The title compound, C(11)H(18)N(2)S(4), was unexpectedly obtained during studies on the reactivity of the complex tris-(acac-κ(2)O,O')gallium(III) (acac is acetyl-acetonate) with C(4)H(8)NCS(2)H in dichloro-methane. The title compound shows disordered two pyrrolidine rings with major and minor occupancies of 0.546 (4) and 0.454 (4). Two (pyrrolidin-1-yl)carbothio-ylsulfanyl units are linked tog...

A series of oxometallic species and metal acetylacetonates (acac) was examined as catalysts for oxidative carbonylation of styrene with benzaldehyde using t-butylhydroperoxide as the co-oxidant in warm acetonitrile. Among them, VO((acac)2 and vanadyl(IV) chloride were found to be the only catalyst class to achieve cross-coupling processes by judiciously tuning the ligand electronic attributes, ...

A two-step procedure was implemented to obtain tungsten oxide nanowires (WO3) doped with cobalt or silver oxide nanoparticles from metal-organic precursors, W(CO)6, Co(acac)2 and Ag(acac)2. In the first step, nanowires were grown at 400 °C using an aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition system (AA-CVD) and subsequently annealed at 500 °C for 2 h. In the second step, metal loading (at differ...

It was reported that the chopper on the MISM would fall out of lock (with its reference) over time, and it was suspected that this was due to changes in the temperature of the motor. Other unusual behavior was also reported such as only being able to achieve lock when the motor speed was increasing towards the desired value and not when a trying to reduce from one speed to another. It was repor...

The biaryl coupling of substituted aromatic alcohols and the oxidation of p-hydroquinones with molecular oxygen catalyzed by VO(acac)2 were achieved in good to excellent yields.

On the latest accelerated beams, all the RF systems, the axial buncher [2], the three RF cavities of the superconducting cyclotron [7] and the high energy chopper [2], have been driven from the DDS generator. The phase stability, between these components of the RF System [3], is stable in order to ensure the stability on the extracted and choppered beam. With this new generator based on the Dir...
