An Experimental and Computational Study on the Effect of Al(OiPr)3 on Atom-Transfer Radical Polymerization and on the Catalyst-Dormant Chain Halogen …

2005

International audience; Compound Al(OiPr)3 is shown to catalyze the halide-exchange process leading from [Mo(Cp)Cl2(iPrN=CH-CH=NiPr)] and CH3CH(X)COOEt (X=Br, I) to the mixed-halide complexes [Mo(Cp)ClX(iPrN=CH-CH=NiPr)]. On the other hand, no significant acceleration is observed for the related exchange between [MoX3(PMe3)3] (X=Cl, I) and PhCH(Br)CH3, by analogy to a previous report dealing with the RuII complex [RuCl2(PPh3)3]. A DFT computation study, carried out on the model complexes [Mo(Cp)Cl2(PH3)2], [MoCl3(PH3)3], and [RuCl2(PH3)3], and on the model initiators CH3CH(Cl)COOCH3, CH3Cl, and CH3Br, reveals that the 16-electron RuII complex is able to coordinate the organic halide RX in a…

A new method for radiochemical separation of arsenic from irradiated germanium oxide.

2005

Abstract Radioarsenic labelled radiopharmaceuticals could be a valuable asset to Positron Emission Tomography (PET). In particular, the long half-lives of 72 As ( T 1/2 =26 h) and 74 As ( T 1/2 =17.8 d) allow to investigate slow physiological or metabolical processes, like the enrichment and distribution of antibodies in tumor tissue. This work describes the direct production of no-carrier-added (nca) arsenic isotopes *As, with *=71, 72, 73, 74 or 77, the reaction to [*As]AsI 3 and its radiochemical separation from the irradiated solid germanium oxide via polystyrene-based solid-phase extraction. The germanium oxide target, irradiated at a cyclotron or a nuclear reactor, is dissolved in con…

Crystal growth and refined Sellmeier equations over the complete transparency range of RbTiOPO4

2003

Abstract The phase-matching directions sum- and difference-frequency generations are measured in the principal planes of RbTiOPO 4 crystals grown from a halide flux. The use of crystals with a cylindrical shape and of a tunable laser source allows us to perform accurate measurements over the complete transparency range of that material, and to determine a refined set of Sellmeier equations valid for any phase-matched interaction in that crystal.

The preparation of unprecedented 6,12-disubstituted methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocins from pyrrolidine catalyzed self-condensation of 2′-hydroxyacetophenones is herein described. This method provides easy access to this highly bridged complex core, resulting in construction of two C–O and two C–C bonds, a methylene bridge and two quaternary centers in a single step. The intricate methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocin compounds were obtained in up to moderate yields after optimization of the reaction conditions concerning solvent, reaction times and the use of additives. Several halide substituted methanodibenzo[b,f][1,5]dioxocins could be prepared from correspondent 2′-hydroxyacetophenones.

Efficient vacuum deposited p-i-n and n-i-p perovskite solar cells employing doped charge transport layers

2016

Methylammonium lead halide perovskites have emerged as high performance photovoltaic materials. Most of these solar cells are prepared via solution-processing and record efficiencies (>20%) have been obtained employing perovskites with mixed halides and organic cations on (mesoscopic) metal oxides. Here, we demonstrate fully vacuum deposited planar perovskite solar cells by depositing methylammonium lead iodide in between intrinsic and doped organic charge transport molecules. Two configurations, one inverted with respect to the other, p-i-n and n-i-p, are prepared and optimized leading to planar solar cells without hysteresis and very high efficiencies, 16.5% and 20%, respectively. It is t…

Heterogeneous Sonogashira Coupling over Nanostructured SiliaCat Pd(0)

2012

Sol–gel entrapped catalyst SiliaCat Pd(0) heterogeneously mediates the Sonogoashira coupling of different aryl halides and phenylacetylene either under thermal conditions or, much more efficiently, under microwave irradiation, affording good conversions of coupled products. Leaching of valued Pd is limited, and the catalyst can be reused.

A simple analysis of the HA centre destruction temperatures for doped alkali halides

1998

Abstract A simple relation for the destruction temperatures Td of the HA centres (H centres trapped by an impurity cation) as a function of the difference in the radii for a host cation and impurity in alkali halide crystals is presented and theoretically justified. This relation allows to predict Td for H centres trapped by other monovalent cation impurities.

Influence of mobile ions on the electroluminescence characteristics of methylammonium lead iodide perovskite diodes

2016

In this work, we study the effect of voltage bias on the optoelectronic behavior of methylammonium lead iodide planar diodes. Upon biasing the diodes with a positive voltage, the turn-on voltage of the electroluminescence diminishes and its intensity substantially increases. This behavior is reminiscent of that observed in light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs), single-layer electroluminescent devices in which the charge injection is assisted by the accumulation of ions at the electrode interface. Because of this mechanism, performances are largely independent from the work function of the electrodes. The similarities observed between planar perovskite diodes and LECs suggest that mobi…

Secondary minerals from halite caves in the Atacama Desert (Chile)

2017

In the past 15 years several expeditions by French, American and especially Italian cavers have surveyed over 15 km of salt cave passages in the Cordillera de la Sal, close to San Pedro de Atacama village (Atacama Desert, Northern Chile). Over 50 caves have been explored up to now at an elevation around 2,500 m asl. These karst systems are characterized by in-cave temperature of around 17 °C and a relative humidity always very low, with a maximum of 15%. This extreme aridity is due to the severe conditions of the area with only a couple millimeters annual rainfall and several years without rain. Currently the rare precipitation events are enough to allow the dissolution of the salt rock and…

The metathesis reaction of cyclooctene was investigated with respect to the solvent, the catalyst, and the ratio of its components. A necessary condition for an active metathesis catalyst appears to be the presence of two transition metal-carbon bonds in a complex of the transition metal compound with an aluminum halide. A structure for the active complex is proposed. Die Metathese-Reaktion von Cycloocten wurde unter dem Einflus verschiedener Losungsmittel, verschiedener Katalysatorsysteme und Verhaltnisse der Katalysatorkomponenten untersucht. Die Ergebnisse lassen darauf schliesen, das die aktiven Katalysatoren Komplexe besonderer Ubergangsmetallverbindungen mit Aluminiumhalogeniden darst…
