Ecotoxicity of halloysite nanotube–supported palladium nanoparticles in Raphanus sativus L
2015
Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are natural nanomaterials that are biocompatible and available in large amounts at low prices. They are emerging nanomaterials with appealing properties for applications like support for metal nanoparticles (NPs). The potential environmental impacts of NPs can be understood in terms of phytotoxicity. Current research has been focusing on HNT applications in cell or animal models, while their use in plants is limited so their ecotoxicological impact is poorly documented. To date there are no studies on the phytotoxic effects of functionalized halloysites (functionalized-HNTs). To develop a quantitative risk assessment model for predicting the potential impact of H…
Electronmicroscopical Contrast by Palladium Chloride
1986
Thin sections of glutaraldehyde-fixed, epoxy resin-embedded bone marrow from rats were treated with 2% palladium chloride in 2% concentrated HCl. This procedure was found to induce high electron density in chromatin from all cell types and in cytoplasmic granules of neutrophils and eosinophils. In the latter, the crystalline body showed more contrast than the matrix.
Separation of fission products by the ion guide fed isotope separator, IGISOL
1987
Abstract The performance of the ion guide method in the on-line mass separation of fission products has been investigated. Activity was produced by bombarding nat. U targets with a beam of 20 MeV protons. All the mass chains from A = 95 through A = 120 have been scanned using conventional methods of nuclear spectroscopy. No chemical selectivity in the separation was observed; isotopes of highly nonvolatile elements from yttrium to palladium were produced with efficiencies equal to those for the more volatile ones. The boundary of known neutron-rich nuclides was reached throughout the mass region from A = 106 to A = 118. During the course of this preliminary study the new isotope 116 Rh was …
Collinear laser spectroscopy of stable palladium isotopes at the IGISOL facility
2020
AbstractCollinear laser spectroscopy on stable palladium isotopes was performed at the IGISOL facility in Jyväskylä in preparation for an experiment on its neutron-rich isotopes. Five transitions from different initial atomic states were tested, with the goal of finding the most spectroscopically efficient. The observed intensities afforded a comparison with atomic-level population predictions based on charge-exchange calculations. For some transitions hyperfine parameters of 105Pd were measured, which were found to be in good agreement with literature values. A King plot analysis was performed using the measured isotope shifts and known charge radii from literature to determine the atomic …
Decay spectroscopy of neutron-rich nuclei with A $$ \simeq $$ 100
2012
We review structure data obtained by decay spectroscopy of neutron-rich nuclei of mass close to 100. Emphasis is put on the contribution of experiments at IGISOL in the nineties. They confirmed the earlier postulated shape coexistence in the fast shape-transition region between N = 58 (spherical ground states and low collectivity) and N = 60 (strong axial deformation). A detailed spectroscopic study of the A = 99 chain established the upper-Z limit of the N = 56 shell closure region with 99Nb, owing to striking similarities with 97Y. A consequence of the N = 56 closure is that the s 1/2 odd-neutron becomes the ground state of the most neutron-rich N = 57 isotones, starting with 99Mo, instea…
Heat and Helium Production during Exothermic Reactions between Gases through Palladium Geometrical Elements Loaded with Hydrogen
2000
In this research, the effect of the shape of hydrogen-loaded palladium elements on exothermic reactions between gases is shown. It was found that an element with parts of its surface next to each o...
Plunger Lifetime Measurements in 102Pd
2006
Recently, an intense experimental effort has been devoted to the search of empirical proofs of critical‐point symmetries in nuclear structure. These symmetries describe shape‐phase transitions and provide parameter‐free predictions (up to over‐all scale factors) for excitation spectra and B(E2) values. This contribution reports on recent plunger‐lifetime measurements ON 102Pd carried out at LNL, Legnaro, with the Cologne plunger apparatus coupled to the GASP spectrometer and using the 92Zr(13C,3n)102Pd reaction at 48 MeV. According to the results of our measurements, 102Pd is so far the best known paradigm of the E(5) critical‐point symmetry.
Independent and cumulative yields of very neutron-rich nuclei in 20 MeVp- and 18–41 MeVd-induced fission ofU238
1991
Independent and cumulative yields in nearly symmetric fission have been measured for the first time by bombarding $^{238}\mathrm{U}$ with 20-MeV protons and with 18-, 25-, and 41-MeV deuterons. Isobaric charge dispersion has been determined in the A=110, A=112, and A=114 mass chains and, from asymmetric fission, in the A=80 mass chain. The average isobaric charges in the p+U reaction were 44.01\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.20 (A=110), 45.15\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.15 (A=112), and 45.74\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.15 (A=114). The widths (standard deviations) of the charge dispersion curves were 0.82\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.08 (A=112) and 0.54\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.08 (A=114…
[{(C5Me5)2Nb}2PdTe4], a heterometallic palladium telluride cluster with a planar PdTe4 fragment
2007
Abstract The reaction of [ Cp 2 ∗ Nb ( Te 2 H ) ] (Cp∗ = η5-C5Me5) with [Pd(DBA)2] (DBA = dibenzylidenacetone) and dppm (bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane) gave the new tetratelluropalladate cluster [ ( Cp 2 ∗ Nb ) 2 PdTe 4 ] (1), which has been characterised by means of elemental analysis, FD-MS and X-ray crystallography. The structure of compound 1 contains a planar PdTe4 rectangle to which two niobocene groups are coordinated. DFT calculations on the hypothetical [PdTe4]2− anion and comparison of the results with those of the W and Ni homologues show that the planar arrangement of Te ligands in 1 is due to the intrinsic property of the central Pd atom.
Palladium-Catalysed Intermolecular Direct C–H Bond Arylation of Heteroarenes with Reagents Alternative to Aryl Halides: Current State of the Art
2022
Abstract: This unprecedented review with 322 references provides a critical up-to-date picture of the Pd-catalysed intermolecular direct C–H bond arylation of heteroarenes with arylating reagents alternative to aryl halides that include aryl sulfonates (aryl triflates, tosylates, mesylates, and imidazole-1-sulfonates), diaryliodonium salts, [(diacetoxy)iodo]arenes, arenediazonium salts, 1-aryltriazenes, arylhydrazines and N’-arylhydrazides, arenesulfonyl chlorides, sodium arenesulfinates, arenesulfinic acids, and arenesulfonohydrazides. Particular attention has been paid to summarise the preparation of the various arylating reagents and to highlight the practicality, versatility, and limit…
