Tl-related radiation defects in CsI:Tl
2004
Abstract Angular dependencies of the EPR spectra detected via the magnetic circular dichroism of the optical absorption (MCDA-EPR) observed in the MCDA bands at 355, 411, 425, 442, 465, 536, and 815 nm of γ- or X-irradiated CsI:Tl crystals have been investigated. The MCDA-EPR spectrum at B || [1 0 0] consists of two quartets of intense lines. The spectrum could be satisfactorily explained taking into account hyperfine (hf) interactions of unpaired electron with S= 1 2 with three Tl nuclei I ( 205 Tl , 203 Tl )= 1 2 . Therefore we propose as a model a Tl-trimer centre. The hf interactions along a [1 0 0] direction with two equivalent Tl and one single Tl were observed. As a centre model we p…

Nitrogen interstitial defects in silicon. A quantum mechanical investigation of the structural, electronic and vibrational properties
2019
The vibrational features of eight interstitial nitrogen related defects in silicon have been investigated at the first principles quantum mechanical level by using a periodic supercell approach, a hybrid functionals, an all electron Gaussian type basis set and the Crystal code. The list includes defects that will be indicated as Ni (one N atom forming a bridge between two Si atoms), Ni-Ns (one interstitial and one substitutional N atom linked to the same Si atom), Ni-Ni (two Ni defects linked to the same couple of silicon atoms) and Ni-Sii-Ni (two Ni defects linked to the same interstitial silicon atom). Four 〈0 0 1〉 split interstitial (dumbbell) defects have also been considered, in which …
Long-distance magnetic coupling in dinuclear copper(II) complexes with oligo-para-phenylenediamine bridging ligands
2010
Abstract Two novel dinuclear copper(II) complexes of formulae [Cu2(tren)2(bpda)](ClO4)4 (2) and [Cu2(tren)2(tpda)](ClO4)4 (3) containing the tripodal tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) terminal ligand and the 4,4′-biphenylenediamine (bpda) and 4,4″-p-terphenylenediamine (tpda) bridging ligands have been synthesized and structurally, spectroscopically, and magnetically characterized. Their experimentally available electronic spectroscopic and magnetic properties have been reasonably reproduced by DFT and TDDFT calculations. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 2 shows the presence of dicopper(II) cations where the bpda bridging ligand adopts a bismonodentate coordination mode toward two …
Micelles formed from photochemically active amphiphiles: structural characterization by small-angle neutron scattering
1996
Abstract A novel class of photochemically active amphiphiles has been synthesized containing a ketone moiety as a biradical or radical pair precursor on the hydrophobic tail of sodium sulfate surfactants. Alteration of the molecular structure of each ketone-containing surfactant allows for the systematic and predictable manipulation of the micellar size and shape, both of which are important in determining the coupling between the unpaired electrons confined within the micelle and the intraradical dynamics. The structure of the resulting aggregates has been analyzed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The results show that the amphiphiles form ellipsoidal micelles with aggregation num…
Selective Derivatization of Resorcarenes. 3. C2-Symmetrical and Transcavity Bridged Bis-Benzoxazines Derived from C2v-Symmetrical Tetratosylates
1998
The regioselective condensation of resorcarene tetratosylates 3/4 with formaldehyde and various primary amines readily gives bis-benzoxazines 5/6 in 65−86% yield. The chiral, C2-symmetrical structure of these compounds has been proved by NMR-spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Bis-benzoxazines 5f and 5i assume in the crystalline state a boat conformation in which the two resorcinol rings bearing the oxazine fragments are nearly parallel. The tosylated resorcinol units are horizontally arranged in a propeller-like fashion, and two intramolecular hydrogen bonds are formed between the phenolic hydroxy groups and the oxygens of the neighboring sulfonyl fragments. Molecular mechanics…
Role of the electron transfer and magnetic exchange interactions in the magnetic properties of mixed-valence polyoxovanadate complexes.
2008
International audience; Modeling the properties of high-nuclearity, high-electron-population, mixed-valence (MV) magnetic systems remains one of the open challenges in molecular magnetism. In this work, we analyze the magnetic properties of a series of polyoxovananadate clusters of formula [V 18O 42] (12-) and [V 18O 42] (4-). The first compound is a fully localized spin cluster that contains 18 unpaired electrons located at the metal sites, while the second one is a MV cluster with 10 unpaired electrons largely delocalized over the 18 metal sites. A theoretical model that takes into account the interplay between electron transfer and magnetic exchange interactions is developed to explain t…
Origin of the Paramagnetic Properties of the Mixed‐Valence Polyoxometalate [GeV 14 O 40 ] 8– Reduced by Two Electrons: Wave Function Theory and Model…
2009
The aim of the work is to give an explanation of the magnetic properties of a mixed-valence [GeV14O40]8– polyoxometalate reduced by two electrons, which, in contrast to what happens in other two-electron-reduced polyoxometalates, does not show any magnetic coupling between the two unpaired electrons. For this purpose, a quantitative evaluation of the microscopic electronic parameters (electron transfer, magnetic coupling, magnetic orbital energy, and Coulomb repulsion) of the mixed-valence polyoxometalate cluster is performed. The parameters are extracted from valence-spectroscopy large configuration interaction (CI) calculations on embedded fragments. Then, these parameters are used in an …
First-principles calculations of surfaceHcenters inBaF2
2010
H center, a hole trapped at an interstitial anion site, placed on the 111 surface of Barium fluoride BaF2 has been studied by using density functional theory DFT with hybrid exchange potentials, namely, DFT-B3PW. Two different configurations of surface H center are investigated carefully. Both surface H-center systems have strong relaxations because of the surface effect. In the configuration that the interstitial fluorine atom is within the surface, named case 1 in this paper, the unpaired electron is almost equally distributed onto the two atoms of the H center, which is quite different from the bulk H-center case. The other configuration with one of the F atoms of the H center located ab…
Cubane-Type Mo3CoS4 Molecular Clusters with Three Different Metal Electron Populations: Structure, Reactivity and Their Use in the Synthesis of Hybri…
2004
Heterodimetallic cubane-type complexes coordinated to diphosphanes [Mo(3)CoS(4)(dmpe)(3)Cl(4)](+) ([1](+)) (dmpe=1,2-bis(dimethylphosphanyl)ethane), [Mo(3)CoS(4)(dmpe)(3)Cl(4)] (1) and [Mo(3)CoS(4)(dmpe)(3)Cl(3)(CO)] (2) with 14, 15 and 16 metal electrons, respectively, have been prepared from the [Mo(3)S(4)(dmpe)(3)Cl(3)](+) trinuclear precursor using [Co(2)(CO)(8)] or CoCl(2) as cobalt source. Cluster complexes [1](+) and 1 are easily interconverted chemically and electrochemically. The Co-Cl distance increases upon electron addition and substitution of the chlorine atom coordinated to cobalt with CO only takes place in presence of a reducing agent to give complex 2. Structural changes in…
