On the regeneration of thermally regenerative ammonia batteries

2018

In the past few years, thermally regenerative ammonia battery (TRAB) has been proposed as an effective tool to recover waste heat at temperatures below 130 °C. Most of the literature available is devoted to the power production step, with less attention being given to the regeneration step (e.g. the removal of ammonia from the anolyte). In this paper, the TRAB is analyzed with particular attention to the regeneration step and to the study of various generation of energy-regeneration cycles. It was shown that approximately 90 °C is necessary for the regeneration step due to the fact that ammonia is present in the anolyte mainly as a complex. Various cycles were performed with success, demons…

Spectroscopic, crystal structural, theoretical and biological studies of phenylacetohydrazide Schiff base derivatives and their copper complexes

2020

Two phenylacetohydrazide Schiff base derivatives: N’-(1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene)-2-phenylacetohydrazide, HL1, and N’-((1-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)methylene)-2-phenylacetohydrazide, HL2, were synthesized. HL1 dimerizes in presence of HCl, probably via radical mechanism to give (2,2’-((1E)-hydrazine-1,2-diylidenebis(ethan-1-yl-1-ylidene))diphenol (DIM). Thermal reactions of Cu(II) ions with the two Schiff base ligands resulted in formation of the binuclear complexes [(CuL1)2] and [(CuL2)2]. The stoichiometry and structures of the reported compounds were investigated by several spectroscopic and analytical techniques. The structure of the HL1 ligand and its complex [(CuL1)2] as well as the D…

Coordination polymers based on bridging cyanocarbanions and bis-tridentate p-phenylenediamine ligands

2017

Two new Cu(II) coordination polymeric neutral chains of formula [Cu 2 (1,4-tpbd)(μ-A) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ](A) 2 with A = tcnoet − ( 1 ) and tcnopr − ( 2 ) (1,4-tpbd =  N,N,N′N′ -tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)benzene-1,4-diamine, tcnoet −  = 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-ethoxypropenide and tcnopr −  = 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-propoxypropenide) have been synthesized and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. 1  and  2 show alternating chains where the 1,4-tpbd and the cyanocarbanion units (tcnoet − for 1 and tcnopr − for 2 ) alternate as bridging ligands. The molecular structure can be viewed as [Cu 2 (μ-tpbd)] 4+ dinuclear units (with Cu⋯Cu distances of 8.2233(3) for 1 …

One-dimensional oxalato-bridged copper(II) complex possessing two structurally different metallic centres

2001

Abstract The crystal structure of the oxalato-bridged copper(II) compound [Cu2(μ-ox)2(ampy)3]n 1 (ox=oxalate dianion, ampy=2-amino-3-methylpyridine) consists of infinite corrugated one-dimensional chains in which two types of copper(II) centres, five- and six-coordinated, are bridged sequentially by asymmetric bis-bidentate oxalato ligands. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show the occurrence of a significant intrachain antiferromagnetic coupling (J=−22.9 cm −1 ) .

Solvent directs the dimensionality of Cu-dicyanoimidazoles

2022

In this paper, we report one-pot reactions of the same reactants 4,5-dicyanoimidazole and CuI in different solvents. In pure MeCN, the reaction resulted in previously reported MOF structure [Cu(4,5-dicyanoimidazole)]n.(MeCN)0.5n (1). On the other hand, when MeCN/MeOH solvent mixture was used, a new coordination polymer [Cu(4,5-dicyanoimidazole)(MeCN)(CuI)]n (2) was formed. The crystallization yielded very different structures as determined by X-ray crystallography. In 1, the solvent molecule acetonitrile occupies the MOF pores via weak interactions, but in 2 it is coordinated to the metal center. Computational DFT calculations and topological charge density analysis were utilized to explore…

Heterometallic CoII-CoIII-MII alkoxido-bridged heptanuclear motifs (M = Cu, Zn). Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties

2018

Two new alkoxido-bridged heterometallic complexes of formula [CoIICoIII 3CuII 3(dea)6(CH3COO)3](ClO4)0.75(CH3COO)1.25 (1) and [CoII 2CoIII 2ZnII 3(tea)2(piv)6(CH3O)2(OH)2(CH3OH)2]·H2O 2 (H2dea=diethanolamine, H3tea=triethanolamine and Hpiv=pivalic acid) have been assembled using aminoalcohol ligands. The cationic core in 1 possesses a threefold crystallographic axis, and it exhibits a set of three copper(II), one cobalt(II) and three cobalt(III) ions arranged as a hexagon of alternating copper(II) and cobalt(III) ions around the central cobalt(II) ion. Each edge of the hexagon is defined by a double alkoxido bridge, the outer one being bis-monodentate with copper(II)-cobalt(III) pair wherea…

2007

International audience; One-pot reaction of copper(II) chloride dihydrate CuCl2 · 2H2O with 2,2′-bipyridyl (bpy = C10H8N2) in the presence of sodium adipate Na2adip (adip2− = [O2C(CH2)4CO2]2−) and potassium 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-ethoxypropenide (tcnoet− = [(NC)2CC(OEt)C(CN)2]−) gives the new compound [Cu4(bpy)4(adip)3](tcnoet)2 · 2H2O (1), which was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Cu(II) metal ion presents an elongated square pyramidal CuN2O3 environment, with an oxygen atom in apical position and a base plane involving almost equivalent bond lengths. The structure can be described as a pseudo dinuclear species in which two Cu(bpy) units are triply bridged by …

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new anticancer drugs: FGFR inhibitors

2021

Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) constitute a family of tyrosine kinases receptors (RTKs) that exert pivotal physiological functions in human embryonic and adult tissues. Hyperactivated FGFR signaling drives tumorigenesis in multiple cancer types, including lung and brain cancers. Great effort has been laid on the development of new compounds that specifically target the FGFR axis. However, cancer cell- based and microenvironmental resistance mechanisms against FGFR inhibitors often arise and are currently poorly understood. Furthermore, FGFR-targeted therapy often presents different side effects, e due to the broad biological spectrum of the FGFR signaling axis as well as to its …

A CI study of the CuCO and CuCO+ complexes

1987

MO CI calculations are carried out using an optimal space of valence virtual MOs obtained by means of a projection technique, as a linear combination of the AOs which are more occupied in the molecular Fock space. Localization of the occupied MOs and nonvalence virtual MOs is also achieved. The overall procedure is proven to be quite advantageous and well suited to obtain potential energy curves which keep the same physical meaning along the range of distances studied. Using a slightly better than double‐zeta quality basis set, a valence CAS‐CI, and selected CI wave function by the CIPSI algorithm have revealed a possible weak van der Waals interaction for the 2Σ+ state of CuCO, which remai…
