Crystal structures and thermal behavior of bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuBr4, bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuCl4 and bis[dimethyldi(2-phenylethyl)am…
2006
Abstract Bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuBr4, bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuCl4 and bis[dimethyldi(2-phenylethyl)ammonium]CuBr4 were crystallized from acetonitrile and/or dilute HX solutions. Five different kinds of single crystals were obtained. In the case of bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuX4 (X=Br or Cl), the acetonitrile molecules cocrystallized into the crystal structure when acetonitrile solution was used. As a result, the isomorphic structures of Bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuX4·0.5 CH3CN (X=Br or Cl) in monoclinic space group P21/n were obtained. When a dilute HX solution was used, the bis[dibenzyldimethylammonium]CuX4 (X=Br or Cl) crystallized without solvent molecules. The formed…
Properties of new low melting point quaternary ammonium salts with bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion
2010
Eight new monocationic quaternary ammonium (QA) salts with the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI) anion were prepared by metathesis using our previously reported QA halides as precursors. New salts were characterized both in liquid and solid state using 1 H and 13 C NMR techniques, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis together with X-ray diffraction and thermoanalytical methods. In addition, residual water content, viscosity and conductivity measurements were made for three of the roomtemperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The crystal structures of three compounds were determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. Powder diffraction was used to study the crystallinity of the solid …
Isomerization and redox tuning in ‘Maya yellow’ hybrids from flavonoid dyes plus palygorskite and kaolinite clays
2014
Abstract The composition of the organic fraction of organic–inorganic hybrid materials prepared upon attachment of different natural, ‘historical’ flavonoid yellow dyes (zacatlaxcalli, fustic, marigold and cosmos) to palygorskite and kaolinite clays is described. Upon thermal treatment between 100 and 180 °C, significant isomerization and oxidation reactions occur thus resulting in the formation of polyfunctional materials potentially usable for therapeutic, catalytic and art purposes. The dye attachment to the clays would define a ‘Maya chemistry’ whose complexity could explain the versatile use of such materials in the pre-Columbian cultures.
Negative thermal expansion of quartz glass at low temperatures: An ab initio simulation study
2017
Abstract Using a mixed classical Molecular dynamics (MD)/ab initio simulation scheme combined with a quasi-harmonic approximation, we calculate the linear thermal expansion coefficient αL(T) in vitreous silica glasses. The systems are first cooled down by classical MD simulations. Then they are structurally relaxed by ab initio DFT calculations. The vibrational properties are calculated employing the frozen phonon method, and these results are finally used to calculate the Helmholtz free energy as a function of volume. In agreement with experiments, our simulations predict that αL(T) is negative at low temperatures up to T ≈ 150 K. In this low-temperature regime, the simulation results are …
Cu-exchanged Al-rich SSZ-13 zeolite from organotemplate-free synthesis as NH3-SCR catalyst: Effects of Na+ ions on the activity and hydrothermal stab…
2017
Abstract The relatively low activity at lower temperatures and high cost of SSZ-13 zeolite from organotemplate synthesis are two of major problems of presently commercialized Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts for NH3-SCR reaction. Cu-exchanged Al-rich SSZ-13 catalysts with Si/Al = 4 from organotemplate-free synthesis have been prepared, and show superior NH3-SCR performance with NO conversions above 85% at wide-temperature window ranging from 150 to 650 °C. Cu-Na-SSZ-13 catalysts with varied amount of residual Na+ were prepared by partial ion-exchange of as-prepared Al-rich Na-SSZ-13, and it’s found that Cu-Na-SSZ-13 catalyst with moderate Na+ content can improve both the low-temperature activity and its…

Mesoporous molecular sieves of MCM-48 type were prepared by conventional hydrothermal and novel room temperature syntheses. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies have shown that nonagglomerate...
Properties and performance of a quadrupole mass filter used for resonance ionization mass spectrometry
1998
Abstract The performance of commercial quadrupole mass spectrometers (QMS) with a number of imperfections, as compared to the ideal hyperbolic geometry, has been characterized using the computer simulation program simion 3d version 6.0. The analysis of simulated QMS geometries focuses primarily on modeling of the internal potential, the study of field deviations, and the influence of finite length on performance of the QMS. The computer simulation of ion trajectories in the QMS field yields predictions for optimum working conditions and provides estimates for the resolving power and the maximum isotopic abundance sensitivity. Experimental measurements that confirm these expectations are pre…
On the Formation of Droperidol Solvates: Characterization of Structure and Properties
2014
A solvate screening and characterization of the obtained solvates was performed to rationalize and understand the solvate formation of active pharamaceutical ingredient droperidol. The solvate screening revealed that droperidol can form 11 different solvates. The analysis of the crystal structures and molecular properties revealed that droperidol solvate formation is mainly driven by the inability of droperidol molecules to pack efficiently. The obtained droperidol solvates were characterized by X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. It was found that droperidol forms seven nonstoichiometric isostructural solvates, and the crystal structures were determined for five of these solvates. To b…
Synthesis, structural analysis, and thermal and spectroscopic studies of methylmalonate-containing zinc(II) complexes
2012
The synthesis, crystal structure, thermal analysis and spectroscopic studies of five zinc(II) complexes of formulae [Zn(Memal)(H2O)]n (1) and [Zn2(L)(Memal)2(H2O)2]n (2-5) [H2Memal = methylmalonic acid, and L = 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) (2), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) (3), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpa) (4) and 4,4′-azobispyridine (azpy) (5)] are presented here. The crystal structure of 1 is a three-dimensional arrangement of zinc(II) cations interconnected by methylmalonate groups adopting the μ3-κ2O:κO’:κO”:κO”’ coordination mode to afford a rare (10,3)-d utp-network. The structures of the compounds 2-5 are also three-dimensional and they consist of corrugated square layers of meth…
Thermal behaviour of anhydrous, dihydrate and (2/1) ethanol forms of 1-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-d-mannitol
1998
Abstract The melting points of anhydrous 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol, 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol dihydrate and a new compound, 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol-ethanol (2/1) were determined using differential scanning calorimetry. The melting onset values were 169.2 (3), 104.3 (18) and 158.7 (9), respectively, and the melting peak values were 171.4 (5), 107.9 (15) and 160.1 (6), respectively. 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol dihydrate and 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol-ethanol (2/1) decompose to anhydrous form when heated at slow heating rates. According to TG-FTIR measurements, 1-O-α- d -glucopyranosyl- d -mannitol-ethanol (2/1) lost its ethanol in the…
