Synthesis, crystal structure, optical, thermal and magnetic studies of a new organic-inorganic hybrid based on tetrachloroferrate (III)
2021
Abstract A new organic metal halide hybrid, benzyltrimethylammonium tetrachloroferrate (III), 1, ((BzMe3N)FeCl4) was synthesized by slow evaporation. The single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that 1, crystallizes in the P-1 triclinic space group with the parameters a = 7.158 (5), b = 8.814 (8), c = 12.922 (4) A, α = 82.44 (5), β = 86.14 (4), γ = 87.13 (7)°, V = 805.7 (10) A3 and Z = 2. The structure packing exhibits a cationic and anionic layers alternation linked by means of C─H⋯Cl hydrogen interactions. The Hirshfeld surface and the lattice energy of 1 were calculated. The material purity was verified using X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld refinements. The TG-DTA a…
Raman spectroscopic study of some lead phosphate glasses with tungsten ions
2006
Abstract The structure of x WO 3 · (100 − x )[2P 2 O 5 · PbO] glass system with 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 50 mol% was investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The characteristic bands of these glasses due to the stretching and bending vibrations were identified and analyzed by the increasing of WO 3 content. This fact allowed us to identify the specific structural units which appear in these glasses and thus to point out the network modifier role of tungsten oxide for low concentrations and its former role at high concentrations.
Comparison of numerical modelling techniques for impact investigation on a wind turbine blade
2019
Wind turbine blades are exposed to numerous impact risks throughout their lifetimes. The impact risks range from bird collisions during operation to impacts with surrounding structures at the time of transportation and installation. Impact loads on the fibre composite blades can induce several complex, simultaneously interacting and visually undetectable damage modes and have a high potential to reduce the local and global blade stiffness. An assessment of such impact-induced damages is therefore necessary and usually involves high computational costs using numerical procedures, especially when analysing large composite components. To minimise this computational expense, different numerical…
Numerical investigation of rain droplet impact on offshore wind turbine blades under different rainfall conditions: A parametric study
2020
The leading edge of a fiber composite wind turbine blade (WTB) is prone to erosion damages due to repeated rain droplet impact during its service life. Such damages are critical to the blade's aerodynamic as well as structural performance, ultimately resulting in substantial repair costs. An effective design of a coating material for WTB is necessary and its analysis must include variables associated with erosive rain droplets such as (1) droplet diameter, (2) impact velocity, and (3) droplet impact angle. The present paper develops and validates a coupled fluid structure interaction (FSI) computational model for simulating rain droplet impact on WTBs, where the structure domain is modelled…
Heterogeneity at the glass transition: what do we know?
2002
We critically discuss the information that can be obtained from experiments with respect to the existence, the life time, and the length scale of dynamical heterogeneity in glass-forming liquids. The ability to select a dynamically distinguishable subensemble and observe its return to the full equilibrium ensemble is illustrated by examples from multi-dimensional NMR. We also discuss non-resonant hole burning spectroscopy as an example for which two separate time scales are involved.
Length-scale effects in the nucleation of extended dislocations in nanocrystalline Al by molecular-dynamics simulation
2001
The nucleation of extended dislocations from the grain boundaries in nanocrystalline aluminum is studied by molecular-dynamics simulation. The length of the stacking fault connecting the two Shockley partials that form the extended dislocation, i.e., the dislocation splitting distance, rsplit, depends not only on the stacking-fault energy but also on the resolved nucleation stress. Our simulations for columnar grain microstructures with a grain diameter, d, of up to 70 nm reveal that the magnitude of rsplit relative to d represents a critical length scale controlling the low-temperature mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline materials. For rsplit>d, the first partials nucleated from the bou…
An unprecedented hetero-bimetallic three-dimensional spin crossover coordination polymer based on the tetrahedral [Hg(SeCN)4]2− building block
2019
[EN] Self-assembly of octahedral FeII ions, trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl) ethane (bpe) bridging ligands and [Hg(XCN)(4)](2-) (X = S (1), Se (2)) tetrahedral building blocks has afforded a new type of hetero-bimetallic Hg-II-Fe-II spin-crossover (SCO) 3D 6,4-connected coordination polymer (CP) formulated {Fe(bpe)[Hg(XCN)(4)]}(n). For X = S (1), the ligand field is close to the crossing point but 1 remains paramagnetic over all temperatures. In contrast, for X = Se (2) the complex undergoes complete thermal induced SCO behaviour centred at T-1/2 = 107.8 K and complete photoconversion of the low spin state into a metastable high-spin state (LIESST effect) with T-LIESST = 66.7 K. The current results…
More electron rich than cyclopentadienyl: 1,2-diaza-3,5-diborolyl as a ligand in ferrocene and ruthenocene analogs
2011
Ruthenium and iron sandwich complexes incorporating cyclopentadienyl analogs with CB(2)N(2)(-) skeletons were characterized. Electrochemical measurements supported by computational studies revealed that in combination with larger metal ions such as Ru the CB(2)N(2)(-) ligand can be more electron-rich than its organic counterpart.
A dinucleating ligand which promotes DNA cleavage with one and without a transition metal ion.
2013
The dinucleating ligand L (1,3-bis[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]propan-2-ol) combined with metal ions efficiently cleaves DNA when M : L is 1 : 1 (M = Co(II) or Fe(III)) at pH 5.5–7.0, with free L being more active at acidic pH than when bound to Zn(II), Cu(II) or Ni(II) at neutral pH.
A non-heme dinuclear iron(II) complex containing a single, unsupported hydroxo bridge.
2006
Complexation of the tetrapodal pentadentate NN4 ligand 2,6-C5H3N[CMe(CH2NH2)2]2 (I) with iron(II) perchlorate hydrate in methanol, in the presence of N-methylimidazole, produces a diferrous complex with a single, unsupported mu-OH ligand between two {(I)FeII} coordination modules.
