ChemInform Abstract: Formation in Solution, Synthesis and Crystal Structure of μ-Oxalatobis(bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amido)dicopper(II).
Abstract The compound μ-oxalatobis[bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amido] dicopper(II), [Cu 2 {(NCsH 5 CO) 2 N} 2 - (C 2 O 4 )] was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy, EPR and diffraction methods. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with cell constants: a =7.6793(6), b =9.238(2), c =10.007(2) A, α=83.80(1), β=68.37(1) and γ=69.44(1)°; V =617.7(3) A 3 , D (calc., Z =2)=1.80 g cm −3 , M r =667.6, F (000)=336, λ, (Mo Kα)=0.71069 A, μ (Mo Kα)=17.895 cm −1 and T =295 K. A total of 3587 data were collected over the range of 1 ⩽ θ ⩽ 30°; of these, 2391 (independent and with I⩾2σ( I )) were used in the structural analysis. The final R and R w residuals were 0.049 and 0.053, respective…
High-pressure structural and lattice dynamical study ofHgWO4
We have synthesized monoclinic mercury tungstate $({\text{HgWO}}_{4})$ and characterized its structural and vibrational properties at room conditions. Additionally, we report the structural and lattice dynamical behavior of ${\text{HgWO}}_{4}$ under high pressure studied by means of x-ray diffraction and Raman-scattering measurements up to 16 GPa and 25 GPa, respectively. The pressure dependence of the structural parameters and Raman-active first-order phonons of monoclinic $C2/c$ ${\text{HgWO}}_{4}$ are discussed in the light of our theoretical first-principles total-energy and lattice dynamics calculations. Our measurements show that the monoclinic phase of ${\text{HgWO}}_{4}$ is stable u…
Effect of annealing on Zn1−xCoxO thin films prepared by electrodeposition
Polycrystalline thin films of Zn"1"-"xCo"xO with different cobalt (Co) content were grown on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates by cathodic electrodeposition technique and subsequently annealed in air at 400^oC. The effect of annealing in their structural, optical and chemical properties has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman scattering and optical spectroscopy. Our measurements indicate that moderate annealing increases the crystal quality of the films. The films are highly transparent in the visible range and evidence an increase of the band gap and of the intensity of three typical Co absorptio…
Cathodic electrodeposition of ZnCoO thin films
We report on the characterization of ternary Zn1–xCoxO alloy crystalline films grown by electrodeposition onto FTO-coated substrates. The Zn1–xCoxO films have hexagonal wurtzite structure as shown by X-ray diffraction measurements. The Co incorporation into the ZnO lattice is confirmed by the presence of absorption peaks assigned to Co in trigonal crystal field. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy indicates that as-grown films have a considerable concentration of not-fully oxidized metallic Co in the surface that correlates with the O concentration in the surface. Finally, Raman measurements of as-grown films indicate that they are polycrystalline with grains of nanometric size showing short-r…

High-pressure theoretical and experimental study of HgWO4
HgWO 4 at ambient pressure is characterized using a combination of ab initio calculations, X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements. The effect of low pressure and temperature on the structural stability is analysed. Extending our ab initio study to the range of higher pressures, a sequence of stable phases up to 30GPa is proposed. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.
Optical properties of thin films of ZnO prepared by pulsed laser deposition
In this paper we report on the structural features and optical properties of wurtzite ZnO films epitaxially grown on sapphire, fluorite and mica substrates by means of pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Post-deposition annealing results in a clear improvement of the film quality, reflected by the small width of the exciton-related lines in both the absorption and the photoluminescence spectra. Photoluminescence spectra revealed a multi-line structure which is identified in term of free excitons and excitons complexes with neutral donors and deep centers. The relative intensity of the PL lines mainly depends on the nature of the substrate used. Concerning optoelectronic applications it is especi…
Optical and magnetic properties of ZnCoO thin films synthesized by electrodeposition
Ternary Zn1−xCoxO crystalline films with different compositions were grown by electrodeposition. The Co content in the final compound is linked to the initial Co/Zn ratio in the starting solution. X-ray diffraction reveals a wurtzite structure for the Zn1−xCoxO films. Transmittance spectra show two effects proportional to Co content, a redshift of the absorption edge and three absorption bands, which are both interpreted to be due to the Co incorporated into the ZnO lattice. The amount of deposited charge was used to get a precise control of the film thickness. Magnetic measurements point out that Co(II) ions are isolated from each other, and consequently the films are paramagnetic. Francis…
