Interplay between Chemical Composition and Cation Ordering in the Magnetism of Ni/Fe Layered Double Hydroxides
2013
We report the synthesis of a family of ferrimagnetic NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with a variable Ni(2+)/Fe(3+) in-plane composition of [Ni(1-x)Fe(x)(OH)2](CO3)(x/2)·yH2O (x = 0.20, 0.25, and 0.33) by following a modified homogeneous precipitation. These layered magnets display high crystallinity, homogeneous hexagonal morphologies, and micrometric size that enable their quantitative exfoliation into single layers by sonomechanical treatment of the solids in polar solvents. This was confirmed by dynamic light scattering, UV-vis spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron miscroscopy, and atomic force microscopy methodologies to study the resulting steady suspensions. Our ma…
Purely Spectroscopic Determination of the Spin Hamiltonian Parameters in High-Spin Six-Coordinated Cobalt(II) Complexes with Large Zero-Field Splitti…
2019
Accurate determination of the spin Hamiltonian parameters in transition-metal complexes with large zero-field splitting (ZFS) is an actual challenge in studying magnetic and spectroscopic properties of high-spin transition metal complexes. Recent critical papers have convincingly shown that previous determinations of these parameters, based only on the magnetic data, have low accuracy and reliability. A combination of X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and SQUID magnetometry seems to be a more convincing and accurate approach. However, even in this case, the accuracy of the determination of the spin Hamiltonian parameters is strongly limited. In this work, we propose …
Soluble oligo(phenylenevinylene)s with electron withdrawing substituents for the use in light emitting diodes
2000
Poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) and its derivatives are one of the most widely used classes of phosphors in light emitting diodes. Central problems are the imbalanced charge carrier injection and transport properties due to the high lying conduction band. A series of good soluble oligo(phenylenevinylene)s (OPV) with five benzene rings and a variety of electron withdrawing and accepting substituents have been prepared and may serve as model compounds for PPV with increased electron affinity. The central ring of the OPVs is substituted with two octyloxy groups to ensure good solubility and the lateral styrene units carry further chromophoric groups of different electronic character. The synth…
On the synthesis and characterization of layered antimony(III) phosphate and its interaction with moist ammonia and amines
1998
Samples of antimony(III) phosphate, a layered material, were prepared at room temperature, using the two allotropic forms of Sb2O3, layered valentinite and cubic senarmontite. The compounds were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric–differential thermal analysis. Solids exposed to ammonia, ethylenediamine, or hydrazine vapors also were studied. The interaction between SbPO4 and the bases always led to the formation of stoichiometric amounts of Sb2O3 and hydrogen phosphate(–2) salts of the bases. With ammonia, the SbPO4 raw materials gave rise to valentinite or senarmontite, depending on which Sb2O3 allotropic form was used to prepare antimony phosp…
Anwendung der Mößbauer-Spektroskopie auf die Untersuchung von Deckschichten in Naturumlaufkesseln
1978
57Fe-Mosbauer-spektroskopische Transmissions- und Reflexionsmessungen wurden zur Aufklarung der qualitativen und quantitativen Zusammensetzung von Deckschichten auf der Innenseite von Rohren aus Naturumlaufkesseln vorgenommen. Die Deckschichten waren bei 120 bis 174 atu, 320 bis 353 °C, einem pH-Wert zwischen 9,5 und 10,5 und einem Gehalt an P2O5 und SiO2 von < 10 bzw. < 4 mg/l auf den Rohrinnenflachen (Werkstoff 15 Mo 3: 0,12%C, 0,15% Si, 0,5% Mn, 0,04% P, 0,04% S, ⩽ 0,3% Cr, 0,25% Mo, Rest Fe; St. 45. 8.

The expanding role of LC-MS in analyzing metabolites and degradation products of food contaminants
2008
Abstract Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has contributed significantly in advancing research in the analysis of metabolites and degradation products of food contaminants. Of particular interest is the comprehensive application of LC-MS to discovery of degradation products and metabolites. This review, covering research published between 2003 and 2008, describes how LC-MS has been used in this field, with the majority of work dealing with target-metabolite analysis and only a small fraction using LC-MS comprehensively. In considering the significance of this topic and the potential interest in it, we briefly describe state-of-the art mass analyzers applied for it (QtrAP, QqTO…
Rotational spectrum and equilibrium structure of silanethione, H2SiS
2008
Unsubstituted silanethione, H(2)Si=S, has been characterized experimentally for the first time by means of rotational spectroscopy; the equilibrium structure of this fundamental molecule has been evaluated through a combination of experimental data from a total of ten isotopologues and results of high-level coupled-cluster calculations.
Mass spectra of chlorinated aromatics formed in pulp bleaching: I—chlorinated catechols
1983
The fragmentation of chlorinated guaiacols (2-methoxyphenols) on electron impact has been studied. The most common fragmentation processes are interpreted and in some cases the small differences between spectra of positional isomers are explained. In addition to the well-known alkyl-oxygen fission (loss of methyl radical), metastable ion studies and deuterium labelling have indicated several new fragmentation pathways. The most characteristic are the formation of [MCH3HCl]+ and [MCH3Cl]+· ions. In general, however, the spectra of positional isomers are shown to be very similar.
Rapid hydrolysis of benzodiazepines to benzophenones in a microwave oven
1989
Abstract A microwave oven is used to carry out the complete hydrolysis of diazepam to the corresponding benzophenone in only 10 min, at 650 W, with good recovery. The reaction yield is evaluated by first-derivative UV spectrophotometry.
Semiempirical calculations on the interaction between dimethyltin(IV) and DNA model system
1999
Abstract The interaction between a dinucleotide triphosphate duplex (DD), mimicking the DNA molecule, and the dimethyltin(IV) cation is studied by the semiempirical PM3 method. The results show that the interaction can occur involving the tin atom and the electron-donor centres of DD, requiring in some cases the presence of water molecules. In particular, the binding of the dimethyltin(IV) moiety with two adjacent phosphate oxygen atoms is allowed by the presence of water molecules coordinating to the tin atom. In this case the tin environment shows a geometry in agreement with 119 Sn Mossbauer and X-ray data.
