A Homoleptic Alkynyl‐Ligated [Au 13 Ag 16 L 24 ] 3− Cluster as a Catalytically Active Eight‐Electron Superatom
2020
A new alkynylated cluster [Au13 Ag16 (C10 H6 NO)24 ]3- is prepared by a NaBH4 mediated reduction method. The AuAg clusters are confirmed by sophisticated characterization techniques. It has a unique "Aucenter @Ag12 @Au12 Ag4 " metal framework which is protected by 24 atypical alkyne ligands L (L=C10 H6 NO). The ligands construct a unique type of motif L-(Ag)-Au-(Ag)-L at the cluster interface, where the alkyne (C≡C) group of each L was linked by sharing an Au atom through the σ bonds and each C≡C group was discretely connected to a chemically different Ag atom (Agicosahedral /Agcap ) through π bonds. The electronic and optical properties of [Au13 Ag16 L24 ]3- were studied. DFT characterized…
A step further in the comprehension of the magnetic coupling in gadolinium(III)-based carboxylate complexes
2013
Three new gadolinium(III) complexes of formula [Gd4(bta) 3(H2O)16]n·12nH2O (1), [Gd4(bta)3(H2O)12] n·18nH2O (2) and [Gd2(H 2bta)(bta)(H2O)2]n·4nH 2O (3) (H4bta = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid) have been synthesized and their structures determined by X-ray diffraction. 1 and 3 are three-dimensional compounds whereas 2 exhibits a two-dimensional structure. The ability of the bta4- to adopt different coordination modes accounts for these high dimensionalities although it precludes a rational structural design. The structures of 1-3 have in common the double oxo-carboxylate bridge between gadolinium(III) ions (μ-O: κ2O,O′) either as a discrete units (1 and 2) or as a chain (3) and one (3)…
New rotational levels in $^{186}$Re nucleus
2020
International audience; Excited levels of 186 Re have been studied using results of the single γ -ray spectra measurements following the thermal neutron capture reaction. Energies and intensities of more than 500 γ -transitions have been obtained with the high-resolution crystal diffraction spectrometer GAMS5 of ILL. Most of the obtained intense γ -transitions have been placed in the 186 Re level scheme. A number of new levels, as well as the depopulation for levels observed earlier in the 187 Re (p,d)186 Re reaction measurements have been proposed. Structure of 186 Re levels is interpreted in terms of two-quasiparticle plus rotor coupling model and compared with that of the neighbouring do…
Coupling of Benzynezirconocene with 1,4-Diphenyl-1,3-butadiyne
2000
The thermolysis of diphenylzirconocene in the presence of 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiyne to yield the seven-membered zirconacyclocumulene 1 via the intermediacy of benzynezirconocene is described. This complex has been characterized by an X-ray diffraction study. Additionally, better knowledge of the bonding of the cumulene moiety was achieved by DFT calculations. Cleavage of the Zr−C bonds of 1 with methanol provided the corresponding butatriene 2.
Small-x, Diffraction and Vector Mesons
2015
This talk discusses recent progress in some topics relevant for deep inelastic scattering at small x. We discuss first differences and similarities between conventional collinear factorization and the dipole picture of deep inelastic scattering. Many of the recent theoretical advances at small x are related to taking calculations in the nonlinear saturation regime to next-to-leading order accuracy in the QCD coupling. On the experimental side significant recent progress has been made in exclusive and diffractive processes, in particular in ultraperipheral nucleus-nucleus collisions.
Damage and plasticity at the interfaces in composite materials and structures
2009
Abstract The structural behavior at the interface between two surfaces of ductile, brittle or quasi-brittle materials is studied by a new analytical elastoplastic damaging model. The model is developed in the framework of a thermodynamically consistent theory. The Helmholtz free energy is written to predict the materials’ hardening or softening. An isotropic damage is considered and the possible effects of dilatancy are taken into account including non-associative flow rules. The interface laws are presented both in a rate and a discrete incremental form. The analytical formulation is then implemented into a finite element code and two structural members are studied to validate the model. T…
Electron paramagnetic resonance study of exchange coupled Ce3+ ions in Lu2SiO5 single crystal scintillator
2016
Abstract The Ce 3+ ions incorporation inside lutetium oxyorthosilicate (Lu 2 SiO 5 ) single crystals was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance. Already known Ce1 and Ce2 centers originating from the lattice peculiarity allowing two lutetium sites coordinated by different number of the oxygen ions were detected. Remarkably, for the Ce2 center, the determined g 2 tensor is asymmetric and could not be diagonalized as compared to the Ce1 center, for which the three principal values and corresponding axes orientation have been determined and reported previously. Besides, the much weaker resonance lines found in spectra close to those coming from the Ce1 and Ce2, and following them under cry…
A Next‐Generation Air‐Stable Palladium(I) Dimer Enables Olefin Migration and Selective C−C Coupling in Air
2020
Abstract We report a new air‐stable PdI dimer, [Pd(μ‐I)(PCy2 tBu)]2, which triggers E‐selective olefin migration to enamides and styrene derivatives in the presence of multiple functional groups and with complete tolerance of air. The same dimer also triggers extremely rapid C−C coupling (alkylation and arylation) at room temperature in a modular and triply selective fashion of aromatic C−Br, C−OTf/OFs, and C−Cl bonds in poly(pseudo)halogenated arenes, displaying superior activity over previous PdI dimer generations for substrates that bear substituents ortho to C−OTf.
Shear moduli of two dimensional binary glasses
2012
The shear moduli of two-component glasses in two dimensions are studied within mode coupling theory. Varying the concentration, strong mixing effects are observed along the glass transition lines for two interaction potentials. Nonoverlapping disks with size ratios between 0.3 and 0.9, and point particles interacting with (magnetic) dipoles of strength ratio between 0.1 and 0.6 are considered. Equilibrium structure factors (partially obtained from Monte Carlo simulations) and glass form factors, and perturbative calculations show that a softening of the elastic shear constant of glass upon adding another component arises from a dilution effect of the majority component. For very disparate m…
Diquark-diquark correlations in theS01ΛΛpotential
2005
We derive a $\ensuremath{\Lambda}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ potential from a chiral constituent quark model that has been successful in describing one, two, and three nonstrange baryon systems. The resulting interaction at low energy is attractive at all distances due to the $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ exchange term. The attraction allows for a slightly bound state just below the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ threshold. No short-range repulsive core is found. We extract the diquark-diquark contribution that turns out to be the most attractive and probable at small distances. At large distances the asymptotic behavior of the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ interaction provides a…
