A Supramolecularly-Caged Ionic Iridium(III) Complex Yielding Bright and Very Stable Solid-State Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells
2008
A new iridium(III) complex showing intramolecular interligand pi-stacking has been synthesized and used to improve the stability of single-component, solid-state light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) devices. The pi-stacking results in the formation of a very stable supramolecularly caged complex. LECs using this complex show extraordinary stabilities (estimated lifetime of 600 h) and luminance values (average luminance of 230 cd m-2) indicating the path toward stable ionic complexes for use in LECs reaching stabilities required for practical applications.
The Structure, Stoichiometry and Properties of C-S-H Prepared by C3S Hydration Under Controlled Condition
1998
Hydrations of tricalcium silicate undertaken by keeping constant lime concentration in solution in an open system and in diluted suspensions for different values of [CaO] ranging between 6.5 and 30 mmol/1 show that the lime concentration in solution is the parameter which determines the main characteristics of the reaction and products. The stoichiometry of C3S hydration products vanes with lime concentration in the same way as synthetic C-S-H until C/S c.a. 1.5 corresponding to about [CaO] =20 mmol/1. Beyond this concentration, single phase C-S-H samples were obtained with 1.8<C/S<2. The discontinuity of the variation of stoichiometry with concentration is characteristic of an invariant po…
Investigation into the reaction of (t-BuC5H4)2Nb(η2-Te2)H with CH3Li: Hydride abstraction versus telluride methylation
2007
Abstract The reaction of [ Cp 2 ′ Nb ( Te 2 ) H ] ( 1 ) (Cp′ = t -BuC 5 H 4 ) with CH 3 Li in THF was examined by variable temperature 1 H NMR, ESR and mass spectroscopic means. From these methods it is evident that the diamagnetic compounds [ Cp 2 ′ NbH 2 ( TeCH 3 ) ] ( 2 ) and [ Cp 2 ′ Nb ( Te ) CH 3 ] ( 3 ) as well as the paramagnetic compound [ Cp 2 ′ Nb ( TeCH 3 ) 2 ] ( 4 ) form simultaneously. In the subsequent reaction of the intermediate solution with [Co 2 (CO) 8 ] compound 4 was consumed and the compound [ Cp 2 ′ Nb ( μ - TeCH 3 ) 2 Co(CO) 2 ] ( 5 ) formed in good yield. Complex 5 was characterized by IR and variable temperature 1 H NMR spectroscopies. Electrochemical two-electro…
Detection of fluorine using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy
2017
In general, the detection of F and other halogens is challenging through conventional techniques. In this paper, various approaches for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of F using the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique were demonstrated. In LIBS, fluorine detection can be realized by means of atomic lines and molecular bands. For the purposes of our experiment, two sets of pellets with various contents of CaF2, CaCO3 and cellulose were analyzed using a lab-based LIBS system under a He atmosphere. The fluorine atomic line at 685.60 nm was correlated with CaF signals proving their close relationship. Consequently, the limits of detection were determined for both an…
New n-type molecular semiconductor–doped insulator (MSDI) heterojunctions combining a triphenodioxazine (TPDO) and the lutetium bisphthalocyanine (Lu…
2018
International audience; Molecular semiconductor–doped insulator (MSDI) heterojunctions were designed using a new family of sublayers, namely triphenodioxazines (TPDO). The device obtained by combining the tetracyano triphenodioxazine bearing two triisopropylsilylethynyl moieties as a sublayer with the lutetium bisphthalocyanine (LuPc2) as a top layer showed a nonlinear current–voltage characteristic independent of the sign of the polarization, which is the signature of MSDI heterojunctions. Thus, a TPDO was used in a chemical sensor for the first time. Despite LuPc2 being the only material exposed to the atmosphere, the positive response of the device under ammonia revealed the key role pla…
Structure and properties of GaNxOy films grown by nitridation of GaAs (100) substrates
2004
GaAs (100) substrates have been heat-treated in a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition reactor under flows of NH 3 and an oxygen organo-metallic precursor at temperatures between 650°C and 750°C. Yellowish films formed at the surface of all the samples. Gallium, nitrogen and oxygen were detected by EDX analysis of the films. The oxygen content was estimated in the range of at 5-10 at% depending on the heat-treatment temperature. X-ray diffraction and HRTEM results indicate that the structure of the films corresponds to the hexagonal wurtzite phase of GaN with an expanded unit cell. Raman spectra show hands corresponding to the Raman active GaN modes as well as disorder-activated broad ba…
Spectroscopic Detection and Structure of Hydroxidooxidosulfur (HOSO) Radical, An Important Intermediate in the Chemistry of Sulfur-Bearing Compounds
2013
The rotational spectrum of hydroxidooxidosulfur, HOSO, an intermediate of particular interest in the combustion of sulfur-rich fuels, has been determined to high accuracy from gas-phase measurements. Detection of specific isotopic species using isotopically enriched gases suggests that HOSO is formed in our discharge nozzle via the reaction H + SO2 (+M) → HOSO (+M). A precise experimental r0 geometry has also been derived from the isotopic analysis; HOSO has a cis configuration, but the subtle structural question of its planarity remains unresolved. From the derived spectroscopic constants, in situ and remote sensing for this fundamental radical can now be undertaken in a variety of environ…
Effect of the Mo atom flow on the molybdenum growth on TiO2 (110) surface
2004
Abstract Molybdenum has been deposited at room temperature on stoichiometric TiO 2 (1 1 0) surfaces with two deposition rates: 0.1 equivalent monolayer (eqML) and 1.5 eqML min −1 . X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies clearly reveal an effect of the deposition rate upon the growth mode and the interfacial reaction. Indeed, whereas a strong interfacial reaction between Mo and TiO 2 involves a Stranski–Krastanov growth mode with the formation of amorphous molybdenum oxide monolayers for the lowest deposition rate, no reaction can be observed for the highest deposition rate. Moreover in this latter case, the growth mode seems to be a 3D …
FT-ICR MS studies of ion-molecule reactions of Ru+ and Os+ with oxygen
2005
Abstract The reactions of stored ruthenium and osmium cations with oxygen have been studied in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer. In case of osmium the reaction products OsO+ and OsO 2 + have been observed and corresponding reaction-rate constants have been determined. In addition, there is an unreactive fraction of Os+ ions due to the presence of a slightly endothermic reacting ground state. Only the excited states react with oxygen. For ruthenium no spontaneous reaction with oxygen has been observed unless the cyclotron motion of Ru+ was excited. The results are discussed with respect to a similar investigation in a Penning trap-TOF mass spectrometer […
Defektanalyse von a-C- und CNx-Schichten mittels Röntgen-Photoemissions-Elektronenmikroskopie (X-PEEM)Characterization of stoichiometric defects in d…
2001
Amorphe Kohlenstoff- und Kohlenstoffnitridschichten werden vielseitig als Schutzschichten in der Industrie verwandt. Insbesondere werden in der Magnetfestplattenspeicherindustrie verschleisfeste sauerstoffundurchlassige Schutzschichten von wenigen Nanometern Dicke benotigt. Rontgen-Photoemissions-Elektronenmikroskopie (X-PEEM) stellt eine Analysetechnik zur Charakterisierung u.a. von Kohlenstoffschutzschichten dar, da sich Informationen uber die lokale Bindungsumgebung aus der Rontgenabsorptions-Nahkantenstruktur (XANES) gewinnen lassen. CVD-DLC- sowie a-C- und CNx-Schichten wurden analysiert. Fur die a-C-Schichten auf Si (100) wurde der Anteil sp2-hybridisierter Atome bestimmt und mit den …
