Long-Distance Magnetic Interaction of Exchange-Coupled Copper Dimers with Nitronyl Nitroxide and tert-Butyl Nitroxide Radicals
2009
To study long-distance magnetic interactions between exchange-coupled metal centers and coordinated radical moieties, two new homodimetallic Cu(II) complexes held together by the chelating ligand L(nPr) = N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(N-propyl-2-benzimidazolyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane and additionally bridged by either a nitronyl nitroxide (NIT) or a tert-butyl nitroxide (NOA) radical-substituted benzoate have been prepared. The complexes have been investigated by X-ray crystallography, magnetic susceptibility measurements, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For comparison additionally the related copper dimer with the bridging di…
The reduction of tris-dithiolene complexes of molybdenum(vi) and tungsten(vi) by hydroxide ion: kinetics and mechanism
2004
The kinetic study of the spontaneous reduction of some neutral tris-dithiolene complexes [ML3] of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI), (L = S2C6H42−, S2C6H3CH32− and S2C2(CH3)22−; M = Mo or W) by tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in tetrahydrofuran-water solutions demonstrates that OH− is an effective reductant. Their reduction is fast, clean and quantitative. Depending upon both the molar ratio in which the reagents are mixed and the amount of water present, one- or two-electron reductions of these tris-dithiolene complexes were observed. If Bu4NOH is present in low concentration or/and at high concentrations of water, the total transformation of the neutral M(VI) complex into the monoanionic M(V) …

On-line determination of bipyridylium herbicides in water by HPLC
1997
Selective on-line solid phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography determination (HPLC) of diquat, paraquat and difenzoquat from environmental water samples has been accomplished with Graphitized Carbon Black (GCB) as both extraction and analytical columns. The method involved passing of 50 mL of water through a cartridge filled with Carbograph. In the elution step, the herbicides were transferred from the cartridge to the analytical column (Hypercarb) by mean of a gradient of pH 3 aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH) and ammonium sulphate and methanol. Hypercarb columns were found to give a low probability of false positives for bypiridylium herbicides and are ve…
Characterization of acrylic resins used for restoration of artworks by pyrolysis-silylation-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with hexamethyldisil…
2006
A procedure based on the technique of the pyrolysis-GC/MS has been applied, in this work, in order to determine the composition of synthetic acrylic resins employed in artworks. The method is based on the on line derivatization of these resins using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). Results obtained have been compared with those others from direct pyrolysis and in situ thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation with tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH). Sensitivity using HMDS as derivatising reagent is found similar to that from direct pyrolysis and methylation with TMAH. Better resolution of the most representative peaks has been also obtained. Additionally, this method reduces the formation…
Analytical characterization of diterpenoid resins present in pictorial varnishes using pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry with on line tr…
2005
Abstract A procedure based on the technique of the pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py–GC–MS) has been applied, in this work, in order to determine the composition of diterpenoid resin employed in art works. The method is based on the on line derivatization of these resins using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). Results obtained were compared with those previously reported in literature from Venice turpentine, Strasbourg turpentine, colophony, sandarac and Manila copal using this same method and with those others from in situ thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation with tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH). Canada balsam, copper resinate and Copaiba balsam have been also ana…
Essential oil compositions of Teucrium fruticans, T. scordium subsp. scordioides and T. siculum growing in Sicily and Malta
2020
In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oils from the aerial parts of Teucrium fruticans L. collected in Sicily and Malta, Teucrium scordium subsp. scordioides (Schreb.) Arcang. and Teucrium siculum (Raf.) Guss., collected in Sicily, were evaluated by GC-MS. The main volatile components of both T. fruticans collections were germacrene D (29.4% and 50.0%), (E)-β-caryophyllene (19.6% and 21.9%), and 1-octen-3-ol (19.7% and 7.4%); T. scordium subsp. scordioides essential oil was rich in caryophyllene oxide (25.8%), α-pinene (19.4%) and β-pinene (8.5%); T. siculum essential oil was rich in (E)-β-caryophyllene (30.9%), 1-octen-3-ol (9.0%), α-humulene (8.6%) and germacrene…

Impact of transparent conductive oxide on the admittance of thin film solar cells
2010
Abstract The impact of transparent electrically conducting oxide (TCO) on the admittance measurements of thin film p–i–n a-Si:H solar cells was investigated. Admittance measurements on solar cell devices, with different area and geometry, in a wide range of frequencies and biases were performed. The admittance measurements of the investigated solar cells, which use the TCO as an electrical contact, showed that the high frequency admittance per area unit depends on the area. This effect increases both with the probe frequency and the size of the solar cells. Transmission line model valid for strip geometry which explains how the resistivity of the TCO layer impacts the measured admittance of…
Optimizing the Binding Energy of the Surfactant to Iron Oxide Yields Truly Monodisperse Nanoparticles.
2018
Despite the great progress in the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) using a thermal decomposition method, the production of NPs with low polydispersity index is still challenging. In a thermal decomposition synthesis, oleic acid (OAC) and oleylamine (OAM) are used as surfactants. The surfactants bind to the growth species, thereby controlling the reaction kinetics and hence playing a critical role in the final size and size distribution of the NPs. Finding an optimum molar ratio between the surfactants oleic OAC/OAM is therefore crucial. A systematic experimental and theoretical study, however, on the role of the surfactant ratio is still missing. Here, we present a detailed exper…
