In this study the molecular geometries, experimental vibrational and electronic absorption spectra and quantum chemical calculations of free dimethyl phenylphosphonite, (C8H11PO2), (with synonym, dimethoxyphenylphosphine or phenyldimethoxyphosphine) (Abbreviated as DMPP) and its [Cd(DMPP)].Cl2.H2O metal halide complex have been investigated by using elemental analysis, FT-IR, micro-Raman and UV...

The structure of the title compound, [Sn(2)Br(1.97)Cl(4.03)(OH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2C(3)H(6)O, contains two hexa-coordinated Sn atoms bridged symmetrically by two hydroxide groups, with an inversion center in the middle of the planar Sn(2)O(2) ring, half of the mol-ecule being generated by inversion symmetry. The other sites of the distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry are occupied by halide a...

We demonstrate that, via controlled anion exchange reactions using a range of different halide precursors, we can finely tune the chemical composition and the optical properties of presynthesized colloidal cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), from green emitting CsPbBr3 to bright emitters in any other region of the visible spectrum, and back, by displacement of Cl(-) or I(-) ions a...

(1) It is shown that in the hydrogen halide molecules (internuclear distance ro) the proton penetrates the electronic shell of the anion to a depth which for the simplified case of spherical symmetry can be characterized by the condition: The amount of negative charge beyond the sphere of radius ro equals Ie, (2) From the dipole moments p.=xero of the hydrogen halide molecules it can be conclud...

We report a new class of catalytic reaction: the thermal substitution of a secondary and or tertiary alkyl halide with a nitrogen nucleophile. The alkylation of a nitrogen nucleophile with an alkyl halide is a classical method for the construction of C-N bonds, but traditional substitution reactions are challenging to achieve with a secondary and or tertiary alkyl electrophile due to competing ...

We developed a new laboratory polymerizing unit (Twinkle MIII: M3) equipped with different light sources (a metal halide and two halogen lamps) that could illuminate independently. This study introduced the structure of the curing unit and examined the curing depth of a representative indirect composite (Artglass). The composite material was cured with the following modes: 1) M3 - halogen only;...

Simple mononuclear Cu(I)-halide complexes, [CuX(PPh3)2(4-Mepy)] (X = Cl(-), Br(-), I(-); PPh3 = triphenylphosphine; 4-Mepy = 4-methylpyridine), were prepared. They exhibit blue light emission, with extremely high photoluminescence quantum yields approaching 100% in the crystals. Emission lifetime analyses and density functional theory calculations revealed that the bright blue light emission at...

The tolerance factor is a widely used predictor of perovskite stability. The recent interest in hybrid perovskites for use as solar cell absorbers has lead to application of the tolerance factor to these materials as a way to explain and predict structure. Here we critically assess the suitability of the tolerance factor for halide perovskites. We show that the tolerance factor fails to accurat...

The electrochemical behavior of aqueous Hg(II) ions at a gold film electrode is described. The effects of supporting electrolyte and halide ions on the anodic stripping voltammetric behavior of Hg(II) ions was illustrated to prepare a basis for the analysis in real samples with high saline content. The concentration ratio of metallic mercury to halide ions at the electrode surface determines th...

Materials exhibiting high ionic conductivities in the solid state at room temperature have mainly been found in silver ion conductors based on silver iodide and in copper ion conductors which are based on cuprous halide. Silver iodide and cuprous halide show low ionic conductivities at room temperature, while they are high conductivity solids at relatively higher temperatures. In order to obtai...
