Interplay of Antiferromagnetic Coupling and Spin Crossover in Dinuclear Iron(II) Complexes
2003
This article reports on the study of the interplay between magnetic coupling and spin transition in 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpym)-bridged iron(II) dinuclear compounds. Coexistence of both phenomena has been observed in [Fe(bpym)(NCS)2]2bpym, [Fe(bpym)(NCSe)2]2bpym and [Fe(bt)(NCS)2]2bpym (bpym = 2,2′-bipyrimidine, bt = 2,2′-bithiazoline) by the action of external physical factors namely pressure or electromagnetic radiation. Competition between magnetic exchange and spin crossover has been studied in [Fe(bpym)(NCS)2]2bpym at 6.3 kbar. LIESST experiments carried out in [Fe(bpym)(NCSe)2]2bpym and [Fe(bt)(NCS)2]2bpym at 4.2 K have shown that is possible to achieve dinuclear molecules with different…

A Modular Formal Total Synthesis of (±)-Cycloclavine
2016
Cycloclavine is a clavine-type Ergot alkaloid noteworthy for its unique pentacyclic skeleton featuring a 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane substructure. A short convergent route to the racemic alkaloid is described which comprises only eight linear steps and requires only four chromatographic purifications. The two key building blocks can be prepared in high yield from commercially available starting materials. Two consecutive coupling reactions, namely a selective alkylation of a dienolate and a Heck reaction, are the key steps of the reaction sequence.
Phosphine Ligands Based on the Ferrocenyl Platform: Advances in Catalytic Cross-Couplings
2023
Ferrocenyl skeletons tagged with a variety of donor atoms (metalloligands) have become popular in modern metal-catalyzed organic transformations, broadening the applications. Ferrocenylphosphines, such as 1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf), have been widely used as metalloligands in academic and industrial research, motivating further investigation into novel ferrocenylphosphine ligands. The current review concentrated non-exhaustively on emblematic applications of different ferrocenylphosphine ligands in transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling strategies. Initially, the stereochemical aspects of the ferrocenyl skeleton, nomenclature, and applications of chiral ferrocenyl phosphine…
Numerical simulation of fatigue-driven delamination using interface elements
2005
This paper presents a computational technique for the prediction of fatigue-driven delamination growth in composite materials. The interface element, which has been extensively applied to predict delamination growth due to static loading, has been modified to incorporate the effects of cyclic loading. Using a damage mechanics formulation, the constitutive law for the interface element has been extended by incorporating a modified version of a continuum fatigue damage model. The paper presents details of the fatigue degradation strategy and examples of the predicted fatigue delamination growth in mode I, mode II and mixed mode I/II are presented to demonstrate that the numerical model mimics…
Integrated multi-physics design tool for fusion breeding blanket systems - development and validation
2020
Il Breeding Blanket (BB) del reattore DEMO rappresenta un sistema complesso in un ambiente pericoloso. Infatti, esso deve soddisfare diversi requisiti e vincoli ingegneristici sia di tipo nucleare, termo-strutturale che di sicurezza. Per questi motivi, è necessaria una progettazione omnicomprensiva che preveda l'applicazione di strumenti avanzati di simulazione basati su approcci multi-fisici. Questi strumenti devono eseguire simultaneamente diversi tipi di analisi. Tre di esse possono essere considerate prioritarie e propedeutiche per lo studio di tutti gli altri fenomeni riguardanti il BB, vale a dire l´analisi nucleare, termo-fluidodinamica e strutturale. In questa tesi, è proposto un in…
Limit on the production of a light vector gauge boson in $\phi $ mesondecays with the KLOE detector
2012
We present a new limit on the production of a light dark-force mediator with the KLOE detector at DAPHNE. This boson, called U, has been searched for in the decay phi --> eta U, U --> e+ e-, analyzing the decay eta --> pi0 pi0 pi0 in a data sample of 1.7 fb-1. No structures are observed in the e+e- invariant mass distribution over the background. This search is combined with a previous result obtained from the decay eta --> pi+ pi- pi0, increasing the sensitivity. We set an upper limit at 90% C.L. on the ratio between the U boson coupling constant and the fine structure constant of alpha'/alpha < 1.7x10^-5 for 30<M_U<400 MeV and alpha'/alpha < 8x10^-6 for the sub-region 50<M_U<210 MeV. This…
Perpendicular transport properties of YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}/PrBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta} superlattices
2000
The coupling between the superconducting planes of YBa2Cu3O{7-\delta}/ PrBa2Cu3O{7-\delta} superlattices has been measured by c-axis transport. We show that only by changing the thickness of the superconducting YBa2Cu3O{7-\delta} layers, it is possible to switch between quasi-particle and Josephson tunneling. From our data we deduce a low temperature c-axis coherence length of 0.27 nm.
General restrictions for the relaxation constants of the polarization moments of the density matrix
1992
General inequalities for the relaxation constants of polarization moments are examined. Concrete numerical limitations for the values of these constants are obtained. In recent years it has been generally accepted to characterize the distribution of the angular momentum j of atomic as well as molecular states in the framework of the irreducible tensorial operators PG. The state is described by means of polarization moments p& which are the expansion coefficients of the angular momentum density matrix pm,,,, on the tensorial operators pz:
Effective pseudopotential for energy density functionals with higher-order derivatives
2011
We derive a zero-range pseudopotential that includes all possible terms up to sixth order in derivatives. Within the Hartree-Fock approximation, it gives the average energy that corresponds to a quasi-local nuclear Energy Density Functional (EDF) built of derivatives of the one-body density matrix up to sixth order. The direct reference of the EDF to the pseudopotential acts as a constraint that divides the number of independent coupling constants of the EDF by two. This allows, e.g., for expressing the isovector part of the functional in terms of the isoscalar part, or vice versa. We also derive the analogous set of constraints for the coupling constants of the EDF that is restricted by sp…
