One-Pot, Clean Synthesis of Vanillic Acid from Ferulic Acid

2016

Ferulic acid dissolved in water is selectively oxidized to vanillic acid in high yield (≈60 %) under remarkably mild and green conditions, namely at room temperature with air as primary oxidant, over a catalytic amount of nanostructured Bi2WO6. The process is general and opens the route to the selective oxidation of natural substances into derivatives of significant applicative relevance.

High-pressure and high-temperature X-ray diffraction studies of scheelite BaWO4

2009

International audience; We carried out high-pressure (HP) and high-temperature (HT) in situ ADXRD synchrotron measurements in barium tungstate (BaWO4 ) up to 7.5 GPa and 800 K. Coexistence of the scheelite and fergusonite structures was found beyond 7 GPa, both at room temperature and HT, suggesting a polymorphism zone in the P –T phase diagram. The experiments are complemented by thermodynamic calculations within the quasi-harmonic approximation. At ambient pressure, a volume thermal expansivity of 9.5 × 10− 6 K−1 was obtained for scheelite BaWO4 . At HP, the thermal expansivity of the fergusonite doubles that of scheelite. Theoretical equation of state curves at HP and HT are also present…

A New Heptanuclear Cobalt(II) Cluster Encapsulated in a Novel Heteropolyoxometalate Topology:  Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetic Properties of [Co7(…

2004

The synthesis and the structural and magnetic characterization of a novel heptanuclear cobalt cluster encapsulated in a heteropolyoxotungstate is reported. This complex shows how it is possible to control the nuclearity of the Co clusters formed in a tungstate solution by slightly changing the synthetic conditions, and the relevance of pH in this regard. This heptanuclear complex [Co7(H2O)2(OH)2P2W25O94]16- (Co7) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (a = 12.3403(6) A, b = 22.5966(11) A, c = 23.2645(12) A, α = 68.7830(11)°, β = 83.7981(12)°, γ = 78.5423(13)°, V = 5922.4(5) A3, Z = 2) and is formed by six CoO6 octahedra from two Co3 trimers sustained by Keggin trivacant fragments held…

Luminescence center excited state absorption in tungstates

2001

The excited state absorption of intrinsic luminescence center (self-trapped exciton) in tungstates (CaWO4, ZnWO4, PbWO4 and CdWO4) was studied. The transient absorption and luminescence spectra, decay kinetics and lifetime dependencies on temperature have been measured. The model of self-trapped exciton and nature of observed absorption bands were discussed.

High-pressure structural and lattice dynamical study ofHgWO4

2010

We have synthesized monoclinic mercury tungstate $({\text{HgWO}}_{4})$ and characterized its structural and vibrational properties at room conditions. Additionally, we report the structural and lattice dynamical behavior of ${\text{HgWO}}_{4}$ under high pressure studied by means of x-ray diffraction and Raman-scattering measurements up to 16 GPa and 25 GPa, respectively. The pressure dependence of the structural parameters and Raman-active first-order phonons of monoclinic $C2/c$ ${\text{HgWO}}_{4}$ are discussed in the light of our theoretical first-principles total-energy and lattice dynamics calculations. Our measurements show that the monoclinic phase of ${\text{HgWO}}_{4}$ is stable u…

High-pressure structural phase transition inMnWO4

2015

The pressure-induced phase transition of the multiferroic manganese tungstate MnWO4 is studied on single crystals using synchrotron x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. We observe the monoclinic P2/c to triclinic P (1) over bar phase transition at 20.1 GPa and get insight on the phase transition mechanism from the appearance of tilted triclinic domains. Selective Raman spectroscopy experiments with single crystals have shown that the onset of the phase transition occurs 5 GPa below the previously reported pressure obtained from experiments performed with powder samples.

High-pressure theoretical and experimental study of HgWO4

2011

HgWO 4 at ambient pressure is characterized using a combination of ab initio calculations, X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements. The effect of low pressure and temperature on the structural stability is analysed. Extending our ab initio study to the range of higher pressures, a sequence of stable phases up to 30GPa is proposed. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.
