The synthesis and characterization of 4′-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridine (2) (IUPAC PIN 24-(4-methoxyphenyl)-12,22:26,32-terpyridine) are described, and its coordination behaviour with cobalt(II) thiocyanate has been investigated. In a series of experiments, crystals were grown at room temperature by layering a MeOH solution of Co(NCS)2 over a CHCl3 solution of 2 using 1:1, 1:2 or 2:1 molar ratios of metal salt-to-ligand. Crystals harvested within 2–3 weeks proved to be the 1D-coordination polymer [Co(2)(NCS)2(MeOH)2]n and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) confirmed that the crystals selected for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were representative of the bulk samples. Longer crystallization times with a Co(NCS)2 to 2 molar ratio of 1:1 yielded crystals of [Co(2)(NCS)2(MeOH)2]n (1D-chain) and the pseudopolymorphs [{Co(2)2(NCS)2}·3MeOH]n and [{Co(2)2(NCS)2}·2.2CHCl3]n ((4,4)-nets), each type of crystal originating from a different zone in the crystallization tube. PXRD for this last experiment confirmed that the dominant product in the bulk sample was the 1D-coordination polymer.

A set of novel photocatalysts, i.e., copper-zirconia imidazolate (CuZrIm) frameworks, were synthesized using different zirconia molar ratios (i.e., 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mmol). The photoreduction process of CO2 to methanol in a continuous-flow stirred photoreactor at pressure and temperature of 1 atm and 25 °C, respectively, was studied. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized catalysts were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The highest methanol activity of 818.59 µmol/L.g was recorded when the CuZrIm1 catalyst with Cu/Zr/Im/NH4OH molar ratio of 2:1:4:2 (mmol/mmol/mmol/M) was employed. The enhanced yield is attributed to the presence of Cu2+ oxidation state and the uniformly dispersed active metals. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the reaction parameters. The predicted results agreed well with the experimental ones with the correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.99. The optimization results showed that the highest methanol activity of 1054 µmol/L.g was recorded when the optimum parameters were employed, i.e., stirring rate (540 rpm), intensity of light (275 W/m2) and photocatalyst loading (1.3 g/L). The redox potential value for the CuZrIm1 shows that the reduction potential is −1.70 V and the oxidation potential is +1.28 V for the photoreduction of CO2 to methanol. The current work has established the potential utilization of the imidazolate framework as catalyst support for the photoreduction of CO2 to methanol.

Reaction of a methanolic copper(II) acetate solution with tetrazolyl enol derivatives 2a or 2b leads to the formation of the corresponding lD-coordination polymer 1∞[CuL2] 3a and pseudo 1D-coordination polymer [CuL2]2 3b, respectively. On the contrary, reaction of 2c with methanolic copper(II) acetate solution yields OH-bridged 1D-coordination polymer 1∞[CuL2(MeOH)2 3c. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the supramolecular species 3 established unequivocally the structures of the stairlike coordination compounds. Reaction of a methanolic copper(II) acetate solution with amidotetrazole derivative 6 leads to the formation of the lD-coordination polymer 1∞ [CuL2] 7. The structure of 7 has been established by X-ray structure analysis

AbstractNanocrystalline ZnO-TiO2 (with molar ratios 9:1, 7:3, 1:1, 3:7 and 1:9) were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. Synthesized materials were examined with the help of X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope. Liquid petroleum gas sensing characteristics of the ZnO-TiO2 films were investigated at different operating temperatures. The ZnO-TiO2 thick film (with 1:1 molar ratio) exhibited good response toward liquid petroleum gas as compared to other investigated compositions. Further, liquid petroleum gas sensing characteristics of CuO modified ZnO-TiO2 thick films were investigated. 0.2 M CuO modified ZnO-TiO2 thick film exhibited excellent liquid petroleum gas sensing characteristics such as higher response (~ 1637.49 at 185 °C) with quick response time (~30 s), low recovery time (~70 s), excellent repeatability and stability at low operating temperature.

Abstract We describe herein the use of octadecyltrimethylammonium-templated aluminosilicate (designated as LS) as a thickener to induce gelation. LS samples with different aluminum/silicon molar ratios (Al/Si = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) were synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, 27Al MAS NMR spectra, elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The aluminum/silicon molar ratio was shown to be an important factor affecting the rheological properties of LS gels. With increasing Al/Si molar ratio, the viscoelasticity and structural strength of LS gel were enhanced, the dropping point increased, and the amount of oil separation decreased. LS(0.20) gel exhibited superior relative elastic character. The strength of the LS(0.20) gel was also enhanced with increasing LS(0.20) content. In SRV tests, LS(0.20) gel with different contents showed good performance in terms of load-bearing ability and anti-wear property, indicating that LS was strongly adhered on the friction surface, and thereby promoted lubrication. Owing to simple preparation, the promising rheological and tribological properties, LS gel hold great potential application in lubricating grease.

Arc-melting was employed to synthesize BaTi2O5 powders by fast melting the reagent mixture of BaCO3 and TiO2 with different molar ratios (0.90~1.05:2). The influence of molar ratios of BaCO3 to TiO2 on the phase of the powders derived from arc-melting was investigated by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra. When the molar ratio was larger than 0.95:2, a little amount of Ba-rich compound Ba2TiO4 was produced besides the main phase of BaTi2O5. Ti-rich compound Ba6Ti17O40, BaTi2O9 and TiO2 began to appear at the ratios ranging from 0.90:2 to 0.95:2. Single-phased BaTi2O5 powders were obtained by arc-melting the reagent mixture with the molar ratio of 0.95:2.

Abstract Gold Clustering, Dimethylsulfoximine Polyaurated complexes of the dimethylsulfoximide anion [Me2S(O)N]- have been prepared by reacting N-trimethylsilyl-dimethylsulfoximide with [(Ph3P)Au]BF4 in various molar ratios. With one or two equivalents of the gold(I) reagent only the dinuclear complex is obtained in high yield: {[(Ph3P)Au]2NS(O)Me2}+ BF4- . With three or four equivalents only the trinuclear complex is produced: {[(Ph3P)Au]3NS(O)Me2}2+ 2 BF4- . No mono- or tetra-auration was observed, respectively. The composition of the compounds has been confirmed by analytical and spectroscopic data, and the crystal structure of the dinuclear compound has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction of the dichloromethane solvate. The two gold atoms are found to be coordinated to the nitrogen atom with a small Au-N-Au angle of only 92.3(3)° and a short Au-Au distance of 2.9900(5) Å. The nitrogen atom is in a distorted trigonal pyramidal configuration which allows an intramolecular SO-Au contact. For the trinuclear complex a structure with a tetracoordinate nitrogen atom [SNAU3] is proposed which is analogous to the corresponding complexes of phosphinimines R3P=NH. With the ditertiary phosphine Ph2PCH2Ch2PPh2 (dppe) a cyclic dinuclear complex (dppe)Au2[NS(0 )Me2]BF4 can be synthesized starting from (dppe)Au2Cl2. The reaction of the phosphine-rich precursor [(Ph3P)2Au]BF4 with Me3SiNS(0 )Me2 in the molar ratio 2:1 affords a binuclear complex {[(Ph3P)2Au]2NS(0 )Me2}BF4 of an as yet unknown structure

New crystalline coordination networks based on Ag(i) and N-bridging ligands — pyrazine (pyz), 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy), and 2,3-bis-(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (bppz) — incorporating carborane monoanions (CB11H12)− or [Co(C2B9H11)2]− were isolated and characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction, microanalysis, and infrared spectroscopy. All the complexes with the bpy and bppz ligands reveal 1D coordination infinite chains involving the Ag(i) and the ligands, and layered extended structures with rows of carborane anions between the layers of chains. Interestingly, two polymorphs of the complex [Ag(bpy)(CH3CN)][Co(C2B9H11)2] were observed. The complex [Ag(pyz)(CH3CN)2][Co(C2B9H11)2] shows a 1D coordination polymer, while the pyz complex with the smaller carborane anion {[Ag(pyz)](CB11H12)} exhibits a 3D coordination network structure with four Ag···H−B interactions between the silver centre and carborane anions.

Cu-Ag alloy nanoparticles were synthesized by a liquid phase reduction method. Using sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate (SFS) as reducing agents, copper-silver bimetallic nanoleaflets with high content of Cu were prepared. The obtained Cu-Ag bimetallic nanocrystal were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Different molar ratio of Cu-Ag bimetallic nanomaterials could produce different morphologies. The surfactant β-CD plays a crucial role on the structure of the products. The different molar ratios of Cu-Ag were also investigated. The electrochemical activity was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in a 0.5M Na2SO4 electrolyte.
