Magneto-structural correlations in asymmetric oxalato-bridged dicopper(II) complexes with polymethyl-substituted pyrazole ligands
2018
Two oxalato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes, [{Cu(Hdmpz)3}2(μ-ox)](ClO4)2·2H2O (1) and [{Cu(Htmpz)3}2(μ-ox)](ClO4)2·2H2O (2) (Hdmpz = 3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole and Htmpz = 3,4,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrazole), have been synthesized and structurally and magnetically characterized. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 consist of asymmetric bis-bidentate μ-oxalatodicopper(II) complex cations with two short [Cu–O = 1.976(2) (1) and 1.973(2) Å (2)] and two long copper–oxygen bonds [Cu–O = 2.122(2) (1) and 2.110(2) Å (2)]. The environment at each CuII ion in 1 and 2 is closer to the trigonal bipyramidal geometry than to the square pyramidal [τ = 0.633 (1) and 0.711 (2)]. The magnetic properties of 1 a…
Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of the cyclic tetranuclear compound [Cu4(pz)4(hppa)2(H2O)4] [pz = pyrazolate; hppa = R,S-2-hydro…
2019
Abstract The synthesis, X-ray structure and magnetic properties of the neutral tetranuclear copper(II) complex of formula [Cu4(pz)4(hppa)2(H2O)4] (1) [Hpz = pyrazole and hppa = R,S-2-hydroxo-2-phenyl-2-(1-pyrazolyl)acetate] are reported. Remarkably, the structure of 1 reveals the presence of the S- and R-forms of the new hppa ligand which is formed in situ in the complex reaction between copper(II), pyrazole and phenylmalonate in water:methanol solvent mixture under ambient conditions. The two crystallographically independent copper(II) ions [Cu(1)/Cu(2)] are five-coordinate in square pyramidal surroundings. Three nitrogen atoms, from two pz groups and one hppa ligand and one oxygen atom of…
Cobalt Clusters with Cubane-Type Topologies Based on Trivacant Polyoxometalate Ligands.
2016
Four novel cobalt-substituted polyoxometalates having cobalt cores exhibiting cubane or dicubane topologies have been synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, electrochemistry, UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray single-crystal analysis, and magnetic studies. The tetracobalt(II)-substituted polyoxometalate [Co4(OH)3(H2O)6(PW9O34)](4-) (1) consists of a trilacunary [B-α-PW9O34](9-) unit which accommodates a cubane-like {Co(II)4O4} core. In the heptacobalt(II,III)-containing polyoxometalates [Co7(OH)6(H2O)6(PW9O34)2](9-) (2), [Co7(OH)6(H2O)4(PW9O34)2]n(9n-) (3), and [Co7(OH)6(H2O)6(P2W15O56)2](15-) (4), dicubane-like {Co(II)6Co(III)O8} cores are encapsulated between two heptadentate [B…
Theoretical study on the decomposition mechanism of bisphenol A polycarbonate induced by the combined effect of humidity and UV irradiation.
2020
Polycarbonate (PC) is a good material for covering and protecting cultural heritage sites because of its durability, mechanical properties, and transparency. When bisphenol A polycarbonate is subjected to weathering conditions this polymer shows several degradation processes depending on the irradiation wavelength, humidity and temperature. In particular, the combined effects of humidity and UV irradiation speed up the PC molecular weight reduction. In this work, the decomposition mechanisms associated to the hydrolysis process are scrutinized and the effects of UV irradiation on the hydrolysis process are evaluated throughout the Density Functional Theory (DFT) approach. It was found that …
Effect of AlR3 (R = Me, Et, iBu) addition on the composition and microstructure of ethylene/1-olefin copolymers made with post-metallocene complexes …
2018
The effect of trialkylaluminum compound (AlR3, where R = Me, Et, iBu) addition on the performance of the [LigZrCl]2(μ-O)/AliBu3/Ph3CB(C6F5)4 and LigTiCl2/AliBu3/Ph3CB(C6F5)4 (Lig = Me2N(CH2)2N(CH2-2-O-3,5-tBu2-C6H2)2) catalysts in ethylene/1-olefin copolymerization was investigated. The presence of AlMe3 in the feed during the copolymerization process catalyzed by the diamine-bis(phenolate) zirconium catalyst greatly increases the amount of incorporated comonomer and leads to microstructural changes, e.g., the formation of blocky and alternating sequences of 1-olefin units. Moreover, the use of AlMe3 limits the reaction yield and decreases the molecular weight of the produced copolymers. Th…

Illustrative examples on CH3D, CH4, CH3Cl and PH3 are reported and the present status of data available is given. It is written in C++ for standard PC computer operating under Windows. The full package including on-lin…
The high-resolution far-infrared spectrum of methane at the SOLEIL synchrotron
2010
International audience; As a tetrahedral molecule, methane has no permanent dipole moment. Its spectrum, however, displays faint absorption lines in the THz region, due to centrifugal distorsion effects. This is important for planetary applications since this region is used to measure methane concentration in some planetary atmospheres, in particular on Titan. Up to now, all measurements relied either on some old low resolution infrared absorption spectra, or on high resolution Stark measurements for low J values only. Even if these results have been reexamined recently [E. H. Wishnow, G. S. Orton, I. Ozier and H. P. Gush, J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 103, 102-117 (2007)], it seeme…
Spectroscopic tools for remote sensing of greenhouse gases CH4, CF4 and SF6
2003
International audience; Highly symmetrical molecules such as CH4, CF4 or SF6 are known to be atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gases. High-resolution spectroscopy in the infrared is particularly suitable for the monitoring of gas concentration and radiative transfers in the earth's atmosphere. This technique requires extensive theoretical studies for the modeling of the spectra of such molecules (positions, intensities and shapes of absorption lines). Here, we have developed powerful tools for the analysis and the simulation of absorption spectra of highly symmetrical molecules. These tools have been implemented in the spherical top data system (STDS) and highly-spherical top data syste…
Diagenetic stability of non-traditional stable isotope systems (Ca, Sr, Mg, Zn) in teeth – An in-vitro alteration experiment of biogenic apatite in i…
2021
Stable isotope ratios and trace element concentrations of fossil bones and teeth are important geochemical proxies for the reconstruction of diet and past environment in archaeology and palaeontology. However, since diagenesis can significantly alter primary diet-related isotope signatures and elemental compositions, it is important to understand and quantify alteration processes. Here, we present the results of in-vitro alteration experiments of dental tissues from a modern African elephant molar reacted in aqueous solutions at 30 °C and 90 °C for 4 to 63 days. Dental cubes with ≈ 3 mm edge length, comprising both enamel and dentin, were placed into 2 mL of acidic aqueous sol…
A Search for Ultra-high-energy Neutrinos from TXS 0506+056 Using the Pierre Auger Observatory
2020
Results of a search for ultra-high-energy neutrinos with the Pierre Auger Observatory from the direction of the blazar TXS 0506+056 are presented. They were obtained as part of the follow-up that stemmed from the detection of high-energy neutrinos and gamma rays with IceCube, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, and other detectors of electromagnetic radiation in several bands. The Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to neutrinos in the energy range from 100 PeV to 100 EeV and in the zenith-angle range from θ = 60° to θ = 95°, where the zenith angle is measured from the vertical direction. No neutrinos from the direction of TXS 0506+056 have been found. The results were analyzed in three periods: One of 6 m…
