In the present study, different methods were used to investigate the magnetic and structuralproperties of some food supplements and a kind of Ganoderma lucidum coffee. In order to understand theantioxidant capability of the samples and to detect paramagnetic centres, EPR (Electron ParamagneticResonance) experiment was carried out at room temperature. To examine the structural features andcrystalline property of the samples, XRD (X-ray diffraction) method was used. SEM (Scanning ElectronMicroscopy) technique was preferred to analyse the surface morphology. Also, EDS (Energy DispersiveSpectroscopy) was performed to get information about the elemental composition of the samples. Antioxidantpotential of these samples were examined in detail which is important to support our body functions.

Cyclisation of 5-amino-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbimidoyl cyanide and 3-amino-3-((Z)-2-cyano-2-phenylvinylamino)maleonitrile using either triethyl orthoformate or triethyl orthopropionate in dimethylformamide (DMF):1,4-dioxane (1:1 v/v) mixture under reflux conditions afforded 5-alkyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-7-carbonitriles and (Z)-1-(2-cyano-2-phenylvinyl)-2-alkyl-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitriles, respectively, in moderate to good yields. The structures of these novel compounds were confirmed with 1H/13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and high-resolution mass spectroscopic methods. Two representative compounds from these molecules, namely 5-ethyl-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidine-7-carbonitrile and (Z)-1-(2-cyano-2-phenylvinyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile, were further analysed by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. A comprehensive study of structural features and intermolecular interactions present among these heterocyclic compounds was carried out. The crystal data were further examined by a Hirshfeld surface analysis, which provided qualitative and quantitative information on various intermolecular interactions experienced within the crystal network.

X-ray diffraction method has been carried out to study the structure in the equiatomic InPbGaSnCu high entropy alloy in liquid state. Structure factors and pair correlation functions have been analyzed and used to determine the main structure parameters. Existence of shoulder on right hand side of principal peak and its transformation was the main feature of structure factors. Comparison of structure functions and main parameters obtained from them for multicomponent alloy with ones for constituent elements shown that mixing process is related with formation of structural inhomogeneities in liquid state.

The synthesis and characterization of one coordination polymer and two trinuclear complexes are presented. The coordination polymer [Zn2(µ-O,O’-ACA)2(ACA)2(4-Phpy)2]n (1) has been obtained by the reaction between Zn(OAc)2·2H2O, α-acetamidocinnamic acid (HACA), and 4-phenylpyridine (4-Phpy) using EtOH as solvent. Its recrystallization in CH3CN or EtOH yields two trinuclear complexes, both having pinwheel arrays with formulas [Zn3(µ-ACA)6(4-Phpy)2]·4CH3CN (2·4CH3CN) and [Zn3(µ-ACA)6(EtOH)2]·4EtOH (3·4EtOH), respectively. These trinuclear species, unavoidably lose their solvent co-crystallized molecules at RT yielding the complexes [Zn3(µ-ACA)6(4-Phpy)2] (2) and [Zn3(µ-ACA)6(EtOH)2] (3). In addition, compound 2 has also been obtained reacting Zn(OAc)2·2H2O, HACA, and 4-Phpy in a 1:2:2 ratio using CH3CN as solvent. Compounds 1–3 have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction method for compounds 1, 2·4CH3CN, and 3·4EtOH were obtained and their supramolecular interactions have been studied and discussed, showing 2D supramolecular planes for the trinuclear complexes and a 3D supramolecular network for the coordination polymer. Finally, the supramolecular interactions of 2·4CH3CN and 3·4EtOH have been compared using Hirshfeld surface analysis and electrostatic potential calculations.

Aim and Objective: Formation of the gallbladder stones is a common disease and a major health problem. The present study aimed to identify the structures of the most common types of gallbladder stones using X-ray spectroscopic techniques, which provide information about the process of stone formation. Material and Method: Phase and elemental compositions of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones removed from gallbladders of patients were studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy combined with scanning electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction. Results: The crystal structures of gallstones which coincide with standard patterns were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Plate-like cholesterol crystals with laminar shaped and thin layered structures were clearly observed for gallstone of pure cholesterol by scanning electron microscopy; it also revealed different morphologies from mixed cholesterol stones. Elemental analysis of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the different formation processes of the different types of gallstones. Conclusion: The method of fast and reliable X-ray spectroscopic techniques has numerous advantages over the traditional chemical analysis and other analytical techniques. The results also revealed that the X-ray spectroscopy technique is a promising technique that can aid in understanding the pathogenesis of gallstone disease.

AbstractIdeal sillenite type Bi12FeO20 (BFO) micron sized single crystals have been successfully grown via inexpensive hydrothermal method. The refined single crystal X-ray diffraction data reveals cubic Bi12FeO20 structure with single crystal parameters. Occurrence of rare Fe4+ state is identified via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The lattice parameter (a) and corresponding molar volume (Vm) of Bi12FeO20 have been measured in the temperature range of 30–700 °C by the X-ray diffraction method. The thermal expansion coefficient (α) 3.93 × 10–5 K−1 was calculated from the measured values of the parameters. Electronic structure and density of states are investigated by first principle calculations. Photoelectrochemical measurements on single crystals with bandgap of 2 eV reveal significant photo response. The photoactivity of as grown crystals were further investigated by degrading organic effluents such as Methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) under natural sunlight. BFO showed photodegradation efficiency about 74.23% and 32.10% for degrading MB and CR respectively. Interesting morphology and microstructure of pointed spearhead like BFO crystals provide a new insight in designing and synthesizing multifunctional single crystals.

The interest in lithium-containing ceramics is due to their huge potential as blanket materials for thermonuclear reactors for the accumulation of tritium. However, an important factor in their use is the preservation of the stability of their strength and structural properties when under the influence of external factors that determine the time frame of their operation. This paper presents the results of a study that investigated the influence of the LiTiO2 phase on the increasing resistance to degradation and corrosion of Li2TiO3 ceramic when exposed to aggressive acidic media. Using the X-ray diffraction method, it was found that an increase in the concentration of LiClO4·3H2O during synthesis leads to the formation of a cubic LiTiO2 phase in the structure as a result of thermal sintering of the samples. During corrosion tests, it was found that the presence of the LiTiO2 phase leads to a decrease in the degradation rate in acidic media by 20–70%, depending on the concentration of the phase. At the same time, and in contrast to the samples of Li2TiO3 ceramics, for which the mechanisms of degradation during a long stay in aggressive media are accompanied by large mass losses, for the samples containing the LiTiO2 phase, the main degradation mechanism is pitting corrosion with the formation of pitting inclusions.

TiAlSiN coatings were deposited on WC-Co metal by using a cathodic arc ion deposition method of cylindrical cathode. We used Ti / Al (50 / 50 at.%) arc target and silicon sputter target. The influence of the nitrogen pressure, TiAl cathode arc current, bias voltage, and deposition temperature on the mechanical and the structural properties of the films were investigated. The structural features of the films were investigation in detail using X-ray diffraction. And coatings were characterized by means of FE-SEM, nanoindentation, Scratch tester, Tribology tester, XRD and XPS. The hardness of the film reached 43 GPa at the cathode arc current of 230 A and decreased with a further increase of the arc current. And the adhesion of the film reached 34 N. The results showed that the TiAlSiN coating exhibited an excellent mechanical properties which application for tools and molds.
