Selected AbstractsAnion-Dependent Facile Route to Magnetic Dinuclear and Dodecanuclear Cobalt ClustersEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 15 2010Ling-Ling Zheng Abstract An unprecedented dodecanuclear CoIII3CoII9 and a dinuclear CoII2 cluster were synthesized facilely from reactions of different coblt(II) salts with the ligand (1H -benzimidazol-2-yl)methanol. The cobalt ions in the Co12 supercluster are linked into a disclike structures through ,3 -OL, ,-OL, ,3 -O2,, ,1,1 -N3, and ,1,1,1 -N3, bridges. Magnetic studies reveal that strong ferromagnetic coupling through double end-on (EO) azido bridges exists in 1, while both ferromagnetic coupling through the ,3 -OL and ,-OL pathways and antiferromagnetc coupling through the ,1,1,1 -N3, pathway exist in 2, which results in a ferrimagnetic behaviour of 2.

[source] Hydrogenation of Phenol in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Catalyzed by Palladium Supported on Al-MCM-41: A Facile Route for One-Pot Cyclohexanone FormationADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 11-12 2009M. Chatterjee Abstract The hydrogenation of phenol has been carried out in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) under very mild reaction conditions at the temperature of 50,°C over palladium supported Al-MCM-41 (metal loading ,1%). This palladium catalyst is shown to be highly active and promotes the selective formation of cyclohexanone (,98%), an industrially important compound, in a "one-pot" way. The effects of different variables like carbon dioxide and hydrogen pressure, reaction time and also silica/alumina ratio of the MCM-41 support along with palladium dispersion are presented and discussed. The pressure effect of carbon dioxide is significantly prominent in terms of conversion and cyclohexanone selectivity. Moreover, the silica/alumina ratio was also found to be an important parameter to enhance the effectiveness of the catalyst as it exhibits a remarkable increase in phenol conversion from 20.6% to 98.4% as the support changes from only silica MCM-41 to Al-MCM-41. A plausible mechanism for the hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone over the palladium catalyst has been proposed. The proposition is validated by transition state calculations using density functional theory (DFT), which reveal that cyclohexanone is a favorable product and stabilized by <19,kcal,mol,1 over cyclohexanol in scCO2 medium. Under similar reaction conditions, phenol hydrogenation was also carried out with rhodium, supported on Al-MCM-41. In contrast to the palladium catalyst, a mixture of cyclohexanone (57.8%) and cyclohexanol (42.2%) was formed. Detailed characterization by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the presence of metal nanoparticles (palladium and rhodium) between 10,20,nm. Both the catalysts exhibit strikingly different product distributions in solventless conditions compared to scCO2. This method can also be successfully applied to the other hydroxylated aromatic compounds.

[source] A Facile Route to Synthesize the Ti5NbO14 Nanosheets by Mechanical Cleavage ProcessJOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 2 2010Na Zhang Layered and rod-like K3Ti5NbO14 was synthesized via the solid-state chemistry, and it was exfoliated into nanosheets through a novel mechanical cleavage technology. X-ray diffraction was utilized to determine the phase changes of all the specimen during the total process, and the microstructure of the samples was analyzed by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The formation mechanism was also discussed in detail, the results indicated that the compression and shearing should play a main function in the crack and the cleavage of the aggregated layered compound. UV,vis absorption spectroscopy was used to monitor the consecutive buildup of the (PEI/Ti5NbO14)n film. The resulting quasi-linear increase at the top absorbance as a function of the sequential assembly number for the multilayer film indicated that the nanosheet had deposited uniformly in each dipping cycle. The photocatalytic activity of K3Ti5NbO14 -related products was examined. Compared with original layered compound, nanosheet precipitate had good property under irradiation of ultraviolet light.

The crystals have bone-like, spindle-like and wheatear-like morphologies assembled from nanoparticles, nanofibers and have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The results showed that experimental parameters had great influences on the shape evolution of products. The adjustment of these parameters such as room temperature stirring time, reaction temperature and reaction time of hydrothermal reaction, can lead to obvious morphology changes of products, and the growth mechanism has been proposed. Room-temperature photoluminescence indicated that the as-prepared BaMoO4 nanocrystals had a strong blue emission peak at 481.5 nm. This facile route could be employed to synthesize more promising nanomaterials with interesting self-assembly structures. (© 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) [source] Graphene Solution-Gated Field-Effect Transistor Array for Sensing ApplicationsADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 18 2010Markus Dankerl Abstract Graphene, with its unique combination of physical and electronic properties, holds great promise for biosensor and bioelectronic applications. In this respect, the development of graphene solution-gated field-effect transistor (SGFET) arrays capable of operation in aqueous environments will establish the real potential of graphene in this rapidly emerging field. Here, we report on a facile route for the scalable fabrication of such graphene transistor arrays and provide a comprehensive characterization of their operation in aqueous electrolytes. An on-chip structure for Hall-effect measurements allows the direct determination of charge carrier concentrations and mobilities under electrolyte gate control. The effect of the solution-gate potential on the electronic properties of graphene is explained using a model that considers the microscopic structure of water at the graphene/electrolyte interface. The graphene SGFETs exhibit a high transconductance and correspondingly high sensitivity, together with an effective gate noise as low as tens of ,V. Our study demonstrates that graphene SGFETs, with their facile technology, high transconductance, and low noise promise to far outperform state-of-the-art Si-based devices for biosensor and bioelectronic applications. [source] Printable Ferroelectric PVDF/PMMA Blend Films with Ultralow Roughness for Low Voltage Non-Volatile Polymer MemoryADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 17 2009Seok Ju Kang Abstract Here, a facile route to fabricate thin ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) blend films with very low surface roughness based on spin-coating and subsequent melt-quenching is described. Amorphous PMMA in a blend film effectively retards the rapid crystallization of PVDF upon quenching, giving rise to a thin and flat ferroelectric film with nanometer scale , -type PVDF crystals. The still, flat interfaces of the blend film with metal electrode and/or an organic semi-conducting channel layer enable fabrication of a highly reliable ferroelectric capacitor and transistor memory unit operating at voltages as low as 15,V. For instance, with a TIPS-pentacene single crystal as an active semi-conducting layer, a flexible ferroelectric field effect transistor shows a clockwise I,V hysteresis with a drain current bistability of 103 and data retention time of more than 15,h at ±15,V gate voltage. Furthermore, the robust interfacial homogeneity of the ferroelectric film is highly beneficial for transfer printing in which arrays of metal/ferroelectric/metal micro-capacitors are developed over a large area with well defined edge sharpness.
