Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy was applied to study the stereochemical properties of a star-burst type tetranuclear Ru(III) complex, Δ-(or Λ-)[{Δ-(or Λ-)-Ru(III)(acac)(2)(taet)}(3)Ru(III)] (acac = acetylacetonato; taet = tetraacetylethanato). By comparing the VCD spectra of eight diastereomeric enantiomers, it was shown that the spectra reflected the homo- or hetero-chiral na...

Reaction of [Ti4Zr4O6(OBu)4(OMc)16] (OMc = methacrylate) with acetylacetone (acacH) resulted in dissection of the cluster and formation of [Ti(OBu)2(acac)2] and the smaller cluster [Ti2Zr4O4(OMc)16]. In contrast, the same reaction with [Zr6O4(OH)4(OOCR)12]2·6RCOOH (R = Et, CH2CH=CH2) led to site-selective substitution of two carboxylate ligands and formation of isostructural [Zr6O4(OH)4(OOCR)12...

In this study, reactions of (PPh2)2NCH2CH2N(PPh2)2 (L1) and {(PPh2)2NCH2CH2}3N (L2) with [RuII(acac)2(CH3CN)2] led to the production new dinuclear complex [Ru(acac)2]2(L1) (1) trinuclear [Ru(acac)2]3(L2) (2). Complex 1 2 are excellent candidates for role catalyst precursors in transfer hydrogenation (TH) acetophenone its derivatives. Compared (1), (2) is an exceptional catalyst, producing corre...

The power system network is becoming more complex nowadays and it is very difficult to maintain the stability of the power system. The main purpose of this paper proposes a 12-pulse based Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) with and without Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) for enhancing the voltage stability and power oscillation damping in multi area system. Control sche...

Temporal encoding of stimulus features related to the pitch of iterated rippled noises was studied for single units in the chinchilla cochlear nucleus. Unlike other periodic complex sounds that produce pitch, iterated rippled noises have neither periodic waveforms nor highly modulated envelopes. Infinitely iterated rippled noise (IIRN) is generated when wideband noise (WBN) is delayed (tau), at...

The crystallization of [Mn(acac)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](+) from solutions containing excess nitrate leads to the formation of four polymorphs. All polymorphs contain two different types of complex ions, one containing essentially coplanar acac ligands and the other in which the two acac ligands together assume a chair conformation. Molecular modelling using DFT (density-functional theory) calculations s...

A series of novel palladium(ii) acetylacetonato complexes bearing mesoionic carbenes (MICs) have been synthesized and characterized. The synthesis of the complexes of type (MIC)Pd(acac)I (MIC = 1-mesityl-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (1), 1,4-(2,4,6-methyl)-phenyl-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (2), 1,4-(2,6-diisopropyl)-phenyl-3-methyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (3); acac = acetylac...
