New access to (η(5)-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)3 and cationic (η(6)-arene)Mn(CO)3 complexes by Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

First Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions applied to (η(5)-chloro-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)3 complexes are described and lead to the syntheses of (η(5)-aryl-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)3 and of cationic (η(6)-arene)Mn(CO)3 complexes after rearomatization. The structures of two of the new complexes have been investigated by X-ray diffraction study.     

Study of structural and electronic transport properties of Ce-doped LaMnO3

The structural and electronic transport properties of La_1−x Ce _x MnO₃ (x=0.0–1.0) have been studied. All the samples exhibit orthorhombic crystal symmetry and the unit cell volume decreases with Ce doping. They also make a metal-insulator transition (MIT) and transition temperature increases with increase in Ce concentration up to 50% doping. The system La_0.5Ce_0.5MnO₃ also exhibits MIT instead of charge-ordered state as observed in the hole doped systems of the same composition.     

Two connected inverse spectral transforms

We establish a transformation which connects the potentials of the one-dimensional Dirac and Klein-Gordon operators. This transformation links the solutions of the nonlinear evolution equations solvable by means of the two inverse spectral transforms which use the Dirac and Klein-Gordon direct and inverse spectral problems.
