Ordering kinetics in synthetic Mg(Al,Fe3+)2O4 spinels: Quantitative elucidation of the whole Al-Mg-Fe partitioning, rate constants, activation energi…

2014

A novel procedure, based on the application of the kinetics simulator Gepasi, has been successfully applied for modeling the cation ordering process in two synthetic Mg(Al2-yFe3+y)O4 spinels (y~ 0.39 and 0.54, samples F39 and F54, respectively). The kinetic profiles suggested a two-stage mechanism, with rapid inter-site exchange of Fe3+ with Mg followed by slow exchange of Al with Mg. The trial to apply the classical approaches, based on the explicit solutions of the differential equations corresponding to single-cation (Sha-Chappel model) or two-cation (Müller model) exchange reactions, proved not feasible in the whole time range, thus implying a lack of information about the exchange proc…

Molecular organization of a water-insoluble iridium(III) complex in mixed monolayers.

2007

Abstract In this work, organized mixed monolayers containing a cationic water-insoluble iridium(III) complex, Ir-dye, [Ir(ppy)2(tmphen)]PF6, (tmphen = 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, and ppy = 2-phenylpyridine), and an anionic lipid matrix, DMPA, dimyristoyl-phosphatidic acid, with different molar proportions, were formed by the co-spreading method at the air–water interface. The presence of the dye at the interface, as well as the molecular organization of the mixed films, is deduced from surface techniques such as π – A isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) and reflection spectroscopy. The results obtained remark the formation of an equimolar mixed film, Ir-dye/DMPA = 1:1. B…

D2/H2 adsorption selectivity on FAU zeolites at 77.4 K: Influence of Si/Al ratio and cationic composition

2018

Abstract Equilibrium D2/H2 adsorption selectivity was determined at 77.4 K below 1000 hPa for a series of FAU type zeolites X exchanged with different cations (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Ba2+ and Mn2+). In addition NaY, DAY (dealuminated Y) and pure silica CHA and MFI zeolites were studied. Two experimental approaches were used to determine the D2/H2 adsorption selectivity: direct determination at the thermodynamic equilibrium from manometric coadsorption experiments and calculations by Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) from single gas adsorption isotherms. While these two approaches are not in quantitative agreement, they reveal similar trends. At low loading (  MnX > LiX > CaX ≈ NaX > …

Group 3 and 4 metal alkyl and hydrido complexes containing a linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligand: “constrained geometry” polymerization catalysts fo…

2002

Abstract In order to understand the nature of the putative cationic 12-electron species [M(η 5 :η 1 -C 5 R 4 SiMe 2 NR′)R″] + of titanium catalysts supported by a linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligand, several derivatives with different cyclopentadienyl C 5 R 4 and amido substituents R′ were studied systematically. The use of tridentate variants (C 5 R 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 X) 2− (C 5 R 4 =C 5 Me 4 , C 5 H 4 , C 5 H 3 t Bu ; X=OMe, SMe, NMe 2 ) allowed the NMR spectroscopic observation of the titanium benzyl cations [Ti(η 5 :η 1 -C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 X)(CH 2 Ph)] + . Isoelectronic neutral rare earth metal complexes [Ln(η 5 :η 1 -C 5 R 4 SiMe 2 NR′)R″] can be expected to be active for pol…

Neutral and cationic trimethylsilylmethyl complexes of the rare earth metals supported by a crown ether: synthesis and structural characterization

2003

The synthesis of a series of thermally robust, isolable trimethylsilylmethyl complexes of the rare earth metals stabilized by 12-crown-4 [Ln(CH2SiMe3)3(12-crown-4)] (Ln = Sc, Y, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) is reported. The crystallographically characterized yttrium and lutetium complexes [Ln(CH2SiMe3)3(12-crown-4)] exhibit facial coordination of the crown ether at the neutral lanthanide trialkyl unit. The coordination geometry can be derived from a capped octahedron. VT NMR spectroscopic studies revealed a labile coordination of the crown ether in thf solution. Reaction of the diamagnetic derivatives with triethylammonium tetraphenylborate in thf results in the clean formation of th…

CO Oxidation on Cationic Gold Clusters: A Theoretical Study

2008

Aiming at understanding the elementary steps governing the oxidation of CO catalyzed by dispersed or supported gold nanoclusters, the reactivity of molecular species, such as O2 and CO, on neutral and positively charged Au13 clusters have been studied using a DFT approach. Two CO oxidation mechanisms have been simulated, involving respectively the adsorption of CO and O2 on adjacent catalytic sites (two-sites mechanism) and the competitive interaction of the reactants on the same site (single-site mechanism). It is demonstrated that in the former scheme a definite interaction of CO and O2 with both the charged and neutral cluster is effective, but that a chemical reaction between the adsorb…

Anionic Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complexes with a Bis-Tetrazolate Ancillary Ligand for Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

2017

none 10 si A series of monoanionic Ir(III) complexes (2-4) of general formula [Ir(C^N)2(b-trz)](TBA) are presented, where C^N indicates three different cyclometallating ligands (Hppy = 2-phenylpyridine; Hdfppy = 2-(2,4-difluoro-phenyl)pyridine; Hpqu = 2-methyl-3-phenylquinoxaline), b-trz is a bis-tetrazolate anionic N^N chelator (H2b-trz = di(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)methane), and TBA = tetrabutylammonium. 2-4 are prepared in good yields by means of the reaction of the suitable b-trz bidentate ligand with the desired iridium(III) precursor. The chelating nature of the ancillary ligand, thanks to an optimized structure and geometry, improves the stability of the complexes, which have been fully char…

Synthesis and characterization of new aromatic tweezers and complex formation with tropylium ion in 1,2-dichloroethane

2001

A series of benzene and pyridine tweezers bearing phenyl, naphthyl and anthryl receptor units was prepared and characterized. The x-ray crystal structure of the 1,3-bis(9-methanolanthracene)methylbenzene ligand (5) is reported. UV–visible and NMR spectroscopy were used to investigate the host–guest chemistry of the new ligands in complexation with tropylium tetrafluoroborate as a model aromatic cationic guest in 1,2-dichloroethane. The appearance of coloured charge-transfer absorption bands demonstrates the complex formation with a tropylium ion. The enlargement of aryl receptor size from phenyl and naphthyl to anthryl increases the stability of complexes. Electron donor–acceptor interactio…

A Singular Noninterpenetrating Coordination Polymer with the Pt3O4 Structure Containing Naked [Na+]4 Units

2006

The homoleptic low-spin complex [Fe(L)3]2+ where L is the bisbidentate ligand 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, coordinates Na+ ions via exo-oriented dione groups defining a three-dimensional cationic network {[Fe(L)3]4Na3}11+}n with Pt3O4 topology. The large volume generated by the network is filled with 11 perchlorate ions, 7 "NaClO4" ionic pairs, and 9 H2O molecules. Singular [Na+]4 units, in which the Na+ ions are practically uncoordinated, are formed.
