4-Benzoylbenzoate intercalated in layered double hydroxides: a new catalyst for photo-oxidation of sulfides in solution and in the gas phase

A new mixed organic-inorganic photosensitizer, based on 4-benzoylbenzoate intercalated into a layered double hydroxide has been prepared, characterized and successfully tested for the photo-oxidation of dialkylsulfides, both in acetonitrile and in the gas phase.     

On a new calcium vanadate: synthesis, structure and Li insertion behavior

A synthetic form of the mineral hewettite was prepared via a new route in aqueous medium, starting either from the crystalline compound Li_1.1V₃O₈, or from its amorphous precursor. The anhydrous, crystalline derivative Ca_0.5V₃O₈ was obtained by heating the synthetic hewettite at 250°C under dynamic vacuum. The diffraction studies show that the 2D structure of Ca_0.5V₃O₈ involves the same V₃O₈ layers as in the hewettite or in Li_1+αV₃O₈. The stacking of the layers is similar to that in the metahewettite. A structural model is proposed, where the Ca²⁺ ions occupy octahedral sites in the interlayer space. The electrochemical behavior of Ca_0.5V₃O₈ vs. lithium insertion is presented. It is original and reveals particularly good performances in terms of stability during cycling at C/5 rate. The homologues obtained with Mg or Ba, instead of Ca, are briefly presented.     

Dynamical significance in alkali metasilicate glasses

In this work, we elucidate the effect of the less mobile ions on the dynamics of the more mobile ions by molecular dynamics simulations of lithium ions motion in lithium metasilicate glass by freezing some randomly chosen lithium ions (5%, 10% and 25%) at their initial locations at 700 K. A remarkable slowing down of the dynamics of the majority mobile Li ions was observed both in the self-part of the density–density correlation function, F_s(k,t), and in the diffusion coefficients. On the other hand, there is no significant change in the structure. These results show many similarities to the mixed alkali effect (MAE) with mixing of the small content of foreign alkali (10% and 25% of K₂O), where large reduction of the dynamics was also observed in both experiments and MD simulations. This immobilization of faster ions causes the large MAE as already discussed in relation to the mechanism of the cooperative ion jump motions. Although of lesser importance, the ion dynamics are influenced by the matrix of oxygen atoms, because the jump motions of Li ions are assisted by the localized motions of oxygen atoms.     

Lithium heptadecafluorooctanesulfonate catalyzed Mannich-type and aza-Diels-Alder reactions in supercritical carbon dioxide

The Mannich-type reaction of imines with (1-methoxy-2-methylpropenyloxy)trimethylsilane and aza-Diels-Alder reaction of imines with Danishefsky's diene can be carried out in scCO₂ in the presence of lithium heptadecafluorooctanesulfonate which offer a way to synthesize β-amino carbonyl compounds and nitrogen-containing six-membered ring compounds under environmentally benign conditions.     

Optical absorption of lithium metal vapor at high temperatures

Experimental results are reported for a unique spectroscopic device called the Plasma Spectroscopy Cell. Optical absorption of lithium metal vapor was observed at high density and temperature. Absorption spectra are analyzed using theoretical calculations of absorption cross sections for lithium-helium interactions, and singlet and triplet state transitions of diatomic lithium in the visible spectral range. This is believed to be the most complex example yet calculated in which absolute bound-bound, bound-free, free-bound, and free-free contributions for all possible optically allowed transitions are all included, in quite respectable agreement with experiment.     

Proton-exchanged optical waveguides fabricated by glutaric acid

In this paper, we first report that a new proton source, glutaric acid, has been used to fabricate optical waveguides in Z-cut lithium niobate crystals. The relationship was experimentally established between proton-exchanged (PE) waveguide parameters and fabrication conditions. It is shown that this new organic acid can be used to obtain deep PE waveguides in fast diffusion speed (0.275 μm²/h at 221°C) and with low loss (0.2 dB/cm). It provides an alternative approach for fabricating PE waveguides in lithium niobate substrate.     

Precipitation and characterization of uniform submicrometer lead titanate particles. Part II: Reaction mechanism
