Synthesis by solution combustion of inorganic blue pigments MFe2(P2O7)2: Influence of the cation M (Zn2+, Co2+, Cu2+, and Mg2+) on their optical prop…

2020

Abstract The aim of this work is to find the effect of the cation M (Zn2+, Co2+, Cu2+, and Mg2+) on the optical properties of MFe2(P2O7)2 synthesized by solution combustion. The crystal structure of the powders was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Infrared spectroscopy (IR), and Raman spectroscopy. The presence of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in the pigments was studied using Mossbauer spectroscopy (MS), these spectra showed at 298 K three well-defined Mossbauer doublets belonging to octahedral S1 site and S3 site of Fe3+ and trigonal prismatic S2 site of Fe2+, confirming the formation of ZnFe2(P2O7)2, CoFe2(P2O7)2 and MgFe2(P2O7)2 structures, while in CuFe2(P2O7)2 there is no presence of trigo…

Distinct hematite populations from simultaneous fitting of Mössbauer spectra from Meridiani Planum, Mars

2010

[1] At Meridiani Planum, Mars, hematite occurs as a lag of ∼5 mm diameter spherules and their fragments and within the matrix of the sulfate-rich outcrop as <30 μm particles. Well crystalline and chemically pure bulk hematite undergoes a magnetic transition at ∼264 K (Morin transition) that can be detected by Mossbauer spectroscopy and is within the Martian diurnal temperature range. We analyzed outcrop and lag hematite Mossbauer spectra obtained by the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity as a function of temperature using a simultaneous fitting procedure to determine the Morin temperature and the temperature interval over which it occurs. Mossbauer spectra for terrestrial hematite-bea…

Jarosite and hematite at Meridiani Planum from Opportunity's Mossbauer Spectrometer.

2004

Mössbauer spectra measured by the Opportunity rover revealed four mineralogical components in Meridiani Planum at Eagle crater: jarosite- and hematite-rich outcrop, hematite-rich soil, olivine-bearing basaltic soil, and a pyroxene-bearing basaltic rock (Bounce rock). Spherules, interpreted to be concretions, are hematite-rich and dispersed throughout the outcrop. Hematitic soils both within and outside Eagle crater are dominated by spherules and their fragments. Olivine-bearing basaltic soil is present throughout the region. Bounce rock is probably an impact erratic. Because jarosite is a hydroxide sulfate mineral, its presence at Meridiani Planum is mineralogical evidence for aqueous proc…

Identification of Morphological Biosignatures in Martian Analogue Field Specimens Using In Situ Planetary Instrumentation

2008

International audience; We have investigated how morphological biosignatures (i.e., features related to life) might be identified with an array of viable instruments within the framework of robotic planetary surface operations at Mars. This is the first time such an integrated lab-based study has been conducted that incorporates space-qualified instrumentation designed for combined in situ imaging, analysis, and geotechnics ( sampling). Specimens were selected on the basis of feature morphology, scale, and analogy to Mars rocks. Two types of morphological criteria were considered: potential signatures of extinct life ( fossilized microbial filaments) and of extant life (crypto-chasmoendolit…

57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy predicts superstructure for K0.08[Cu(II)(N,N'app)Cl]2[Fe(III)(CN)6].0.92H3O.3H2O.

2007

The compound [Cu(N,N'app)Cl](2)[Fe(CN)(6)].xH(2)O, with N,N'app being bis(N,N'-3-aminopropylpiperazine), was prepared and its structure determined by single crystal X-ray analysis, confirming a ratio of two copper complexes to one iron complex; (57)Fe Mössbauer spectra showed three quadrupole doublets typical of iron(iii) low spin species which call for the presence of a superstructure.

Synthesis, characterization, crystal structures and in vitro antistaphylococcal activity of organotin(IV) derivatives with 5,7-disubstituted-1,2,4-tr…

2011

Abstract New organotin(IV) complexes of 5,7-ditertbutyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( dbtp ) and 5,7-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine ( dptp ) with 1:1 and/or 1:2 stoichiometry were synthesized and investigated by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR and 119 Sn Mossbauer in the solid state and by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, in solution. Moreover, the crystal and molecular structures of Et 2 SnCl 2 (dbtp) 2 and Ph 2 SnCl 2 (EtOH) 2 (dptp) 2 are reported. The complexes contain hexacoordinated tin atoms: in Et 2 SnCl 2 (dbtp) 2 two 5,7-ditertbutyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine molecules coordinate classically the tin atom through N(3) atom and the coordination around the tin atom shows a …

Characterization of diorganotin(IV) complexes with captopril. The first crystallographically authenticated metal complex of this anti-hypertensive ag…

2003

Abstract Diorganotin(IV) complexes R 2 Sn(cap) (capH 2 = N -[( S )-3-mercapto-2-methylpropionyl]- l -proline; R=Me, Et, n -Bu and t -Bu) were prepared and characterised. The FTIR and Raman spectra demonstrated that the organotin(IV) moieties interact with the {S} atom of the ligand, while the other coordination sites are the carboxylate and the amide –CO groups. Mossbauer Δ data showed that the diorganotin(IV) compounds adopt slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal (tbp) geometry. A single-crystal X-ray study was performed on the compound Me 2 Sn(cap): the Sn atom is five-coordinated in a distorted tbp environment, with two {O} atoms in the axial positions and the {S} and two {C} atoms in t…

Spin crossover of ferric complexes with catecholate derivatives. Single-crystal X-ray structure, magnetic and Mössbauer investigations.

2005

Complexes of general formula [(TPA)Fe(R-Cat)]X·nS were synthesised with different catecholate derivatives and anions (TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, R-Cat2− = 4,5-(NO2)2-Cat2− denoted DNC2−; 3,4,5,6-Cl4-Cat2− denoted TCC2−; 3-OMe-Cat2−; 4-Me-Cat2− and X = BPh4−; NO3−; PF6−; ClO4−; S = solvent molecule). Their magnetic behaviours in the solid state show a general feature along the series, viz., the occurrence of a thermally-induced spin crossover process. The transition curves are continuous with transition temperatures ranging from ca. 84 to 257 K. The crystal structures of [(TPA)Fe(DNC)]X (X = PF6−; BPh4−) and [(TPA)Fe(TCC)]X·nS (X = PF6−; NO3− and n = 1, S = H2O; ClO4− and n = 1, S = H…

Molecular dynamics simulation of carboxy-myoglobin embedded in a trehalose-water matrix

2001

AbstractWe report on a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of carboxy-myoglobin (MbCO) embedded in a water-trehalose system. The mean square fluctuations of protein atoms, calculated at different temperatures in the 100–300K range, are compared with those from a previous MD simulation on an H2O-solvated MbCO and with experimental data from Mössbauer spectroscopy and incoherent elastic neutron scattering on trehalose-coated MbCO. The results show that, for almost all the atomic classes, the amplitude of the nonharmonic motions stemming from the interconversion among the protein’s conformational substates is reduced with respect to the H2O-solvated system, and their onset is shifted toward hig…
