A novel trinuclear cobalt(III) phosphate complex, {[Co(en)2]3(PO4)(HPO4)}2(H2PO4)Cl7 Æ 6H2O, has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray structure determination and NMR spectroscopy. The compound includes an unprecedented type of discrete cluster with three metal atoms bridged by two phosphate anions. The clusters are associated in chains by strong hydrogen bonds PO4 H PO4. T...

Calcium dichloride tetra urea was prepared by the reaction of calcium chloride with urea in aqueous solution. The crystals are monoclinic, a= 7.633, b= 12.45 1, c= 8.118 ?,? = 113.17, Z = 4, space group P 2,/a. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray methods and refined to R= 0.041. The calcium atoms are coordinated to four oxygen atoms of urea and to two chloride ions....

Rare-earth-doped bismuth silicate (Bi4Si3O12, BSO) crystal is a multifunctional material for scintillation, LED, and laser applications. In the present study, Er3+ Yb3+ ions co-doped crystals were grown by modified vertical Bridgman method, their spectral properties investigated first time. Transparent Er/Yb: BSO single up to ? 25 mm × 30 was obtained. The segregation coefficient of measured be...

The first crystal structure of a phenylcyanamide cobaltoxime (cobaloxime) complex is reported. This compound is trans-[Co((DO)(DOH)pn)(2,5-Cl2pcyd)2], and consits of an imine-oxime equatorial ligand ((DO)(DOH)pn) and two 2,5-dichlorophenylcyanamide ligands in axial positions. Crystals of trans- [Co((DO)(DOH)pn)(2,5-Cl2pcyd)2] were grown by ether diffusion into an acetonitrile solution of the co...

A new cobalt(III) complex salt, [cis-Co(en)2(C8H7O2)2](C8H7O2) Æ 2H2O, has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal Xray structure determination. This is the first example of a cobalt(III) compound of this type with two p-methylbenzoate groups in cisconfiguration. The cations and anions are associated in chains by strong NH . . . O hydrogen bonds. The crystal lattice is stabilized b...

Pt/SiO2 model catalyst samples, prepared under UHV conditions in a contiguous high pressure reactor cell surface analysis chamber, have been characterized via CO oxidation reaction kinetics under elevated pressure conditions (approaching 1 atm). Reaction kinetics are studied as a function of Pt coverage (hPt = 1–10 mL), along with measurements on a Pt(110) single crystal for direct comparison. ...
