Heterometallic Titanium-Organic Frameworks as Dual Metal Catalysts for Synergistic Non-Buffered Hydrolysis of Nerve Agent Simulants
2020
Heterometallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can offer important advantages over their homometallic counterparts to enable targeted modification of their adsorption, structural response, electronic structure, or chemical reactivity. However, controlling metal distribution in these solids still remains a challenge. The family of mesoporous titanium-organic frameworks, MUV-101(M), displays heterometallic TiM2 nodes assembled from direct reaction of Ti(IV) and M(II) salts. We use the degradation of nerve agent simulants to demonstrate that only TiFe2 nodes are capable of catalytic degradation in non-buffered conditions. By using an integrative experimental-computational approach, we rational…
Tensor tomography in periodic slabs
2018
Abstract The X-ray transform on the periodic slab [ 0 , 1 ] × T n , n ≥ 0 , has a non-trivial kernel due to the symmetry of the manifold and presence of trapped geodesics. For tensor fields gauge freedom increases the kernel further, and the X-ray transform is not solenoidally injective unless n = 0 . We characterize the kernel of the geodesic X-ray transform for L 2 -regular m -tensors for any m ≥ 0 . The characterization extends to more general manifolds, twisted slabs, including the Mobius strip as the simplest example.
Postoperative Repositioning of Inverted Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty Grafts
2019
Item does not contain fulltext PURPOSE: To present 4 cases of postoperative repositioning of inverted grafts after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). METHODS: Retrospective case reports of 4 patients presenting with subtotal to total graft detachment after DMEK, most probably owing to upside-down graft positioning. Graft repositioning was performed 1 to 14 days after initial DMEK surgery. In 3 cases (cases 1, 3, and 4), repositioning was performed without removing the graft from the anterior chamber (AC), whereas for case 2, the graft had to be removed from the AC to attain correct graft orientation. RESULTS: In all 4 cases, the initially upside-down DMEK grafts could be suc…
Platinum and rhodium in potato samples by using voltammetric techniques
2019
Potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum having high nutritional values. This paper is the first analytical approach to quantify Pt and Rh in vegetal food. In this study a total of 38 different potato samples produced in Europe and one in Australia were investigated. Determinations of Pt and Rh in potato samples were carried out by Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV/a) for platinum and by Adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) for Rh using standard addition procedure. Because no certified reference potatoes containing platinum and rhodium are available, we used addition standard method. The quantification limits for Pt and Rh are 0.007 and 0.0008 &mu
The occurrence of Graphosoma lineatum (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in Poland
2016
Graphosoma lineatum (Linnaeus, 1758) is a characteristic member of the family Pentatomidae. The species is commonly defined as a rare southern element which has colonized the Polish territory in recent years. The data presented in this study clearly indicates that the species is a regular member of Polish fauna, recorded throughout the country since the beginning of the nineteenth century, including stations located in the northern part of the country.
The equality case in a Poincaré–Wirtinger type inequality
2016
It is known that, for any convex planar set W, the first non-trivial Neumann eigenvalue μ1 (Ω) of the Hermite operator is greater than or equal to 1. Under the additional assumption that Ω is contained in a strip, we show that β1 (Ω) = 1 if and only if Ω is any strip. The study of the equality case requires, among other things, an asymptotic analysis of the eigenvalues of the Hermite operator in thin domains.
Sediment delivery processes at basin scale
1995
Abstract Since eroded sediments are produced from different sources distributed throughout a basin, sediment delivery processes at basin scale have to be modelled by a spatially distributed approach. In this paper a new theoretically based relationship is proposed for evaluating the sediment delivery ratio, SDRi, of each morphological unit, i, into which a basin is divided. Then, using the sediment balance equation written for the basin outlet, a relationship between the basin sediment delivery ratio, SDRW and the SDRi is deduced. This relationship is shown to be independent of the soil erosion model used. Finally, a morphological criterion for estimating a coefficient, β, is proposed.
Two-Dimensional Assembling of (2,2‘-Bipyrimidine)bis(oxalato)chromate(III) Units through Alkaline Cations
1999
Self-assembling of the tris-chelated [Cr(bpm)(ox)2]- complex with Na+ in aqueous solution leads to the remarkable bimetallic honeycomb layered compound of formula [NaICrIII(bpm)(ox)2]·5H2O (2) (bpm...
Hexaphosphine: A Multifaceted Ligand for Transition Metal Coordination
2011
We report the synthesis and characterization of the first ferrocenyl polyphosphane incorporating six phosphorus donor atoms. In this unique ligand, the cyclopentadienyl rings of the ferrocenyl backbone adopt a staggered position, which leads to a piano-stool arrangement for each of the two sets of three P atoms facing the same direction. As a consequence of its remarkable flexibility, this hexaphosphane displays versatile coordination behaviour towards metals, leading to unexpected structures of palladium and platinum bimetallic complexes. Analogous molybdenum and rhodium complexes are more classical.
Inter-string arrays of bimetallic assemblies with alternative Cu2+-Cl-Cu2+ and Cu-NC-M (M = Co3+, Fe+3, Cr+3) bridges: syntheses, crystal structure, …
2004
Three bimetallic assemblies with alternate homometallic bridges through chloride ligands and heterometallic bridges through cyanide ligands of formula [(323)(2)Cu(2)(Cl)M(CN)(6)](n).2n(H(2)O), where 323 = N,N'-bis(3-aminopropyl)ethylenediamine and M = Co(3+) for 1, Fe(3+) for 2, and Cr(3+) for 3, were synthesized. They have been characterized structurally, analytically, spectroscopically, and magnetically. All three assemblies crystallize in the monoclinic system in the same space group P2(1)/n, with a = 11.642(2) A, b = 10.285(3) A, c = 13.622(2) A, beta = 95.69(3) degrees, V = 1623.1(6) A(3), and Z = 4 for 1; a = 11.681(4) A, b = 10.315(3) A, c = 13.567(5) A, beta = 95.62(3) degrees, V = …
