A new method for radiochemical separation of arsenic from irradiated germanium oxide.

2005

Abstract Radioarsenic labelled radiopharmaceuticals could be a valuable asset to Positron Emission Tomography (PET). In particular, the long half-lives of 72 As ( T 1/2 =26 h) and 74 As ( T 1/2 =17.8 d) allow to investigate slow physiological or metabolical processes, like the enrichment and distribution of antibodies in tumor tissue. This work describes the direct production of no-carrier-added (nca) arsenic isotopes *As, with *=71, 72, 73, 74 or 77, the reaction to [*As]AsI 3 and its radiochemical separation from the irradiated solid germanium oxide via polystyrene-based solid-phase extraction. The germanium oxide target, irradiated at a cyclotron or a nuclear reactor, is dissolved in con…

Lattice Dynamics Study of HgGa2Se4 at High Pressures

2013

We report on Raman scattering measurements in mercury digallium selenide (HgGa2Se4) up to 25 GPa. We also performed, for the low-pressure defect-chalcopyrite structure, lattice-dynamics ab initio calculations at high pressures which agree with experiments. Measurements evidence that the semiconductor HgGa2Se4 exhibits a pressure-induced phase transition above 19 GPa to a previously undetected structure. This transition is followed by a transformation to a Raman-inactive phase above 23.4 GPa. On downstroke from 25 GPa until 2.5 GPa, a broad Raman spectrum was observed, which has been attributed to a fourth phase, and whose pressure dependence was followed during a second upstroke. Candidate …

Hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals with broad-range blue phases

2019

We report a modular supramolecular approach for the investigation of chirality induction in hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals. An exceptionally broad blue phase with a temperature range of 25 °C was found, which enabled its structural investigation by solid state 19F-NMR studies and allowed us to report order parameters of the blue phase I for the first time.

Dry synthesis of B-MFI, MTN- and MTW-type materials

1997

Abstract B-MFI and MTN-type materials were synthesized via the fluoride route from dry powders in the complete absence of a solution phase. Amorphous precursors obtained by drying SiO 2 · Al 2 O 3 gels at 700°C were transformed into MTN-type material in the presence of dried NH 4 F and TMACl. Amorphous precursors obtained by drying SiO 2 gels at 700°C were transformed into B-MFI in the presence of dried NH 4 F, B 2 O 3 and TPABr. Water is formed as a reaction product. However, the water vapor pressure is appreciably below the water vapor saturation pressure under the given reaction conditions. In addition, syntheses using seed crystals were carried out successfully.

Carbocatalytic Oxidative Dehydrogenative Couplings of (Hetero)Aryls by Oxidized Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Liquid Phase

2019

HNO3-oxidized carbon nanotubes catalyze oxidative dehydrogenative (ODH) carbon-carbon bond formation between electron-rich (hetero)aryls with O-2 as a terminal oxidant. The recyclable carbocatalytic method provides a convenient and an operationally easy synthetic protocol for accessing various benzofused homodimers, biaryls, triphenylenes, and related benzofused heteroaryls that are highly useful frameworks for material chemistry applications. Carbonyls/quinones are the catalytically active site of the carbocatalyst as indicated by model compounds and titration experiments. Further investigations of the reaction mechanism with a combination of experimental and DFT methods support the compet…

Direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate with supercritical carbon dioxide: characterization of a key organotin oxide intermediate

2006

The direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) using carbon dioxide as solvent and reagent for its fixation to methanol was explored with din-butyldimethoxystannane in order to get insight into the reaction mechanism for activity improvement. Catalytic runs including recycling experiments allowed isolation and characterization by NMR, IR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction of a new tin complex containing 10 tin atoms. This compound could be prepared independently and is considered as a resting species. The yield of DMC is highest under 20 MPa pressure that fits with a monophasic supercritical medium in agreement with fluid phase equilibria calculations. In line, preliminary kinetics and…

Kinetics of the formation reactions of trichloro- and tribromomethyl hypohalites and alcohols in the gas-phase: Theoretical study

2007

Abstract The CX3OY molecules (X = Cl, Br and Y = H, F, Cl, Br) can be formed in the atmosphere by the recombination CX3 + OY and CX3O + Y reactions. In the present study the results of a theoretical analysis of the kinetics and thermochemistry of this class of reactions are performed. The molecular properties of the reactants and products were derived from ab initio calculations. The high-pressure limiting rate constants for the recombination reactions were evaluated using a version of the statistical adiabatic channel model. The kinetic equations derived in this study allow a description of the kinetics of the reactions under investigation in the temperature range of 200–400 K.

Surface phase transitions at O and CO catalytic reaction on Pd(111)

2006

Abstract The model has been proposed to simulate numerically the reaction O + CO → CO2 and occurring phase transitions on Pd(1 1 1) surface. We calculate the phase diagram for this system by kinetic Monte Carlo method. It shows the phase transitions p ( 2 × 2 ) O → 3 × 3 R 30 O ° and p ( 2 × 2 ) O → 3 × 3 R 30 O ° → p ( 2 × 1 ) O with increase of CO coverage for room and intermediate temperatures, respectively, while in the low temperature limit the direct p(2 × 2)O → p(2 × 1)O phase transition is observed. We demonstrate that the reaction rate is the crucial factor determining the occurrence of the p(2 × 1)O phase and vanishing of the 3 × 3 R 30 O ° with decrease of temperature. The result…

Preparation and structural analysis of Fe2+xTi1−x thin films in the C14 Laves phase stability range

2002

Abstract We report the epitaxial growth of single phase (0 0 1)-oriented thin films of Fe2+xTi1−x in the C14 Laves phase stability range using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The growth was studied by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The onset temperature for epitaxial growth and the temperature range for improved crystalline coherence were identified. From X-ray reflectometry analysis the rms roughness was estimated to 0.5 nm for typical film thicknesses of 22 nm. As revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), this roughness is discrete and due to step edges corresponding to the full c-axis length of Fe2Ti. The epitaxial growth implies an …
