Interlake variation and environmental controls of denitrification across different geographical scales
2013
Denitrification in lakes significantly reduces the nitrogen (N) load from land to oceans, but the factors controlling it remain poorly under- stood. Therefore, interlake variation of denitrification in sediments of small to medium-sized lakes (from 0.03 to 17.8 km 2 ) was studied across different geo- graphical scales. At the local scale, the denitrification rates and sediment microbial communities were studied in 4 boreal lakes in close proximity (within 20 km) using the isotope pairing technique (IPT) and molecular methods. These local scale data were com- bined with previously published data on denitrifica- tion rates from 10 other European lakes to extend the analysis to the regional (b…

An easy access to fused chromanones via rhodium catalyzed oxidative coupling of salicylaldehydes with heterobicyclic olefins
2016
Abstract Herein we describe a detailed study on the rhodium catalyzed oxidative coupling of salicylaldehydes with heterobicyclic olefins such as diazabicyclic olefins and urea-derived bicyclic olefins. The developed method provides an ideal route to fused chromanone systems in a single synthetic step. Moreover, the scope of this methodology was extended to different oxa/aza-bridged bicyclic urea derivatives.
Oligophenyls with Multiple Disulfide Bridges as Higher Homologues of Dibenzo[c,e][1,2]dithiin: Synthesis and Application in Lithium-Ion Batteries.
2020
Abstract Higher homologues of dibenzo[c,e][1,2]dithiin were synthesized from oligophenyls bearing multiple methylthio groups. Single‐crystal X‐ray analyses revealed their nonplanar structures and helical enantiomers of higher meta‐congener 6. Such dibenzo[1,2]dithiin homologues are demonstrated to be applicable to lithium‐ion batteries as cathode, displaying a high capacity of 118 mAh g−1 at a current density of 50 mA g−1.
A new copper(II) chelate complex with tridentate ligand: Synthesis, crystal and molecular electronic structure of aqua-(diethylenetriamine-N, N′, N′′…
2015
Abstract The crystals of a new aqua-(diethylenetriamine-N, N′, N′′)-copper(II) sulfate monohydrate have been synthesized by direct interaction of solid copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate with diethylenetriamine (deta). The crystal structure of [Cu(deta)H2O]SO4⋅H2O (1) has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods at 100 K and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction pattern: space group P 1 ¯ , a = 7.2819(4), b = 8.4669(4), c = 8.7020(3) A, α = 83.590(3), β = 89.620(4), γ = 84.946(4)°, Z = 2. The environment of the Cu(II) atom is a distorted, elongated square pyramid which consists of three nitrogen atoms of the deta molecule and oxygen atom of the water molecule in the basal plane of t…

2020
A new (ethylenediamine-N,N′)-(diethylenetriamine-N,N′,N″)-copper(II) hexafluoridosilicate complex, [Cu(eda)(deta)]SiF6 (1) (eda – ethylenediamine; deta – diethylenetriamine), was synthesized by direct interaction of anhydrous CuSiF6 with polyethylenepolyamine (pepa – H2N[C2H4NH]nH, where n = 1 (eda) and 2 (deta)). The crystals of 1 were characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 consists of SiF62− discrete anions and [Cu(eda)(deta)]2+ complex cations whose Cu2+ ions are chelated by eda and deta. The coordination polyhedron of Cu(II) atom is an elongated square pyramid which consists of four nitrogen atoms belonging to NH2 groups of eda and NH2 and NH groups of …
Synthesis, structural, and thermal characterization of a new binuclear copper(II) chelate complex bearing an amine-hardener for epoxy resins
2016
A new di(μ-carbonato)bis[aqua(diethylenetriamine)copper(II)] hexahydrate complex, [{Cu(NH(C2H4NH2)2)(H2O)(μ-CO3)}2]⋅6H2O (1), was synthesized by direct interaction of malachite with diethylenetriamine (dien). The crystals of 1 were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and IR spectra, as well as structurally characterized. Compound 1 consists of [{Cu(dien)(H2O)(μ-CO3)}2] discrete units whose CO32– anions play the role of bridging ligands combining two Cu(II) chelate cores into a centrosymmetric dimer. The elongated octahedral environment of Cu2+ consists of three nitrogens of dien and an oxygen from CO32– at the base of the bipyramid; the two apical positions of such polyhedron are occu…
Recent Advances on the Halo- and Cyano-Trifluoromethylation of Alkenes and Alkynes
2021
Incorporation of fluorine into organic molecules is a well-established strategy in the design of advanced materials, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Among numerous modern synthetic approaches, functionalization of unsaturated bonds with simultaneous addition of trifluoromethyl group along with other substituents is currently one of the most attractive methods undergoing wide-ranging development. In this review article, we discuss the most significant contributions made in this area during the last decade (2012−2021). The reactions reviewed in this work include chloro-, bromo-, iodo-, fluoro- and cyano-trifluoromethylation of alkenes and alkynes.
Beta-spectrum shapes of forbidden β decays
2018
The neutrinoless [Formula: see text] decay of atomic nuclei continues to attract fervent interest due to its potential to confirm the possible Majorana nature of the neutrino, and thus the nonconservation of the lepton number. At the same time, the direct dark matter experiments are looking for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) through their scattering on nuclei. The neutrino-oscillation experiments on reactor antineutrinos base their analyses on speculations of [Formula: see text]-spectrum shapes of nuclear decays, thus leading to the notorious “reactor antineutrino anomaly.” In all these experimental efforts, one encounters the problem of [Formula: see text]-spectrum shapes of…
A note on discrete sets
2009
We give several partial positive answers to a question of Juhasz and Szentmiklossy regarding the minimum number of discrete sets required to cover a compact space. We study the relationship between the size of discrete sets, free sequences and their closures with the cardinality of a Hausdorff space, improving known results in the literature.
