Solid-state electrochemistry of metal cyanides

Radiaannulenes: synthesis, electrochemistry, and solid-state structure.

Two new carbon-rich macrocycles (radiaannulenes) have been synthesized, and they possess an unsaturated carbon framework that is intermediate between that of linearly-conjugated dehydrobenzannulenes and cross-conjugated expanded radialenes.

Fundamental Thermodynamic Limitations in Wagner’s Equation in Solid State Electrochemistry

The use of samarium-doped ceria (SDC) electrolytes in SOFCs (solid oxide fuel cells) lowers the open circuit voltage (OCV) below the Nernst voltage (Vth), which is obtained using yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolytes. The OCV is classically calculated with Wagner’s equation. However, using SDC electrolytes requires both qualitative and quantitative experimental verification of leakage c...

Synthesis. solid state structure and spectro-electrochemistry of ferrocene-ethynyl phosphine and phosphine oxide transition metal complexes

The synthesis of ferroeene-ethynyl phosphine platinum dichloride complexes based on (FeC=C)"Ph3 _ nP (ta, 11 = 1; tb, 11 = 2; te, 11 = 3; Fe = ferroeenyl, (.,s-CsHs)(.,s-CsH4 )Fe) is deseribed. Air-oxidation of te afforded (FeC= ChP=O (6). Treatment of ta-tc with [(PhC= NJ,PtClz] (2) or [(tht)AuCI] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) (7), respeetively, gave the heterometallie transition complexes cis-[...

Nitrides: Transition Metal Solid-State Chemistry

Together with the transition metal carbides and borides, the transition metal nitrides belong to a family of materials that features an unusual combination of outstanding properties, among which are exceptional hardness, high melting point, metallic luster with sometimes vivid colors, and simple metallic structures combined with excellent electrical and thermal conductivities. This combination ...
