Lanthanide–saccharide chemistry: synthesis and characterisation of Ce(III)–saccharide complexes
2000
A series of nine Ce(III) complexes has been synthesised with seven different monosaccharides (D-glucose, D-fructose, D-galactose, D-mannose, L-sorbose, D-ribose and D-xylose) and two different disaccharides (D-maltose and L-lactose), and these have been characterised with various analytical, spectral, magnetic and electrochemical techniques. The NMR studies have highlighted some interesting features about the metal-ion-binding pattern of the saccharides. Some additional coordination has been proposed along with the chelating groups in the saccharide molecules, based on the shifts in 13C NMR spectra. On the other hand, solution absorption studies and solid-state magnetic susceptibilities hav…
Recognition of oxovanadium(V) species and its separation from other metal species through selective complexation by some acyclic ligands
1998
Acyclic molecules possessing –OH (phenoxo and alkoxo type) groups and imine or amine moieties have been developed to sense the specific preference for VO3+ species. These molecules also showed a capability to quantitatively separate oxovanadium(V) species from a reaction mixture containing metal species of V, Mo, U, Fe, and Mn ions in solution. A cascade quantitative separation of VO3+ followed by cis–MoO2+2 followed by trans –UO2+2 species is demonstrated from their mixture. Synthesis and structural details of oxo-species of vanadium molybdenum and uranium are also discussed. Factors influencing the complexation of these molecules towards oxo metal species of V, Mo and U are also addressed.
Structural, magnetic and electronic characterization of an isostructural series of dinuclear complexes of 3d metal ions bridged by tpbd
2013
Abstract Dinuclear complexes of the type [{M(H2O)(phen)}2(μ-tpbd)](ClO4)4 with N,N,N′,N′-Tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-benzene-1,4-diamine (tpbd) as bridging ligand and M = Mn(II) (1), Fe(II) (2), Co(II) (3), Ni(II) (4), Cu(II) (5), Zn(II) (6) were synthesized, structurally analyzed and their magnetic as well as their electrochemical properties are determined. A ligand-centered one-electron oxidation leads to radical complexes for which the lifetimes are strongly dependent on the coordinated metal ion as followed from time-resolved UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy. In addition to the six homometallic dinuclear complexes, one analog heterometallic Mn(II)/Ni(II) compound (7) of the same constituti…
EXAFS and XANES Studies of CoxMg1−xO Solid Solutions Using a Laboratory EXAFS Spectrometer
1993
Studies of the local electronic structure and the short-range order in solid solutions CoxMg1−xO with x varying from 0.02 to 1.00 are carried out on the CoK-edge X-ray absorption spectra using a laboratory EXAFS spectrometer. A non-monotonous change of the CoO distance in the first coordination shell with a bent at about x = 0.5 is established. The second coordination shell of cobalt is formed by cobalt and magnesium atoms with a distribution close to a statistical one. [Russian Text Ignored.]
Pulsating in Unison at Optical and X-Ray Energies: Simultaneous High Time Resolution Observations of the Transitional Millisecond Pulsar PSR J1023+00…
2019
PSR J1023+0038 is the first millisecond pulsar discovered to pulsate in the visible band; such a detection took place when the pulsar was surrounded by an accretion disk and also showed X-ray pulsations. We report on the first high time resolution observational campaign of this transitional pulsar in the disk state, using simultaneous observations in the optical (TNG, NOT, TJO), X-ray (XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, NICER), infrared (GTC) and UV (Swift) bands. Optical and X-ray pulsations were detected simultaneously in the X-ray high intensity mode in which the source spends $\sim$ 70% of the time, and both disappeared in the low mode, indicating a common underlying physical mechanism. In addition, o…
Scientific Merits and Analytical Challenges of Tree‐Ring Densitometry
2019
X-ray microdensitometry on annually resolved tree-ring samples has gained an exceptional position in last-millennium paleoclimatology through the maximum latewood density (MXD) parameter, but also increasingly through other density parameters. For 50 years, X-ray based measurement techniques have been the de facto standard. However, studies report offsets in the mean levels for MXD measurements derived from different laboratories, indicating challenges of accuracy and precision. Moreover, reflected visible light-based techniques are becoming increasingly popular, and wood anatomical techniques are emerging as a potentially powerful pathway to extract density information at the highest resol…
GEOV1: LAI, FAPAR essential climate variables and FCOVER global time series capitalizing over existing products. Part 2: Validation and intercomparis…
2013
International audience; This paper describes the scientific validation of the first version of global biophysical products (i.e., leaf area index, fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation and fraction of vegetation cover), namely GEOV1, developed in the framework of the geoland-2/BioPar core mapping service at 1 km spatial resolution and 10-days temporal frequency. The strategy follows the recommendations of the CEOS/WGCV Land Product Validation for LAI global products validation. Several criteria of performance were evaluated, including continuity, spatial and temporal consistency, dynamic range of retrievals, statistical analysis per biome type, precision and accuracy. The…
Determination of one compound in the presence of a single interference. Linear absorbances method
1992
The paper exposes the theoretical and experimental principles of an analytical procedure for the determination of one compound in the presence of another with an overlapping absorption spectrum, without the need to use any standard solutions of the latter. The proposed method was applied to the determination of binary mixtures of known composition in order to assess its accuracy and precision.
Comparison of novel and conventional calibration techniques for the analysis of urine samples using plasma source mass spectrometry combined with a n…
2012
The accuracy and precision of the analytical data from the analysis of liquid samples with high matrix load often suffer from a compromised performance of the sample introduction system. This is especially significant in the case of miniaturized, pneumatic low flow nebulizers. Alternative low-flow sampling devices based on different operating principles are imperative to overcome this drawback. The superior performance of such an alternative liquid sample introduction system for ICP-MS, the drop-on-demand (DOD) aerosol generator based on thermal inkjet technology, was recently outlined by the same group for the analysis of aqueous standard solutions. Current improvements of the system now a…
Accurate estimation of retinal vessel width using bagged decision trees and an extended multiresolution Hermite model.
2012
We present an algorithm estimating the width of retinal vessels in fundus camera images. The algorithm uses a novel parametric surface model of the cross-sectional intensities of vessels, and ensembles of bagged decision trees to estimate the local width from the parameters of the best-fit surface. We report comparative tests with REVIEW, currently the public database of reference for retinal width estimation, containing 16 images with 193 annotated vessel segments and 5066 profile points annotated manually by three independent experts. Comparative tests are reported also with our own set of 378 vessel widths selected sparsely in 38 images from the Tayside Scotland diabetic retinopathy scre…
