The solvothermal reaction of copper(i) cyanide with 18-crown-6 (18C-6) in anhydrous acetonitrile and further diffusion with ether leads to a novel copper cyanide complex Cu(CN)(CH3CN)·0.5(18C-6) with a rare layered structure that exhibits complex violet luminescence originating from different layers.

Gaseous diffusion of diethyl ether into the solvothermal reaction mixture of copper cyanide (CuCN) with 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) in anhydrous acetonitrile leads to a copper cyanide complex Cu(CN)(bipy) (1) with a special helical chain structure. Solid-state luminescence experiments show that complex 1 can emit efficient red luminescence, and its possible emission mechanism was investigated in detail based on theoretical calculations. The results may be helpful for the design and synthesis of more efficient luminescent materials.

Short term toxicity experiments were conducted to study the effect of metal cyanide complex (copper cyanide) on the key metabolic enzymes viz., lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), aspartate amino transferase (AST) alanine amino transferase (ALT), acid phosphatase (AcP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in Catla catla juveniles. A total of 60 fingerlings were (2?0.5 cm; 1.5?0.2 g) exposed to two sublethal concentrations (0.253 and 0.152 mg/L) for a period of 15 days. Copper cyanide had significant (P> 0.05) effect on the key metabolic enzymes, the highest activities were observed in the group exposed to 0.253 mg/L. Results suggest that metal cyanide complex significantly altered enzyme activities of fish in both the sublethal concentrations.

Nanometer period Ru/C multilayers are one of the prime candidates for normal incident reflecting mirrors at wavelengths < 10 nm. Superior performance, which requires uniform layers and smooth interfaces, and high stability of the layered structure under thermal loadings are some of the demands in practical applications. Previous studies however show that the Ru layers in the 2 nm period Ru/C multilayer agglomerate upon moderate annealing, and the layered structure is no longer retained. This agglomeration and crystallization of the Ru layers upon annealing to form almost spherical crystallites is a result of the reduction of surface or interfacial energy from die amorphous high energy non-equilibrium state of the as-prepared sample dirough diffusive arrangements of the atoms. Proposed models for mechanism of thin film agglomeration include one analogous to Rayleigh instability, and grain boundary grooving in polycrystalline films. These models however are not necessarily appropriate to explain for the agglomeration in the sub-nanometer amorphous Ru layers in Ru/C multilayers. The Ru-C phase diagram shows a wide miscible gap, which indicates the preference of phase separation between these two materials and provides an additional driving force for agglomeration. In this paper, we study the evolution of the microstructures and layered structure via in-situ Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and attempt to determine the order of occurence of agglomeration and crystallization in the Ru layers by observing the diffraction patterns.

A striped pattern can be seen by spraying ink on a vertical wall of a snow pit to observe the layered structure of a snow cover. This pattern is caused by variations of snowfall in time, particularly pauses in snowfall, and its structure is related to a kind of fractal. In this paper, we consider snowfall and snow cover from a viewpoint of fractals and show that the layered structure of snow cover is a record of fractals on atmospheric-turbulence phenomena through the time variation of snowfall.
