoles possessing a ¹ A ₁ ? ⁵ T ₂ spin transition. Good agreement has been found between the theoretical and experimental values of the isomer shift for both low-and high-spin phases. Our calculations confirmed the hypothesis about relationship between the experimentally observed differences in the isomer shift for the low-spin phases of the complexes and variations of the Fe-N mean bond length.

Development of chromium-free iron-based catalysts for high-temperature water-gas shift reaction

Chromium-free iron-based catalysts were prepared and studied in regard to their performance in the high-temperature water-gas shift reaction (HTS). The effects of various catalyst preparation variables (i.e., Fe/promoter ratio, pH of precipitation medium, calcination and reduction temperatures) and preparation methods were investigated. Aluminum is a potential chromium replacement in HTS catalysts. Further improvement in WGS activity of Fe–Al catalysts can be achieved by the addition of small amounts of copper or cobalt. Catalysts were characterized using BET surface area measurements, temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). As a textural promoter, aluminum and chromium prevent the sintering of iron oxides and stabilize magnetite phase by retarding its further reduction to FeO and metallic Fe. The promotional effect of Cu is found to be strongly dependent on the preparation method.     

Lanthanide induced shifts of aromatic 1,2,3-trimethoxy compounds: Conformational analysis of tetrahydrofurofuran-lignans in solution

Summary The solution conformations of 1,4-diaryl-tetrahydro-1H,3H-furo[3,4-c]furans were determined by means of the LIS technique using a modified LIS-simulation program specially designed for the requirements of the aromatic 1,2,3-trimethoxy arrangement as a bidentate coordination site for the NMR shift reagent. The resulting geometries were confirmed by force field calculations (MM2-87) and compared with X-ray derived structures. Reliable data for the conformations in solution allowed a quantitative estimation of the circular dichroism based on the coupled oscillator model.

Lanthanideninduzierte Verschiebungen von aromatischen 1,2,3-Trimethoxy-Verbindungen: Konformationsanalyse von Tetrahydrofurofuran-Lignanen in Lösung

Zusammenfassung Es wurden mittels der LIS-Technik die Konformationen von 1,4-Diaryl-tetrahydro-1H,3H-furo[3,4-c]furanen in Lösung bestimmt. Dazu mußte ein modifiziertes LIS-Simulationsprogramm entworfen werden, das auf die besonderen Verhältnisse der aromatischen 1,2,3-Trimethoxy-Gruppierung eingeht, welche in den untersuchten Verbindungen als zweizähnige Koordinationsstelle für das NMR-Verschiebungsreagens fungiert. Die resultierenden Geometrien wurden mittels Kraftfeldrechnungen (MM2-87) überprüft und soweit vorhanden auch mit Röntgenstrukturdaten verglichen. Für die Lösungskonformationen wurde eine quantitative Abschätzung des Circulardichroismus auf der Basis des Modells für gekoppelte Oszillatoren durchgeführt.

     

A computational study of the LiH dimer

A theoretical study of the properties of the linear LiH dimer was undertaken. In this dimer, an unusual type of hydrogen bonding (termed "inverse" hydrogen bonding by some authors), which involves the hydrogen bonded molecule acting as an electron donor (rather than as a proton donor), is exhibited. The optimized geometry, dipole moment, interaction energy, atomic charges, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and frequency shifts for the dimer are computed at the SCF, MP2, and QCISD levels of theory using mainly a 6-31++G(d,p) basis set. We also examined the relative stability of the mono-deuterated isotopomers of linear (LiH)(2), i.e., Li-H...Li-D and Li-D...Li-H. Analysis of the normal vibrational modes, changes in the partial atomic charges, and changes in the vibrational frequencies of LiH on complexation were used to gain insight into the bonding and properties of the linear LiH dimer and its isotopomers.

Summary The conformational possibilities of 5-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl)-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (1), 5-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropylidene)-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (2), and 5-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl)-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (3) are analysed using empirical force field methods. Minimum energy conformations, interconversion pathways, interconversion graphs and interconversion energies are examined in view of the analysis of conformer equilibria of1,2, or3 in solution. In addition, some basic requirements of the analysis of fast interconverting conformers using the lanthanide induced shift method are discussed.

小像元量子阱FPA抗光学串音的FDTD仿真

采用光栅耦合结构的焦平面阵列(Focal Plane Array,FPA)在工艺上难以制备,反射耦合结构较为容易。为探究反射耦合结构是否可以在小尺寸范围内替代光栅耦合结构,文章使用FDTD电磁场仿真软件MEEP构建了光栅耦合结构和反射结构GaAs/AlGaAs量子阱红外焦平面阵列三像元模。通过对器件内部光学串音进行仿真,验证了在逼近衍射极限时,采用全内反射结构的FPA在5~7μm和8.5~10μm之间的抗串音效果强于光栅耦合结构,而在6.5~8.5μm和10~12μm之间,光栅耦合结构的抗串音效果更好,在12~15μm范围内,两种结构的抗串音能力相当。针对15μm中心距全内反射结构量子阱FPA,探究了反射角度、刻蚀深度和量子阱周期对其串音的影响。     

部分相干径向偏振拉盖尔-高斯脉冲光束在大气湍流中传输的光谱移动和光谱开关

研究了部分相干径向偏振拉盖尔-高斯(partially coherent radially polarized Laguerre-Gaussian, PCRPLG)脉冲光束在大气湍流中传输时的光谱移动和光谱开关。研究发现,在湍流大气传输时,光束轴上点光谱因受湍流影响产生的双谱峰现象会发生跃变,湍流越强,光谱在跃变后相对谱移变化越稳定,而轴外点光谱在越强的湍流中相对谱移变化范围越小。研究还发现,适当增加脉冲宽度会明显减小大气湍流对光束轴上点和轴外点光谱移动的影响。在不同脉宽下,轴上和轴外点光谱均会出现光谱开关,且轴外点光谱会产生两次光谱跃变的独特现象。在固定的传输距离上,拓扑荷越大,轴上点光谱移动越小,近轴范围内光谱相对谱移的变化范围越小,此外,不同拓扑荷下光谱均会出现谱开关。相干度越大时,光谱的变化越稳定,轴外点光谱的光谱开关发生位置越远。本文的研究结果为多普勒激光雷达的应用提供理 论依据,PCRPLG脉冲光束本身具有较强抗湍流能力,且通过调控光束参数可以减小光束光谱移动。
