Diagrammatic Expansion for Positive Spectral Functions in the Steady-State Limit
2019
Recently, a method was presented for constructing self-energies within many-body perturbation theory that are guaranteed to produce a positive spectral function for equilibrium systems, by representing the self-energy as a product of half-diagrams on the forward and backward branches of the Keldysh contour. We derive an alternative half-diagram representation that is based on products of retarded diagrams. Our approach extends the method to systems out of equilibrium. When a steady-state limit exists, we show that our approach yields a positive definite spectral function in the frequency domain.
Metrological Properties of the Test Setup for Determination Shielding Effectiveness of the Industrial Cable Connectors
2017
Abstract The paper presents results related to assessment of the repeatability and reproducibility of the measurement test setup for determination the relative value of the shielding effectiveness coefficient of the industrial connectors. The construction of the proposed test setup, the measurement method and the procedure for the analysis of measurement results were described. To determine the value of the repeatability and reproducibility coefficient, the two–way analysis of variance was used, which additionally allows for an assessment of the influence of individual sources of variance. The measurements and their analysis were conducted for several frequencies in the range up to 1 GHz. A…
Palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl dibromides with secondary amines: synthetic and mechanistic aspects
1999
Abstract Diaminobenzenes are obtained starting from m- and p-dibromobenzenes and secondary amines in the presence of Pd(dba)2/P(o-tolyl)3and sodium tert-butoxide in moderate to good yields. Reductive dehalogenation of aryl dibromides is a major side reaction under these conditions. The study of this reaction has shown that the formation of reductive dehalogenation products occurs according to two independent ways. The first one proceeds via the well-known β-hydride elimination from amido-coordinated palladium complexes. The second one involves the formation of hydrido palladium complexes from amino-coordinated derivatives. Although our results do not allow us to propose a detailed mechanist…
Structure effects induced by high mechanical compaction of STAM-17-OEt MOF powders
2021
Financial support by PJ-RIC-FFABR_2017 and the EPSRC grant EPSRC industrial CASE award (grant EP/N50936X/1) are acknowledged. The research programme Nanoporous materials (P1-0021) financially supported by Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) is acknowledged as well. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for many potential applications, spacing from gas storage to catalysis. However, the powder form of which they are generally made is not suitable, mainly because of the low packing density. Powder compaction is therefore necessary, but also challenging because of their typical mechanical fragility. Indeed, generally, they undergo irreversibly damages upon densification processe…
A Strongly Luminescent Chromium(III) Complex Acid
2018
The synthesis, structure, reactivity, and photophysical properties of a novel acidic, luminescent chromium(III) complex [Cr(H2 tpda)2 ]3+ (23+ ) bearing the tridentate H2 tpda (2,6-bis(2-pyridylamino)pyridine) ligand are presented. Excitation of 23+ at 442 nm results in strong, long-lived NIR luminescence at 782 nm in water and in acetonitrile. X-ray diffraction analysis and IR spectroscopy reveal hydrogen-bonding interactions of the counter ions to the NH groups of 23+ in the solid state. Deprotonation of the NH groups of 23+ by using a non-nucleophilic Schwesinger base in CH3 CN switches off the luminescence. Re-protonation by using HClO4 restores the emission. In water, the pKa value of …
Conformational Switching of Multi-Responsive Ferrocenyl-Phenol Conjugates
2016
Multifunctional conformational switches based on the ferrocenyl-salicylic acid amide motif with increasing additional complexity at the Fc moiety (R = COOMe, CONHEt, CONHFc; H-2–H-4; Fc = ferrocenyl) have been prepared and their preferred secondary structures in solution have been elucidated by NMR and IR spectroscopy in combination with conformational searches based on DFT calculations. Their distinct conformational responses to deprotonation ([2]––[4]–) and oxidation ([H-2]+·–[H-4]+·) have been revealed by IR, EPR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy as well as by DFT calculations. Deprotonation inverts all amide units (double amide twist) whereas oxidation selectively flips the terminal amide unit (…

The crystal structure of the solvated species of 2–4, namely (n-NBu4)4[Pd2(dpvba)2]·6MeOH·2Et2O (2a), (n-NBu4)4[Pd2(dpazba)2]·8MeOH (3a), and (n-NBu4)2[Pd2(dpeba)2…
Acylchalcogenourea Complexes of Silver(I)
2016
Acylthio- or acylselenoureas react with silver(I) oxide to form tetranuclear silver(I) complexes containing the deprotonated acylchalcogenourea ligands bound to the silver atoms through the chalcogen and oxygen atoms. These tetrasilver(I) species react with either 4 or 8 equiv. of a phosphine to afford either dinuclear silver(I) phosphine complexes or tetrahedral silver diphosphine complexes. In these compounds, the acylchalcogenourea ligands form six-membered rings by coordinating to the metal atom through the chalcogen and oxygen atoms. In one case, we observed a very rare example of an acylthiourea ligand coordinated through the nitrogen and sulfur atoms to form a four-membered ring. A s…

Abstract A family of tetra-n-butylammonium salts of bis(oxamato)palladate(II) complexes of formula (n-Bu4N)2[Pd(Lm)2]·pH2O [m = 1–9; L1 = N-phenyloxamate (pma) and p = 2 (1), L2 = N-2-methylphenyloxamate (2-Mepma) and p = 4 (2), L3 = N-4-methylphenyloxamate (4-Mepma) and p = 2 (3), L4 = N-2,3-dimethylphenyloxamate (2,3-Me2pma) and p = 3 (4), L5 = N-2,4-dimethylphenyloxamate (Me2pma) and p = 4 (5), L6 = N-2,5-dimethylphenyloxamate (2,5-Me2pma) and p = 7 (6), L7 = N-3,4-dimethylphenyloxamate (3,4-Me2pma) and p = 6 (7), L8 = N-3,5-dimethylphenyloxamate (3,5-Me2pma) and p = 5 (8)] have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods.

The Cu(II) complex of a C-lipophilized 13aneN4 macrocycle with an additional protonable amino group as micellar anion receptor.
2009
Three 13aneN4 macrocyclic ligands have been prepared bearing a -CH(2)NHR side arm (R = H, n-C(5)H(11), n-C(10)H(21)) on a carbon atom. When Cu(2+) is complexed in the macrocyclic ring, the amino group of the side arm undergoes an acid-base protonation equilibrium but it is not able to coordinate apically the metal cation even when it is deprotonated. The Cu(2+) complex with the ligand bearing the longest appended aliphatic chain is fully confined inside Triton X-100 micelles, and its ability to bind and sequestrate a series of anions inside micelles has been studied at two different pH values, i.e. both with protonated and neutral side-arm amino group. The favourable role played by the prot…
