The most probable geometry of the complexes is proposed.

An Atropisomeric Chiral 2,2'-Bipyridyl-3,3'-Dicarboxylic Acid And Corresponding Platinum(Ii) Complex, Abdurrahman Şengül

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

2,2'-Bipyridyl-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid (H_2BDC) spontaneously resolves on crystallization from water, giving monohydrated crystals of the space group P2_12_12_1. In any individual crystal, all the atropisomeric-skewed molecules are of one hand; however, on dissolution in water, optical activity is lost. Strong hydrogen bonding leads to a helical structure, via O--H ... N links, and 3 further strong bonds between water and carboxylate groups produce a framework structure. The pK_a values measured for H_2BDC (3.18 \pm 0.04 and 4.59 \pm 0.02 at 20 \pm 1 °C, in dilute aqueous solution) agree with the zwitterionic form. The reaction of H_2BDC with potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) in …

Erbium isotopes (Z = 64) lie in the transitional region that occurs at the middle of the range of deformed nuclei. \gamma -ray E2/M1 mixing ratios for selected transitions in ^{166-168}Er are calculated in the proton-neutron interacting boson approximation(IBA-2). The results obtained for ^{166 -168}Er are reasonably in good agreement with the previous experimental and teoretical values.

Structural Characterization And Magnetization Of Mg_{0.5}Cu_{0.5}Y_{X}Fe_{2-X}O_4 Ferrites, Mansour Al-Haj

Turkish Journal of Physics

Mg_{0.5}Cu_{0.5}Y_xFe_{2-x}O_4 ferrites were prepared by the solid state reaction method and were characterized by X-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. A single spinel phase was obtained in the range 0 \le x \le 0.08. The lattice parameter was found to increase with the increase of x except at x = 0.08, which may indicate a distortion in the spinel lattice. The saturation magnetization was found to decrease with increasing x due to replacement of the magnetic Fe^{3+} ions by the nonmagnetic Y^{3+} ions.

On Electron Mobility In A Rectangular Quantum Wire Due To Alloy Disorder, Guseyn Behbudoglu Ibragimov

Turkish Journal of Physics

Analytic expressions are derived to describe the electron mobility and relaxation rate in the rectangular quantum wire experiencing scattering due to alloy disorder. The dependence of electron mobility on the temperature and transverse dimension is numerically evaluated and it is found that the mobility increases continuously with temperature, because there is no new intersubband scattering with increase in temperature. It is shown that the alternating increase/decrease in the mobility---depending on the transverse dimension of the quantum wire---occurs due to intersubband scattering. It is found that the mobility in a quantum wire is significantly greater than mobility in a quantum well.

Bismuth Compounds In Organic Synthesis. Bismuth Nitrate Catalyzed Chemoselective Synthesis Of Acylals From Aromatic Aldehydes, Ram Mohan, David Aggen, Joshua Arnold, Patrick Hayes, Nathaniel Smoter

Scholarship

Aromatic aldehydes are smoothly converted into the corresponding acylals in good yields in the presence of 3–10 mol% Bi(NO3)3•5H2O. Ketones are not affected under the reaction conditions. The relatively non-toxic nature of the catalyst, its ease of handling, easy availability and low cost make this procedure especially attractive for large-scale synthesis.

Environment-Friendly Organic Synthesis Using Bismuth Compounds. Bismuth Triflate Catalyzed Synthesis Of Substituted 3,4-Dihydro-2h-L-Benzopyrans, Ram Mohan, Mai Nguyen, Joshua Arnold, Katherine Peterson

Scholarship

A highly catalytic method for the synthesis of dihydrobenzopyrans from salicylaldehydes has been developed. An extension of this method to the synthesis of a pyrano [2,3,b]benzopyran has also been achieved. Bi(OTf)3.xH2O (1< x < 4) (0.1mol%) smoothly catalyzes the condensation of substituted salicylaldehydes with 2,2-dimethoxypropane to give the corresponding substituted 3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyrans as a mixture of diastereomers (9:1) in moderate yields. The relative configuration of the methoxy groups in the two diastereomers was established by NOE experiments. The advantages of this method include the use of an easy to handle, inexpensive and relatively non-toxic catalyst.
