We report the synthesis and characterization of iptycene–naphthazarin dyes by using a sequential Diels–Alder approach. The tautomerization of naphthazarin was used as the key step in the synthesis, with structures confirmed by single-crystal X-ray and NMR analysis. The systematic trends in electronic properties were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy. BF2 complexes of the dyes were prepared by reaction with BF3·OEt2 in CH2Cl2.

Fullerene encapsulation has been comprehensively studied by NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Exohedral functionalization of encapsulated C60 via threefold Prato reaction revealed high selectivity for the symmetry-matched all-trans-3 addition pattern.</p></div></div></div>

Three new copper(II) complexes, [Cu(LH)2]Br2 (1), [Cu(LH)2]NCS2 (2), and [Cu(LH)2](NO3)2 (3), where LH is the zwitterionic form of 2-bromo-6-((2-(isopropylamino)ethylimino)methyl)phenol (HL), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The structures of the complexes were further confirmed by single crystal X-ray structure determination. All compounds are mononuclear copper(II) complexes. The Cu atoms in the complexes are coordinated by two imino N and two phenolate O atoms from two LH ligands, forming square planar coordination. The compounds were assayed for their antimicrobial activities.

AbstractTo investigate the resistance of actinide host phases to accelerated radiation damage, which simulates radiation induced effects of long term storage, the following samples doped with plutonium-238 (from 2 to 10 wt. %) have been repeatedly studied using XRD and other methods: cubic zirconia, Zr0.79Gd0.14Pu0.07O1.99; monazite, (La,Pu)PO4; ceramic based on Pu-phosphate of monazite structure, PuPO4; ceramic based on zircon, (Zr,Pu)SiO4, and minor phase tetragonal zirconia, (Zr,Pu)O2; single crystal zircon, (Zr,Pu)SiO4; single crystal monazite, (Eu,Pu)PO4; ceramic based on Ti-pyrochlore, (Ca,Gd,Hf,Pu,U)2Ti2O7. No change of phase composition, matrix swelling, or cracking in cubic zirconia were observed after cumulative dose 2.77×1025 alpha decay/m3. The La-monazite remained crystalline at cumulative dose 1.19×1025 alpha decay/m3, although Pu-phosphate of monazite structure became nearly amorphous at relatively low dose 4.2×1024 alpha decay/m3. Zircon has lost crystalline structures under self-irradiation at dose (1.3-1.5)×1025 alpha decay/m3, however, amorphous zircon characterized with high chemical durability. The Ti-pyrochlore after cumulative dose (1.1-1.3)×1025 alpha decay/m3 became amorphous and lost chemical durability. Radiation damage caused crack formation in zircon single crystals but not in the matrix of polycrystalline zircon. Essential swelling and crack formation as a result of radiation damage were observed in ceramics based on Ti-pyrochlore and Pu-phosphate of monazite structure, but not so far in La-monazite doped with 238Pu.

ABSTRACTYttrium iron garnet (YIG) single crystal fibers of nominal composition Y3Fe5O12 were grown by the laser heated pedestal growth (LHPG) technique, a miniaturized floated-zone process. YIG which melts incongruently, was grown at a temperature below the peritectic decomposition temperature under self-adjusting conditions even though it has very narrow solidification region according to the Y2O3-Fe2O3 phase diagram. YIG fibers in diameter ranges from 100 to 750 μm were grown at various growth rates and conditions, and analyzed by x-ray diffraction, electron microprobe, and IR-VIS spectroscopy. Infrared transparent YIG fibers were grown at rates below 12 mm/h in air. At these growth rates, yttrium orthoferrite and iron-oxide inclusions within the YIG fiber, which act as IR scattering centers, were significantly reduced. The transparency of the fibers was more dependent on the growth rate than the stability of the molten zone. Surface ridges containing an Fe-rich composition were observed at all growth rates. These were associated with molten zone instability.
