A novel polynitrile ligand with different coordination modes: Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of the series [M(tcnoprOH)2(H2O)2] (M=Mn, …

2008

International audience; A novel polynitrile ligand (tcnoprOH− = [(NC)2CC(OCH2CH2CH2OH)C(CN)2]−) with up to five potentially coordinating groups has been synthesized in a one-pot reaction from a cyclic acetal and malononitrile. The combination of this novel ligand with different transition metal ions has led to the synthesis of two different structural types with the same formula but with different coordination modes in the ligand. Mn(II) and Cu(II) lead to a μ2-N,O-coordinating mode in the series of compounds formulated as [M(N,O-tcnoprOH)2(H2O)2] (M = MnII (1) and CuII (2)), whereas Co(II) and, most probably Ni(II), lead to a μ2-N,N′-coordinating mode in [Co(N,N′-tcnoprOH)2(H2O)2] (3).

Adducts of tin(IV) and organotin(IV) derivatives with 2,2′-azopyridine II. Crystal and molecular structure of SnMe2Br2AZP and further mössbauer and p…

1990

Abstract A series of adducts of tin(IV) derivatives with 2,2′-azopyridine, AZP, has been studied by Mossbauer and X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopies and the crystal and molecular structure of SnMe2Br2- AZP has been determined. The linear correlation of the Mossbauer parameter isomer shift with partial atomic charge on tin suggests the occurrence of a single homologous series of isostructural adducts. The correlation of the Mossbauer parameter quadrupole splitting and C-Sn-C bond angle permits their calculation in SnMe2X2AZP adducts (X = Cl, Br). The N1s binding energies, obtained by XPS data, pointed out two slightly different values for both pyridinic and azo-group nitrogens. The crystal…

Mössbauer study of the solid state configuration of triorganotin derivatives with intramolecular coordination

1980

Triorganotin bromides with intramolecular nitrogen-to-tin coordination (I-VIII, Fig. 1) have been structurally investigated by Mossbauer and infrared spectroscopy. Mossbauer-Zeeman spectra have been measured for I and VIII in order to obtain the sign of the nuclear quadrupole splitting ΔE and the value of the asymmetry parameter η. Point-charge model values of ΔE and η have been calculated for environments of tin atoms in I-VIII which are plausible in view of the results of previous investigations. From trends of experimental ΔE in the series, and from the agreement between experimental and calculated Mossbauer parameters it is concluded that the compounds I-VIII all have trigonal bipyramid…

WENO schemes applied to the quasi-relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell model for laser-plasma interaction

2014

Abstract In this paper we focus on WENO-based methods for the simulation of the 1D Quasi-Relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell (QRVM) model used to describe how a laser wave interacts with and heats a plasma by penetrating into it. We propose several non-oscillatory methods based on either Runge–Kutta (explicit) or Time-Splitting (implicit) time discretizations. We then show preliminary numerical experiments.

DNA cleavage reaction induced by dimeric copper(II) complexes of N-substituted thiazole sulfonamides

2005

A new dinuclear copper(II) complex has been synthesised and structurally characterised: [Cu2(tz-ben)4] (Htz-ben = N-thiazol-2-yl-benzenesulfonamide). Its crystal structure, magnetic properties and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra were studied in detail. In the compound the metal centres are bridged by four non-linear triatomic NCN groups. The coordination geometry of the copper ions in the dinuclear entity is distorted square pyramidal (4+1). Two thiazole N and two sulfonamido N atoms occupy the equatorial positions and one sulfonamido O atom is in the axial position. Magnetic susceptibility data show a strong antiferromagnetic coupling, -2J = 114.1 cm(-1). The EPR spectra of…

Layered double hydroxide nanocomposites based on carbon nanoforms

2020

Abstract Carbon nanoform (CNF)/layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites have been widely studied in recent years thanks to the combination of properties of both LDH and carbon nanomaterials. They exhibit improved or unexpected properties as a consequence of their hierarchical structures. There are three main reported approaches to prepare the nanocomposites: reassembly of nanocarbons and LDHs, direct formation of LDHs on nanocarbon materials, and the direct synthesis of nanocarbons on the LDH phase. The resulting CNF/LDH nanocomposites exhibit improved conductivity, mechanical properties, and redox reactivity; moreover, the hybridization confers hierarchical porosities and better dispe…

Intercalation effect on hyperfine parameters of Fe in FeSe superconductor with Tc = 42 K

2015

57Fe-Mossbauer spectra of superconducting beta-FeSe, the Li/NH3 intercalate product and a subsequent sample of this intercalate treated with moist He gas have been measured in temperature range 4.7 - 290 K. A correlation is established between hyperfine parameters and critical temperature Tc in these phases. A strong increase of isomer shift upon intercalation is explained by a charge transfer from the Li/NH3 intercalate to the FeSe layers resulting in an increase of Tc up to 42 K. A significant decrease of the quadrupole splitting above 240 K has been attributed to diffusive motion of Li+ ions within the interlamellar space.

Predicted very large thermoelectric effect in ferromagnet-superconductor junctions in the presence of a spin-splitting magnetic field.

2014

We show that a huge thermoelectric effect can be observed by contacting a superconductor whose density of states is spin split by a Zeeman field with a ferromagnet with a nonzero polarization. The resulting thermopower exceeds kB/e by a large factor, and the thermoelectric figure of merit ZT can far exceed unity, leading to heat engine efficiencies close to the Carnot limit. We also show that spin-polarized currents can be generated in the superconductor by applying a temperature bias. © 2014 American Physical Society.

Dural splitting reconstruction in retethering after lipomeningocele repair: Technical note

2021

Background: Tethered spinal cord syndrome (TCS) can occur after the surgical repair of lipomeningoceles (LMCs). In these cases, the tethering results from postoperative adhesions between the spinal cord and the overlying repaired dura. A watertight dural closure using the residual dura and/or the surrounding tissues does not always provide enough space for the spinal cord and risks retethering. Here, we report a 16-year-old patient with secondary TCS following lipomeningocele repair who successfully underwent release of the tethered filum terminale utilizing a novel dural splitting reconstructive technique to attain a water-tight closure without the need for a duroplasty. Methods: A 16-yea…
