Preparation and structural studies on dibutyltin(IV) complexes with pyridine mono- and dicarboxylic acids
2004
Abstract A number of organotin(IV) complexes with pyridine mono- and dicarboxylic acids (containing ligating –COOH group(s) and aromatic {N} atoms) were prepared in the solid state. The bonding sites of the ligands were determined by means of FT-IR spectroscopic measurements. It was found that in most cases the –COO− groups form bridges between two central {Sn} atoms, thereby leading to polymeric (oligomeric) complexes. On this basis, the experimental 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopic data were treated with partial quadrupole splitting approximations. The calculations predicted the existence of complexes with octahedral (oh) and trigonal-bipyramidal (tbp) structures, but the formation of comple…
Quadrupole excitation of stored ion motion at the true cyclotron frequency
1995
Abstract The motion of an ion in a Penning trap has been investigated in the presence of an azimuthal quadrupole radio frequency field and a damping force provided by buffer gas collisions. Analytical expressions are derived which describe the line shape of the cyclotron resonance as well as the properties of the mass-selective cooling mechanism for heavy ions. Excellent agreement is observed between theoretical results and experimental data obtained with the tandem Penning trap mass spectromer ISOLTRAP at ISOLDE (CERN).
Excitation modes for fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.
1992
AbstractVarious geometric configurations for the excitation of coherent ion motion in Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR/MS) are analyzed (in some cases for the first time) with unified notation. The instantaneous power absorption, F·v, in which v is ion velocity and F the force produced by the applied excitation electric field (harmonic, single frequency, on-resonance, in-phase), is time averaged and then set equal to the time rate of change of ion total (cyclotron + magnetron + trapping) energy, to yield a differential equation that is readily solved for the (time-dependent) amplitude of each of the various ion motions. The standard FT-ICR excitation (name…
Theory of quadrupole detection fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance
1991
Abstract The theoretical basis of the recently introduced quadrupole detection Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance technique is developed by use of the concept of image charges induced in the detection electrodes. The appearance of resonances at frequencies 2ω+, 2ω−, (ω+ + ω−) and (ω+ − ω−) is explained. The new method is compared with the standard (dipole) detection scheme. Techniques are suggested allowing the simultaneous determination of all resonance frequencies ω+ (perturbed, or reduced, cyclotron frequency), ω− (magnetron frequency) and ωz (trapping frequency).
The elliptical Penning trap: Experimental investigations and simulations
2008
Abstract The application of an additional azimuthal quadrupolar electrostatic field to a Penning trap leads to a field configuration referred to as an elliptical Penning trap. The resulting changes of the radial ion motions have been investigated experimentally and by use of simulations. The eigenfrequencies, i.e., the magnetron frequency ω ˜ − and the reduced cyclotron frequency ω ˜ + , are found to be shifted with respect to those of the standard Penning trap ω − , ω + , respectively. As the shift of the magnetron frequency ω ˜ − is larger than that of the reduced cyclotron frequency ω ˜ + their sum ω ˜ + + ω ˜ − is also a function of the ellipticity and no longer equal to the cyclotron f…
Mass measurements of very high accuracy by time-of-flight ion cyclotron resonance of ions injected into a penning trap
1989
Abstract The possibility of absolute mass measurements using time-of-flight detection of ion cyclotron resonance on ions injected into a Penning trap has been demonstrated. Resolving powers of 2 million have been achieved, with accuracies of about 0.5 ppm. Absolute accuracy is obtained by direct observation of the sum frequency of the cyclotron and the magnetron motions through the use of an azimuthal quadrupole r.f. field to transform initial magnetron motion into cyclotron motion. Imperfections of the Penning trap leading to systematic errors are discussed. The system has been designed specifically to measure the masses of radionuclides produced at the on-line isotope separator ISOLDE. Wi…
Damping effects in Penning trap mass spectrometry
2011
Abstract Collisions of ions with residual gas atoms in a Penning trap can have a strong influence on the trajectories of the ions, depending on the atom species and the gas pressure. We report on investigations of damping effects in time-of-flight ion-cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry with the Penning trap mass spectrometers ISOLTRAP at ISOLDE/CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) and SHIPTRAP at GSI (Darmstadt, Germany). The work focuses on the interconversion of the magnetron and cyclotron motional modes, in particular the modification of the resonance profiles for quadrupolar excitation due to the damping effect of the residual gas. Extensive experiments have been performed with standard and Ra…
Photocatalytic degradation of 4-Nitrophenol by g-C3N4-MCy: Mechanism study and kinetic modeling
2021
Abstract A graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4-MCy) photocatalyst was prepared by thermal condensation of melamine and cyanuric acid with equal proportions. The photocatalyst was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Specific surface area (SSA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), and DRS–UV–Vis spectroscopic methods. We studied the photo-degradation kinetics of 4-nitrophenol using a g-C3N4-MCy. Four parameters were applied including initial concentration of 4-nitrophenol, amount of catalyst, dissolved oxygen content, and photon flux. The reaction rate constant was shown to be correlate…
Porous materials as delivery and protective agents for Vitamin A
2016
The suitability of porous materials to immobilize and release under control bioactive molecules prompted us to design and study delivery systems of Vitamin A (VitA). This molecule, relevant in several physiological functions, is easily oxidized. Commercial VitA was immobilized in two different clays, montmorillonite K-10 (MMT) and sepiolite (SEP), and in MCM-41, by impregnation. Characterization of the resulting hybrid materials by XRD, FTIR and 13C and 29Si (MAS) NMR spectroscopies revealed its presence. The photo-stability tests showed decreased degradation of VitA in the clays, compared to MCM-41 and the pure VitA, while thermostability is observed until ∼100 °C. The kinetics of the rele…
Extended Fourier-transform spectroscopy studies and deperturbation analysis of the spin-orbit coupled A1Σ+ and b3Π states in RbCs.
2014
The article presents a study of the strongly spin-orbit coupled singlet A(1)Σ(+) and triplet b(3)Π states of the RbCs molecule, which provide an efficient optical path to transfer ultracold molecules to their rovibrational ground state. Fourier-transform A(1)Σ(+) - b(3)Π → X(1)Σ(+) and (4)(1)Σ(+) → A(1)Σ(+) - b(3)Π laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra were recorded for the natural mixture of the (85)Rb(133)Cs and (87)Rb(133)Cs isotopologues produced in a heat pipe oven. Overall 8730 rovibronic term values of A(1)Σ(+) and b(3)Π states were determined with an uncertainty of 0.01 cm(-1) in the energy range [9012, 14087] cm(-1), covering rotational quantum numbers J ∈ [6, 324]. An energy-ba…
