Crystal structure and magnetism of the double perovskites A2FeReO6 (A=Ca, Sr, Ba)
2004
Abstract We synthesized a series of double perovskites A 2 FeReO 6 (A=Ca, Sr, Ba) with Curie temperatures above room-temperature. Neutron and X-ray diffraction analysis have been performed in order to determine the structural and (local) magnetic properties of these materials. While Ba 2 FeReO 6 stays cubic over the whole temperature range we examined, the Sr-compound shows a tetragonal distortion of the perovskite structure which does not completely vanish up to about 520 K far above T C . Ca 2 FeReO 6 has a monoclinic unit cell at high temperatures. Below 400 K a phase separation in two monoclinic phases with identical cell volume is observed in neutron scattering.
ChemInform Abstract: Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of α-Mn(H2PO2)2× H2O.
2010
Abstract The crystal structure of α-Mn(H2PO2)2·H2O has been refined from X-ray powder diffraction data. The cell is monoclinic (space group P21/c, Z − 4) with α = 7.8601(3) A , b = 7.4411(3) A , c = 10.7717(4) A and β = 102.859(2)°. The structure was refined with the Rietveld refinement principles, using as starting model the parameters of the presumably isostructural compound Zn(H2PO2)2·H2O. The structure can be described as being formed by dimeric entities Mn2O2 of edge-sharing manganese octahedra. Each group is linked through Mn-O-P-O-Mn bridges to four other groups, resulting in a three-dimensional network. The thermal variation in the susceptibility shows a sharp peak at T = 6.5 K and …
Hexakis(dimethylformamide)iron(II) complex cation in hexahalorhenate(IV)-based salts: synthesis, X-ray structure and magnetic properties
2018
Two iron(II)-rhenium(IV) compounds of general formula [FeII(dmf)6][ReIVX6] [X = Cl (1) and Br (2); dmf = N,N-dimethylformamide] have been prepared and characterized. X-ray powder diffraction measurements on samples of 1 and 2 support the same structure for both systems. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group Pī. Each iron(II) is six-coordinate and bonded to six oxygens from six dmf molecules building a distorted octahedral environment. Rhenium(IV) is six-coordinate by six halide anions in an almost regular octahedral geometry. The magnetic properties were investigated from variable-temperature ma…
The essential identity of the framework structures of ZSM-8 and ZSM-5
1994
The crystal structures of TEA-ZSM-8 and its calcined template-free form have been studied by Rietveld analyses based on X-ray powder diffraction data. The results show that the aluminosilicate framework structure of ZSM-8 is essentially identical to that of ZSM-5. The tetraethylammonium molecule could be located in the difference Fourier analysis yielding positions similar to its TPA counterpart in ZSM-5. Lattice constants of ZSM-8 are in the same range as for ZSM-5. Contrary results are related to incorrectly indexed powder patterns. Optical investigations of ZSM-5 and ZSM-8 crystals showed that the zeolites studied here are both twinned exhibiting differently shaped twin individuals.
Preparation and structural studies on diorganotin(IV) complexes of N-nitroso-N-phenylhydroxylaminates
2007
Abstract Diorganotin(IV)-complexes of the N -nitroso- N -phenylhydroxylaminates (hereinafter cupf), Et 2 Sn(cupf) 2 ( 1 ), Bu 2 Sn(cupf) 2 ( 2 ), {[Bu 2 Sn(cupf)] 2 O} 2 ( 3 ), t -Bu 2 Sn(cupf) 2 ( 4 ) and Oc 2 Sn(cupf) 2 ( 5 , 6 ) were prepared and characterised by FT-IR and Mossbauer spectroscopic measurements. The binding modes of the ligand were identified by FT-IR spectroscopy, and it was found that the ligand is coordinated in chelating or bridging mode to the organotin(IV) center. The 119 Sn Mossbauer and FT-IR studies support the formation of trans -O h ( 1 – 6 ) structures. The X-ray diffraction analysis of 4 revealed that the tin centre is in a skew-trapezoidal geometry defined by…
Fabrication of quercetin and curcumin bionanovesicles for the prevention and rapid regeneration of full-thickness skin defects on mice
2013
In the present work biocompatible quercetin and curcumin nanovesicles were developed as a novel approach to prevent and restore skin tissue defects on chronic cutaneous pathologies. Stable and suitable quercetin- and curcumin-loaded phospholipid vesicles, namely liposomes and penetration enhancer-containing vesicles (PEVs), were prepared. Vesicles were made from a highly biocompatible mixture of phospholipids and alternatively a natural polyphenol, quercetin or curcumin. Liposomes were obtained by adding water, while PEVs by adding polyethylene glycol 400 and Oramix®CG110 to the water phase. Transmission electron microscopy, cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy and small- and wide-ang…
Spin-Crossover and Liquid Crystal Properties in 2D Cyanide-Bridged FeII−MI/II Metalorganic Frameworks
2010
Novel two-dimensional heterometallic Fe(II)-M(Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), Ag(I), and Au(I)) cyanide-bridged metalorganic frameworks exhibiting spin-crossover and liquid crystal properties, formulated as {FeL(2)[M(I/II)(CN)(x)](y)}·sH(2)O, where L are the ligands 4-(4-alkoxyphenyl)pyridine, 4-(3,4-dialkoxyphenyl)pyridine, and 4-(3,4,5-trisalkoxyphenyl)pyridine, have been synthesized and characterized. The physical characterization has been carried out by means of EXAFS, X-ray powder diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, differential scanning measurements, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The 2D Fe(II) metallomesogens undergo incomplete and continuous thermally induced spin transition at T(1/2) ≈ 170 …

The primary structural photoresponse of phytochrome proteins captured by a femtosecond X-ray laser
2019
Phytochrome proteins control the growth, reproduction, and photosynthesis of plants, fungi, and bacteria. Light is detected by a bilin cofactor, but it remains elusive how this leads to activation of the protein through structural changes. We present serial femtosecond X-ray crystallographic data of the chromophore-binding domains of a bacterial phytochrome at delay times of 1 ps and 10 ps after photoexcitation. The data reveal a twist of the D-ring, which leads to partial detachment of the chromophore from the protein. Unexpectedly, the conserved so-called pyrrole water is photodissociated from the chromophore, concomitant with movement of the A-ring and a key signaling aspartate. The chan…
