ABSTRACTWe are exploring the synthesis and properties of structured vanadium oxides mainly nanotubes and nanorods. Nanotubes initially formed with surfactant templates have been readily exchanged with simple cations without change of the basal-plane structure. These compounds contain d-like vanadium oxide layers with the vanadium in VO6 octahedra. This structure is particularly suitable for redox reactions. In this paper we report on synthesis of vanadium oxide, (NH4)xV2O5-d·nH2O rods using organic polymer as template. This compound has been synthesized by sol-gel reaction and subsequent hydrothermal treatment. TGA, SEM, XRD and FTIR were used to characterize this compound. Thermal analysis of this compound shows that the fibrous morphology is maintained when it is heated in nitrogen and oxygen above 300 °C. However, in both cases the size of the fibers decreases. Performance of this compound as cathode material in secondary electrolyte has been investigated using LiPF6 as electrolyte. A capacity of 140 mAh/g was obtained which remained fairly constant with up to at least 10 cycles. We also investigated electrochemical behavior of thermal products.

The synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and electrochemistry of four Mn(III) and Mn(IV) octaethylcorroles are reported and the potentials of the Mn(III) / Mn(IV) and Mn(IV) / Mn(III) processes examined as a function of the axial ligand. The investigated compounds are represented as ( OEC ) Mn , ( OEC ) MnCl , ( OEC ) Mn ( py ) and ( OEC ) Mn ( C 6 H 5) where OEC is the trianion of octaethylcorrole. The first one-electron oxidation of ( OEC ) Mn III and ( OEC ) Mn III ( py ) in PhCN or pyridine containing 0.1 M TBAP leads to the facile formation of a Mn(IV) species while the first one-electron reduction of ( OEC ) Mn IV Cl and ( OEC ) Mn IV ( C 6 H 5) in the same two solvents leads to the Mn(III) corrole. All other redox reactions occur at the corrole macrocycle to give π-cation radicals or π-anion radicals and there is no evidence for electrogeneration of a compound with a Mn(II) oxidation state as is the case for manganese(III) porphyrins which are all easily reduced to the Mn(II) state in nonaqueous media. The products of each Mn(III)/Mn(IV) redox reaction were characterized by UV-visible and/or ESR spectroscopy and the structures of ( OEC ) MnCl , ( OEC ) Mn ( py ) and ( OEC ) Mn ( C 6 H 5) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Transition metal complexes of the type ML.nH2O [Where M= Co(II),Ni(II),Cu(II) and Zn(II), L= Schiff base of 5 nitro salicylaldehyde and anthranalic acid, n= 0,1 …..] were characterized by using 1H NMR,TGA, Diffused refluctance and ESR spectroscopy. On the basis of above studies Co(II), Ni(II) shows tetrahedral structure, Cu(II) shows binuclear structure and Zn(II) shows square planar structure.

AbstractOne of the peculiar aspects of living systems is the production and conservation of energy. This aspect is provided by specialized organelles, such as the mitochondria and chloroplasts, in developed living organisms. In primordial systems lacking specialized enzymatic complexes the energy supply was probably bound to the generation and maintenance of an asymmetric distribution of charged molecules in compartmentalized systems. On the basis of experimental evidence, we suggest that lipophilic quinones were involved in the generation of this asymmetrical distribution of charges through vectorial redox reactions across lipid membranes.
