Single crystals of pure and Lanthanum doped L-Alanine Tartrate were grown by slow evaporation method. The cell parameters were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction method. To improve the physical properties of the LAT crystal, Lanthanum dopant was added by 2 mol%. ICP studies confirm the presence of Lanthanum in the grown LAT crystal. Transparency range of the crystal was determined using UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. The functional groups of pure and doped LAT crystals were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Using Vickers microhardness tester, mechanical strength of the material was found. Dielectric studies of pure and doped LAT single crystals were carried out. The doped LAT crystal is found to have efficiency higher than that of pure LAT crystal.

AbstractThe potassium oxidofluoridostannate(IV) fluoride K5Sn2OF11 was synthesized via a solid-state route at T = 300°C in arc-weldeded copper ampoules. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system in the acentric space group Ama2 (no. 40) with a unit cell volume of V = 2.5727(4) nm3. The cell parameters are a = 1758.3(2), b = 2452.3(2) and c = 596.7(1) pm. As a main structural motif, K5Sn2OF11 exhibits two different kinds of dinuclear [Sn2OF11]5‒ units, which are embedded into a matrix consisting of potassium cations and fluoride anions. The substance was characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, as well as by FT-IR spectroscopy.

AbstractMercury selenide nanostructures were synthesized from the reaction of N, N′-bis(salicylidene)propane-1,3-diamine mercury complex, (Hg(Salpn)) as a novel precursor, via sonochemical method. The effect of different surfactant on the morphology and particle size of the products was investigated. Products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

<p>A series of nanocomposites consist of organic polyimide and organo-modified clay content varying from 0 to 5 wt%, were successfully prepared by in situ polymerization. Polyimide used as a matrix of nanocomposite was prepared through the reaction of 1,4-bis [4-aminophenoxy] butane (APB) and 3،3΄،4،4΄-benzophenone tetra carboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). The resulting nanocomposite films were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).</p>

Nowadays, the hummers method for preparation of graphene oxide (GO) was improved. The grapheme oxide @ Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposites were synthesized by co-precipitation method. After analysing the morphology and structure of obtained nanocomposites by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, the result was shown as follows. The particle size of Fe3O4 in nanocomposites is 30 nm. Many functional groups are found in grapheme oxide, and such groups could be used to bind with the drug. In the test for magnetic properties, the nanocomposites gathered rapidly in the vicinity of the permanent magnet. The nanocomposites, with high superparamagnetism, can be used in the following applications: drug targeting transports, drug carrier, and diagnosis assistant system.

Abstract In this paper, the highly stable Ag/CdS-WO2 nanocomposite was fabricated by a facile and capping agent-free hydrothermal technique. The fabricated Ag doped CdS-WO2 nanocomposite were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance (DRS) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic performance of synthesized photocatalysts was evaluated for the photodegradation of rhodamine B (Rh B) under visible light irradiation (VLI). The parameters used for the optimization of the photocatalyst were pH, catalyst dose, oxidant dose, and irradiation time. Based on this, a possible reaction mechanism for the enhancement of photocatalytic activity of Ag/CdS-WO2 has been proposed. Hence, we have a tendency to believe it might be a promising material that may be used for the photodegradation of organic pollutants present in wastewater.

AbstractA new centrosymmetric modification of the lead borate (Pb4O)Pb2B6O14 has been obtained as a side phase through a facile hydrothermal reaction from Pb(BO2)2·H2O, H2O, and KOH as starting materials. The compound (Pb4O)Pb2B6O14-II crystallizes in the space group P1̅ (no. 2) with the lattice parameters a=695.9(3), b=778.0(3), c=1408.3(3) pm, α=97.35(1)°, β=100.39(1)°, and γ=103.02(1)°. The structure consists of anti-parallel arranged B6O14 chains and isolated oxygen-centered OPb4 tetrahedra. The compound Pb6B12O21(OH)6 constitutes the major phase of the synthesis, as verified through a Rietveld analysis. The characterization of (Pb4O)Pb2B6O14-II is based on a Rietveld analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, and FT-IR spectroscopy.

Intercalated sericite was prepared by intercalation of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) into activated sericite through ion exchange with the following two steps: the activation of sericite by thermal modification, acid activation and sodium modification; the ion exchange intercalation of CTA+into activated sericite. Effects of reaction time, reaction temperature, CTAB quantity, kinds of medium, and aqueous pH on the intercalation of activated sericite were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results indicated that the CTA+entered sericite interlayers and anchored in the aluminosilicate interlayers through strong electrostatic attraction. The arrangement of CTA+in sericite interlayers was that alkyl chain of CTA+mainly tilted at an angle about 60° (paraffin-type bilayer) and 38° (paraffin-type monolayer) with aluminosilicate layers. The largest interlayer space was enlarged from 0.9 nm to 5.2 nm. The intercalated sericite could be used as an excellent layer silicate to prepare clay-polymer nanocomposites.

A new dinuclear paddle-wheel copper(II) complex with caffeine was synthesized by the solvent-based and mechanochemical methods from copper(II) acetate and caffeine in a 1:1 molar ratio. Mechanochemical synthesis was found to be the fastest and easiest way to prepare the complex. The reaction proceeds with addition of small amounts of methanol or ethanol. The complex was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermoanalytical methods (TG and DSC) and X-ray diffraction methods. The molecular and crystal structure was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The complex molecule consists of a centrosymmetric dinuclear unit, Cu2(-Ac)4(caf)2, with two copper(II) atoms bridged by four acetato groups, and N-coordinated caffeine (caf) molecules in the apical posi-tions.
