Adsorption and diffusion of a molybdenum atom on theTiO2(110)surface: A first-principles study

2007

A study on the structure and energetics of a single molybdenum atom adsorbed on the $\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}(110)$ surface is reported. All possible adsorption sites have been determined. Moreover, it is found that incorporation of the Mo atom into the first surface layer leads to considerably more stable structures than on any adsorption site. Different channels for migration of the molybdenum atom have been identified. The diffusion barriers of these channels have been determined. The results on structure and energetics are discussed by analyzing the electronic properties of the $\mathrm{Mo}∕\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}(110)$ systems.

Properties of titanium dioxide

2021

"Properties of titanium dioxide" presents a survey of the main physicochemical properties of TiO2 upon which rely all of the applications of this material. Structures and morphologies of titanium dioxide have been taken into account, also in correlation with thermodynamic properties. Bulk and surface defectivity has been described in detail, because of its relevant consequences in terms of catalytic activity. The basic mechanisms of interaction between photons and TiO2 have been discussed on the basis of the optoelectronic features of the semiconductor. Finally, electrical, mechanical, and rheological properties of TiO2 have been presented.

ExTTF-Based Dyes Absorbing over the Whole Visible Spectrum

2011

International audience; New push−pull dyes featuring π-extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) as the donor group and tricyanofuran (TCF) as the acceptor group were synthesized and characterized. Their broad absorption covers the entire visible spectral range and enters the near-infrared region. Electrochemistry and theoretical calculations provided an understanding of these singular electronic properties. The new dyes are appealing candidates as light harvesters in photovoltaic devices.

Electronic properties of poly(pyrrylene vinylenes): a theoretical approach

1993

Abstract We present a theoretical investigation of the electronic properties of poly(pyrrylene vinylene) and its methyl and methoxy derivatives by using the valence effective Hamiltonian (VEH) method. Theoretical calculations predict that the electronic properties of poly(pyrrylene vinylene) remain almost unaffected upon methyl substitution, while a noticeable lowering of ∼0.4 eV is obtained for the ionization potential and energy gap upon methoxy substitution. The VEH trends are in quantitative agreement with experimental data reported for poly(thienylene vinylene) derivatives.

Theoretical characterization of the electronic properties of unsymmetrical phthalocyanine analogues

1993

Abstract The electronic structure of unsymmetrical phthalocyanine-based compounds is investigated using the nonempirical valence effective Hamiltonian (VEH) method. The VEH results predict a slight but continuous destabilization of the HOMO level and a monotonous narrowing of the HOMO-LUMO energy gap as the size of the system increases. The theoretical trends are found to agree with optical absorption experimental data and show that the optical properties of phthalocyanine can be monitored by adjusting the size of the π-conjugated macrocycle.

Synthesis of Circumpyrene by Alkyne Benzannulation of Brominated Dibenzo[hi,st]ovalene

2019

A transition-metal catalyzed alkyne benzannulation allowed an unprecedented synthesis of circumpyrene, starting from 3,11-dibromo-6,14-dimesityldibenzo[hi,st]ovalene (DBOV). The circumpyrene was characterized by a combination of NMR, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, revealing its multizigzag-edged structure. Two newly introduced C═C bonds in circumpyrene strongly perturbed the electronic structures of DBOV, as evidenced by increased optical and electrochemical energy gaps. This is in good agreement with an increased number of Clar's sextets as well as a decreased number of π-electrons in the conjugation pathway of circumpyrene, according to anisotropy of the…

Synthesis and characterization of the acetazolamide complexes of Co(II) and Zn(II)

1987

Abstract The preparation and characterization of the complexes of Acetazolamide (Acm) with Co(II) and Zn(II) are described. The complexes are of the type M(Acm) 2 (NH 3 ) 2 . Monodentate or bidentate behaviour of Acm from the electronic properties and the IR spectral data is discussed. The probable structures of the complexes are proposed.

A wide family of pyridoxal thiosemicarbazone ferric complexes: Syntheses, structures and magnetic properties

2009

Abstract This study reports the syntheses and the characterization of 12 ferric complexes of pyridoxal thiosemicarbazone. The richness of the coordination chemistry of this ligand is highlighted by the modulation of its charge from neutral H 2 L to anionic L 2− , thus leading to a wide family of ferric compounds with charge varying from +3 to −1. The structures of complexes [Fe(HL) 2 ]ClO 4  · 2H 2 O and [Fe(HL)L] · 4.5H 2 O were solved and discussed with a particular attention brought to the intermolecular interactions occurring between the complexes. The investigation of magnetic properties of these compounds revealed that two of them are in the HS state at any temperature, whereas the ot…

Pentadecamer 2,5-Dipropoxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene

2002

The conjugated, all-(E)-configured pentadecamer 2,5-dipropoxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene 1j was prepared by a multistep synthesis on the basis of hydroquinone. The procedure consists of a general method for the repetitive extension of oligo(phenylenvinylene) chains by two styryl units (7a ⇄ 10 ⇄ 12 ⇄ 14). The relatively rigid oligomer 1j represents a molecular wire of about 100 A. The absorption of 1j provides a proof for the convergence theory for electronic properties of conjugated oligomers with increasing number of repeat units. The corresponding conjugated polymer 1p with the same substitution matches the values which were extrapolated from the oligomer series 1a−1j. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag Gmb…
