[Fe(sal2-trien)][Ni(dmit)2]: towards switchable spin crossover molecular conductors
2004
A cooperative spin transition behaviour with a wide hysteresis loop (30 K) around 240 K has been observed, for the first time, in a salt based on the redox active [Ni(dmit)2]¯, anion and the [Fe(sal2-trien)]+ spin crossover cation. Real Cabezos, Jose Antonio, Jose.A.Real@uv.es
Redox estimates through trace elements partitioning: application on two Italian volcanoes, model comparison and overview on different geodynamic envi…
2021
Oxygen fugacity of Earth’s mantle is one of the most debated issues of petrology. While is evident that the arc-related magmas are more oxidized than MORB and intraplate magmas, however, is not yet possible to produce a model that can uniquely determine this thermodynamic parameter for the depth of the Earth. Furthermore, there is not a clear cause that create this difference of redox conditions between volcanic products. Recently, several experimental models based on the V partitioning between olivine and mafic melt were published and proposed as tools for investigating the redox state of mantle melts for different geodynamic environments. During this PhD we have applied different oxybarom…
Correlation between oxidation states of transition metal ions and variation of the coercivity in mixed-valence defect spinel ferrites
1997
Abstract Due to the very high dispersion of mixed-valence spinel ferrites prepared by ‘soft chemistry’ it becomes possible to oxidize in the spinel lattice, not only ferrous ions but also different transition metal ions (Cr 3+ , Mn 2+ , Mn 3+ , Mo 3+ , Mo 4+ V 2+ , V 3+ , Cu + ), by ‘soft’ oxidation between 150 and 500°C, under formation of non-stoichiometric spinels cation vacancies. The oxidation state with the coordination and the oxidation temperature of the cations have been determined in coppermanganese ferrites by derivative thermogravimetry (DTG), based on the specific solid-state reactivity of cations in the redox reaction. For Co-modified non-stoichiometric spinels, which present…
Syntheses, structures and physical characterization of two new three-dimensional mixed-valence hexadecavanadate derivatives
2007
Abstract Two new hexadecavanadate derivatives, (bpy)[Zn(4,4′-bpy)2]2[H4ClV16O38]·6H2O 1 and (bpy)[Co(4,4′-bpy)2]2[H4ClV16O38]·6H2O 2 (bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine), were synthesized under the hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by IR, XPS and EPR spectroscopy, redox titration and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The two compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the tetragonal non-centrosymmetric space group P-4n2 (No. 118) with a = 17.124(2), b = 17.124(2), c = 14.724(3) A, V = 4317.5(12) A3 and Z = 1 for the compound 1, and a = 17.038(2), b = 17.038(2), c = 14.754(3) A, V = 4282.9(12) A3 and Z = 1 for the compound 2. Compounds 1 and 2 were constructed from 4-connected {H4…
Biferrocene Amino Acid, a Ferrocenylogoue of Ferrocene Amino Acid: Synthesis, Cross-Linking, and Redox Chemistry
2010
Access of the novel biferrocene amino acid 7 is provided by two different routes, namely, via desymmetrization of a biferrocene and via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of two substituted ferrocenes. The dissymmetric biferrocene 7 is head−head coupled to ureylene-bridged bis(biferrocene) 9 and also head−tail coupled to amide-bridged bis(biferrocene) 14. The monomer 7 and the dimers 9 and 14 are oxidized to mixed-valent cations 7+, 9+, 92+, and 142+. The valencies are trapped in the solid state as shown by Mossbauer and EPR spectroscopy and by X-ray diffraction analysis of [7](I3). Paramagnetic NMR shift studies (7 → 7+) suggest that the hole is localized at the N-substituted ferrocene uni…
Fibrous Nanozyme Dressings with Catalase-Like Activity for H2O2 Reduction To Promote Wound Healing
2017
The concentrations of the redox pair hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxygen (O2) can promote or decelerate the progression and duration of the wound healing process. Although H2O2 can reach critically high concentrations and prohibit healing, a sufficient O2 inflow to the wound is commonly desired. Herein, we describe the fabrication and use of a membrane that can contemptuously decrease H2O2 and increase O2 levels. Therefore, hematite nanozyme particles were integrated into electrospun and cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol) membranes. Within the dual-compound membrane, the polymeric mesh provides a porous scaffold with high water permeability and the nanozymes act as a catalyst with catalase-li…
Efecto de la vitrificación sobre los ovocitos humanos
2017
La vitrificación es una técnica indispensable a día de hoy en la rutina de los Laboratorios de Fecundación In Vitro. Los resultados clínicos obtenidos tras la vitrificación de ovocitos sugieren que éstos son capaces de recuperarse casi por completo a los cambios biofísicos inducidos durante este proceso. Tras la desvitrificación, un elevado porcentaje de ovocitos sobreviven. Sin embargo, a pesar de la alta capacidad de supervivencia, existen efectos sutiles que pueden estar afectando de forma mínima pero significativa a la tasa de blastulación así como a la tasa de embarazos clínicos. Relativamente pocos estudios se centran en conocer qué cambios se producen a nivel subcelular en el interio…
First determination of magma-derived gas emissions from Bromo volcano, eastern Java (Indonesia)
2015
The composition and fluxes of volcanic gases released by persistent open-vent degassing at Bromo Volcano, east Java (Indonesia), were characterised in September 2014 from both in-situ Multi-GAS analysis and remote spectroscopic (dual UV camera) measurements of volcanic plume emissions. Our results demonstrate that Bromo volcanic gas is water-rich (H2O/SO2 ratios of 56-160) and has CO2/SO2 (4.1 +/- 0.7) and CO2/S-tot (3.2 +/- 0.7) ratios within the compositional range of other high-temperature magma-derived gases in Indonesia. H-2/H2O and H2S/SO2 ratios constrain a magmatic gas source with minimal temperature of 700 degrees C and oxygen fugacity of 10(-17)-10(-18) bars. UV camera sensing on …
Soret coefficient of trace ions determined with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a thin cell. Theory and measurement
2018
The tendency of a substance to migrate due to a temperature gradient is known as thermodiffusion or the Soret effect. We believe that this is the first work that describes the study of the Soret effect using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in a non-isothermal thin cell, and shows how the Soret coefficient can be determined from these measurements. The effect of a temperature gradient in a thin cell is analyzed, both theoretically and experimentally. Our theoretical modeling of the system predicts the effect of key parameters to the impedance spectra. Experimentally we determine the Soret coefficient of the redox couple Fe(CN)64−/Fe(CN)63− in an aqueous KCl solution. It is found that …
Redox and Catalytic Properties of Promoted NiO Catalysts for the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane
2017
[EN] NiO and metal-promoted NiO catalysts (M-NiO, with a M/(M+Ni) atomic ratio of 0.08, with M = Nb, Sn, or La) have been prepared, tested in the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethane, and characterized by means of XRD, TPR, HRTEM, Raman, XPS, and in situ XAS (using H-2/He, air or C2H6/He mixtures). The selectivity to ethylene during the ODH of ethane decreases according to the following trend: Nb NiO Sn NiO > La NiO > NiO, whereas the catalyst reducibility (determined by both TPR and XAS using H-2/He mixtures) shows the opposite trend. However, different reducibility and catalytic behavior in the absence of oxygen (ethane/He mixtures) have been observed, especially when comparing Nb- a…
