A polyhydrido copper nanocluster, [Cu20H11{Se2P(OiPr)2}9] ( 2H ), which exhibits an intrinsically chiral inorganic core of C3 symmetry, was synthesized from achiral [Cu20H11{S2P(OiPr)2}9] ( 1H ) of C3h symmetry by a ligand‐exchange method. The structure has a distorted cuboctahedral Cu13 core, two triangular faces of which are capped along the C3 axis, one by a Cu6 cupola and the other by a single Cu atom. The Cu20 framework is further stabilized by 9 diselenophosphate and 11 hydride ligands. The number of hydride, phosphorus, and selenium resonances and their splitting patterns in multinuclear NMR spectra of 2H indicate that the chiral Cu20H11 core retains its C3 symmetry in solution. The 11 hydride ligands were located by neutron diffraction experiments and shown to be capping μ3‐H and interstitial μ5‐H ligands (in square‐pyramidal and trigonal‐bipyramidal cavities), as supported by DFT calculations on [Cu20H11(Se2PH2)9] ( 2H′ ) as a simplified model. 相似文献
An air‐ and moisture‐stable nanoscale polyhydrido copper cluster [Cu32(H)20{S2P(OiPr)2}12] ( 1H ) was synthesized and structurally characterized. The molecular structure of 1H exhibits a hexacapped pseudo‐rhombohedral core of 14 Cu atoms sandwiched between two nestlike triangular cupola fragments of (2×9) Cu atoms in an elongated triangular gyrobicupola polyhedron. The discrete Cu32 cluster is stabilized by 12 dithiophosphate ligands and a record number of 20 hydride ligands, which were found by high‐resolution neutron diffraction to exhibit tri‐, tetra‐, and pentacoordinated hydrides in capping and interstitial modes. This result was further supported by a density functional theory investigation on the simplified model [Cu32(H)20(S2PH2)12]. 相似文献
Pyrolysis of an in-situ generated intermediate, produced in the reaction of [Cp∗MoCl4], 1, (Cp∗ = η5-C5Me5) with [LiBH4·THF], with an excess of difuryl ditelluride in toluene at 90 °C yielded syn and anti isomers of [Cp∗Mo(O)(μ-Te)]2 (2, 3) and [Cp∗2Mo2O2(μ-O)(μ-Te)] (4, 5). In a similar fashion, dibenzyl diselenide yielded syn and anti isomers of [Cp∗Mo(O)(μ-Se)]2 (6, 7), along with the known nido-[(Cp∗Mo)2B4H8Se2]. Note that in parallel with 2-7, [(Cp∗Mo)2B5H9] was isolated as the major product in both cases. Compounds 2-7 have been isolated in modest yield as orange to brown crystalline solids. All the new compounds have been characterized in solution by mass, IR, 1H, 13C, 77Se and 125Te NMR spectroscopy, and the structural types were unequivocally established by crystallographic analysis of 2-4 and 7. 相似文献
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterise the effects of low energy (<2 eV) argon ion plasma surface modification of TiO2 thin films deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputter system. The low energy argon ion plasma surface modification of TiO2 in a two-stage hybrid system had increased the proportion of surface states of TiO2 as Ti3+. The proportion of carbon atoms as alcohol/ether (COX) was decreased with increase the RF power and carbon atoms as carbonyl (CO) functionality had increased for low RF power treatment. The proportion of C(O)OX functionality at the surface was decreased at low power and further increase in power has showed an increase in its relive proportion at the surface. The growth of S180 cells was observed and it seems that cells are uniformly spreads on tissue culture polystyrene surface and untreated TiO2 surfaces whereas small-localised cell free area can be seen on plasma treated TiO2 surfaces which may be due to decrease in C(O)OX, increase in CO and active sites at the surface. A relatively large variation in the surface functionalities with no change in the surface roughness was achieved by different RF plasma treatments of TiO2 surface whereas no significant change in S180 cell growth with different plasma treatments. This may be because cell growth on TiO2 was mainly influenced by nano-surface characteristics of oxide films rather than surface chemistry. 相似文献
The radiation effects induced effects by electron beam (EB) treatment on the catalytic activity of Ni/γ-Al2O3 were studied for the carbon dioxide reforming of methane with different EB energy and absorbed radiation dose. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to determine the change in structure and surface states of Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst before and after the EB treatment. Higher energy EB treatment is useful for increasing the proportion of the active sites (such as Ni0 and NiAl2O4-phase) on the surface. The increase of Ni/Al-ratio indicates that the Ni dispersion on the surface increased with the EB-treatment, resulting in an increase of the active sites, which leads to improving the catalytic activity. XPS measurement also showed a decrease of the surface carbon with EB dose. The maximum 20% increase in the conversion of CO2/CH4-mixture into CO/H2 gas was observed for the catalyst treated with 2 MeV energy and 600 kGy dose of EB relative to untreated. 相似文献
Quantum-dot Cellular automata is a promising area to implement digital systems at nano scale level. Adders and subtractors are widely used in almost every digital information processing system. This work targets to design an efficient 8-bit adder/subtractor that can perform addition as well as subtraction by using a novel control signal distribution scheme. To perform controlled inversion of inputs a novel exclusive-or gate with fewer cells is proposed. During Quantum-dot Cellular automata circuit fabrication, missing cell defects have the potential to affect the performance of a circuit. The proposed designs have higher fault resistance to missing cell defects compared to the existing state-of-the-art designs. Results demonstrate that the proposed design has (N-2) less clock phases compared to the existing state-of-the-art designs. The proposed design can be extended to implement any N-bit adder/subtractor. All the designs are designed and verified using coherence vector simulation engine in QCADesigner.
