The formation pathway of Li4SiO4 involves Li2SiO3 as an intermediate. Carbonation of Li4SiO4 under dynamical conditions retards the double shell formation, improving CO2 capture capacity.

We show the synthesis of three new dysprosium(iii)-carbamato complexes and describe their structures and magnetic properties through X-ray diffraction and SQUID measurements.

Spotty diffraction rings arise when the size distribution of crystallites illuminated by the incident beam includes crystallites that are large compared with the size of the beam. In this article, several statistical measures are used in conjunction to quantify spottiness and relate it to a crystallite size distribution: the number of peaks, the normalized root mean square intensity variation and the fractal dimension. These are demonstrated by way of example using synchrotron X-ray diffraction patterns collected duringin situcorrosion of mild steel in carbon dioxide-saturated aqueous brine.

Presented here is a water-stable MOF material [ In (5- AIPA )2] ⋅ Me 2 NH 2(1; 5-AIPA = 5-Aminoisophthalic acid) built from the connecting of tetrahedral building units [ In ( COO )4]-. The sql net of compound 1 exhibits preferable chemical and thermal stability confirmed by thermal gravimetric analyses (TGA) and powder X-ray diffraction pattern (PXRD) measurements. The activated empty phase of 1a, as a good candidate material for CO 2 capture, shows a CO 2 uptake of 56.6 cm3/g and CH 4/ CO 2 selectivity in excess of 16.4. Remarkably, based on the cation exchange mechanism, 1a has excellent MB affinity and can adsorb MB over MO from water in two hours. The results further support the idea that the ionic MOFs can find more applications in the separation of ionic dyes for the purifying of dye wastewater.

Spontaneous atmospheric CO2 capture as carbonate anion occurred in the synthesis of a trinuclear Cd(II) complex with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine ligand. In reaction two types of compounds were obtained and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction on a single crystal: initially [{Cd(tren)}3(tren)](ClO4)6·2H2O (1) and subsequently [{Cd(tren)}3(tren)][{Cd(tren)}3(µ3-ηCO3)](ClO4)10 (2). The carbonate anion replaces partially the bridging tren molecule and coordinates in a µ3 fashion. The luminescent properties of the compounds were investigated.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

<p>The local structure and geometry of catalytic interfaces can influence the selectivity of chemical reactions. Here, using a pre-strained polymer, we uniaxially compress a thin gold film to form a nano-folded catalyst. We observe two kinds of folds and can tune the ratio of loose to tight folds by varying the extent of pre-strain in the polymer. We characterize the nano-folded catalysts using x-ray diffraction, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy. We observe grain reorientation and coarsening in the nano-folded gold catalysts. Electroreduction of carbon dioxide with these nano-folded catalysts reveals an enhancement of Faradaic efficiency for carbon monoxide formation by a factor of about four. This result suggests that electrolyte mass transport limitations and an increase of the local pH in the tight folds of the catalyst outweigh the effects of alterations in grain characteristics. Together, our studies demonstrate that nano-folded geometries can significantly alter grain characteristics, mass transport, and catalytic selectivity. </p>
