Compact, cost-effective and field-portable microscope prototype based on MISHELF microscopy
2016
AbstractWe report on a reduced cost, portable and compact prototype design of lensless holographic microscope with an illumination/detection scheme based on wavelength multiplexing, working with single hologram acquisition and using a fast convergence algorithm for image processing. All together, MISHELF (initials coming from Multi-Illumination Single-Holographic-Exposure Lensless Fresnel) microscopy allows the recording of three Fresnel domain diffraction patterns in a single camera snap-shot incoming from illuminating the sample with three coherent lights at once. Previous implementations have proposed an illumination/detection procedure based on a tuned (illumination wavelengths centered…

2020
The measurements of Sr K-edge XAFS were performed under the approval of Proposal No. 97G042 of Photon Factory (KEK) and partially supported by the Research Grants of Hirosaki University. This work was supported by Bruce Ravel providing data for BTO. Boby Joseph acknowledges IISc Bangalore and ICTP Trieste for financial support through the award of the IISc-ICTP fellowship.
Syntheses and Structural Study of Novel Tetranuclear Bis(phenoxido)‐Bridged Cu II Metal–Organic Macrocycles
2012
Six new tetranuclear copper(II) complexes were prepared exploiting novel ditopic alkylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraphenolate ligands. The geometrical parameters of the compounds can be varied by introducing different solvents of crystallization into the lattice. The structures of all six complexes were determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and the magnetic properties of the complexes were estimated by computational DFT calculations. The relationship between the magnetic exchange coupling constant (J) and the Cu–O–Cu angle (θ) in these bis(phenoxido)-bridged complexes was investigated and a magnetostructural correlation was established between J and the θ angle. All studied …
Synthetic Pathways for New Tubular Transition Metal Hydroxo- and Fluoro-Selenites: Crystal Structures ofM12(X)2(SeO3)8(OH)6(M=Co2+,Ni2+;X= OH−)
1996
The dumortierite-family structuresM12X2(SeO3)8(OH)6(M= Co2+and Ni2+;X= OH−and F−) have been synthesized. The crystal structures of the hydroxo-derivatives have been refined from X?ray powder diffraction data in the space groupP63mc(Z= 1) witha= 12.887(3) A andc= 4.981(4) A (M= Co2+,X= OH−or F−) anda= 12.704(5) A andc= 4.925(6) A (M= Ni2+,X= OH−or F−). Application of the Partial Charge Transference Model allows the understanding of the selenite derivatives crystal chemistry.
Strategies for structure solution and refinement of small organic molecules from electron diffraction data and limitations of the simulation approach
1999
In recent years, a series of non-linear optically active bis(benzylidene) ketones have been synthesized and investigated by electron crystallography. In most cases, structure refinement was possible by combining electron diffraction analysis and quantum-mechanical calculations with maximum-entropy methods. However, when the torsional angles between the phenyl rings and the C=C double bonds are strongly affected by the crystal field, this method fails because packing-energy calculations are not sufficiently sensitive. This problem can be solved by refining the approximate model with SHELXL, if the data set is sufficiently accurate and the model close to the correct structure. Here it is show…
Structure determination to calculate nonlinear optical coefficients in a class of organic material
1999
A class of molecules with intramolecular two-dimensional charge transfer upon excitation has been synthesized. It is expected that these materials should be prospective candidates for nonlinear optical (NLO) applications such as second harmonic (SHG) generation. In order to optimize the macroscopic NLO properties of the compounds, it is necessary to relate their first hyperpolarizability tensors at a molecular level to those at a crystal bulk level. This requires a complete structure determination and refinement. However, the growth of sufficiently large single crystals, which are needed for structural analysis and refinement by x-ray methods, is a time-consuming and sometimes impossible ta…
ChemInform Abstract: Electron Crystallography and Organic Materials with Non-Linear Optical Properties
2010
Results of electron microscopic studies of crystal structures of a number of bis-benzylidene cyclohexanones are presented. It is shown that some of these compounds are efficient crystalline non-linear optically active (NLO) chromophores with second harmonic generation (SHG) properties. Appropriately functionalized chromophores of this type can be used as a polycondensation comonomer to produce partly crystalline main-chain NLO-active polymers. Electron diffraction crystal structural data, obtained for very small crystals, allowed us to get reasonable estimations of macroscopic crystal NLO-coefficients, relating quantum-chemically calculated molecular first hyperpolarizability components to …
Crystal chemistry and redox behaviour of antimony strontium calcium perovskites
2000
The compound Sr2Sb1.4Ca0.6O6 and their reduced forms Sr2Sb1.4Ca0.6O5.17 and Sr2Sb1.4Ca0.6O4.84 have been prepared and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, iodometric analyses and thermogravimetric analysis. The three phases with different oxygen stoichiometries are structurally related to the perovskite and show symmetry distortions from the ideal cubic structure (with cell parameter ap). The crystal structure of Sr2Sb1.4Ca0.6O6 may be refined by the Rietveld method from powder X-ray diffraction data using the space group P21/n, and the cell parameters a=5.776(2), b=5.7837(2), c=8.1718(3) A, β=90.039(3)° with the same structural model than for previously studied …

2014
The internal complex palladium 2,4-dimethyl-8- hydroselenoquinolinate Pd[C9H4(CH3)2NSe]2 (I) has been synthesized in the course of study of the complexing activity of 8- hydroselenoquinoline and investigation of the nature of chemical bond metal-selenium in the five-membered metal-containing ring. X-ray diffraction data for I: Monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 9.0092(4), b = 16.3290(7), c = 14.1073(6) A, = 106.710(2)o, V = 1987.7(2) A3, Z = 4, R1=0.0477, wR2=0.1182 for 4499 reflections (diffractometer Bruker-Nonius KappaCCD, MoK). The crystal structure of the complex I is formed by neutral asymmetric molecules Pd[C9H4(CH3)2NSe]2 in which the central atom palladium is connected bidentic…
Three anhydrous forms and a dihydrate form of quifenadine hydrochloride: a structural study of the thermodynamic stability and dehydration mechanism
2015
Crystal structures of dihydrate (DH) and three anhydrous forms (A, B and C) of quifenadine (1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-8-yl-diphenyl-methanol) hydrochloride are presented, and crystal structure information is used to explain and rationalize the relative stability of polymorphs and observed phase transformations. The dehydration mechanism of the hydrate is provided by interpreting the results obtained in studies of crystal structures, dehydration kinetics and thermal analysis. Structural analysis is used to explain the observed relative stability of the anhydrous phases and the hydrate. The crystal structures have been determined either from single crystal (form DH) or from powder diffraction da…
