Interaction of half-sandwich alkylmolybdenum(III) complexes with B(C6F5)3. The X-ray structure of [CpMo(η4-C4H6)(μ-Cl)(μ-CH2)(O)MoCp][CH3B(C6F5)3]
2001
Abstract The reactions of the half-sandwich molybdenum(III) complexes CpMo(η 4 -C 4 H 4 R 2 )(CH 3 ) 2 , where Cpη 5 -C 5 H 5 and RH or CH 3 , with equimolar amounts of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 have been investigated in toluene. EPR monitoring shows the formation of an addition product which does not readily react with Lewis bases such as ethylene, pyridine, or PMe 3 . The analysis of the EPR properties and the X-ray structure of a decomposition product obtained from dichloromethane, [CpMo(η 4 -C 4 H 6 )(μ-Cl)(μ-CH 2 )(O)MoCp][CH 3 B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ], indicate that the borane attack has occurred at the methyl position.
Crucial dependence of excimer laser toughness of “wet” silica on excess oxygen
2011
Creation of point defects by ArF (6.4 eV) and F2 laser (7.9 eV) irradiation in synthetic “wet” silica glass thermally loaded with interstitial O2 molecules was studied by optical absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance and infrared absorption. The presence of excess oxygen caused a significant increase of laser-induced ultraviolet (UV) absorption, which was 4 times (7.9 eV-irradiation) and > 20 times stronger (ArF irradiation) as compared to O2-free samples. The spectral shape of photoinduced absorption nearly completely coincided with the spectral shape of oxygen dangling bonds (NBOHC) in 3 to 6.5 eV regions. The contribution of Si dangling bonds (E' centers) was less than few % and wa…
Spin crossover behavior in a series of iron(III) alkoxide complexes.
2015
The synthesis, crystal structures, magnetic behavior, and electron paramagnetic resonance studies of five new FeIII spin crossover (SCO) complexes are reported. The [FeIIIN5O] coordination core is constituted of the pentadentate ligand bztpen (N5) and a series of alkoxide anions (ethoxide, propoxide, n-butoxide, isobutoxide, and ethylene glycoxide). The methoxide derivative previously reported by us is also reinvestigated. The six complexes crystallize in the orthorhombic Pbca space group and show similar molecular structures and crystal packing. The coordination octahedron is strongly distorted in both the high- and low-temperature structures. The structural changes upon spin conversion ar…
Interstitial defects in diamond: A quantum mechanical simulation of their EPR constants and vibrational spectra
2020
The local geometry, electronic structure, and vibrational features of three vicinal double interstitial defects in diamond, ICIC, ICIN, and ININ, are investigated and compared with those of three "simple" ⟨100⟩ interstitial defects, ICC, ICN, and INN, previously reported by Salustro et al. [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 20, 16615 (2018)], using a similar quantum mechanical approach based on the B3LYP functional constructed from Gaussian-type basis sets, within a supercell scheme, as implemented in the CRYSTAL code. For the first time, the Fermi contact term and hyperfine coupling tensor B of the four open shell structures, ICIC, ICIN, ICC, and ICN, are evaluated and compared with the available ex…
Fluorescence and spin properties of defects in single digit nanodiamonds
2009
International audience; This article reports stable photoluminescence and high-contrast optically detected electron spin resonance (ODESR) from single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect centers created within ultrasmall, disperse nanodiamonds of radius less than 4 nm. Unexpectedly, the efficiency for the production of NV fluorescent defects by electron irradiation is found to be independent of the size of the nanocrystals. Fluorescence lifetime imaging shows lifetimes with a mean value of around 17 ns, only slightly longer than the bulk value of the defects. After proper surface cleaning, the dephasing times of the electron spin resonance in the nanocrystals approach values of some microseconds, …
Analysis of the spatial distribution of free radicals in ammonium tartrate by pulse EPR techniques
2009
Using pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) on a series of l(+)-ammonium tartrate (AT) dosimeters exposed to radiations with different linear energy transfer (LET), we assessed the ability of pulse EPR spectroscopy to discriminate the quality of various radiation beams such as (60)Co gamma-ray photons, protons and thermal neutrons at various doses by analyzing the local radical distributions produced by the different beams. We performed two types of pulse EPR investigations: two-pulse electron spin echo decay obtained by varying the microwave power, and a double electron-electron resonance (DEER) study. Both methods provide information about the dipolar interactions among the free rad…
Squaramide-based reagent for selective chromogenic sensing of Cu(II) through a zwitterion radical.
2010
A minimalist squaramide-based chemodosimeter for Cu(2+) is described. Upon selective chelation to 2, Cu(2+) induces the formation of a highly colored zwitterionic radical, which is kinetically stable for hours. The presence of a radical is confirmed by EPR and ESI-MS. It is then possible to use reagent 2 for visual and selective sensing of Cu(2+) at neutral pH.
DC electrical resistivity of Nb-Doped BaTiO3 and EPR measurements
1992
DC electrical resistivity measurements along the c-axis of Nb-doped BaTiO3 single crystals are presented in a wide range of temperature, covering the four phases, with special attention to the rhomboedral one. The temperature dependence of the conductivity leads to convincing arguments in favour of a polaronic mechanism. Below the orthorhombic-rhomboedral transition point, a strong increase of the resistivity is observed. The correlation of this behavior with EPR analysis in the same temperature range, is consistent with a sharp trapping of the ''free'' electrons, when the temperature decreases.
EPR Studies of Oxidation of Iron and Free Radicals Formation after Dessication of Oxyhemoglobin by Freeze-Drying and Spray-Drying
1992
Dans les Centres de Transfusion Sanguine, les hematies a peremption sont inutilisables. Elles peuvente transformees en solution d’hemoglobine en vue d’une utilisation potentielle pour transfuser, mais cela suppose, pour ce type de produit sanguin que les problemes de conservation resultant de l’oxydation de Fe(II) de I’heme soient resolus. Pour minimiser ce phenomene, on a voulu dessecher des preparations d’hemoglobines seules ou en presence de protecteur par differentes techniques a caractere industriel en vue d’etudier les produits formes au cours de ces traitements de dessiccation.
Growth of paramagnetic defects by gamma rays irradiation in oxygen-deficient silica
2005
Abstract We report an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of gamma rays irradiation effects on an oxygen-deficient silica obtained from fused quartz. We have found that three types of E′ centers, E α ′ , E γ ′ and E δ ′ , and a paramagnetic defect in a spin triplet state (S = 1) are induced. The EPR signals dependence on the microwave power have been investigated. The concentrations of these centers as a function of gamma ray irradiation show that for high dose a limit value is reached suggesting a generation process from precursors.
