The preference for incorporation of molybdenum over tungsten into specific sites of a family of yttrium-arsenotungstates with amino acid ligands prompted exploration of the incorporation of other metals, affording three new vanadium-containing (V/W and V/Mo/W) analogues: K2(GlyH)10[As4(V2W2)W44Y4O160(Gly)8(H2O)12]·11Gly (1), (MBAH)9(L-NleH)3[As4(V2W2)W44Y4O160(L-Nle)8(H2O)12] (2), and (MBAH)9(L-NleH)3[As4(V2W2)Mo2W42Y4O160(L-Nle)8(H2O)12] (3) (Gly=glycine and L-Nle=l-norleucine, MBAH=4-methylbenzylammonium). These hybrid polyoxometalates all possess a tetrametallic oxo-bridged {VIV2WVI2} central core surrounded by an amino acid-ligated cyclic metal-oxo framework. X-Ray photoelectron, UV-visible reflectance, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, together with metal analysis, confirm the incorporation of vanadium into the polyoxometalates, while single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis supports the location of the vanadium atoms in the central core.

Two new P-stabilized boryl radicals [Ph2P(naph)BAr] (Ar = Tip and Ter) have been prepared and characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. These radicals are persistent for several days in solution at room temperature. The high steric congestion at boron does not prevent radical reactivity. Two different types of dimerization equilibrium have been observed. The structures of the dimers have been unambiguously established by X-ray diffraction crystallography.

We report a study of a low T c phase of the bismuth superconductor. A nominally Bi 4 Sr 2.5 Ca 2.5 Cu 4 O x compound was produced by the solid state reaction method with a T c = 80 K . X-ray diffraction studies show that the structure is very similar to the structure of the 4:3:3:4 composition with indications of small amounts of other phases. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy gives a strong Cu 2+ signal at temperatures above T c . We make a comparison between the local symmetry of the Cu 2+ ion complexes in this Bi sample and in the Y–Ba–Cu–O superconductor we had studied before.

MoS2/C3N4 (MS-CN) composite photocatalysts have been synthesized by three different methods, i.e., in situ-photodeposition, sonochemical, and thermal decomposition. The crystal structure, optical properties, chemical composition, microstructure, and electron transfer properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroyscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. During photodeposition, the 2H MoS2 phase was formed upon reduction of [MoS4]2− by photogenerated conduction band electrons and then deposited on the surface of CN. A thin crystalline layer of 2H MoS2 formed an intimate interfacial contact with CN that favors charge separation and enhances the photocatalytic activity. The 2H MS-CN phase showed the highest photocatalytic H2 evolution rate (2342 μmol h−1 g−1, 25 mg catalyst/reaction) under UV-vis light irradiation in the presence of lactic acid as sacrificial reagent and Pt as cocatalyst.
