Numerical integration of 2‐D integrals based on local bivariate C 1 quasi‐interpolating splines

In this paper cubature formulas based on bivariate C ¹ local polynomial splines with a four directional mesh [4] are generated and studied. Some numerical results with comparison with other methods are given. Moreover the method proposed is applied to the numerical evaluation of 2‐D singular integrals defined in the Hadamard finite part sense. Computational features, convergence properties and error bounds are proved. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Cu+(H2) and Na+(H2) adducts in exchanged ZSM-5 zeolites

Cu(I) ions in Cu-ZSM-5 form Cu+(H2) complexes, stable at room temperature and sub-atmospheric H2 pressure, which do not have any homogeneous analogue except for matrix-isolated [Cu(eta2-H2)Cl]. Comparison with the unstable Na+(H2) adducts formed in the parent Na-ZSM-5 zeolite allow the conclusion that the Cu(I)/H2 bond is governed by sigma-pi overlap forces.

A new zirconium inorganic building brick forming metal organic frameworks with exceptional stability

Porous crystals are strategic materials with industrial applications within petrochemistry, catalysis, gas storage, and selective separation. Their unique properties are based on the molecular-scale porous character. However, a principal limitation of zeolites and similar oxide-based materials is the relatively small size of the pores, typically in the range of medium-sized molecules, limiting their use in pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) provided a breakthrough in this respect. New MOFs appear at a high and an increasing pace, but the appearances of new, stable inorganic building bricks are rare. Here we present a new zirconium-based inorganic building brick that allows the synthesis of very high surface area MOFs with unprecedented stability. The high stability is based on the combination of strong Zr-O bonds and the ability of the inner Zr6-cluster to rearrange reversibly upon removal or addition of mu3-OH groups, without any changes in the connecting carboxylates. The weak thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability of most MOFs is probably the most important property that limits their use in large scale industrial applications. The Zr-MOFs presented in this work have the toughness needed for industrial applications; decomposition temperature above 500 degrees C and resistance to most chemicals, and they remain crystalline even after exposure to 10 tons/cm2 of external pressure.     

Solid-Phase Synthesis of a Monofunctional trans-a(2)Pt(II) Complex Tethered to a Single-Stranded Oligonucleotide

Cross-linking ability is possible with the oligonucleotide-tethered, monofunctional trans-Pt(II) complex shown. It was synthesized by a novel solid-phase approach comprising conjugation of immobilized tetrathymidylic acid with a trans-a(2)Pt(II) building unit, ammonolysis, and transformation of the resulting complex (R=1-N-cyclohexylmethylthyminate) into the chloro derivative (R=Cl). a=NH(2)CH(3), T=thymine.
