The title compound, [V(2)F(2)O(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], is a centrosymmetric binuclear vanadium(V) species with the metal ions in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The symmetry-equivalent V(V) atoms exhibit coordination geometries defined by cis-terminal fluoride and oxide groups, unsymmetrically bridging oxide groups and the N-atom donors of the phenanthroline ligands. The crystal packing is ...

The title compound, [V(2)F(2)O(4)(C(10)H(8)N)(2)], is a centrosymmetric binuclear vanadium(V) species with the metal ions in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The coordination geometries of the symmetry-equivalent V(V) atoms are defined by cis-terminal fluoride and oxide groups, unsymmetrically bridging oxide groups and the N-atom donors of the bipyridyl ligand. The crystal packing is stabil...

Carbon nanotube–metal–oxide composites (metal=Fe, Co or Fe/Co alloy; oxide=Al2O3, MgO or MgAl2O4) have been prepared by hot-pressing the corresponding composite powders, in which the carbon nanotubes, mostly single or double-walled, are very homogeneously dispersed between the metal–oxide grains. For the sake of comparison, ceramic and metal–oxide nanocomposites have also been prepared. The mic...

The hybridization of vanadium ions and oxygen is considered for four oxides included in the Magneli series: VO, V 2 O 3 , VO 5 . Based on data hybridization, details structure crystal lattice these are analyzed. For each oxide, role electrons not participating stabilization frame process semiconductor-metal phase transition was revealed. complex Mott-Peierls character transitions all listed str...

V(2)O(5) nanofilms (NFs) uniformly distributed on N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit significantly stable capacitive performance; the synthesized composites are promising as an instantaneous power supply in consumer electronics or electrical vehicles.

Polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes with highly uniform surface and tunable wall thickness were fabricated by one-step vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) using anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template membranes, and transformed into carbon nanotubes through a carbonization process.

Synthesis of clean double-walled carbon nanotubes by a catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) method is reported; the catalyst is a Mg(1 - x)Co(x)O solid solution containing additions of Mo oxide; this MgO-based catalyst can be easily removed, leading to gram-scale amounts of clean carbon nanotubes, 77% of which are double-walled carbon nanotubes.

Polyimide nanotubes with tunable wall thickness were fabricated by a precursor impregnation method using an AAO template, and carbon nanotubes containing magnetic iron oxide were obtained using ferric chloride-embedded polyimide precursor by a carbonization process.

The search for higher-performance photothermal microactuators has typically involved unavoidable trade-offs that hinder the demonstration of ubiquitous devices with high energy density, speed, flexibility, efficiency, sensitivity, and multifunctionality. Improving some of these parameters often implies deterioration of others. Photothermal actuators are driven by the conversion of absorbed opti...
