Effect of distortion in electron impact excitation in Coulomb-projected Born approximation

We have calculated total and differential cross-sections for 1s →ns (n = 2, 3, 4) electron impact excitation of hydrogen and hydrogenic ions at various energies in Coulomb-projected Born approximation. Distortion due to static interactions, target polarization and exchange effects has been incorporated in the initial channel. The present calculations have been compared with other theoretical and experimental results.     

Spectroscopic investigation of the Dergaon meteorite with reference to 10 μm and 20 μm bands

Analysis of a part of the meteorite which fell at Dergaon (India) on March 2, 16.40 local time (2001) is presented with the help of FTIR, absorption and atomic spectra. The FTIR spectrum exhibits prominent absorption bands in the region 800–1100 cm⁻¹, originating from the valence vibration of SiO⁴, a basic component of the silicate lattice.     

双核配合物[Cu2(TS)(H2O)]·CH3OH的自组装制备和晶体结构

The binuclear complex [Cu₂(TS)(H₂O)]·CH₃OH, where TS denotes the binucleating ligand derived from the schiff base N,N′-bis(3-carboxylsalidene)trimethylenediamine, was obtained from the self-decomposition of mononuclear complex Na₂CuTS·H₂O. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c. The lattice parameters are a=11.935(2)?,b=15.667(3)?,c=11.621(2)?,β=111.60(3)°,V=2020.2(7)?³, Z=4 with R=0.0467. The structure is made of binuclear units, in which two copper atoms are bridged by two phenolic oxygen atoms. The “inside”copper atom is coordinated by two nitrogens, two phenolic oxygens in a planar coordi-nation site, the copper atom deviates from the mean plane by 0.47?. The “outside” copper atom is five coordinated by two phenolic oxygen atoms、two equatorial carboxyl oxygen atoms and one axial water oxygen atom in a distorted tetragonal cone site, the copper atom is pulled out of the equatorial plane by 0.46?.     

Convergence of distorted Brownian motions and singular Hamiltonians

We prove a convergence theorem for sequences of Diffusion Processes corresponding to Dirichlet Forms of the kind .We obtain convergence in total variation norm of the corresponding probability measures on the path space C(₊;^d) under hypotheses which, for example, are satisfied in the case of H _loc ¹ ( ^d )-convergence of the 's, but we can allow more singular situations as regards the approximating sequences. We use then these results to give a criterion of convergence for generalized Schrödinger operators in which the potential function should not necessarily exists as a measurable function. We obtain convergence not only in strong resolvent sense, but we also obtain convergence in the uniform operator topology up to sets of arbitrarily small Lebesgue measure. Applications to the problem of the approximation of ordinary Schrödinger operators by generalized ones corresponding to zero-range interactions are given.     

Synthesis and Single Crystal Structure of a New Dinuclear Copper(II) Complex of 1,5-Bis(8-oxaquinoline)-3-methylpentane

A new flexible ligand, 1,5-bis(8-oxaquinoline)-3-methylpentane (C5MeOQ), was synthesized and used in the preparation of the new dinuclear copper(II) complex 1: [Cu₂(μ-OMe)₂(μ-C5MeOQ)(NO₃)₂]. Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that complex 1 contains dinuclear Cu(II) units with bridging methoxo groups. The ligand, C5MeOQ, takes on a bent conformation in order to connect to and complete the square planar coordination environment of both copper centers; and one of the two Cu(II) centers adopts a distorted square planar configuration as a result of the ligand conformation. The magnetic properties of complex 1 were investigated by variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements in the 100–300 K range. Interestingly, the susceptibility data for complex 1 reveals that the compound is diamagnetic, suggesting the presence of very strong antiferromagnetic coupling interactions between the adjacent Cu(II) centers.     

Spectral and computational chemistry studies for the optimization of geometry of dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of some unsymmetrical Schiff bases as antimicrobial agent

Abstract

This analysis highlights the design, spectroscopic characterization and quantum mechanical calculation of some new dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes of some dibasic tetradentate Schiff bases. Ligands were derived from mono 5-bromosalicylaldehyde-orthophenylenediamine (^BrSal-OPD) and different 2-hydroxyketone derivatives. The characterization was performed by elemental analysis, FTIR, electronic, ¹H NMR and mass spectra, magnetic and molar conductance studies. Structure of the ligands and complexes were designed depending on experimental data and computational studies. According to all data, distorted octahedral geometry was proposed where oxygen atoms are in cis position. Prepared complexes exhibit moderate antimicrobial properties when evaluated against some pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated to search their biological action, for example, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity.

Optimization of SIMS analytical parameters for water content measurement of olivine

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) has a wide range of applications in Earth Science research, thanks to its high precision and sensitivity, and its capacity in direct insitu micromeasurement. The technique is operated in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions, especially for the measurement of volatiles such as hydrogen, or the water content in nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs). To minimize the water background and obtain accurate and precise water contents in NAMs (eg, olivine) critical parameters such as presputtering time, field aperture (FA), dynamic transfer on/off, and primary beam current intensity were investigated for a CAMECA IMS 1280-HR system. When the chamber vacuum reaches approximately 2 × 10⁻⁹ mbar, we set the DTOS OFF, raster size to 50 μm and primary beam current to 5 nA, and used 2000 μm FA and 170-second presputtering time. Consequently, an approximately 1.2 ppmw water background and 3.6 ppmw limit of detection (LOD) were yielded, from analyzing the San Carlos olivine. Meanwhile, the water content and homogeneity of a range of olivine minerals were characterized for potential use as reference materials for SIMS water content measurement. Olivine water content calibration curve was also established by comparing the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results with the SIMS-measured ¹⁶O¹H⁻/¹⁶O⁻ ratios. Accuracy and precision of water content measurement were estimated to be better than approximately 10% in this study.

Toluene steam reforming as tar model molecule produced during biomass gasification with an iron/olivine catalyst

Tar produced during biomass steam reforming is a complex mixture of single to multiple ring aromatic compounds and it is necessary to eliminate them in order to prevent any condensation-polymerisation problem. Tar steam reforming leads to additional hydrogen that improves gas production. Previous works have shown that olivine was active in tar removal during biomass gasification and the iron distribution into the mineral different phases has a real influence on its efficiency. A Fe/olivine catalytic system has been designed to study tar steam reforming. This work presents the Fe/olivine catalyst characterizations (XRD, Mössbauer, TPR) and compares the Fe/olivine and olivine reactivity in toluene steam reforming, a tar model molecule. At 850 °C, an important conversion (95%) was observed for Fe/olivine during 7 h. The strong interaction between iron and olivine, and the equilibrium between Fe⁰/Fe^II/Fe^III seem to be responsible of the catalyst activity and stability in toluene steam reforming.
